My Favorite Urban Decay Products



Hey Everyone! I'm still behind on my posts! My first review today will go over my favorite Urban Decay products. There are a few UD products that I did not include in this post because I have found other products that are similar and sometimes work better (ex. All Nighter Setting Spray, and their lash primer). Let's just get into it!




First up is the UD Naked Smoky Palette. If you love the naked palettes, but are looking for neutral colors to create an intense smokey eye look, this palette is for you, The shadows are very pigmented, and the palette includes both shimmery and matte shades for a complete look. I will link the full review here.





Next is the UD Moondust Palette. This is the best glitter palette in my opinion. I love glitter makeup products, and this palette features 8 intense glitter shades. There are no mattes, so you will have to supplement this palette with other shadows for a complete look, but these colors work well with other Naked palette shades or even shadows from other brands. I will link the full review here.




The UD Naked 3 palette is my favorite Naked palette. I have light golden brown eyes, and these shades help them really pop. I love the rose gold shade the most, but all these shadows are really beautiful. They blend very well, and you can create neutral to smokey eye looks. There are both shimmery and matte shades in this palette, so you don't need to supplement it with any other shadows, The brush that comes with is is shown in the picture above. I will be writing a full review with a tutorial soon, so look out for it.




The UD Ammo palette is actually my first UD palette. I bought this palette to do my own makeup for a friend's wedding. I was very surprised by how much I liked the brand. The colors are very pigmented, and blend really well. They include my favorite color Sin in this palette, and I've already hit pan on that shade. I will be buying Sin on it's own, because it is the most beautiful shade I have ever used. The picture above does not show the inside of the palette, but you can read the full review here. The brush on top of the palette is actually the UD Naked Flushed brush that works well with the UD Flushed palette (featured next). One end of the brush is a blush brush that I use for contouring, and the other end is for highlighter. 




Next we have the UD Naked Flushed palette in Native. I picked this palette up when it was on sale for $15, and I'm really happy that I did! I don't use the blush often because it is a little too bright for me, but I love love love the bronzer and highlighter. They are both shimmery shades, and I use the bronzer for contouring (not all over my face). The highlighter is one of the best I've used so far. It can be used everywhere (cheeks, nose, inner corners of the eye, browbone, cupid's bow...) and creates such an amazing glow. You can read the full review here.




Next we have the UD Eyeshadow Primer Potion and the UD Vice Liquid Lipstick. This eyeshadow primer is one of the best primers I have used. It helps your eyeshadows apply easier and keeps them crease free all day. This is my second tube of the primer, and this one includes a brush in the cap to help apply it to the lid. I like that it is a neutral color, so I can use it with any shadow. The Vice Liquid Lipstick I got as a sample from Sephora. I was excited to try it because I find that most liquid lipsticks dry out my lips too much. This formula is amazing! It lasts forever and doesn't suck all the moisture out of my lips! I will definitely be purchasing the full size and trying out other shades.




Next we have the UD Eyeshadow Primer Potion in gold and the UD Perversion Mascara. I love the eyeshadow primer, but I only use it when I need a golden base. It has the same formula as the original, but it leaves a gold shimmer shade all over your lid. I love using it with the UD Naked 3 palette shades. It really helps the colors pop. The Perversion mascara is one of my favorite mascaras of all time. The one shown in the picture is the mini one. I don't like to buy full sized mascara because I bounce around from mascara to mascara so often that they get dried out before they are used up. This travel size is perfect for me. I love the wet formula, and it makes my lashes super long and black. Look out for a list of all my favorite mascaras soon!





Last we have the UD Naked Skin Concealer and the UD Naked Basics brush. I got this concealer for use under my eyes so that's why the shade is so light. It is a full coverage concealer that doesn't crease or feel too heavy on the skin. The light shade that I have really helps brighten up my under eye area. I don't like the concealer for the rest of my face though. I find that it doesn't cover what I want even though it is full coverage. The shadow brush is amazing. I purchased it to help with contouring my eye, and it works really well. It is the same quality as the brushes you get in the Naked palettes.


I hope this review of UD was helpful! If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below.
