what urban decay products would u recommend? how does is it compare w/ MAC for quality?

 

[indetails]

i love their e/s! i think theyre better quality than MAC. i few of my fav: smog, oil slick, goddess, stray dog +++++ and you cant forget the famous primer potion. i perfer that over mac paints

I like their primer potion, it works for me better than MAC paints/shadesticks. Nothing else has held up as well for me. However, they don't have an array of textures in their eyeshadows. They're all shimmery or glittery, which I can't stand. I like a little more texture when I design an eyeshadow look. I also love their glitter eyeliners and 24/7 glide on liners. other than that...meh nothing else impresses me.

They don't make complexion products for women of color, unfortunately for them. So that's it.

oil slick sounds hot - black with rainbow glitter

oh and does any1 know how good sephoras website ud swatches are? are they pretty true 2 the actual shade in person

LOVE UDPP. The shadows? Meh. I find myself working harder with the vibrant ones to get the look I'm going for. And, after all that, they fade.....*cough*Grafitti turns into Swimming*cough*. I don't know if it's just me, but all off their shadows transfer all over my lid when I wear them. If I put one on my lid, it's all over my crease in few hours.

The primer potion is the best a must have!!!! I also like there delux shadows, they have a lot of pigment.

i work at sephora and from what i have seen i would go to a store, the swatches are not that good you will be much happier being able to see and feel there products!

try their deluxe eyeshadows instead of the regular ones.. i got Midnight Cowboy e/s and i hated it! so glittery and messy

I adore the eyeshadows.

I love their eyeshadows, particularly the ones with the iridescent switch look thing. I like glitter and shimmer, so that's probably part of it.

My favorite is Blunt, because it's so versatile. However, I like the rest as well. I think UD is perfect if you like glitter.

The Deluxe shadows are also great, highly pigmented.

i love their eyeshadows. Mostly the ones w/out glitter though because the glittery ones can be really messy and hard to apply.
I like the heavy metal glitter liners too.
Oh and the 24/7 eye liners. Those really last through anything so i wuold reccomend those too!

 

[eye_pr0mise]

love love loveeee the primer potion. you gotta get that ..
they're e/s are great too. they have a new collection that just came out, has some bright stuff going on there. i just recently bought flipside & flash .. and planning on getting jones in a little bit too.

At one point I was OBSESSED with their E/S in asphyxia. Im not really that crazy about the way their eyeshadoows glide over the eyes. Like everyone else says, their primer is to die for

I dislike how soft Urban Decay shadows are. I have Uzi and I hate it because it shows up very inconsistent and the glitter goes everywhere except the eyes. I have Shattered and I love that color, gorgeous metallic blue-green. I also have Fishnet Deluxe shadow and it's nice, but I really regret paying $19 for it. I don't even like purple that much, and it was a waste because it's cool packaging, but the plastic always falls off the top which makes the image try to get out, lol. They're nice, but I prefer MAC's powder shadows a LOT more.

I do love their Primer Potion, though I do prefer MAC paints and shadesticks. I also love love love their cream shadows. They're like the consistency of MAC LiquidLast Liner, but much easier to remove and used as shadows, not just liner. They're all creamy and gorgeous, especially Asphyxia and Oilslick.

another vote for their primer potion! before finding it, my eyeshadows wouldn't last more than 2 hours! it would crease and become weird. one drawback on this is that it's a bit hard to blend the shadows together. i find it easier to apply just a little (size of a grain of rice), rub it between 2 fingers then apply it on your eyelid. from there, use a neutral eyeshadow to apply on your eyelid, this will make a barrier between the primer and your other eyeshadow colors, but will still allow all the eyeshadows to last!

Their eyeshadows are great. I tend to stray away from the glittery ones, although I plan to give them a try at some point. I just dont figure that large bits of glitter are very attractive. Anyway, I think the eyeshadows are of a higher quality than MAC. I also like the UDPP but I find it is sort of hard to blend with but no more difficult that the CCB or shadesticks, and very long lasting. I'm a fan.

The primer potion is fantastic. You have to be careful how you put it on because sometimes it makes your e/s hard to blend.
