Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliners: Goldmine, Freak, Junkie, Deep End, LSD Reviews, Photos, Swatches

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils ($19.00 for 0.04 oz.) now include these four shades in the permanent range: Goldmine (gold shimmer with gold micro-sparkle), Freak (bright green shimmer), Junkie (metallic team shimmer with gold micro-sparkle), Deep End (bright metallic peacock shimmer), and LSD (navy shimmer with bright turquoise micro-sparkle). Out of these five, Goldmine and Freak are entirely new, while the other shades have been released in exclusive sets/kits.

Goldmine is a medium gold with moderate orange undertones and a soft sheen and light sprinkling of darker gold sparkle. It had good pigmentation in a single pass and layered to mostly opaque color. Make Up For Ever #9L is slightly lighter. Urban Decay Eldorado is darker, more orange-toned. Urban Decay Honey is much darker, more molten, and browner. It’s closer to Eldorado than it is to Honey, but those who love both will easily see the difference.

Freak is a light-medium green with a subtle golden sheen and an almost cool-toned base color. It had so-so color in a single pass, and it didn’t quite build up to fully opaque color. Urban Decay Graffiti is much darker and cooler-toned. I couldn’t think of a shade that was really similar to this.

Junkie is a bluish-teal with teal and gold sparkle. It has so-so pigmentation in a single stroke, but it is more buildable. MAC Undercurrent is darker, more green-based. MAC Blue Noon is brighter.

Deep End is a brightened blue-teal with a pearly sheen. It had decent color payoff in one stroke, but it is best layered as it builds up to mostly opaque color. MAC Float on By is darker but similar. Urban Decay Electric is brighter and bluer (as are Make Up For Ever #7L and Tarina Tarantino Kanzashi). Milani Aqua is a touch darker. Urban Decay Flipside is slightly more subdued but similar.

LSD is a blackened navy blue base with a ton of lighter blue sparkle and shimmer. It is a weaker shade in a single pass, but it builds up well. MAC Fly-by-Blu is similar.

Some excellent reading: Gold Eyeliner Comparisons, Green Eyeliner Comparisons, Navy Blue Eyeliner Comparisons, Blue Eyeliner Comparisons, Teal Eyeliner Comparisons.

Goldmine and Freak were the first two shades I tested for wear after swatching them; I wore one on each eye and on the lower lash line.  Both shades lasted for eight hours well without smudging though there was slight fading.  I typically get between eight and ten hours of wear with Urban Decay’s eyeliners with little to no fading and definitely no smudging/migration.  They have a slightly creamy, slightly waxy consistency that enables easy glide across the lid and lash line (no tugging or pulling) but usually requires two or three passes of the liner to achieve full color coverage.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities!

You’re up early Christine! It’s 7:30 on the eastern seaboard (in Brooklyn to be exact). Is this what you do for us every day?! I have even more respect for you than I did before, and I didn’t think that was possible.

I know, Gabby! It broke my heart when they discontinued Baked. I bought as many up as I could, but my supply is rapidly dwindling. I am DREADING the day I go through my last Baked eyeliner.

Loving Junkie and also LSD but Deep End, which I thought would be beautiful, was a bit “nothing special” when I saw the swatches. Just shows how deceiving a pencil can be when you look at it vs swatch the product.

I think I would have liked it alot more as an eyeshadow instead. Maybe had them perfect graffiti ( I liked the color but it was always patchy/ not quite what I want in a green)

Shea Avatar

Really sad that graffiti was discontinued. The new light green does not compare at all. Once they discontinued the eyeshadow I thought “oh well, at least I can get the eyeliner.” Not anymore!

Christine- I know you are big fan of teals. Did any of the new UD pencils remind you of MAC’s Powerpoint eye pencil in Tealo? That was my holy grail eye pencil and I haven’t found anything close, but a few of the swatches above looked promising…

Did they change Junkie? I have Junkie from one of the mini collections and MAC’s Undercurrent; my version are basically identical but your swatch picture looks way more blue.

I also have Junkie in travel size from a collection and Mac’s Undercurrent…I put them on my hand in 3 places next to each other and I cannot tell a difference between the 2 colors in any lighting.
