Think of that one moment when you stare at a photo, and your eyes jump to a single detail – that’s the same trick your lashes can use. With a single swipe of Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide‑On in Matte Black, you can make every blink feel like a runway walk.
The trick starts with a clean eyelid. Gently wipe away any old mascara or oils; a fresh canvas lets the eyeliner glide straight and true. If you want a more subtle effect, choose a shade just a shade lighter than your skin tone for the inner corner.
Apply the pencil at the base of your lashes, angling it slightly upward. The tighter line closer to the brow sends the eye’s focus toward the tip, giving the illusion of length. For a pop of drama, add a tiny dash of shimmer on the outer corner.
If you’re worried about smudging, finish with a single swipe of translucent setting powder. The product stays crisp for up to 12 hours, so you can trust it through a long day of meetings or a late‑night brunch.
The best part? You’re not adding volume – you’re creating a visual trick. No heavy mascaras, no clumpy extensions – just a sleek, professional look that feels effortless.
Ready to try? Grab the 24/7 Glide‑On from any major retailer for about ₹950. If you’re looking for a cruelty‑free alternative, try the NYX Professional Makeup Nano Eye Pencil in Matte Black – just ₹250, but with the same long‑lasting, smudge‑free performance.
Finish off with a quick eyelash curl and a light coat of your favorite mascara – if you even need it – for that extra lift. Your lashes will look longer, your eyes will pop, and you’ll feel like a pro without the extra hassle.
