The perfect black eyeliner — it seems like such a simple thing, and yet a truly reliable pencil can be so elusive. The perfect one has to glide on smoothly, keep from smudging minutes after applying, and be intensely pigmented, so it can last you from your morning commute straight on through to after-work drinks.
When Urban Decay released their blockbuster set of 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils last year, we had our, well, eye on it for one of its limited-edition shades: the blacker-than-black, matte Perversion.
We’ve been a serious fan of the brand's bestselling Zero ever since its release – but it wasn’t quite smoldering enough for us. Perversion filled that obsidian hole in our makeup bag. We've worn our pencil down to a next-to-nothing nub, and were just lamenting our loss when we heard the excellent news: Perversion is now a permanent member of Urban Decay’s line-up! Not quite bold enough to embrace the midnight madness? The brand has also added Demolition, a matte cocoa, and Woodstock, a funky fuchsia, to the 24/7 family.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion, $19, available at Urban Decay.
