Urban Decay Goldmine & Lucky 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Goldmine
Urban Decay Goldmine 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (Eyeliner) ($21.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium gold with warm, yellow undertones and faint, gold micro-sparkle over a more metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque color payoff in a single stroke, which was buildable to mostly opaque coverage. The pencil had a waxier consistency, which meant that it glided on without skipping or dragging, but I found that it seemed like it was overly waxy and resulted in sheerer coverage. It wore well for eight hours on me.

Formula Overview
$22.00/0.04 oz. - $550.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to go on "smoothly, stay soft and super-creamy for blending" before it "dries to a long-lasting finish that won't budge" with "intense" coverage. I'm a long-time fan and user of the formula--almost a decade now--and they're still a go-to. I keep a handful of formulas at my fingertips, and I have all of the shades from this range in a cup within reach.
It isn't the longest-wearing formula I've come across, but I find that it balances longevity with creaminess in application and ease of removal at the end. They also wear away "kindly," so while the line might get thinner, it doesn't drag or bleed toward my under eye area. The formula has solid, long-wear at eight to 10 hours before fading, thinning, or having a bit of migration to the outer corner. The less shimmery shades tend to have the most visible movement, whereas the more shimmery shades tend to fade or thin.
The pigmentation varies a lot from shade to shade with more matte shades often having the most coverage in a single layer, followed by more metallic finishes. The more glittery the finish, the weaker the coverage and application were. Many of the shades in the range are buildable and apply with near-to or opaque coverage when applied in short, overlapping strokes. The majority are very comfortable to apply on the lower lash line or waterline.
They have a creamy, glide-on consistency as promised, and they can be smudged or blended out, so they are particularly useful for someone who likes a more diffused look for their eyeliner.
As someone who has had a lot of these eyeliners over time, I can attest to the fact that they do not dry out readily. Some of the shades I have that I don't use (because they're THAT old) are still creamy and glide-on when swatched.

Lucky
Urban Decay Lucky 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (Eyeliner) ($21.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a deep, reddish brown with warm undertones and a metallic sheen with slight micro-sparkle. It had opaque pigmentation in one layer, while the texture was creamy enough not to tug and glide across my lid. The eyeliner stayed on well for nine and a half hours on me before thinning slightly.

So, so, happy they brought back Lucky! It was always my favourite colour in the UD line. Is this a permanent addition? Hope so! Thanks, Christine.
UD listed the collection as LE!
I’ve gone to two Ultas in the last few days looking for the Lucky eyeliner; so far the collection hasn’t gotten to this area yet. I am on it, as this looks to be a good color for me, and the copper/medium brown color is really rare in eyeliners I’ve found.
Lucky is gorgeous??‼️I may have to order it.It will be my first Urban Decay purchase since the Heavy Metals Palette.They just haven’t had much that has really been reeling me in.
I love Lucky!
I’m feeling Lucky! (LOL, I had to!)
But seriously, I rarely fall hard for a brown eyeliner. This one looks so rich and reminds me of an old penny.
Lucky is gorgeous and seems to be the favorite. I don’t know if I could pull it off but I am going to try!! I can always smudge a darker brown between Lucky and my lash line.
#getlucky
I want these colors without the glitter! It ends up on my face, and I hate that.
So happy they brought back Lucky even if it’s LE. Ive been hoarding an original one for 3 or 4 years now.
