Eyeshadow comes in multiple forms—the most basic being powder. You can get this from our Eyeshadow Singles and Eyeshadow Palettes. There are also cream, gel, and liquid eyeshadows, which give you flexibility of application and more options when it comes to creating a variety of looks. You can actually use our All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray to turn any of our powder eyeshadows into a liquid shadow or liner—it’s like magic. We also love mixing some 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil or any of our Eyeshadows with Eyeshadow Primer Potion to create a cream eyeshadow or liner.

It primarily consists of color pigments, but it totally varies based on the formula. Check the ingredients to learn more.

At Urban Decay, we believe wearing eyeshadow is a way to express your personality. We have different products for every mood, from neutral mattes and satins for everyday to super-shimmery and glittery eyeshadows for more dramatic moments. If you’re just getting started with eyeshadow, we recommend one of our versatile palettes, like Naked3 and Naked Reloaded. Each comes with 12 shades, which will let you experiment and play with different colors and techniques.
