Depending on how you look at it I’m the best or the worst person to test a new product for waterlining the eyes. Allergies and all around bad luck make it so my eyes are incredibly watery – making it so most products tend do disappear from my waterline almost instantly. A select few last several hours but even less make it more than 2-3. When the Urban Decay 24/7 Waterline Eye Pencil ($20.00 // Sephora) popped up my excitement went through the roof.
Even the regular Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils disappear from my waterline area in a few hours (though thankfully don’t migrate down my face). I still do it, and just touch up. So, are the Urban Decay 24/7 Waterline Eye Pencils any better? I was surely hoping so… Because I’m a waterliner it drives me NUTS when I see eyeliner below the waterline. 9 times out of 10 that person has applied it way too low and it’s borderline Annabelle (that creepy doll…though if you look at pics even she waterlines… but it just makes me think of her bahaha).
Five shades, each with a demi-matte finish, are available in Push (navy), Mood (charcoal), Legend (black), Street (green) and Rail (brown).
Formula wise Rail and Street felt very dry to me when swatched. The other three were incredibly smooth. On the eye they all applied the same way with incredible pigment and ease (which is what really matters.. who wants a scratchy feeling on their eye?!). Wear time was a little better than the 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils and I did experience less fading/disappearance. I didn’t feel like these were the best waterliners I’ve ever used in terms of staying power, but if you don’t experience eyes as watery as mine you may find that they last quite awhile. When the color did begin to fade I did not experience any color migration down my face.
What eyeliners do you use to waterline with?
Each Urban Decay 24/7 Waterline Eye Pencil retails for $20.00 and is available at Sephora, ULTA Beauty, Nordstrom, Macy’s and urbandecay.com.

I like to use white on the waterline. I’m fair and it brightens my eyes. I have the new Clinique skinny in the matte white. I like MAC Kohl pencil in Fascinating too.
Mercedes says
I rarely line my eyes because the left one waters a ton. Maybe I’ll pick up one of these with a sale and see how it works for me.

Wear time better than 24/7? I’m intrigued. I’m a contact lens wearer and I line my waterline. I once had a co-worker who wore her eyeliner like a football player. Nicest, sweetest lady though. Just bad makeup choices.
Brooke says
Girl YES. I have some family that does it and I’ve tried the OHHH let me do your makeup some day I think you’d love to experiment with new colors. Still, no one gets it. On the other hand I’m like “whatever you’re confident with, rock it”. My OCD is all “STAHHHHP” lol

I use liners on my waterline but have to be particular with them because while I don’t use contacts daily, I do use them a few times a week and my eyes can get so irritated with the wrong liner. I’ll check these out.

About time someone came out with waterline-specific pencils! I can’t wait to try these – normally, most liners don’t stay on my waterline.

So this is my little story….I’ve had a runny eye since I moved almost a year ago. Last week, I was using a liquid liner that wasn’t waterproof, and I thought I was done with my makeup and saw on the one side, the liner ran into every line, nook and cranny I had. I should have took pics and said it was for Halloween, lol. So I decided to go purchase these liners, and I mean right away!! Boom!

It blows my mind that all liquid liners aren’t waterproof or at least water-resistant. What’s the point?! ugh.
Phyrra says
I find it hard to get stuff to last on my waterline too.

Yes yes yes yes I can imagine how gorgeous Street would look as a pop of color in the waterline!

I wear contacts so I wonder if this migrates because some eyeliners I tried clouded my vision

I wear contacts too! My vision didn’t get cloudy and I didn’t have migration. One liner that does do that is the MAC Pearlglide formula, but then those aren’t formulated for waterlining lol But I get what you mean by cloudy it’s the WORST.
MarciaF says
I pretty much stopped waterlining because it makes my small eyes look even smaller. I think it’s interesting that UD came out with pencils specifically for this use though.

You must have read my mind. I was just wondering about these. No liners last on my waterline so I was excited when I saw these. But if they’re not significantly longer lasting than the regular UD 24/7 liners of which I have a nice collection, I don’t need to spend more money.

Not significant enough, but if you’re in need of a shade replenish and there’s one similar in this line they are a tad better =D
Erika says
I use whatever… And carry it with me so that I can touch up, if need be. I wore serious liner in the 80’s. Today’s liners are a piece of cake! lol

So what *are* the longest-lasting eyeliners you’ve used in your waterline? I have never found a pencil I can waterline with that doesn’t end up in a pool of greasy “eyeliner poop” on the outer corner of my eye.
Brooke says
I’ve had excellent luck with the Clinique Skinny Sticks as well as the Marc Jacobs Gel Crayon!
Erin says
I’m really liking Mood. It seems like the perfect option for daytime.
