This Smudge-Proof Eye-Liner 'Glides On, Even Over My Wrinkled Eyelids' — And It's Still At Its Prime Day Price
Last week, Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On waterproof eyeliner pencil was a Prime Day smash with HuffPost readers. Made with Vitamin E and jojoba oil, it applies " smooth as butter ," even over mature and textured skin, before drying into a smudge-proof liner that will last all day. Reviewers in their 60s and 70s love the stick for being " very soft on old eyelids," gliding over wrinkles without " overemphasizing " or bleeding into fine lines. While it's typically a luxury product, it's still on sale with its Prime Day 40% off discount, at Amazon and Ulta, making it closer to a drugstore buy than the luxury eyeliner it truly is.
A modern take on a classic favorite, this blendable stick comes intons of colors and can be used in oh , so many ways...
Don't be fooled by its straightforward packaging; this eyeliner pencil is versatile . You can find it in dozens of colors, from neutrals to neons, and apply it as a traditional eyeliner, a cream liner or even an eyeshadow. The huge color selection is ideal for creative looks and everyday glam alike, offering hues for all sorts of tones and tastes.
"I use the smoke gray because the black is too dark for my 65+ years," shopper Sharon wrote. "Bourbon is a stunning deep brown with subtle warm undertones," another said. "Softer and more versatile than black but still bold enough to define your eyes." Many love the shade Rockstar , a dark matte purple, for adding "depth without looking harsh."
Shoppers celebrate how creamy the formula is, giving superior pigmentation and staying power without feeling chalky or dry.
The formula is designed to go on smoothly, giving you time to blend and adjust as needed. But, "once it sets, it stays put," Cris writes, not fading or transferring through the day. "It truly glides on...no tugging, no skipping, no fighting with a dry pencil that gives up halfway through your lash line," they added. "The texture feels more like a beautiful gel in pencil form, and the color payoff is rich and deep from the first swipe...If you're tired of eyeliners that dry out, drag, or crumble, this one is such a relief to use."
"Gorgeousss, slides perfectly and doesn't smudge easily," Maya wrote. "I have so many black eyeliners, and I'm really picky, this one is one of my favs."
And it's LOVED by reviewers with mature skin.
Another selling point for this 40% off stick — it's a dream to use over wrinkles or texture. A 60-year-old reviewer calls it "the Goldilocks of eye pencils," for how easily it applies to so many skin types.
"I've tried so many different eyeliners suggested for mature eyes & this one so far has been the best," shopper Vickie said. "It goes on fairly smooth considering I'm 75 & the skin on my eyelids isn't smooth."
Others agree the product " goes smoothly over my wrinkle lines," "lasts well without smearing ," and "was easy to put on under glasses ." "Pushing 60 and this works great on old tired skin," Donna wrote. "This liner is so soft and smooth on my eyelids," another 68-year-old reviewer said . "I wish that I had found this years ago! I love the color!!"
Reviewers love this hydrating eyeliner pencil for gliding on with ease and staying on all day. Read more 5-star Amazon reviews and grab one for its Prime Day price of 40% off.

"I've used [the shade] Rockstar for years and turned other green eyed people on to it. It stays on, isn't too harsh on my 60 year old eyelids or anyone else's and is the Goldilocks of eye pencils.

"An Eyeliner That Acts Like a Gel, Not Chalk. This eyeliner is exactly what I've been missing. It truly glides on...no tugging, no skipping, no fighting with a dry pencil that gives up halfway through your lash line.The texture feels more like a beautiful gel in pencil form, and the color payoff is rich and deep from the first swipe. The shade Rockstar is a gorgeous dark purple that adds depth without looking harsh, and it applies smoothly and evenly every time. If you're tired of eyeliners that dry out, drag, or crumble, this one is such a relief to use.Once it sets, it stays put.You have just enough time to smudge if you want a softer look, but after that it locks in and lasts all day without transferring or fading. It's comfortable to wear and doesn't feel dry on the lash line, which I really appreciate. It's creamy, intensely pigmented, and easy to apply — a perfect option if you want long-wearing color without the chalky struggle." — Cris Hidalgo
"I've tried so many different eyeliners suggested for mature eyes & this one so far has been the best.It goes on fairly smooth considering I'm 75 & the skin on my eyelids isn't smooth.Overall I like it very much.
Update: After using it for this month, yes, I'm loving it still. Had a problem figuring out how to sharpen it but found the NYX sharpener works great.Much less expensive than the one from Urban Decay , which, by the way, isn't available on Amazon. Wonder why not?" — Vickie

"I have been wearing eyeliner since I was a teenager and I can say with 100% confidence that this is by far the best eyeliner I have ever used. I'm a pencil girl so I can't speak much about liquid. But this goes on really nice and doesn't pull or tear at my aging skin. It lasts all day under normal conditions and has stayed on for hours in the water.

Promising review: " I'm old and have crepey skin everywhere including around my eyes. I needed a soft pencilas powder shadows were irritating my eyes. This pencil does the trick. It's not smudge proof or water resistant, but I don't care about that." — M
"I originally purchased at Target/Walmart but found a better deal here on Amazon. I wear department store cosmetics, but none of the pencil liners compare to this one - this one really stays and does not smudge. I've recommended it to many of my friends who ask how my liner stays on so nicely. It's easy to apply, and comes off easily with my face wash, but you don't get creases and it doesn't bleed into crows feet. Hope they never stop making this because I tried all the expensive and drug store pencils. Goes on like liner, but is a pencil with a smudger on one end." — GOLDEN GIRL
