Best Urban Decay Eye Shadow Colors

by Angel

Urban Decay eyeshadow is edgy yet embraces femininity. Their eye shadow palettes are some of the most popular makeup available on the market today.

Urban Decay uses the best ingredients, and puts a little fun into everything they create. They have a mind-blowing assortment of products and wide range of colors. They have become favorites among celebrities, rock stars, and beauty-lovers everywhere. Thanks goes to the creative direction of co-founder Wende Zomnir.

It started in 1996 when Sandy Lerner couldn't find the right shade of polish to satisfy her alternative makeup tastes. She joined forces with Zomnir and David Soward and they created a fresh collection of beauty products. Urban Decay has since redefined how consumers look at color.

Urban Decay has a soft side too. They are dedicated to the love of animals. Since the beginning every product has been made using 100% cruelty-free methods. They have also raised thousands of dollars for animal causes. They are recognized by many animal rights groups for their efforts.

Urban Decay Naked Palette

A flattering palette that features 12 eye shadows with a distinctive Urban look. I ordered this palette when it came out and use it most everyday. Next to my MAC eye shadows, these are my favorites.

The case comes packed with 12 gorgeous neutrals that work for everyone. Shades range from champagne to gritty gunmetal, and feature five stunning new shades. A variety of textures that includes glitter, shimmer, and matte. You will never get tired of these colors. This versatile palette can go from office appropriate to a night on the town.

Urban Decay Naked2 Palette

The most anticipated sequel of the year, Naked2 features a twelve color-rich taupe and gray-beige neutrals, plus five new shades. This is a great followup to the Naked Palette with more great neutrals. I have ordered this palette and can't wait to get them. This is the follow up to the original bestselling Naked palette, this great second edition proves that neutral is anything but boring. Showcasing twelve completely different shades than the first neutral collection, it includes a range from pale and deep, to matte and sparkly. You'll achieve many new neutral looks.

Eyeshadow Primer Potion Tube

No eye shadow would be complete without a good eye primer. Urban Decay make a very good eye primer that I have used quite a bit lately. It prepares your eye for eye shadow. In addition it brightens your eye shadow and makes your eye shadow last all day.  It is packaged in a new squeeze tube with a precise applicator. It glides onto your skin providing ultimate eye preparation for smoother, vivid eye shadow and all-day, creaseless wear. It disappears completely when applied.

The squeeze tube version of this product is exclusive to Sephora for a limited time.  The Naked eye color palette includes one of these free when you order the eye colors.

Brenda - I have really enjoyed my Naked collection. They are so easy to use everyday because they are neutral. I am waiting for my Naked2 collection to get here any day now. I can't wait. As you know, I am a makeup freak. Check out my personal website on makeup for lots of good reviews. The URL is under my profile. I have also changed the other website since you looked at it. No longer for ADHD.. it is for Big Girl fashion! LOL.
