Review: Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in 'Perversion'

I recently picked up a new eyeliner and I decided to go with the seemingly universally loved Urban Decay 24/7 liner in the color 'Perversion.' This color is so well-liked by many because of its matte blacker than black finish. And ya...this guy is pretty black!

All liners come in their own little boxes so you know they haven't been tested or tampered with yet. You don't want to buy a liner that a whole bunch of people have already stuck in their eyes!!! Yuck. Infection, anyone? No thanks.

The liner is a matte black pencil with a black top (the only one of Urban Decay's liners to have a black rather than silver cap).  This liner is super creamy upon application and it glides on the skin.  It is so soft which is a good thing because it means the color pay off doesn't require a lot of rubbing or tugging on your sensitive eye area. However, the color being so soft means you have to sharpen this pencil quite frequently as the pencil wears down rather quickly. 

Here is the color swatched on my hand in comparison with Urban Decay's other black liner, Zero.  As you can see, there really is such a thing as 'blacker than black!'  While Zero is undeniably black, Perversion has a little extra pigment in it causing it to come off as completely matte.  

Here are my eyes with the Perversion lining them so you can see how dark this liner shows up. 

This liner costs $19 which is pretty steep for a simple black liner.  However, the fact that it is truly blacker than black and also has 24/7 staying power makes it worth the splurge in my opinion.  My eye area always smudges by the end of the day because of humidity, oil on my skin, or whatever I might go through through out the day, but this eyeliner stays put! That along with the softness when applying it to my delicate waterline make this eyeliner an A+ purchase.

What color of Urban Decay's eyeliners are your favorite?
