Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Liner Review, Photos, Swatches
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
Urban Decay 24/7 Super Stash ($36.00) is just one of three different sets of 24/7 Eye Pencils available for the holiday season. If I had to pick one, I’d opt for the Super Stash, if only because you can grab the four new shades all at once. In the Super Stash, you’ll receive nine half-sized 24/7 Eye Pencils (the full-size is 0.04 oz. and these are 0.02 oz. each). The Hi-Fi and Stereophonic sets include 24/7 Eye Pencils as well, and each is 0.03 oz., so they’re just a little smaller, but not by much, than the full-sized versions. Most of us will never get through a full-sized blue eye liner, so these sets are a great way to grab lovely colored liners without buying more than you’ll use.
Rather than just review the Super Stash, I’m actually going to review all of the 24/7 Eye Pencils I own. Apparently, I’ve finally collected them all except Baked, Crash (in the Stereophonic set), and Mildew (in the Hi-Fi set), which I suppose now I’m compelled to get just to round everything out. (Does anyone else feel that way… the need to complete when you’re nearly there anyway?)
- 24/7 Super Stash includes: Corrupt, Binge, Eldorado, Oil Slick, Zero, Graffiti, Ransom, Rockstar, and Stash and retails for $36.00.
- Hi-Fi includes: Mildew, Zero, Flipside, 1999 24/7 Eye Pencils, as well as Distortion Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner.
- Stereophonic includes: Crash, Zero, Underground, Gunmetal, as well as Midnight Cowboy Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner.
Why 24/7 Liners? They’re pigmented, soft pencil liners that are easy to use, look great, and last awhile. I use these on my lower lash line all the time, because they add a lil’ pop of color, but they don’t migrate all over the place throughout the day. They’re fairly budge-proof (at least, on me), and they are so easy to apply, because they’re soft.
24/7 Super Stash Eye Pencils
- Corrupt is a rich dark brown with warm undertones.
- Graffiti is a medium pop of bright green with just a tinge of teal in the base (it’s a bluer green vs. yellower green).
- Binge is a rich navy blue with a slight cobalt kind of look to it with a soft sheen.
- Eldorado is a brighter pop of yellow-based gold–it’s more of a true gold compared to Honey.
- Zero is a black liner–it’s not the richest or most intense black I’ve seen, but it’s pretty dark and definitely not a light black. It doesn’t have any shimmer or sheen.
- Oil Slick is a silver-speckled light black. The black base is just a smidgen lighter than Zero, but it has silver glitter/sparkle that lighten it up further.Graffiti
- Ransom is a iridescent purple with a slight reddish purple undertone.Stash is a greenish-gold–like an antique gold with a green tone.
- Rockstar is a dark burgundy-purple with a red undertone and slight reddish sheen.
24/7 Eye Pencils
- Yeyo is a silvery-white — it’s not 100% white on me, there is a little bit of silver sheen to it, but it’s close. It’s just not a stark white (which may or may not be what you’re looking for).
- Gunmetal is a gunmetal silver-gray. It’s a gray-black bas with a silver sheen.
- Dime is a bright silver-gray with a high metallic sheen.
- Bourbon is a medium dark chocolate brown with a slight sheen.
- Underground is a cooler, medium taupe brown with a metallic sheen.
- 1999 is a red-berry purple with a slight metallic sheen.
- Lust is a cool-toned dark violet purple with low sheen.
- Covet is a rich, jewel-tone teal with a slight shimmery finish.
- Flipside is a medium pop of bright teal with silvery-teal shimmer.
- Deviant is bright pop of medium dark blue with silver sparkle.
- Electric is an intense, bright blue-based turquoise. It’s lighter and brighter than Flipside.
- Honey is a deep gold with just a bit of brownish tinge to it. It does really remind me of honey.
- Lucky is a coppery orange-brown with a metallic sheen.
The majority of the shades available are also available in full-size, which go for $17 a pop and you get 0.04 oz. of product in each. The only thing I didn’t like about the Super Stash liners is that they do feel a little “stumpy” in your hand, because they are so short.
- Product: 29/30
- Value: 9/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 5/5
Availability: Urban Decay

you forgot to give a written description of what Stash looks like, the 24/7 eye liner, that's the one that i want too :(
They just came out with a full size of ALL OF THEM! I want it so bad!
So sad they don't sell UD in my country :'( Like your reviews and website! All the best for you girl!! Greetz from the Netherlands
I adore the Urban Decay 24/7 liners. The colors are pretty, they don't tug on my eyelids, they're easy to sharpen, the color stays put. I love them!
Christine, I have deep brown eyes and dark hair and I really want to try a metallic darkish burgundy liner. i have sorcery from mac which i like but i want something quicker like a pencil. where do you think i can get one?? do you think I should get it at all?
Try Rockstar!
