Ultimate Ozone Multipurpose Primer Pencil

Urban Decay Ultimate Ozone Multipurpose Primer Pencil is a clear, creamy pencil in a chunky barrel that does several small jobs well. It stops lipstick bleeding past the lip line, tidies up makeup mistakes, softens the look of fine lines and sits invisibly under colour. Urban Decay built it as the thick-barrelled sibling of its slim Ozone 24/7 lip pencil.

What it actually does

• Stops lip colour from feathering. Outlining with it creates an invisible border so lipstick stays inside the lines.
• Fills in fine lines. One swipe is enough to blur the look of creasing, according to the brand.
• Cleans up mistakes. Useful for erasing stray mascara marks and sharpening messy edges.
• Disguises blemishes. Urban Decay lists concealing small imperfections among its jobs.
• Goes on completely clear. No shade matching needed — it works over any lipstick or skin tone.
• Jojoba oil in the formula. The brand says this nourishes skin and keeps the glide smooth, so the texture never feels dry or cakey.
• Thick barrel by design. Easier to grip and control than a slim pencil, and it holds more product.
• Formulated without parabens.

How to use

1. Trace your lip line first. Run the pencil around the border of the lips to build the barrier that stops bleeding.
2. Swipe across the lips. A layer over the whole lip gives your colour something to hold onto.
3. Apply your lipstick or gloss on top as usual.
4. Sharpen the edges. Go back around the outline with the pencil to crisp up the finish.
5. Use it elsewhere. Swipe it over fine lines, or over a mascara smudge or slipped liner to tidy the area.
6. Keep the point. When the tip goes blunt, grind it back with a sharpener suited to thick barrels.

Questions

Is it a lip liner or a primer?

Both, in effect. It is a clear primer in pencil form — it defines and seals the lip border like a liner would, but adds no colour, so it works with every lipstick you own.

How is it different from the slim Ozone pencil?

It is the thicker-barrelled version of that pencil. The wider shape makes it easier to hold and to swipe across larger areas, which is why it doubles as a fine-line and clean-up tool rather than being lips-only.

Will it feel dry on my lips?

Urban Decay describes the formula as creamy and moisturising, with jojoba oil included so it glides rather than drags and does not leave a cakey feel.

Does it need a special sharpener?

Because of the thick barrel, you will need a sharpener sized for wide pencils rather than a standard slim one. Keeping a fresh point makes the outlining step much cleaner.
