Urban Decay Roadstripe Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as an “iridescent white with blue-violet shift.” It’s a cool white with an iridescent sheen that shifts from blue to cool purple. The texture was soft, lightly dusty, a little thinner than the average Urban Decay eyeshadow, but it didn’t sheer out too much when applied to bare skin. It is a shade that benefits greatly from a primer, though, as it becomes more buildable and sits better on the skin. Alone, the color lasted for seven hours before fading.

Urban Decay Pallor Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “frosted lavender with gray shift.” It’s a muted, grayish lavender with more neutral undertones and a soft sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation paired with a thinner, lightly dusty consistency that sheered out very easily on the lid, so it was hard to get true-to-pan coverage and intensity without a good base underneath. I noticed fading after seven hours with this shade. Natasha Denona Lavender/Gold and Silver (3) (P, $28.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). BH Cosmetics Foil Eyes #2 (PiP, ) is more shimmery, brighter (90% similar). Giorgio Armani Rose Platinum (16) (LE, $39.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar).

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).

Urban Decay Frostbite Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “frosted deep blue with multicolored micro-shimmer.” It’s a blackened navy blue with a purplish edge paired with multi-colored sparkle. The sparkle doesn’t seem to be as large as Urban Decay’s micro-glitter, but it is noticeable and looser from the base, so I get some fall out during initial application and very minor additional fall out over time. The texture was on the drier side, but it was workable and applied best for me when I patted it onto the lid and used a feathery brush to blend just the edges out. The base color wore well for eight hours before creasing on me. Lisa Eldridge Swansong (P, $16.00) is less shimmery (95% similar). Sydney Grace Absolute Zero (LE, $6.25) is more shimmery (95% similar). MAC Naval Blue (P, $21.00) is lighter (95% similar). Sephora Astral Blue (383) (P, $9.00) is warmer (95% similar).

Urban Decay Plague Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “deep red-purple with blue shift.” It’s a medium-dark purple with warm, reddish undertones with a very strong, bluish-violet shimmer that gives it a cooler tone overall. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and easy to work with on bare skin, as it was very pigmented and blendable. The color started to crease after eight hours on me. Fyrinnae Because Cats (P, $6.75) is more shimmery, darker, more muted (95% similar). Too Faced Villain (LE, $16.00) is lighter (95% similar).

Urban Decay Vapor Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “pale pearlescent silver.” It’s a bright, silvery-white with neutral-to-cool undertones and a frosted finish. It had good pigmentation with a soft, blendable texture that wasn’t too soft or too firm in the pan, so I didn’t have any excess product kicked up in the pan but still found the color easy to apply to bare skin. This shade wore well for eight hours before creasing. Make Up For Ever D124 Crystalline White (DC, $21.00) is brighter (95% similar). MAC Ebony Blend #1 (LE, ) is less shimmery (95% similar).

Formula Overview

Urban Decay Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.05 oz.) is powder eyeshadow that is supposed to be long-wearing, richly pigmented, and blendable. In general, the performance varies from decent to exceptional with their satin, shimmer, and duotone finishes performing better on average, while the matte and sparkle finishes can vary. The wear ranges from six to nine hours (without primer) and longer with most primers. The one finish that you’ll want to take note of is sparkle, which often has micro-glitter that doesn’t bind as well with the base, so there can be fall out. The texture of Urban Decay eyeshadows is softer, less firmly pressed, so some shades have some excess powder kicked up in the pan but are often very blendable on the skin. Their permanent shade range tends to be higher-performing than some of the shades found in limited edition palettes as well.
