Urban Decay Eye Shadow List

Urban Decay has some of the most vibrant eye shadows out there with a wide range of colors and textures. I've looked online for places with good descriptions of the eye shadow colors and some of the swatches weren't all that great. So, I decided to make my own page with descriptions from online sites and with scans of my own Urban Decay eye shadows. Hopefully, this site will help you choose shades while online shipping. I will try to make the scans of the eye shadows as accurate as possible. I have compiled these descriptions from various websites (Urban Decay, Makeupalley, etc).

All Urban Decay eye shadows are available at www.urbandecay.com or you can click on the following link:


If you have any additional questions or comments, or would like to contribute, please feel free to email me here or page me on MakeupAlley where my username is Nakobear.

Enjoy!
