Urban Decay Desperation is a moderately cool-toned, dark taupe with a matte finish. It is an eyeliner that is permanent in this palette: Black Market.

Editor's Review

Desperation is described as "deep taupe-gray matte." It's a medium-dark, gray-leaning taupe with soft brown undertones and a matte finish. This is part of the permanent range. It has decent color payoff in one pass, and it is buildable to more opaque color on the lash line. It lasted well for a full eight hours, and then it started to show signs of fading after nine hours--just a thinning of the color but no smudging or migrating. Laura Mercier Slate seems warmer. Urban Decay Stray Dog is lighter, shimmery. bareMinerals 11PM is darker. See comparison swatches.

My favorite shade! I put this on before I lay on my (super comfy, AND sexy!) couch and dream up harmful policies against men who wear makeup. Highly recommended! - JDV
