    This eyeshadow is gorgeous and versatile for creating all different looks. It is a one-of-a-kind lavender with duochrome blue undertones. I wish it was a bit more pigmented though, because the...

    Got to love the color and texture of this shadow! This is one of my faves. It shows up really well on my skin tone and blends with other colors so easy. I love most of UD shadows but this is one of...

    This shadow is gorgeous. It is a light purple with a strong blue tint/duochrome. I love using it as a light lid wash. It is not as pigmented or shimmery as UD's shadows normally are. In fact, I...

    Asphyxia is a soft lavender eyeshadow with a slight blue duochrome. I didn't notice the blue at first, but if you hold up the shadow and tilt it back and forth, you can definitely see the light...

    I got this in a swap and had to say I am kind of disappointed. Maybe it's my skin tone (NC 30), but the pigmentation isn't the best for UD. It's a bit too sheer against my skin. Also it's a pretty...

    The packaging, for $17 a pop, felt a little thin and flimsy to me, like if I dropped it (heaven forbid) the whole thing would just smash and there'd be no saving the eyeshadow. However, the color...

    This is a really pretty light purple color. When I first saw a picture online, I thought it was more of a pastel, but this is much more pigmented than it looks. Very bright and bold, yet still...

    This is good! it has a lot of pretty blue undertones and the pigmentation is good. Blends easily, and looks good without a ton of other shadows or liner to go with it. Like all UD, it's expensive...

    I have root beer brown colored eyes & fair/medium skin tone. This color looks GREAT with my eye color. However, now that I'm getting older I don't use this shade as much. I still love it though!

    Love/hate relationship! This is the most gorgeous duochrome lavender with a blue shift but it's very frustrating to work with. Be prepared to layer several layers to get the color to show up as a...

    Asphyxia doesn’t do much for me. The color is so beautiful in the pan, but it has almost no pigmentation when applied. I like it better when applied with neutrals rather than by itself. Maybe I...

    Not for ME! Perhaps its my complextion or skin tone. I'm an NC30/NC35 and NC38 in the summer. The texture isn't my favourite, it's not soft. As for the colour it is a grungy colour, i don't...

    As far as eyeshadow quality goes, Urban Decay is one of the best. They are a cruelty-free company, so I purchase a lot of my makeup from them for that reason. I have had this eyeshadow for a few...

    I agree with previous reviews saying that you can't even tell you're wearing this. It is such a beautiful color in the pan but on the lid it isn't noticeable at all. I have olive skin and tried...

    Maybe I'm crazy (or maybe the formula has changed as I bought mine a few years - at least - ago) but I dug this out today feeling "springy". Noticed in the reviews here that it's like Grifter...
