My favourite eyeliner pencils

I have a lot of eyeliners. I love them. In fact, I can't be seen without one. Eyeliner and mascara are my two absolute essentials, because my eyes have no definition without them. My eyelashes are short, thin and sort of mousy colour, so without mascara and eyeliner they just don't look right. Also, eyeliners are lots of fun. As much as I like black eyeliners, there are so many gorgeous colours out there, I can always find one to match my mood and my eye make up.

My eyeliner pencils

As you can see, I have quite a collection of eyeliners. My absolute favourite ones are Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencils, they are just so smooth, but they don't smudge, stay on all day and come in every colour of the rainbow (except for red actually). I also like Mac Pearlglide Intense eyeliners and when it comes to cheaper brands, Gosh and L'Oreal are my other favourites. So it wasn't too easy to pick my absolute favourites for this post, but actually despite owning this many eyeliners I tend to reach for a very few of them most often, so I went for those.

See which eyeliners I choose after the jump!

And here they are:

Urban Decay 24/7 Zero, Ransom, Rockstar, Lust, Corrupt, Flipside, Binge, Mac Pearlglide Intense Designer Purple, Undercurrent

I love these all very very much, but the ones I reach for the most often are Zero (black) and Rockstar (eggplant). I find Rockstar to be such a great colour as it's dark enough to properly frame my eyes, but it's softer than black and not quite as boring as brown. It goes with pink, purple, brown, nude looks, pretty much everything really. I also love the Mac Pearlglide Intense eyeliners, but those are very glittery, so I must keep them off my waterline. I also have 3 more, but these two shades are my absolute favourites.

Now here are some swatches, the first one with flash, the second one without in natural daylight:

Urban Decay 24/7 Zero, Ransom, Rockstar, Lust, Corrupt, Flipside, Binge, Mac Pearlglide Intense Designer Purple, Undercurrent

Urban Decay 24/7 Zero, Ransom, Rockstar, Lust, Corrupt, Flipside, Binge, Mac Pearlglide Intense Designer Purple, Undercurrent

And as you can see, some of these are so well loved, I've very nearly run out (although none of these were actually full size), Rockstar is so tiny, I can barely hold it. But fear not, I have back ups!

You can see how much I have used some of these
