The new metropolitan Decay Black Magic 24/7 Glide-On Double-Ended Eye Pencil set ($39)
Of the numerous important lessons I’ve discovered viewing game of Thrones, including 1) that dragons can’t truly be tamed, 2) always bring a weapon to a wedding, as well as 3) stay away from locations called King’s Landing, the most important lesson by far has been this: just state no to blood magic.
Because it never turns out right! I just believe as a general policy, it’s smart to prevent it.

Thanks for the sage advice, George R.R. Martin.
While we’re at it, it’s most likely likewise a great concept to prevent black magic. I mean, I may have been expelled from Hogwarts after one semester (my parents were so bummed!), however even I understand that.
Beside a MAC Lipglass for scale…
Of course, black magic as it relates to makeup? — that’s a different story. By all means, feel totally free to enable metropolitan Decay’s new pigmented, silky smooth Black Magic 24/7 Glide-On Double-Ended Eye Pencil set ($39) to cast its spell on yo’ lash lines.

This captivating set includes four dual-ended pencil liners. Each one includes one of UD’s signature black liners (black cream Zero, smokey black Black Velvet, charcoal satiny black Black Market or blackest black matte Perversion) on one end as well as a different intense, vibrant shade (deep brown matte Demolition, deep gray matte Smoke, dark eggplant twister or bright turquoise LSD) on the other.
This time, there are no new shades up in the mix. Zero, Black Velvet, Perversion, Demolition, Smoke as well as LSD are re-promotes from the long-term line, while Black Market as well as twister are re-promotes that previously appeared in other sets.
Swatches from the left: Zero, Black Velvet, Black Market as well as Perversion

Even lacking new colors, I still believe this set is quite neat. Being dual-ended provides these pencils a small edge over the ones in the new ten set.
Unfortunately, the pencils themselves are small — 0.01 ounces each — which is even smaller than the 0.03-oz. minis in the ten set.
How little is that?
Well, if I were required to utilize these small liners by themselves as well as they weren’t dual-ended, as well as were just private pencils, I’m quite sure they’d be uncomfortable to hold as well as practically impossible to use, particularly after sharpening them a few times.
UD, by slapping pairs of pencils together into these duos, made them simpler to manage (feels like you’re holding a full-size pencil).
Next to a MAC Lipglass for scale…
I’ve been using the 24/7 Glide-Ons for years, as well as they’re still staples for me, however I’ve been noticing that lately when I wear these liners on my upper lash lines, they seem to transfer up into my crease much more easily than the Glide-Ons I’ve used in the past.
Is it me or the pencils? I dunno.
Far as I know, they utilize the exact same Glide-On formula. I assumption it might my altering skin (it’s very moody these days, going from dry someday to oily the next), however I mention it just in case. Food for thought.
