In LOVE
I love these pencils. They are technically an over-sized version of the regular 24/7 pencils, but most of these have glitter in them. Naturally, UD makes them highly pigmented so you don't have to spend a lot of time building color. These glide on effortlessly and I like the little shimmer from the glitter. They are more pricier than the regular 24/7 pencils so some people may prefer investing in those instead if they want to save a few bucks. — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 7 people said helpful

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencils
I bought the 5 pack they were selling over the holidays. My first reaction was to compare them to NYX's jumbo pencils (both cream eyeshadow sticks, yes?) and these knocked them out of the park! I have very hooded/not quite monolid eyes, so staying power is important. I ALWAYS use the NYX HD shadow base, and paired with these? BOOM! All day wear, no creasing, great colors. :D These pencils are amazing. I wear contacts and live in a high-humidity climate. I've never before had a waterproof eye product that didn't at least start flaking part-way through the day, but this stays pristine for a full 12 hours (at which point I take it off regardless). I use a basic all-over face primer and some concealer around the eyes, but no heavy-duty eye primer - the pencil stays put all by itself. Plus, application is silky smooth and easily blendable, which is so important around the eyes. Finally, it comes in a wide variety of colors, from basic blacks and browns to dressier, glittery shades. Love these... Started with Sin and Rehab... went out and got Lit and Mercury... FANTASTIC stuff! I've found that if I put on TooFaced Shadow Insurance on one eye, and before it sets... swipe on the shadow pencil... extra blendability, no creasing, no fading! Just do each eye separately... then there's plenty of time to blend. And once one layer of color is on, somehow layering and blending is easier. Like others have said, I wish this was in a twist pencil form rather than using a sharpener. And- I did manage to drop one which dinked the tip... But I just pushed it back on and made sure I applied straight from the tip downward (not on an angle) and I was able to save most of the product. I'm not sure how long these will last... I think MUFE's aqua eyes may be a better value in terms of the quantity of product. Amazing! It's the best eyeshadow pencil I've ever used! These pencils are highly pigmented, easy to apply, to blend and extremely waterproof and smudge-proof. And, easy to remove. I bought two - sin and rehab. They works great as both eyeshadow pencils and eyeliners. All these two pencils plus a mascara are all I need for my eyes. With these, I don't need to check my makeup after workouts or a tough day. For $20, I think it's a fair price for the quality and the amount of product I got. Since it's versatile (eyeshadow and eyeliner), I think it's a great buy while $18 for a eyeliner which is 1/3 amount is expensive for a pencil needed to be sharpen so often. These are super creamy and can be smudged really easily, plus it stays put when applied over the UD eye primer (original). The colour payoff is incredible! I also love the fact that I don't need to carry my e/s brushes along as these are so utterly travel friendly and just my fingers will do to smudge them. I am in total love with these e/s. I have the following colours which I totally love. Total repurchase always. Narc = mossy green e/s Sin = champagne e/s which i use for highlighting when using Narc and Rehab Rehab = beautiful neutral brown that is not too reddish or orangish or dirt brownish Delinquent = purple with golden flecks of shimmer Morphine = light purple that i use mostly for highlighting when using Delinquent — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 12 of 23 people said helpful

A Perfect Eyeliner!
I just received the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil in a teal color that is gorgeous! The color is highly pigmented, it applies smoothly without tugging, and it lasts all day and all night! If you are looking for an eyeliner that can be used as a shadow, in some fun colors and a few basics, that will last forever, pick this up! It will not go anywhere so you know you look perfect no matter what you're doing. — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

Incredible!
I cannot express how much I LOVE these pencils. I was a bit unsure at first because most of the time pencils like this don't last well, but these stay put. They are soft and easy to apply - no dragging here - and go right where you put them. I was incredibly surprised at their staying power - all day in the summer without primer. With primer they lasted all day and night without creasing. Incrediprible! The colors are also incredibly bright and pigmented — 9 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Making eyes
this pencils are great! they remind me of a high quality version of NYX jumbo eye pencils. They last very long and are easily blendable. They also work great as a "primer" just apply eye shadow on top to "set" them and they make the shadows last long and a lot more vibrant! — 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

versatile, blendable
These pencils come in very nice shimmery to sparkly shades, and are sooo soft, so you can blend with your fingers for eyeshadow that lasts all day. These are so portable, better than carrying around messy bulky eyeshadow palettes. Please make more colors!! — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 3 people said helpful

Review subject
My favorite color eyeliners. I love UD's eye makeup. They are so pigmented and stays put for a long time. These shadow pencils are no different. Each color is unique and blends well with their eye shadows. My favorite is Narc. It enhances my brown eyes. — 10 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Good staying power
These have very good staying power and a pretty shimmer. I just don't find the colors to be vibrant enough and maybe they are a little TOO shimmery for someone my age (turning 40). But a nice product nonetheless. — 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Love love love love love
Why did I wait so long to try these pencils from UD? I got Electric (bright blue) as part of a sample program, and it sat in my makeup drawer for months before I worked up the courage to try it on. Even though the shade is shocking, it actually looks great on (fair skin, brown eyes). I got several questions as to what I was wearing and where I got it and many compliments. It applies like silk - just glides on without tugging or little pieces falling off because the pencil is so crumbly. It dries incredibly quickly, so you do have to work fast. You've got enough time to blend before this pencil sets itself in stone. This is the first pencil I've found that lives up to its claim of hour wear. NOTHING will budge the color until you choose to take it off. I love that. No more under eye cleanup or crease blotting during the day to deal with migrating pencil or shadow. No primer is needed when using this either, which helps save a bit of time on rushed mornings. The best part is the range of colors these pencils come in. Everything from daring to demure and they all look amazing on. I've always leaned toward a more neutral or soft makeup style. These pencils have helped me incorporate color in a fun and very wearable way. I luckily got a set of these from Sephora when they first came out and wish I had gotten another set or two. I use as both eyeshado and eyeliner. UD pencils are a bit pricey, usually $18.00 a piece. But for the color payoff, length of wear, color saturation (which means you only need a little for a huge impact) and perfect consistency, you won't go through these like you would a typical eyeshadow/eyeliner pencil. I have some colors that I use daily and after almost a year still have 3-4" left. You really get your money's worth! — 11 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful
