Urban Decay Urban Spectrum Eyeshadow Palette
Urban Decay Urban Spectrum Eyeshadow Palette ($55.00 for 0.75 oz.) includes fifteen, full-sized eyeshadows (0.05 oz. each); five new shades, four permanent shades, and six shades from other palettes. I really liked the palette, and I think that the majority of the shades applied well over bare skin and lasted for seven to eight hours before creasing and/or fading. The pigmentation was typically good with soft, blendable textures that were easy to work with. This palette is all shimmer, though, so if you like satins and mattes to vary the finishes that you use, you’ll need to incorporate another palette. The three worst-performers were either more glittery or firmer/sheerer. It is exclusively available at urbandecay.com on October 20th and is limited edition.
Edited on 10/20/15 at 2:30PM PST: I just received an answer regarding availability on this palette (I emailed my long-time contact this morning), in brief: launches in their freestanding stores today but nothing online until early 2016. Yes, 2016. All of the palettes were sent to bloggers as a UD.com exclusive but apparently there was a change in distribution and now it is a Sephora exclusive.

Prank is described as a “deep navy matte with turquoise floating pearl.” It’s a muted, blackened blue with green shimmer over a matte finish.

Flashback is described as a “bright deep purple with pink sparkle.” It’s a meidum, violet purple with a soft, frosted finish. It had good color payoff with a slightly dry, but not powdery, consistency that could be helped by usage of a primer, as it didn’t go on as evenly on bare skin.

Voodoo is described as a “metallic purple shimmer with iridescent purple micro-glitter.” It’s a muted, deepened purple with neutral-to-warm undertones and a metallic sheen.

Bordello is described as a “pale mauve shimmer with gold micro-glitter.” It’s a pinky-plum with warm undertones and copper sparkle. It had good pigmentation, but the texture was noticeably chunky due to the amount of glitter in it. It applied well enough, but it’s a shade you’ll want to apply before any base products as it drops a lot of glitter during application and some more during wear.

Backlash is described as a “bright pink with orange floating pearl.” It’s a brightened, fuchsia pink with cool, bluish pearl.

Daybreak is described as a “soft bronze with silver glitter.” It’s a medium, golden brown with warm undertones and micro-glitter. The texture was drier and thinner, and it was the least promising shade in the palette as it seems almost loose in practice. I was able to get it to work, but it needs primer or even an adhesive base. It started to fade after seven hours of wear. Becca Champagne Toast (LE, ) is more shimmery (95% similar).

There seemed to be slight bits of silver micro-glitter in this one, though it isn’t in the description.

