Urban Decay Naked 24/7 Eye Pencil Set

Urban Decay Naked 24/7 Eye Pencil Set

Urban Decay Naked 24/7 Eye Pencil Set ($32.00 for 5 x 0.03 oz.) includes five travel-sized eyeliners. It is a limited edition set, and it contains these shades: Zero (black), Demolition (matte darkest chocolate brown), Bourbon (brown with gold shimmer), Underground (shimmery taupe/brown), and Stray Dog (shimmery grey/brown). Each shade is 0.03 oz. and a full-sized version is 0.04 oz. and costs $18 a pop–so this kit has $67.50 worth of eyeliner for $32.

I’m a long-time fan of the 24/7 Eye Pencils, because they have just enough creaminess for easy gliding across the lash line but not so much that it results in smudging or running. It has a large color range, and they last quite awhile. When I’m doing a look, I often reach for this formula, because it wears all day for me.

Zero is dark black eyeliner–it’s not as intense as Perversion, but it’s not a gray-black either. It’s a soft black overall. This is a permanent shade.
Demolition is a dark brown with subtle amber warmth around the edges. This is a new and exclusive shade. Try CoverGirl Brown as a possible dupe.
Bourbon is a warm, medium-dark brown with subtle bronze shimmer. This is a permanent shade.
Underground is a taupe brown with a satin sheen. This is a permanent shade.
Stray Dog is a gray taupe with a satin sheen. This was available in the 15th Anniversary Set previously.

My Underground was a little wonky; there was this weird blackish streak that would keep appearing when I tried to swatch with it — I even had to “write” on paper to try and get rid of it. Not sure what was going on there; perhaps something didn’t get fully mixed. I love my full-sized Underground and use it all the time, but I couldn’t not mention that oddity.
