The Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil Glitter Rocks - Electric Empire is engineered for high performance in various eye makeup applications. Its creamy texture ensures a smooth glide, making it easy to create crisp lines or achieve a softer, smoked-out effect.
For precise lines, apply directly to the lash line. Its highly pigmented formula means you won't need to apply much pressure, reducing drag. The waterproof quality ensures your winged liner or tightline stays put throughout the day and night without smudging.
Thanks to its gentle and nourishing formula, this pencil is suitable for the waterline. The vibrant 'Electric Empire' color, with its subtle sparkle, will intensify your gaze, making your eyes appear larger and more defined.
Its unique feature is its ability to be smudged quickly before it sets. To use as a shadow:
Apply a thicker line along your lash line or directly onto the lid.
Immediately use a clean brush or your fingertip to blend and smudge the product upwards and outwards.
Work on one eye at a time, as it sets quickly to its 24/7 wear finish. This creates an easy smoky eye or a vibrant base for powder shadows.
For a softer line, warm the pencil tip slightly on the back of your hand before application.
Always recap the pencil tightly to prevent the formula from drying out.
If using for a smoky effect, apply an eye primer first to enhance blendability and longevity.
When applied, allow a few seconds for the product to fully set to activate its waterproof and smudge-proof properties.
Getting the most out of your Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil involves simple steps for setup, understanding its compatibility, and proper care to ensure its longevity.
First Use: Your pencil is ready to use straight out of the package.
Sharpening: This pencil is designed to be sharpened. Use a high-quality, cosmetic-grade sharpener that has two sizes (one for standard pencils, one for jumbo). A dull blade can chew up the pencil. For best results, occasionally clean your sharpener and replace its blade when it gets dull. If the pencil material seems too soft for sharpening, try placing it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before sharpening.
Makeup Products: This eye pencil is highly compatible with other makeup products. It layers well over eye primers, under powder eyeshadows, and alongside mascaras. Its waterproof nature means it won't run into other products.
Skin Types: Formulated with Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil, it is generally suitable for various skin types. However, as with any cosmetic product, if you have particularly sensitive skin or eyes, it's advisable to perform a patch test on a small area first.
Contact Lenses: The formula is typically well-tolerated by contact lens wearers, but individual sensitivities vary.
Storage: Store your eye pencil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent the formula from hardening or melting.
Recap Tightly: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain its smooth, creamy texture.
Cleaning: Keep the tip clean by sharpening regularly. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals directly on the pencil itself.
Removal: To effectively remove the waterproof and long-wearing formula, use an oil-based makeup remover or a bi-phase cleanser. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press gently onto the eyelid for a few seconds to dissolve the product, then wipe away. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
