I literally never wear eyeliner, let alone bright purple eyeliner. Add a graphic design into the mix, and I’m simply as far away from my comfort zone as humanly possible. So you could say I was pleasantly surprised by my full-blown obsession with this look I created using the Urban Decay Wired 24/7 Liner in Shock. The pencil was crazy creamy and almost felt like I was using a crayon. Plus, it dried down instantly, and the color made my eyes pop in a way that a black liner could never. While this look is for sure extra AF and different than my everyday beat, it’s really upped the ante on my makeup game.

Bold blue eyeliner is out of my comfort zone — the most I’ll do is a little pop on the lower lash line and then call it a day. That’s why I was a bit apprehensive when it came to using just the Wired 24/7 Liner in Vivid all over my lash line and lid. The first thing I noticed about this pencil was that even though it was neon-level bright, it actually complemented my olive skin rather well. I was also really pleased with the consistency and pigmentation of it. Like the other 24/7 liners, Vivid was creamy, easy to draw crisply (or blend out) and was as long lasting as its name suggests. After receiving endless compliments from my coworkers (thanks, guys!), I think I’ll try it again!

I rarely wear eyeliner and when I do, it’s a standard black wing. So, it’s safe to say this neon graphic eyeliner look was a big step for me. The Wired 24/7 Liners glide on smooth and easy so you don’t have to worry about the pigment skipping or looking uneven. While bright pink isn’t exactly a neutral, I was shocked by how wearable the color was and received so many compliments on it that I didn’t want to take it off.

I’m not a person who normally wears bold eyeliner, so I was a little nervous about wearing this color at first. After seeing the final look, though, I was actually kind of in love with it. I loved how smoothly the liner went onto my lid, and I thought the bright green turned out to be a really good choice for my skin tone. I’d definitely wear it again.
