Urban Decay UV-B Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a "vibrant blue with violet shift." It's a medium, bluish-purple with cool undertones and a soft, frosted finish. It had a dustier, slightly thin texture that was prone to sheering out, so it would be better applied over a lightly tacky base (I think something stronger than Urban Decay's own Primer Potion, personally, is needed). It had semi-opaque coverage, and it was hard to blend out evenly, as it tended to stick more in some places than others after initial application. On me, it wore well for seven and a half hours before fading. Makeup Geek Chit Chat (DC, $6.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Disney by Sephora Mystical Wonder (LE, ) is darker (80% similar). MAC Blue Orbit (LE, $20.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). Giorgio Armani #19 (P, $32.00) is lighter, brighter (85% similar). Anastasia D2 (Norvina Vol. 1) (LE, ) is less shimmery, lighter (85% similar). MAC Parfait Amour (DC, $17.00) is less shimmery, darker, warmer (85% similar). Urban Decay Beat Down (LE, $19.00) is more shimmery, darker (85% similar). MAC Ascent of Glamour (LE, $22.00) is more shimmery, darker (80% similar). Sugarpill Weekender (P, $13.00) is more shimmery, darker (80% similar). Sephora Indigo (PiP, ) is darker, warmer (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
