Urban Decay COSURB223 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil, Creamy and Smudge-Proof
Product description
As a pencil eyeliner, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On gives you the control to draw a defined line or soften it into a smoky look. Its creamy formula glides across the lid, then sets into a waterproof finish, the product is advertised for up to 16 hours of wear.
The pencil is made for flexible eye looks, from everyday definition to blended evening makeup. Vitamin E, jojoba oil, and cottonseed oil are included to condition and soften the skin around the lash line.
Getting the most from it
Apply the pencil along the lids or use it to tightline. For a smoky effect, blend the line within a few seconds, while the creamy texture is still workable. It then sets, so you can choose between a crisp outline and a softer, diffused finish without changing products.
The formula can also be used on the waterline. For a sharp wing, a liquid liner offers a more precise format, this pencil is the more flexible choice when you want to blend your liner or build a smoky base. Wear can vary with factors such as watering eyes, so the up-to-16-hour claim is best understood as the advertised maximum rather than a guaranteed result for every application.

What stands out
The key difference is the combination of glide and blendability. The pencil applies smoothly for a defined line, while its soft texture gives you a short window to smudge the color before it sets. That makes it useful for transitioning from a clean outline to a smoky look with the same product. The range offers five finishes, so shoppers can choose between understated matte color and more reflective shimmer, metallic, or glitter effects.
Buyers often praise the smooth application and creamy feel. Feedback is more mixed on color, lasting wear, and resistance to smudging: some find the shade vivid and long-lasting, while others report different color expectations or movement when their eyes water. The pencil's creamy texture is central to its easy blending, use a light hand when shaping the line, then blend promptly for a softer result.
For a clean tip, Urban Decay recommends a gel-specific sharpener such as its Grindhouse sharpener. The soft formula can jam or crumble in a standard sharpener, so a suitable sharpener helps maintain a neater point. A sharp tip is useful for narrow definition, while a slightly softened line works well as a smoky base.