Ahhhh! Sold. I’ve been meaning to pick up a good “colorful” palette, and this has my name written all over it. I was pretty sure I would pick this over Vice4, but the review just sold me.
Now I just have to play the waiting game until October & hope no other holiday releases distract me…
Yayyy! I liked this one more than Vice 4 for performance/ease of use.
I love this but I really wish that there weren’t so many permanent/previously released shades in it :/ I have at least six of these shades already so I don’t think this would be worth it overall. Definitely gonna lean towards the Vice 4 instead.
Side note: its nice to see UD doing a little better with their palettes with these two releases!
Totally understand! I feel like those who have a lot of UD palettes may find this a miss.
Very beautiful palette, but I can’t justify the purchase. I have so many UD palettes. I already own 1/2 the shadows. Wahh
Gosh, I like this palette. I don’t NEED it, and I can probably dupe most of it, but it’s so pretty. The design of the palette itself is holding me back though. I don’t like how bulky it is.
It’s pretty but not travel-friendly 🙁 Wish it came with a belt or ribbon to keep it all shut!
I’ve heard of people using bento box elastic bands to hold larger palettes shut. I wonder if that would work for this.
The inner tray with the shadows is removable. I was considering depotting the pans into a magnetic palette and using the box for jewelry or lipsticks or something.
OMG, I am DROOLING over all the greens, purples, and blues –and all got A/B ratings!! So impressed. I was already eyeing Evidence and Omen as singles. I can use every color in this palette, will go great with my brown eyes. I am going to be one of those people up at 12 AM trying to snag this one
Sounds like a palette for you 😀
The beauty struggle is real. I own a few of these shades, but I know I’d use this palette a lot. *flails*
Maybe it’s the grouping of colors, but this is such a pretty palette to look at! It isn’t as chaotic as a lot of other color-heavy palettes.
I think it ended up working together nicely! I’m guessing presenting them in more of a rainbow-order made it less chaotic.
They almost could have nixed those browns in the last row and thrown in more greens, oranges or golds to make this like, a supplemental palette for someone who wanted to branch out from neutrals in a big way. As a collector of Sleek palettes I have plenty of colors and jewel tones, and so don’t really need this. Anyone who’s not totally sold on this or Vice 4 might check out Sleek’s new palette Enchanted Forest. It has dupes for C-Note, Robbery, Beat-down/Voodoo, Daybreak, and something kind of similar to Omen. Way cheaper of course.
I thought it was funny that the logo/title on the exterior box packaging was rainbow-hued, but the palette itself isn’t quite so.
Protest is so pretty!
It is!
I really like Voodoo. Glad this one is better. If I had to choose one, this is the one I’d get.
I’m glad this one worked out!
I’m bummed that Bordello performed so poorly. It definitely seems like it was reformulated for the Shadow Box and this palette; the version I have from the Feminine palette is one of my favorite overall lid colors.
It’s such a chunky-glittery kind of shade 🙁
Darn. I was hoping that one of these would get a bad review. Welp.
Aww!
Beautiful and usable shades in the palette. I am sure whoever gets this will enjoy it.
I think so!
Ah I’m so torn on this one. This looks like exactly the kind of thing I’ve been thinking about splurging on for the holidays to get me more out of my comfort zone and try colours I wouldn’t pick in singles or smaller palettes but I think this has too many blues – the colour I find hardest to pull off for eyeshadow. Junkie looks gorgeous though.
Aw! 🙁 You might do a price out of how many shades you’d use — it’s a good deal at least for UD shadows, even if a few aren’t as usable!
This reminded me so much of the anniversary palette they did. Three of the shades are in the anniversary palette and the pinks and neutrals look similar. I really like the look of this palette, but I think this is a pass since my anniversary palette is still in great condition.
Yep, there are a lot of similarities 🙂 It has the same type of packaging, so I’m sure they took inspiration from that as well.
Which is awesome for me, because I missed out on the anniversary palette and have been lusting over it! <3
I loved this palette! It’s definitely one of the best ones to come out from UD. So cohesive and lots of pretty monochromatic look possibilities 🙂
It’s a gorgeous one!
Good to see that some of the shadows that formerly had F ratings now have improved. As much as I’m not wild about this packaging (didn’t like it with the 15th Anniversary palette and don’t like it now either), I sure wish I could get my mitts on a few of these shadows (I already have 6 or 7 of them, so purchasing this might be foolish in any case) – especially PROTEST but also West, Burn and a few others.
I just don’t know why UD doesn’t find their Canadian retailer of choice for exclusive distribution there for this!
Urbandecay.ca is set to launch soon for Canada, you can sign up for email updates and they’re giving away a Naked Smoky every week.
Love it! Even though I probably would pull some matte in, the shades are gorgeous! Looks like UD is going to be taking a bunch of my money here soon!
They definitely could have gone with at least 1-2 more mattes, lol!
Hi Christine! How would you compare this to the Anniversary palette? The packaging/colors kind of reminded me of it!
