Urbay Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner and Glide-on Shadow Pencil Swatches

While I love Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liners and MAC Superslick Liquid Eyeliners, I've been waiting forever to see the new Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliners in person. I finally got to see them today and couldn't resist picking up a couple of my usual shades. The Eyeliners are retailing at S$32 at Sephora in Singapore, versus US$20 (about S$25) in the US, £14 (S$28) in the UK and 18€ (S$31) in France.

The liquid eye liner has a super fine brush and contains 1.7ml of product (same as Stila sparkle eye liners whereas MAC Superslick Eyeliners contain 1.8ml). Like the Stila liners, the UD version is also made in Germany (where apparently two companies make the majority of eyeliners for all the major brands).

Of the eleven shades available, I was naturally drawn to Retrograde (shimmery dark purple) and Siren, a shimmery teal that looks darker than Stila's Sparkle Liner in Electric.

Below are swatches of ten of the shades (excluding Retrograde).

Left column (top to bottom): Eldorado, Bobby Dazzle, Revolver, Radium, Siren, Smog
Right column: Woodstock, Demolition, Perversion, Sabbath

Most of the shades are wonderfully pigmented and layer easily for an intense, opaque finish. Woodstock and Eldorado appear to be more sheer than the rest. I love the metallic finish of the shimmery shades like Bobby Dazzle and Revolver. These set fairly quickly and once they dry, they did not budge, smear or flake at all when I tried rubbing them off with tissue. I was able to remove them with eye makeup remover.

I also purchased the 24/7 Glide-on Shadow Pencil in Delinquent, a lovely rich royal purple with sparkles that didn't look like any shade in my current stash.

Top row (left to right): Barracuda, Wasteland, Lit, Clash
Bottom row: Sin, Clinic, Retrograde, Barracuda,

Bottom row: Retrograde, Barracuda, Narc, Rehab, Mercury


I also did some quick swatches of the Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color: (from left to right) Adrenaline, F Bomb, Crush, Big Bang, Punch Drunk.

True to the name, these apply smoothly for an intense pop of colour and they felt quite emollient. Although I liked the vibrant pink of Adrenaline, I'm just not a fan of jumbo lip pencils that require sharpening. Furthermore, Milani offers a much cheaper version with very similar shades.
