Reviews mention

  • Exceptional longevity setting spray
  • Creamy, budge-proof eyeliners
  • Highly pigmented eyeshadows
  • Lightweight, natural-finish complexion
  • Dated, less innovative launches
  • Inconsistent eyeshadow formula
  • Fussy squeeze-tube packaging
  • Limited or mismatched shades

Urban Decay delivers results, according to reviews, with standouts like All Nighter Setting Spray that locks makeup for hours and 24/7 eyeliners that glide and set, while richly pigmented eyeshadows, palettes like Honey and Heat, and shadow sticks such as Fishbowl earn praise for payoff and wear. Reviews also note drawbacks: newer launches feel less innovative, some products underperform versus competitors, shade gaps or mismatches occur, and certain packaging (squeeze tubes) frustrates use.

  • I already had the dupe Space Cowboy eyeshadow from Coloupop but when i saw the OG on sale i decided to pick it up. It gives a wonderful shine to the eyes without being "glittery". Given i am in my mid 40s this is exactly what i wanted. Very flattering.

  • I’ve been using the Face Bond Foundation from Urban Decay and one of the first things I noticed is how lightweight it feels on the skin. It honestly doesn’t feel like you’re wearing foundation at all. After applying it, the skin gets a really soft, velvety finish that looks smooth and natural. It gives the skin a nice blurred look without feeling heavy. The coverage is medium, so it evens out the skin tone nicely while still looking natural.

  • Urban Decay makes great quality makeup items. I have enjoyed their 24/7 eyeliner consistently over the years. The product is creamy and sets in place which helps prevent transfer on my oily eyelids. I like the whiskey and blackout shades.

  • This is a nice blush!! It’s very pigmented and a little truly does go a long way. I like that you can layer it without cracking or feeling too heavy on the skin. The shades are very pretty and loo like a nice flush on the cheeks. I think the only thing I don’t like is the packaging, I am sooo bad at using tubes you have to squeeze! It feels like a lot comes out at once but that just might be a me problem 😅 still it is a very nice dewy looking blush! I definitely recommend this blush and will try out more shades

  • Foundation that i have from Urban Decay actually is a perfect texture that makes great coverage and doesn't run away after an hour, stays still, looks just as skin and doesn't make your skin too dry more on a natural side

  • I've been using Urban Decay for over 10 years! I have all of the original Naked palettes and they're so nostalgic for me. I will say that the formula for their eyeshadows isn't that amazing when compared to other high-end brands. But their eye liners and setting sprays are both fantastic quality!

  • I feel like some of their products are overpriced. I do like some of them okay though. Today I am reviewing the face bond LUMINIZER in half baked. It’s okay, but for me, I need a lighter shade. You guys need to work on getting the technology abuse off of your website by the way. It makes this not a very good experience to review products.

  • Over the years I have used & loved products from URBAN DECAY. I really like their lipsticks, primer, and eyeliner pencils but what I really love is all of their eyeshadow! I have a few singles that come in really cool round metal pots, and I have quite a few of their palettes. I love their nude colors & palettes but I think they excel in the colorful ones! If I won the lottery I would buy every single palette!

  • Naked eyeshadow stick I really like this eyeshadow stick. It glides on smoothly, making it easy to apply. It's soft and gentle on the lid, so it's not irritating. It's a buildable creamy formula. It lasts all day. I received the toasty shade to try. It is a pretty color, a copper shimmer. It was easy to remove at the end of the day. Im definitely going to try a matte eyeshadow stick from this line.

  • what a classic brand! they have so many amazing products, but I am here to talk about their shadowsticks, specifically the shade "fishbowl" OH MY GOD. truly so pigmented, easy to use, incredible wear. it is worth your money!

  • I swear by several of Urban Decay’s products and would recommend them to anyone. Their all nighter setting spray keeps my makeup in place even in the humidity. I love their Naked 2 Basics eyeshadow palette for easy, neutral eye looks for day or night. The 24/7 glide-on eye pencils are a staple in my makeup routine, in both demolition & whiskey browns, along with the 24/7 waterline eye pencil in legend. The lip pencils are just as good. While you can find some good dupes for a lower price, I think these are all worth the splurge.

  • I was gifted the new luminizers and I was confused on how to apply them in my makeup routine but they work great under their super serum foundation. I love the glow it can provide when applied properly.

  • If you’re looking for a long lasting setting spray the All Nighter by Urban Decay is the one you need. I love how light it feels on my skin while also keeping all my makeup in place for an exceptional amount of time.

  • I love the colors that Urban Decay offers. I use it on my lips and eyes. The browns work perfectly to line my lips. I love using the darker browns on the outside, then the lighter browns on the inside. After I finish I go in with a clear gloss to brighten the look!

  • I really love Urban Decay’s setting spray. Of all the setting sprays I’ve tried, it’s the one that has made my makeup last the longest. The mist is great, not too concentrated as other are, so it doesn’t wash away the makeup as you put it back on. The setting spray is not skin irritating and feels very nice. Would recommend.

  • Urban decay has been around forever and it was the very first high end foundation I ever purchased. They make such great products. Like their lip bonds? Such an amazing liquid lipstick that’s transfer proof. Their all nighter setting spray is one of my faves

  • I have been a big fan of UD for many years. I have three naked palettes but one of my favorites is the ultraviolet. The colors are so vibrant and last all day. Just make sure you always use primer. Which I also use from UD. But most of all the setting spray is setting! I can never get enough urban decay!

  • There products are amazing but the quickly conselor is my favorite the I lines are well The formula is good n light

  • I used to use their products for eyeshadow primer but really have minimized my makeup routine. I did like their barely naked palettes but I do not know about their ingredients and how “clean” they are. It has been more important to me lately so I stopped using their products and in leu found other brands.
