Urban Decay Eyeliners

I’m that person who loves to wear eyeliner & looking over my stash of liners (mostly liquid) they’re 90% black. I don’t feel like myself without a winged liner. I have been wearing eyeliner since I was 15 so that’s 21 years now (cries) I’m obsessed with looking for the perfect liner & I was excited to learn that Urban Decay released some new liners into their range, and I’ve been enjoying them all. I reviewed the Cream Liner here if you’d like to read that. Urban Decay has dubbed this latest release ‘A Wardrobe For Your Eyes‘ which I like, as we like to switch it up and wear certain liners to create specific looks. A girl needs options, right?! Here are my thoughts on their latest releases.

Urban Decay Black Eyeliners

Urban Decay Ink for Eyes Waterproof Precision Eye Pen in Perversion

This is Urban Decay’s felt pen liner has a fancy 360-degree nib which makes applying eyeliner so much easier. This user-friendly ultra fine nib means that even eyeliner novices are able to apply their eyeliner with ease. It allows you to move the nib in any direction without dragging or pulling at the skin, it also means your eyeliner is much neater and looks fab.

This Ink For Eyes is super black and dries to a glossy/shiny finish that won’t budge. Take it from me a girl with oily eyelids once this liner has dried its there until the bitter end. I like how this fine tipped liner is able to create the finest of fine cat flicks to the most dramatic bold lines. It allows you precision and the bold intense Perversion Black colour does not fade throughout the day. If you’re like wearing liquid liner you must give this a go, you won’t regret it.

24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil / All Nighter Eyeliner / Ink For Eyes

24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil in Black Velvet

This is Urban Decays more Velvet version of their popular 24/7 pencils. This new formula is a little more powdery and dries to a matte velvet finish. It is still intense in colour even when blended out to create the perfect smoky eye. It’s quite hard to create a precise line with this pencil but if you’re a Smoky Eye fan then you will love the ease at which this applies and needs little work to create that sultry smoky look. It’s soft in texture and you have just enough time to blend it, once blended this 24/7 Velvet liner is there until you decide to take it off. It’s waterproof and very long wearing. So I would say this is the ultimate pencil for creating a soft smoky eye.

This pencil is paraben free and contains Jojoba Oil so it is moisturising & won’t dry out your eyes.

Urban Decay Perversion Eyeliners

Urban Decay All Nighter Eyeliner in Perversion*

Now, this is seriously intense in colour, I wish I could say that I’m hip enough to have tested this after an all-night party but sadly not. I have however worn it for some long days & have to say this stays put like no other liner. It is bold, and intense in colour & once on the eye, it won’t budge. This is a twist up liner which I like as I always lose my sharpener (OK I’m just lazy), but the packaging is slick and the twist up pencil makes it always to ready to use.

This eyeliner is waterproof and contains moisturising Vitamin E & is also Vegan

Rimmel Sandaleyes Liners

A few weeks ago I received a Boots gift card for my birthday which I quickly spent on makeup. Shock horror. Boots were having their 3 for 2 across all makeup items so I picked up a fair few things 3 of those being some Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliners. These are fabulous. I had wanted to try them for a while and had seen some really good reviews about the Nude colour, I was excited to try them out.

 Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Black, Nude and Bronze 

I’ve always been a huge fan of coloured eyeliner (I went back and got the blue and silver ones too) – even if it looks a little 80’s. I’ve found these waterproof Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohls really do stay put all day and I’m a devil for rubbing and messing with my eyes throughout the day and these stay put regardless. Rimmel claim they will withstand ‘tears, sweat, humidity’ and they don’t lie. These are stubborn and I was shocked with how well they lasted esp as they’re only £3.99.

They glide on the eye with minimum effort and they do not drag at all. They’re creamy and all of the ones I have tried (5 in total) are all really pigmented without having to go over and over the same line. They are an inexpensive way to get a flash of colour that will stay all day. Perfect for me as I hate to reapply when I am out and rarely carry much makeup with me .

The nude colour is perfect for the waterline to brighten tired eyes and make them look bigger. The black is a great bold black it’s really quite dark and that deep colour transfers well on to the lid or waterline. I also like the bronze shade for when I wear a neutral eye and it blends so well. It has a slight shimmer to it. Not glittery but when the light hits it looks almost metallic it’s really pretty.

These eyeliners come in 7 shades from a classic black to a gorgeous silver. I highly recommend you try to pick these up esp when on offer. Full price they are £3.99 from Boots. Such a total bargain. Have you tried any of these Rimmel eyeliners? How did you find them?
