Oh Urban Decay, how I adore your eye makeup. Urban Decay Liquid Liner is a fantastic liquid eyeliner with intense color and metallic shimmer, bringing an unexpected "pop" to your eyes. The long handle and thin paint brush applicator make application easy. I grab the handle and give it a good shake before using, just to make sure the brush has a ton of product on it. The liner (and all the shimmery lovely goodness) stays in place, too. It comes in 13 colors that complement their eyeshadows.
Ecstasy is a beautifully bright and vibrant purple, perfect for attention-grabbing, party-lovin' makeup fun.

Roach is a deep copper with just a hint of metallic, perfect for subtly dressing up neutrals and adding a bit of interest to a traditionally plainer color.

Cost: $18 is a good price for the quality product you get. Believe me, it lasts a long time!
Color: The colors are bright, intense, metallic, and shimmery--those are some awesome adjectives there. And, if you're not into shimmer, they also have a normal black.
Application: I'm a big fan of the paint brush-like feel of the handle. The liner is thick so you don't need a precise hand to get it right.
Repeat offender: Urban Decay is pretty much always a repeat offender. I really want to get Oil Slick, shimmery black, or Shattered, metallic teal. If I run out of these I'd probably get more, but I've had them for a while and they're still pretty full!

Both look great--the brown would be a lot more useful for everyday--though the name? Blech. Do you find that it doesn't smudge much/at all/a lot?
ReplyDeleteHow would you say this compares to the Clinique liquid liner in a pot you reviewed a while back? I was considering getting that product, but if this one comes with its own little brush, I might be swayed.
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteIt really doesn't smudge unless you rub your eyes or anywhere near water--it's not waterproof at all. It stays clean under normal circumstances, although it might start to flake at the very end of the day. I think the primer might help with that.
In comparison to the Clinique creme eyeliner: I'd say that the Clinique stuff is a softer look--the line itself is less sharp, which has to do with the nature of the cream vs. liquid. It's still dramatic, but it's more like a deep shadow, less like an inky line (as the Urban Decay liquid eyeliner is). Also, the Clinique eyeliner is waterproof--much more staying power. And I don't know if this is due to my inability, but I found it hard to do the Urban Decay liquid liner underneath my eyes (it got all over my lower lashes).
So, they're a little different. I'd say that this one is probably easier to apply, and comes in awesome fun colors, but won't last in all situations. The Clinique one is a little more difficult but is easier for me for the lower lashes, and is waterproof.
Hope this helps!
