Urban Decay!


So I used to be completely against eyeliner. I wear contacts and believe that wearing makeup directly above and below your eyeballs is a little dangerous and completely unnecessary. I still believe that the best bet is to stay away from it when you're wearing contact lenses. But if a special occasion happens to ensue and you want to dress your lids up a little, try a funky shade of liner, at least, like navy blue. I've had this Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil for months in my makeup drawer and never really used it, so I figured I'd try. It's the Deviant shade (see title link), and I just lined my outer corners with it and smudged it a bit with my fingers so it didn't get too close to the interior of the eye. It definitely made them look subtly different without making me look like I was trying too hard. It's waterproof and creamy-feeling, too, so you don't feel any sharp points when applying. 50% of the product consists of moisturizing components like Vitamin E and Jojoba and Cottonseed oils, your skin truly feels conditioned, as its website describes.
The only catch? One pencil costs $16. But it's pretty long and lasts for a while, so weigh the risks vs. benefits yourself.
