Love that it does what it says - does NOT smear/bleed onto your eyelid. That's easy to have happen when you get older and your eyes aren't as wide & open as they once were, and everything smudges up onto your upper eyelid. This doesn't do that! LOVE LOVE LOVE Urban Decay!

Rock on,

i first liked Prestige's waterproof eye pencils and they worked great during winter and fall but now that it's summer, they melt and i end up with raccoon eyes by the end of the day! anyway, i tried urban's zero pencil and so far i like it a LOT. it glides on smoothly (as it proclaims) and even after rubbing the inner and outer corner of my eyes (i yawn a lot and my eyes get very teary which is one of the reasons why i need a waterproof pencil!) several times - it still stayed on and did not smudge! i'm satisfied. even expensive brand names like lancome can't cut it. believe me, i've tried many and so far urban is on the top of my list. Prestige is not bad...their black waterproof eyeliner is pretty good!

A High Five and loud, prolonged applause for these pencils! I'd given up trying to use any eye liner because all the pulling and tugging of skin simply wasn't worth it to me. Then I tried my first Glide from Urban Decay, and it not only glides - it sails leaving color that lasts through rain, snow, sleet and gloom of night. Thank you, Urban Decay!

Love the latest from Urban Decay - their new Deluxe Eye shadows - so soft like silk yet long lasting. Colors are luxe, rich, such as Underground, a wonderful neutral taupe with a touch of pizzazz and Shag, a tender brown with a tad of bronze.

Deepen a shade for evening wear or be subtle from morn through the night.

The only must-have for me with these shadows are the just out Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils. These pencils are soft, creamy and deliver a pow of color to complement the shadow and make eyes bigger and brighter.

The Bourbon pencil with the Shag shadow is my current favorite. Bourbon is also great with the Scratch shadow (a shimmer of champagne). Another top of my list combo is the Gunmetal pencil with the Scratch shadow.

Choices, choices, choices! Enjoy!

These penicls are awesome! They glide on so smoothly and don't rub off too easily! They're rich and beautiful and can give your eyes such a fun, glamorous look! The quality is outstanding, and the colors are so vibrant . . . Urban Decay has done it again! I LOVE them!

This is hands down, one of the best eyeliners ever. Definitely the longest lasting. It will not smudge, run, fade or crease.

You can also use as an allover color on lids -- or as a base for layering.

The color selection is gorgeous. Something for everyone. Some of the pencils are too glittery for me, but I just use those sparingly or to highlight another color.

I found the color choice daunting, so I bought a special edition package of 9 travle sized pencils and one full size "Zero" pencil. This gave me a way to sample the top sellers without having to spend a fortune.

The top selling color is ZERO... a matte black. I do like this color, but wish it was more black.

Lastly, you will need a good waterproof eye makeup remover -- this is stubborn stuff.

This eyeliner is so great. It goes on so smoothly and stays put for hours. It only smears on my pillow at night when I go to bed without taking off my makup. I wear it with the BE eye shadows and they really go well together.

Does go on softly and smoothly, but still smudges a lot after a short time. I wanted something that stayed on longer, but this doesn't cut it especially for the price. It's better on the top eyelid because it doesn't smudge as much on the top. I'll stick to my Almay Intense i-color at least for my lower lid. Overall it's overrated and overpriced.

I have been a long-time user for urban decay products, but the "24/7" eyeliner is NOT waterproof. After a few hours it starts to smudge. I wore it to the pool one day and I came out with eyeliner down to my chin. I love the amount of colors it comes in and how great of a texture it was, but it just isnt worth the money.

These pencils are great because of their ease of application, wonderful colors available (with amusing names!), and their durability.

Until these eyeliners, I had never had much luck with eye pencils as they were hard to apply (literally hard as a rock) or too difficult to rub in or the opposite they were too soft and ran causing dark lines to form above your eye or black smudges under the eyes etc. These pencils apply nicely. They are not too soft or too hard, so that they can be smudged just so or even removed by rubbing gently and reapplying etc.

The great colors rely heavily on sprinklings of other colors, so that a brown like Bourbon or Stash has a number of colors swirled into it along with the brown. If you have hazel eyes, you can bring a lot of colors out. If you have brown eyes (like me), you can have a less intense look to your eyeliner. I have most of the colors and use them according to whim. If I use one that is blue or green (Mildew) I can then rub it in to make it less strong and reline the eye with a black or brown so that the blue or green is not too monolithic.

As an aside, these pencils work well whether you are old or young. For those of you who have heard the generalization that older women (late 30s to 50s on up) should not wear sparkles or glitter as it makes them look older (an idea that is debatable and based upon the individual, surely?!? Perhaps the way that eye makeup is applied is more important than the color? If you lay it on thick, you had better be young or you might look ridiculous?), I must report that these pencils are "adult" enough. In other words, these pencils are not best for teenagers or 20 year olds in spite of the youthful names of the colors. I am sensitive to dressing and making myself up as befits my age (as I am proud and happy to be in my 40s), and I am not in the slightest bit concerned that these eyeliners scream "please think that I am ten years younger" in any way!! I would hate that. They work quite well whether you are young or old. Youth will look even more scrumptious than usual, while older good looks are enhanced!

Because of the pencils' fabulous texture that is the perfect density (not too hard, not too soft--Goldilocks and all of that....), they will then last all day or all night without too much liner gooping under the eye by the evening or next day.

Bottom line--It depends upon how attached you are to money and how drawn to makeup you are. My sister tried two colors and loved them, but she never stopped complaining about their price or the price of the sharpener (which you will need as they work best when sharpened). She also complained that the sharpener shaved away too much of the pencil when used. I agree, but I am still happy because I am not as cheap as she is!!! No doubt, the expense for the pencil is ridiculous as is the price of the sharpener, but if you accept that eyeliners have to be expensive to be decent (like I have) you will not only pay but be really happy that they exist at all!!
