Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil "Ransom" Review and Swatches

I guess we all agree that Urban Decay knows how to throw spark in our eyes through its 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil that has a large selection of color from metallic bright fun to wearable natural shade like matte brown, copper or black. They provide 40 permanent colors and sometimes they launch a few brand new limited edition colors mixed with permanent colors in set. We can choose any attractive shade that we want to play as well as the finish. I was captivated by the beauty of Ransom, its bright purple with pink and blue reflection is unique and cute but sad news for you who haven't seen or tried this color because it's discontinued from their permanent line.

Ransom is not sparkling, not exactly matte either. The pigment is sheer and it needs to be layered to build the intensity. It has waxy texture that glides on lids easy. And it feels comfortable to wear in waterline. It can be smudged before drying.

Thing to be noted -  some eye pencil products on the market are really easy to transfer (usually the drug stores product) and some are not. And Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil is categorized as the product that has great staying power especially under the normal circumstances. But for some people who have crazy greasy eyelids like mine, we always have problem with any eyeliner pencils. Whatever the brand that we use -  it tends to drag into eyelids or lower lash lines. But how messy the transfer is, it depends on the quality of the product itself. The migration of Ransom is not that messy compare to Etude Styling Eyeliner.

In this case, i have tips for people with oily lids. Do not wear eyeliner pencil by itself. You can improve its longevity by applying it over a good eye primer.

Price
IDR 270.000

Pros

• It is safe for waterline 
• The color is cute and different
• The staying power is great

Cons

• It has to be sharpen 
• It is less pigmented

Overall, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil Ransom is a unique eyeliner color that gives a soft sheen and recommended for waterline. Needless to say, this color shouldn't be discontinued from their permanent line.

Make Over Eyeliner Pencil in Navy Blue Review and Swatches

There is an Indonesian proverb "Tak kenal maka tak sayang" which means "You don't know you don't love" - i think those words are suitable to describe my relationship with local brands the past few years. For quality reason, i was not really impressed with them. I used to underestimate before i gave them a try. But then, there comes a product which beyond my expectation has changed my point of view of local brands.

Well, it's Make Over Eyeliner Pencil in Navy Blue. I think I ran into this product by destiny. That time, i did make up for news presenter and she owned it. To be honest, what made me curious and wanted to try was its pretty greenish blue color that hypnotized. By chance, i love turquoise - somehow, it reminds me of ocean :) A few weeks later i went to a mall and found Make Over store, without thought twice i bought it.

The texture is smooth, creamy and frangible - that is why you have to be careful when you apply it if you don't want your eyeliner broke. It glides like butter. The color is super pigmented, you can see only in one swipe. When it sets, it's difficult to smudge. I tried to smudge it vigorously - damn - it's still there - only the shimmer transferred but too bad after couple hours wearing it i found this product dragged under my lower lash lines and onto crease area. To help lock it in place, i prime my eyelids and lower lash lines. 

In spite of the fact it wastes product in the process of making its tip pointed and the so so staying power. I still like it because it's easy to apply and the color is mesmerizing and subtle for everyday use with touch of a glam.

Price
IDR. 80.000,-
 

Pros 

• Affordable
• It is safe for waterline
• Intense pigmentation

Cons

• Waste pencil when sharpening
• The staying power is so so

Tips
Put the pencil on the fridge 15-20 minutes before you use it in order to harden the texture of the product and avoid the frangible situation.
