This product is garbage in cute packaging.

I generally love Urban Decay products, but this one is absolute garbage. Yes, the packaging looks awesome—the peacock design on the front is cool and kind of funky (as with most of Urban Decay's designs), it has space for a handy dual ended sponge applicator and an angled eyeliner brush (a pretty useful tool of decent quality), and even has a mirror in it! However, the mirror is long and slender, which means you have to hold the compact sideways to really see your whole eye closely. I didn't end up using the mirror for this reason. Onto the color: I owned Ink for Eyes in “Empire,” which is a blue-based shade of purple. The texture of this is awful. I had a supposedly brand new package that I received in a giveaway, but it seemed really really dry. I went to my local Sephora to see their tester, and it was exactly the same way. I had seen online swatches of “Empire” that looked creamy, and had assumed that I'd gotten a bad batch, but it seems that that's just how the product is. I swatched all of the other colors as well, and only found one or two of them to be even half decent. It's difficult to get the product onto the brush because it's so hard and balls up whether I use the angled brush or the sponge applicator (I even scraped off the surface of the product, hoping it was softer and creamier underneath—it wasn't). The color balls up when you try to apply it. It is very difficult to get a decent amount of color onto your lids. It also smudges easily and transfers onto my upper lid. Finally, it's SPENDIER than other high end gel/cream liners like MAC, Stila, and Bobbi Brown—but the product is WORSE than anything you'll find at the drugstore! (but in cuter packaging). If you want a purple gel or cream liner, get one of Physicians Formula Creamliner trios (it even comes with a brush), or MAC's Fluidline in Macroviolet. — 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Urban Decay Ink for Eyes

lesa5363 (347 reviews)

I have always prefered a gel type eye liner versus a liquid, and I was thrilled when Urban Decay introduced this line. I love the little package, and the brush is great for me, it really works well. I had no problem applying this, it dried quickly, much quicker than MAC Fliudline and it wore extremely well for me. I had no smudging or smearing after hours of wear. I am really oily, so I always use Urban Decay's Primer Potion, and perhaps that helped keep the Ink For Eyes in place all day. All in all, I love Ink For Eyes. — 2 years, 6 months ago

Best eyeliner ive ever used

This is the best eyeliner I have used and is definitely worth the price. It is so easy to apply, the brush works great for creating thin lines. It also lasts all day which is great. I love it! — 2 months ago
