comparison review: urban decay perversion vs. jordana black point

today, i bring you a comparison of urban decay 24/7 glide-on eye pencil in perversion and jordana 12-hr made to last liquid [pencil] liner in black point. last month, i hauled this and did a photo-comparison of these two liners. there's a definite price difference between these liners ($2.50 & $19) and i wanted to see if they were good substitutes.

i normally only use dark liners on my lower lash line and not my waterline, as i did here. i have not tried these liners to line my upper lid.  i took the following photos 5 minutes, 7 hours, and 14 hours after application..but, realistically, who doesn't touch up throughout the day?

this was a normal day, me rubbing at my eyes as i normally do. i did not touch up or wipe off the raccoon-y for the photos. sorry for the inconsistent lighting between each shot.

my right (the left): perversion, my left (the right): black point

what i found:

• application: both pencils have about the same texture and creaminess, i didn't think that either one applied any smoother or creamier than the other.
• color: i think that they are the exact same color, very dark black and nicely pigmented -- upon application; but they fade at different rates so black point might be patchy while perversion is still semi-solid.
• longevity: after a few hours, both started to raccoon and fade a bit beneath my eyes. realistically, i would have touched up (if i could) at that point anyway.

the verdict:
i feel like, if you don't mind touching up a bit throughout the day, get the jordana one. i mean, $2.50 is so cheap. i generally carry around q-tips with me anyway, so bringing the liner along wouldn't be a big deal to me. with perversion, you'll still need to touch up, but not quite as often as you would need to with black point.

other products i used on this day can be found in this fotd post. ~Lin-chan ^.~
