description

Insane color payout. A velvety, suede-like smoothness and blendability. THE FORMULA: Soft, amazingly velvety texture. Rich, dense and decadent color. Smooth, uniform pigment distribution and blendability. Long-lasting, crease-free wear. The secret to the new formula is our Pigment Infusion System™, a vehicle for color that holds tightly to pigment and gives the formula its glide. The proprietary blend of ingredients allows color to weave itself through the Eyeshadow formula. What does all that mean? Insane payout. Color that stays on your lids. Sparkle that doesn’t fall. And a velvety, suede-like smoothness and blendability. This amazing technology works for every shade and finish. Every Urban Decay shade goes on silky, blends easily and stays put. THE SHADES: Shimmer, satin, sparkle, duotone and matte finishes. THE TOKEN: Inspired by NYC subway tokens, our gorgeous gunmetal compact allows you to pop your shadows out, and pop them into a Build Your Own Palette. (It’s easy…no melting, magnets or breakage.)

I love the texture, long-lasting quality, and great pigmentation of UD shadows, but the only caveat is that the color choices are CRAAZZZY!! Of course, I know that's what the company is aiming for,...

Simply the best eye shadow IMO. I have really never worn much eye shadow because they usually just end up creasing and fading. Yes, I've tried all of the bases and primers out there but alas my...

So far, I've had 2 UD eyeshadows, Mildew and Shattered. I hated Mildew, and loved Shattered. Mildew never seems to go on right, it's always uneven, and it seems kind of chalky and chunky to me. On...

I never wore much eyeshadow until UD. I had one d/s light pink shadow which broke and needed replacing so I decided to try UDs SWF. Um, it did not just replace, it by far surpassed *any* eyeshadow...

Okay, so maybe it's more like a 4.5 rating, but I love these so much that I rounded up to 5. Any deduction would be because the shadow does tend to flake onto the face during application (I hold a...

UD has a nice range of special and shimmery eyeshadows but I find the texture to be not as good as MAC's. Some of the glittery eyeshadows are sort of crumbly too :( I love Cash, Envy and Hotpants...