There is overlap, and I’m pretty sure it’s on purpose since they’re using the same packaging, but the 15th Anniversary palette had a lot more neutrals–more browns, gray, black.
http://www.temptalia.com/urban-decay-15th-anniversary-eyeshadow-palette-swatches-photos-review-part-1
This is so beautiful. Backlash, all the purples, the blues…excellent. I always have to use a glitter glue primer with Bordello, so no surprise there. The packaging is beautiful.
Christine, all three eye looks you did are absolutely stunning. *applauds*
Aww, thank you so much, Rachel!!
Hi Christine!
I just wanted to say I’m also looooving your three (!!!) eye-looks as well! Gorgeous. I’m not totally sold on this palette anymore, because a) I already have some of these, b) there are now so many colorful ones to choose from right now (I might cave for the KVD), and c) I’ve taken to collecting Inglot and Sleek palettes in recent months – but! I love looking at your eye looks. Such great inspo!!!
Aww, thanks so much, Bonnie! xo
Ok, so I just died. This is so beyond gorgeous, that it took my capacity to breathe away. I think I am going to have to have this one even though it is all shimmer, because these shades are a definite TKO!!!
(P.S.: I lurrrve those awesome eye looks you did with it, definitely sold me! Pun intended, LoL!)
Thanks, Nancy! This was a really fun palette to use — a lot of eyeshadow (without primer) is more challenge than fun to play with, but these were fun.
Thank you so much, Christine, for investigating the mystery surrounding this palette’s very unnerving non-release yesterday. At least now we all have some clarification on why it didn’t happen as planned or anticipated. Now the proverbial “ball” has been placed in Sephora’s court. Let’s see how they handle it. But again, thank you.
Such pretty colors. I would wear ALL the colors!
That is awesome!
The swatches are gorgeous, but I’m not as in love as I was pre-swatch. The blues are too similar, and there’s too many pinks. I wish there was another green shade, and I wish the purples weren’t so…office-inappropriate. lol
Another green would have been awesome!
Only a few non performers out of 15? I like this and will prob purchase and gift.
I recently bought a couple of their matte lipsticks. I am pleased as a new customer to the UD website. They give larger sized samples of eye liners and shadows with purchases, free shipping incentives and ship orders quickly . Also, I can’t seem to resist those ” website exclusive” items.
I do love the eye looks that you have created with this palette!
Thanks, Pamyla!
Yep!! It did pretty well for a palette 😀
The only colors I’m interested in are Junkie, Deep End, Bordello, and Burn, but I already have Deep End in the 15th Anniversary Palette, so buying a $55 palette for 3 (well four I guess) shadows doesn’t seem worthy it. Maybe if I liked 6 or 7 shades I could justify it. Oh well
Probably not worth it 🙁
If you have the first Vice, Junkie is in there as well! 🙂
I want to love this palette so much because of the packaging, but I have at least 6 of these shades already 🙁 Good thing Vice 4 is a definite yes for me!
I’m glad one will work for you, Lorrin!
This looks way better than vice 4 and it’s cheaper and has more product
I thought it was kind of funny how it had more product and was cheaper, lol!
I’m crossing my finger that the Urban Decay.ca site launhces in time for this palette release. *_* I want this one, but I’ll be definitely depotting that tray of shades.
Fingers crossed!
Such an appealing palette, but since it’s all shimmer shadows I fear it’s not for me. I may have to pick up the Inglot dupe (if it’s still available) of Protest, however, because I love that shade.
I wish they had done a couple of satins or mattes. I mean, I’d take satin at the very least, lol!
Stunning. Three palettes being released this Fall? Don’t know what to do now.
So much new stuff!
IMO, they should have left the nudes out of the bottom two rows and put in more bold colours so there would actually be a, you know, spectrum. Don’t need anymore nudes, UD. Leave em out of the colourful palettes.
They definitely could have done a chartreuse-y green, peacock green, sunshine yellow, rich plum, or a deep cranberry.
I prefer this to this vice 4. I missed out on the anniversary one so this would be great to have.
Me too, Toni!
Definitely getting this one the minute it’s available!
Yayy!
I didn’t think I would even like this … but I actually love the packaging and at least 60% of the shades. Hmmmmm
Ooh, that will be a tough call!
Looks awesome! Pretty much have all the shades that were previously released already, and have decent dupes for most the others. So it’s a no-go for me.
Would totally gift it to my sister if she had an interest in it and I could swing a good deal with Ulta points or something, though!
Yeah, it is getting to the point where they release enough palettes that long-time collectors will likely have dupes!
It is a UD exclusive unfortunately 🙁 No Ulta points!
It turns out I love this palette more than Vice 4. The only thing is: what’s with the glitter? Satins are great too UD.
Anyway this rating is much better – even though I own Vice 2 – I still love this palette. It’s a pity about Prank – still a troublesome colour.
Thank you for all the hard work you have done over the past few days getting Vice 4 and the Spectrum reviews out in such detail. Your eye looks are sensational too.
I did as well, Genevieve! I thought this ended up being better all-around to Vice 4 — I think more satins/mattes would have been a good call though!
