urban Decay UD Jean-Michel Basquiat. I’m wearing the Gold Griot Eye palette on my lids, Gallery blush palette on my cheeks as well as exhibition Lipstick on my lips.
If you’ve ever been stuck in a makeup rut, I’m telling you, the new urban Decay UD Jean-Michel Basquiat collection will kick you outta that funk like that. *snaps*

“Art as makeup. makeup as art.”

That’s the tagline for the collection, which is offered now (sort of, however more on that in a minute). as well as the collection is a work of art. I think it’s incredible. This is some of the best — the best — makeup urban Decay has ever done. Like, every single thing in this collection makes me want to paint my face in a myriad of different ways.

But let me back up juuust a bit…

Urban Decay UD Jean-Michel Basquiat: already getting difficult to find, however it IS still available

Sadly, urban Decay UD Jean-Michel Basquiat is restricted edition, as well as folks are losing their minds over it! — so the items are already getting difficult to to discover on the UD website. A great deal of the pieces are sold out, however you can still discover most of them (for now) online at Ulta, Sephora, Macy’s as well as Nordstrom.

If you ever shop Macy’s, they’re running a 10% off promotion on urban Decay products online using code “FRIEND” (I’m not sure exactly how long it will last, though).

Who was Jean-Michel Basquiat?

I recognized the name before I’d started looking into this collection, however I didn’t understand much at all about him or his art. He’s deceased now. He was an artist from new York best known for his graffiti as well as his use of mixed media as well as color. Wende Zomnir, the chief innovative officer as well as co-founder of urban Decay, is as well as has been a big fan for years.

Talk about bad-@ss paintings/palettes

Urban Decay collaborated with the Basquiat estate on the products as well as got permission to use his name as well as artwork on the palettes, which look like works of art irrespective of the actual makeup in them!

The packaging even feels like an art canvas, as well as that’s actual Basquiat artwork on them, both inside as well as out. Oh, as well as UD even added mounting holes to them on the back so you can hang them on your walls if you’d like.

That’s just neat, isn’t it?

Details!
Lipsticks
This is high-end makeup

The coolness element as well as interest to detail are incredible, however they wouldn’t mean much without great makeup.

Åh! as well as about that? Oh, my gawd! I can’t think of anything I’ve ever seen from urban Decay that has impressed me this much. Yeah, I mean, they’ve done epic things many times before, like the naked palettes, for sure, however this is next-level sh*t.

I used the neutral-heavy Gold Griot palette a few times between last Friday as well as last weekend, as well as every time I touched it, I thought, “What IS this? Am I using Dolce & Gabbana?”

It’s that caliber quality. quickly up there with Dolce, Armani as well as Chanel.

Same with the blush palette, Tenant eyeshadow palette as well as the lipsticks. Satin sheets feel like sandpaper next to the softness of these microscopic grains of powder, as well as butter feels like trail mix next to the smoothness of these lipsticks.

Running my brush across the eyeshadows barely kicks up any type of dust, as well as fallout? Seriously, what’s that?!? I’ve barely noticed any type of (very little for urban Decay). as well as the blending? simple as 1-2-3.

The powders as well as blushes are likewise potently pigmented.

Even the lipsticks! You only need one swipe to totally cover your lips with long-lasting, beautiful color, as well as they aren’t a bit drying.

Oh, as well as did I mention that the eye, cheek as well as lip colors go together like hummus as well as pita chips? You might do an infinite number of looks with this collection.

That said, the eyeliners are touchy

Det er det eneste. Likevel, jeg elsker anatomi, den rødlige brune eyeliner, som er som en reddersversjon av Mac Costa Riche, men jeg er ikke så gal om neon miljøvennlig postpunk, så vel som blå levende, i hvert fall når jeg bærer dem på deres egen. De trenger litt finagling, som ved å sette dem på toppen av en hvit base for å hjelpe dem, være alt de kan være.

Jeg tror de kan blande med mine undertoner, så vel som det får dem til å se litt funky, men de viser sine sanne, nydelige farger på toppen av en hvit base.

Dommen

Dette er en av de samlingene jeg skal huske for alltid. Jeg forstår det. Det er episk, ikke bare når det gjelder kvalitet, men når det gjelder nøyaktig hvordan fargene jobber sammen, emballasjen, alt.

Jeg tar det et skritt videre. Jeg tror dette er UDs beste samling noensinne. Hvis du hopper over det, kan du gråte glitrende tårer, siden dette er en av de samlingene som lever opp til sprøytenarkomanen.
