Urban Decay Free Bird, Set List, Ride, Charged, Float 24/7 Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches
Free Bird
Urban Decay Free Bird 24/7 Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium-dark, pinky-lavender with warmer undertones and barely-there, cooler violet pearl. It had mostly opaque, buildable color coverage with a soft, slightly thinner consistency with some slip. It applied better with a fingertip or a flat, firm brush and pressed and patted on rather than swept on. The edges were blendable, though, and the color didn’t start to fade until after seven and a half hours of wear.

Formula Overview
$19.00/0.06 oz. - $316.67 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "high-pigment" with "ultra-smooth color payoff with maximum blendability" while being long-wearing. The brand is confusing, as they claim "up to 12 hours."
The majority of the shades I tested were pigmented--semi-opaque to opaque--with the matte finish having the most variance. The lighter matte shades tended to be thinner, more powdery, and sheerer as a result of those texture differences. The more satin-to-pearl shimmer shades tended to be thinner, too, and they sometimes applied more unevenly or had to be built up. The higher-sheen shimmer shades tended to be pigmented, lightly creamy, and blendable with good adhesion.
They wore between eight and nine hours on average, which is solid wear time but similar to a lot of other powder eyeshadows for me, so it wasn't extra long-wearing in context.
In comparison to the last iteration of the brand's eyeshadow formula, it did not feel vastly different. The mattes seemed a little thinner and a touch more powdery, while the shimmers were a touch thicker on average with some of the more pearl-like finishes having weaker coverage and felt too firmly-pressed into the pan and looked thinner on, so they weren't as flattering to wear.

Set List
Urban Decay Set List 24/7 Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium purple with subtle, warmer pink undertones and flecks of cooler sparkle over a more frosted finish. The consistency felt slightly thicker, denser, and was harder to pick up evenly with a brush, so it tended to apply more smoothly with a dampened brush or a fingertip. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which stayed on decently for eight hours but there was light fallout from the inclusion of larger sparkles.

From the description Free Bird doesn’t seem that bad and on application it says -0.1, but the line is full. So is it it really a C- rating?
This is fixed!
👍
To be honest, I’m not exactly blown away by this quintet. Ride looks beautiful, but I have dupes for it, though. Float is *alright*, but I’ve spotted some much better teals on the horizon.
These are generally much, much better quality than the eye pencils of yesterday. Ride is a lovely plum shade and UD managed to do the blue shades really well too.
It’s encouraging that these are far less dismal than the shadow pencils! I really like Float but it’s the sort of colour I’m drawn to and like to buy but rarely wear! Ride caught my eye (I’m the woman who has started to embrace this sort of shade) but I have Dior’s New Look quad so have a very good dupe for it (still, I might want to get it since this is a whole new “area” of shadow colours for me and it’s good to have more than 2 or 3 that are similar).
Is Ride the same color as Blackheart from the Naked 3 palette?
Not quite – the finish is different! https://www.temptalia.com/side-by-side/?sbs_1_search=Urban+Decay+Ride&sbs_1=466960&sbs_2_search=Urban+Decay+Blackheart&sbs_2=144424
Thank you for responding! 🙂
I’m looking forward to seeing these as a look on you, Christine!
