The Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in 'Glitter Rocks - Wild Side' is engineered for high performance and versatile application. Its creamy texture allows for an incredibly smooth glide across the lash line or lid, ensuring no tugging or skipping. Once applied, the formula quickly sets to become waterproof and smudge-proof, providing up to 24/7 wear. The rich pigmentation ensures a vivid, sparkling color payoff with minimal effort.
Real-World Applications:
Precise Eyeliner: Apply a thin line along the upper lash line for a subtle pop of color and sparkle, or create a bolder winged look for dramatic flair. The smooth application makes drawing crisp lines achievable.
Smudged Kohl: For a softer, smoky effect, apply a thicker line and immediately smudge it with a brush or fingertip before it sets. The sparkle adds a unique dimension to a smoky eye.
Eyeshadow Base: Apply the pencil directly to the eyelid and blend quickly with a brush or finger. Its long-wearing nature acts as an excellent base to layer powder eyeshadows, intensifying their color and improving their longevity.
Waterline Definition: Its waterproof nature makes it suitable for application on the waterline, providing intense color that resists fading throughout the day.
Inner Corner Highlight: A small dab on the inner corner of the eye can add a bright, sparkling highlight.
Remember to work quickly when blending, as the 24/7 formula is designed to set fast for its long-lasting effect.
Setup & Application:
Preparation: Ensure your eyelids are clean and dry. For extended wear and intensity, you may apply an eye primer first.
Application as Eyeliner: Gently pull your eyelid taut. Starting from the inner corner, glide the pencil along your lash line. For a thicker line, repeat the process, building up the desired width.
Application as Kohl: Apply along the upper and/or lower lash line. For a smoky effect, immediately use a smudge brush or fingertip to blend before the product sets.
Application as Eyeshadow: Apply directly to the eyelid, then quickly blend outwards with a brush or finger to create an even wash of color.
Sharpening: If this is a traditional pencil (not twist-up), use a cosmetic sharpener designed for eye pencils to maintain a fine point. > Info needed: Confirm if this variant is a traditional sharpenable pencil or a twist-up.
Tip: For best results when sharpening, place the pencil in a freezer for 5-10 minutes beforehand to harden the formula and prevent crumbling.
Compatibility:
Eyes: This product is specifically designed for use around the eye area (eyelids, lash line, waterline).
Other Products: Compatible with most eye primers, mascaras, and powder eyeshadows.
Care & Maintenance:
Storage: Store the pencil in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its creamy texture and prevent drying out.
Hygiene: To prevent eye infections, always apply to clean skin and avoid sharing your eye pencil with others. Close the cap securely after each use.
Sharpening: If applicable, regularly sharpen the pencil to maintain hygiene and a precise tip. Clean your sharpener frequently.
Safety Information:
Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Avoid direct contact with the inner eye (eyeball itself). If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