Love this! I think the colors in this are more cohesive than the Vice 4. The newest Vice palette just confuses me; the packaging is gorgeous but the color selection is odd.
They seemed to flow together well!
Looks beautiful! I might skip this simply because I do have the 15th anniversary palette and it looks like there’s a lot of overlap. Really excited to see such great palettes from UD this season though!
There is some overlap for sure, though I think they’re different enough to justify both (personally!).
YAAAAAAAAAAAY! Thank you for your review, Christine! But you know, regardless of the grade I will purchase this because of the beautiful Blue and Green colors! And thank goodness the colors I want got an A! 😀
My pleasure, Chellie! 🙂 I think this is well-worth considering if you’re a fan of UD and their formula.
I like this. A LOT. But I think I like the Kat Von D palette better. Once you get a review for that (I’m assuming you will) I’ll have a tough choice to make!
We’ll have to see!
That blue eye look is a stunner.
I have most of the repromotes already, so this was going to be a miss for me anyway. Which is good, since it’s a US exclusive! But I’m happy it scored well.
Thanks so much, El!
I really like this palette and am pleased it got a better rating compared to the Vice 4 but a lot of the shades look similar/almost identical to some shadows in past limited edition UD palettes. Not so sure I can justify the price once it’s released here in Australia.
Thank you Christine for getting these reviews out quickly. Truly appreciate all the work you put into Temptalia.
Thank you, Tish! <3
It’s so pretty… but I feel like I already have most of these shades, or something similar enough from UD. The packaging is *almost* enough to sell me, but I already have the 15th Anniversary palette, so I really need to turn a blind eye to the awesome matte black. Naked 3 was the last UD product I purchased – have I finally hit the saturation point where I don’t need every UD palette?! O.O
Oh, yeah, it is a palette where I feel like UD has put out a lot of similar shades to in past releases, so if you have a LOT of palettes from UD you may not need it.
My eyeshadows are all evenly split between pure matte and very complex shades (mostly duochromes), with almost zero shimmery/frosty/glittery pure colors. And I don’t own any Urban Decay shadows, so … I have no dupes of this palette. If I hadn’t just seen the Smashbox palette, I’d say this is a no-brainer … SOLD! Except now I want to see how the Smashbox palette does. It seems like the distribution of colors is better for the Smashbox palette (this palette has a handful of colors that are too close to each other in appearance) but it also has the blushes/highlighters, which I definitely don’t need. Hmmmmmm…
Decisions, decisions!
What a pretty palette! I’m glad it got good reviews. Now I have to check if Urban Decay ships internationally, if not I suppose I’ll save my money for something else.
I really hope they find a way to release it internationally!
Bordello is beautiful!
Hi Christine !
Thanks for sharing the swatches of this beautiful palette. I absolutely love it, but the ud website doesn’t ship outside of the US . Do you think there’s any chance that it’ll be sold somewhere in europe ?
I haven’t heard anything!
I bought Bordello as a single because I though it looked like a good transitional color, but it is super sheer and has micro glitter fallout. I was so disappointed. I didn’t know took cosmetics back at that time. So, buyer beware, worst UD shadow EVER!!.
It is a fussy one!
Do you have any idea if the palette is going to be available in Europe as well?
I’m not sure! They only send me US info!
Do you know if this palette is going to be available on their canadian website? (which is coming from their message I saw on urbandecay.ca YAAASS!)
I haven’t heard!
I don’t have any fun, colorful palettes…I NEED this!!!
Enjoy, Kristen!!
This has my name all over it! I have the Naked 2 and 3 palettes which I love but none of the bright ones. The Vice ones didn’t quite grab me as much as this has, although Vice 4 has come close, thanks to your reviews! Saw your latest review for Viseart Sultry Nudes and can’t wait for your Cool Matts review, will save up for a Viseart palette next year. I’m splurging out on this palette this season however, especially since it’s a limited edition!
This should be a great complement to your Naked palettes 🙂
This reminds me of the 16th anniversary palette they had, and i still have most of all the shades and palette.
It has the same packaging!
I’m in love !!!!
Yay!
Thanks for the review Christine! Happy to see UD improving since I’ve always been urban decay shadow girl and the last few palettes have disappointed. I will be purchasing!
No problem, Katie!
I’m definitely getting this pallet now! Thanks for your hard work.
My pleasure, Steffa!
Oh, I’m SO excited, so glad Sephora is selling and hopefully don’t have to wait until Oct to grab. I will be stalking their website everyday until I get it
i know that i was complaining that the naked smoky had B- as a rating but in my defense it was bc all the other naked ones had a better grade… anyway i love this one! i would gladly get this over the vice4! so colorful.
I like this one more than Vice 4!
Really bummed about 6 shadows being another palettes. Assuming I have them all which is really too bad cuz this is beautiful
Aww!
Beautiful, with all of these eyeshadows you can easily recreate most of the Nars eye duos!
You could!
This looks so beautiful, especially the layout as others have mentioned, but I already have four of the shades… all the blues plus voodoo. Being a UD junkie makes it difficult to not have repeats, lol. Do you think this would still be worth the money?
