As I mentioned yesterday, I’m going through a lot of permanent eyeshadows from various brands so that we can add more swatches to the Swatch Gallery. Here are eleven Urban Decay eyeshadows (with no real rhyme or reason), and going through all of the pots yesterday made me wish Urban Decay would sell their permanent range in refills. It would be so much more convenient and take up less space!
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Swatches (Part 1)
- Dashiki is a medium, brightened blue with a frosted sheen. It seems like it would be comparable to MAC’s Freshwater.
- Free Love is a medium-dark coral-orange with a golden shimmer and sheen.
- Haight is a medium-dark blue with a hint of teal and blue shimmer.
- Lounge is a reddened brown with a teal shimmer and flash. It’s more of a duochrome. At first glance, it seems similar to MAC’s Club, and it is, but it has a lot more red in its base (also more pigmented).
- Mary Jane is a steely gray-blue with a silver sheen.
- Psychedelic Sister is a dark violet purple with subtle red undertones and a shimmered sheen.
- Rush is a darkened gold-bronze with antique gold shimmer and a frosted sheen. It’s similar to Illamasqua Ore but less multi-faceted.
- S&M is a medium-dark silver shimmered gray with a frosted finish.
- Shakedown is a muted, played-down mushroom brown with a matte finish. It’s a browner version of Burberry Taupe Brown; matte version of Inglot #402.
- Urb is an olive green with a golden sheen and antique gold micro-glitter. This a less-than-stellar shade because of the glittery finish; it doesn’t apply evenly and can have a lot of fall out during application.
- Woodstock is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with soft pink shimmer and a pearled sheen.
Urban Decay Dashiki Eyeshadow
Where to Buy: Sephora, $17
Urban Decay Eyeshadows are some of my favorites–they are typically very pigmented, smooth, buttery, and blendable. The only shades to watch for are any that have the word “glitter” or “sparkle” in the description, because they tend to have a micro-glitter that just doesn’t bind with the color base, which means it either disappears between brush and lid (best case scenario) or you end up with a sparkly under eye (worst case scenario). (Urb is the shade that brings down the overall rating on these.) Their matte finishes are soft and finely milled Coach Factory Outlet Online, but a note on application, these are so blendable that it’s easy to overdo it.
