Urban Decay Matte Shadows

Filed Under Blog, Makeup |

Premering August 1st, Urban Decay fans will finally get what they’ve been asking for: Urban Decay Matte Shadows! Whether you are already a fan of Urban Decay or you are about to discover this fabulous brand, you are going to love these new shadows!

Twelve gorgeous shades, in classic Urban Decay style these little beauties range from sexy earthy neutrals to bright gorgeous hues.

The New Shadows

ABC Gum: light, neutral peach

Narcotic: brilliant aqua-marine

Chronic: grass green

Perversion: jet black

Cult: velvety plum

Purple Haze: vibrant lavender

Foxy: light sand

Revolver: plush gray

Illegal: soft mauve

Secret Service: chocolate brown

Naked: nude

Yeyo: sheer pure white

Typically shimmery eye shadows, Urban Decays signature, deliver velvety richness without chalkiness, something Wende Zomnir, co-founder and creative director of Urban Decay Cosmetics has always found to be missing in matte shadows. Now Urban Decay has developed a new formula for matte shadows which is very low on binders and delivers the richness of a shimmer shadow with a very velvety, lush texture.

The shades are intoxicating and there is something here for everyone. Revolver makes the greatest smoky eye, Narcotic is right in line with the bright color trends and ABC Gum is perfect for blending.

This collection is so beautiful that it’s got me on the edge of my seat for fall. Armani is showing bright hues with luscious grays on his fall runway and the Cult and Revolver are going to be an amazing compliment to that combination!

Hint: Try Perversion (jet black) with a liner brush instead of your usual black liner. This creates a beautiful softer look for summer, but because of the rich pigment of this shadow you don’t sacrifice on the drama of black eyeliner.