I think it would still be worth the money, since the palette is less than the cost of four UD eyeshadows!
I really love the colors in this palette but I feel like I have a lot of shades like this already. I’ve been trying to stop buying anything that’s too close to what I already have.
Buuuuttttt… I love that the packaging is reusable and that the shadows can be removed. Ugh, I’m such a sucker for packaging.
Tough decision ahead!
I like this, but 3 repeats from the Vice 2?! Seriously? It also might as well be 4 because Omen is so similar to Vice 2’s Betrayal. Flashback looks very similar to Fishnet (which I have). Meh. Bummer, I’ve been wanting to buy a colorful palette but this just isn’t the one. Maybe I’ll just finally give into the Electric Palette.
I believe the intent was repromoting a lot of favorites/bestsellers, actually!
I need this more than i need the vice 4, i think. Oh who am i kidding, i need them both, haha! Urban decay is killing it with these palettes!!
lol!
Ugh do I was Vice 4, Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca, or this??
Sorry, I haven’t tried Kat Von D, so I really couldn’t say!
Beautiful eye looks!
Thanks, Pearl! 🙂
Bought it this morning at Sephora.com
I’m so excited!!! Can’t wait to receive it yay!!!
Yay!
I love it. Very much like their 15th Anniversary Palette. But it’s not exclusive to UD, in fact it’s already available on Sephora now!
When they sent me info, they said it was exclusive to their site!
Siiiigh.. Ok fine, I bought it. I don’t have any colorful shadows as I’m more of a neutral girl, but I figured that I need this to expand my collection lol.
lol! Hope you love it ;D
I think you have sold me on this palette and I think I will get the Vice 4 as well! I can’t bare to wait another month though for this palette. I’ve already decided since I live in NZ if I can’t get it off the UD website I’ll get it when it is released in Australia. Haha yes I’ll probably be paying horrendous shipping but it will totally be worth it
I hope you can get it, Amee!
I initially wasn’t going to get this, but decided to pull the trigger! I’m so glad I did! I just got it in the mail and I’m in LOOOOOVE! Could you please do some sort of tutorial on that blue look? It looks amazing!
Apply Protest to the inner third of the lid, then Daybreak to the middle of lid, then Prank into the crease and blend above, then pat on Junkie on the outer lid, and finally Deep End with a small rounded crease brush buffed into the crease!
I already got the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palette since I didn’t know about this palette. Are they different enough to have both and be worth it or are the colors pretty similar?
They’re pretty difference just by virtue of finish to me!
It is beautiful ??❤️???
Yay!
What happened to this palette releas date❓ It is said to be released on Oct. 20 2015❗️ This palette has disappeared off of the UrbanDecay.com website and all other websites❗️ Christine do you know anything about it?
I emailed Urban Decay at 7:30AM PST but haven’t heard back yet.
Thank you so much for your reply. I was really looking forward to getting this on their release date.
I am honestly surprised UD didn’t throw in a black of any sort into this palette. I’m kind of relieved though – it left room for one more colored shade :).
The 20th is here…. The palette is not ???
I called urban decay twice and they said that the palette isn’t launching today and they don’t j know when it will launch. Then they laid the blame with the beauty bloggers for supposedly inventing a date.
I emailed Urban Decay at 7:30AM PST but haven’t heard back yet.
I was told directly from Urban Decay’s PR department that Urban SPectrum was launching on urbandecay.com and in their store on 10/20, and the press release listed: “Urban Spectrum Eyeshadow Palette (SRP $55) is available exclusively at urbandecay.com.”
I am so annoyed with Urban Decay right now. How is it possible that everyone got the “made up” 10/20 date? I feel they messed up the launch date.
Where was this supposed to be available? I’m looking on the Urban Decay site where it was supposed to be exclusive and don’t see it. Yet reading comments I see some folks got it over a month ago at Sephora. Darn, really wanted to surprise my daughter with this one at Christmas.

Sobbing at this update. But at least I can stop refreshing now.
On the up side (even if I have to invent one), that gives me more time to budget for it and makes room for other holiday purchases. I still want it ~real bad, though.
I wish I had better news 🙁
I hear you, Evie! The past 2 days have me super upset with Urban Decay for pulling the SAME crap that they did last year with the Vice LTD Palette. Once was enough! Two years in a row is horrible business practice and or management.
I do still want to buy this palette, but next year, I think I’ll be paying more attention to other brands instead of UD, seeing how they mangle their holiday collection releases.
Omen looks like Urban Decay’s eyeshadow in Tonic
There are similarities!
Junkie was already into the first Vice Palette, wasn’t it?
It is a repeat!
Any news on this spectrum palette being released in 2016 ??
This is now back at Sephora, Christine, and was re-marketed as “Can’t take my eyes off hue”. I finally got mine today after salivating at the reviews in September and the disappointment of UD not releasing it last year. So happy with my purchase, the quality was really good, buttery and I like it better than the Vice Reloaded XX.
Yep! I posted about it last weekend 😀
