Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil involves simple steps for setup, understanding its compatibility, and proper care to ensure its longevity.
Setup
- First Use: Your pencil is ready to use straight out of the package.
- Sharpening: This pencil is designed to be sharpened. Use a high-quality, cosmetic-grade sharpener that has two sizes (one for standard pencils, one for jumbo). A dull blade can chew up the pencil. For best results, occasionally clean your sharpener and replace its blade when it gets dull. If the pencil material seems too soft for sharpening, try placing it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before sharpening.

Compatibility
- Makeup Products: This eye pencil is highly compatible with other makeup products. It layers well over eye primers, under powder eyeshadows, and alongside mascaras. Its waterproof nature means it won't run into other products.
- Skin Types: Formulated with Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil, it is generally suitable for various skin types. However, as with any cosmetic product, if you have particularly sensitive skin or eyes, it's advisable to perform a patch test on a small area first.
- Contact Lenses: The formula is typically well-tolerated by contact lens wearers, but individual sensitivities vary.
Care
- Storage: Store your eye pencil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent the formula from hardening or melting.
- Recap Tightly: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain its smooth, creamy texture.
- Cleaning: Keep the tip clean by sharpening regularly. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals directly on the pencil itself.
- Removal: To effectively remove the waterproof and long-wearing formula, use an oil-based makeup remover or a bi-phase cleanser. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press gently onto the eyelid for a few seconds to dissolve the product, then wipe away. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
