We purchase every product we review with our own funds — we never accept anything from product manufacturers.

Makeup lovers went crazy for Urban Decay's original Naked palette, and the brand has been consistently impressing them ever since. You can expect creamy, pigmented eye shadows that last all day without smudging or creasing. Many of their palettes can be used to create a wide range of neutral and dramatic looks. Almost as exciting as the eye shadow itself is the aesthetically pleasing packaging that Urban Decay never fails to deliver. Always remember to check Sephora's swatch images for an idea of how the colors will look on your skin before purchasing.
