Urban Decay Retrograde Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Review

Using only black eye liner or kohl can get monotonous and a bit boring over a period of time. To jazz up the entire look, some color is definitely needed. This I realized after using only a black liner on my eye lids for at least a decade. Now, I feel I have lost so much of my precious time with just using plain black. Blue, green, purple, brown; these are my personal favourite colors when it comes to eyeliners. Today I am going to share my views on Urban Decay Retrograde Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

Package: This liner comes in a circular tube which has an amazing applicator. The applicator brush that comes along with the package tube is worth storing after you have finished using the tube or if it expires. The brush allows you to draw such crisp lines. You can draw beautiful cat eyeliner making sharp pointed ends which will make anyone envy your skills of drawing lines.

Shade: Urban Decay Retrograde from the 24/7 Waterproof Eyeliner range is a beautiful purple color with some tiny amount of black hue blended in it. At first sight of the swatch, anyone would want to buy this shade.

Even if you are still stuck with your good old black eyeliner, you can easily begin with the color of Retrograde without feeling conscious.

Texture: There are shimmers in the eyeliner which does not make any mess around the eyes. The texture of the liner is good which makes the application easier. It is indeed waterproof, since it does not get smudged even of you splash water on your face. It does not bleed any color either.

So, Urban Decay Waterproof retrograde Liquid Eyeliner is a perfect one if you are looking for long staying shimmery colored eyeliner. The range has beautiful bright shades which are equally attractive. Every beauty/makeup product comes with at least minimal drawback. When a product becomes your most favourite one, any drawback it has becomes negligent and is not taken into account at all.

Staying Power: This eyeliner tends to break if you rub your eyes. The breaking is such that some portion of the liner might vanish away spreading the shimmers across. This will happen if you forget that you have applied eyeliner and rub your eyes vigorously.

Another major point to note for all Urban Decay Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner users is that, every time before using the eyeliner, shake it very well. Else, you will end up picking up watery substance in the applicator which does not look great on the eyes at all.

If you neglect these two drawbacks, Urban Decay Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Retrograde is the best available long staying purple eyeliner.

Overall Thoughts

Availability of Urban Decay makeup products in India is not really easy. If you catch hold of your friends/relatives coming from overseas, you are lucky to own Urban Decay products. For shimmery purple shaded non messy non bleeding eyeliner, Urban Decay Retrograde Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner is the one you should buy.

Rating: 4/5