How well do these hold up on the water line Christine??
I get about 3-4 hours!
I live in the UK and bought the eyeliner in zero today...its amazing! I'd heard nothing but good reviews about it so I decided to splash out and buy it for £11. Glad I did though, I love it. Does it need a special sharpener- I have an ordinary eye pencil sharpener, is that ok?
I use UD's Grindhouse, and I love it for all my liners. I guess since I've had that for as long as my UD pencils, I don't really know if it needs a special one or not!
Whats the best way to sharpen these? I seriously don't know what to do and I've wasted so much products :( HELP!!
I use UD's Grindhouse.
These are the best.I have loved them since they came out, the only one I never liked that I purchased was Lust.I just swatched El Dorado and Binge and Ulta the other day, so beautiful! I missed the mini sets, so it is great for those that missed it you can purchase the full sizes.
Thanks for the swatches! They look beautiful! Which ones are your favs? And do you prefer flipside or graffiti? I can't decide! Lol
LOL! I like them all! Stash is probably my favorite...
I know this post is a few months old, but I am so grateful to you for having put up a comprehensive swatch list of these liners. Honestly. I've been trying to decide which ones to get during UD's F&F sale, and you have made my life SO. MUCH. EASIER. I hope you get paid for this. I may not be able to do that, but I would love to send you an e-hug.
Aww, e-hugs are good :) Thanks, Christina!
Is Honey discontinued? I can't find it on UD or Sephora's website?
It shouldn't be...
Me too-I couldn't find it anywhere...WTH??
Hey Mona, I emailed Urban Decay and they responded that El Dorado replaced the now discontinued Honey : (
If anyone has a brand new in a box eyeliner in Honey, I'll take it!!
Thanks a lot for the review Christina. There is one thing more that I like with those products: they have the same name than the eyeshadows that have the same colors. So it is really convenient and you cannot get lost. I love UD, but those products are only available in some Sephora in France.
That's true :) UD does make it easy like that!
Before buying the set, I only had Electric from my Sephora Splashstash set, and being a conservative in the world of make-up, I didn’t know how to use Electric on a more regular basis, so I never used it! I’m grateful that they put these minis in a set so I can find the colors I like, but I don’t know how to use Eldorado and Graffiti. Christine (or anyone), any ideas? (Keep in mind, I’m a conservative, but I’m willing to try a funkier look; oddly enough, my favs are Rockstar and Binge – these colors give a pop to my dark brown eyes.) Thanks in advance! ;D
So glad you grabbed the minis, Gracie! :) I love, love El Dorado on the lower lash line when using greens, golds, or browns. Graffiti is nice with other teals and blues!
when you do the math you get 4 and 1/2 pencils for $36 from the super stash and normally you get 2 for $34. this is a great bargain because you get more colors too. who finishes off green liner in under a year anyway? the super stash is a great deal. i am definitely buying.
It is a good deal :)
I totally get the need to complete the set when you are almost there! It may be wrong but it feels so right. :D
Haha!! So glad I am not alone!
I couldn't love these pencils more than if they were blessed by the Pope himself. 24/7's are the ones I reach for daily over my MAC pencils. The must have color for green eyes is RockStar. It makes my eyes pop. This set is going in my travel bag. Total Holy Grail!
Aww!! So glad you're loving these, too!
I think I might actually get the hi-fi set... I think that glitter liner would look great over the 24/7 colors it comes with! + I love the Mildew eyeshadow so I bet the liner is amazing too! Right now I have full sized Zero, Bourbon, Lust, Covet, & Deviant
The glitter liners are excellent over the liners!
I love this set! I can see myself using these colors more.
Awesome, Bridgette!
it's all about corrupt and binge!!!!!!
Haha!
I've been dying for a UD 24/7 eyeliner forever! I think I just might have to pick this set up, it's too perfect! :D
Get 'em!!
Finally, a swatch comparison of Honey and El Dorado~! But.. must.. exercise.. self.. restraint...
LOL!
This is going on my Christmas list, these look marvelous :D
Awesome! Hope someone gives it to ya!
Heheh, yes I am often finding myself wanting to 'complete' a line if I'm almost there. I did that with Color Craft. I was thinking, yea I might as well get those 2 extra mineralized blushes since I bought the other 4. ;) I don't have any 24/7 liners yet. I know, how is that possible??? I'm patiently awaiting for my Sephora to get these in, but I may end up ordering it online.
At least I am not alone, LOL!
I'm miffed that I can't get Corrupt as a single. I wouldn't spring for the set - I work in a pretty conservative field and would never get the use out of most of the colors to justify owning them - but I'm a sucker for anything dark brown and shimmery.
Same here, Beck! I'm hoping they'll put 'em out in full size in the spring.
Yep, since I missed out on the sets last year I will definetly be getting Super Stash!
I hope you grab it this year!
