Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer, DEA .12 oz (3.5 g)

Product Description

DEA - Light-medium
Hide dark circles and blemishes with this creamy formula that dries matte and stays put. Because it's a pencil, it's easy to apply on the run. Skin looks naturally flawless, and perfectly clear.
A concealer in pencil form equals precise application, and less mess - no brush, no dipping your finger into a pot, or squeezing a dollop onto a sponge. Dot on tiny blemishes, or shade in large problem areas (like redness around the nose and chin). The creamy formula blends easily, then dries down to a smudge-free matte finish.
Already full of Vitamin E, 24/7 Concealer also contains a new ingredient called Microsponge - its empty spheres absorb excess oil preventing further breakouts and clogged pores. Even when layered, the formula never looks thick or cakey.
Tip: Use with Grind House Double Barrel Sharpener. Dual chambers are designed to fit the thick barrel of the 24/7 Concealer, AND the standard size 24/7 Glide-On Eye and Lip Pencils.

    One of the best concealers around town4
    This is one of the best multipurpose concealers around, especially for those who have serious dark circles under the eye. I'm a fair skin Asian with yellow undertones and have very serious purple brown undereye circles. I've tried many full coverage concealers from Bobby Brown to Mac but this is by far the best for me. It goes on creamy and sets to a powdery finish. Its easy to blend and you do not need to set it with loose powder. For more staying power, I prime my undereyes with "Too Faced Shadow Insurance" before the concealer. However, do moisturize the eye area first or it can be drying. A little goes a long way or it will cake and crease.

    I've given this product 4 stars because CIA was way too light for me despite the fact that Sephora indicated in their description "light ivory/for fair to light complexion". DEA would have been a better colour. Instead of returning it, I've ordered FBI so that I could mix both shades to get the exact match for my skin tone.

    Also, do invest in an Urban decay sharpener as the nib often breaks everytime I sharpen the pencil.

    All I can say is WOW!5
    Urban Decay's Complexion Primer Potion should be renamed "Miracle in a Tiny Purple Tube." Seriously. It really is THAT good.

    I was hesitant to try this product at first because I'd read very mixed reviews about it. When it arrived in the mail, I was disappointed that the tube was on the small side. Then when I went to apply it for the first time, I freaked out because not only is the tube shaped like a glue bottle, the consistency of the product is kind of gluey as well.

    However, my apprehension dissolved as soon as I rubbed this product onto my face. It's a thicker primer than the ones I've used before, and you have to take a few extra seconds to blend it in really well, but HOLY COW, I could not believe it when I saw what an immediate impact it had on my skin!

    The best way I can explain it is this: I shelled out money to have airbrushed makeup applied for my wedding, and this primer makes me look like I am airbrushed all over again, which I LOVE. My pores are practically nonexistent when I wear this stuff, and foundation glides on super smoothly. My makeup definitely lasts longer when I wear the primer underneath it. (Even my husband noticed a difference, and ladies, we all know that is saying a lot!)

    My only complaint is the primer's hefty price tag...$30 for a one-ounce tube is kind of ridiculous. If I use this primer every single day, I'll be lucky if the tube lasts a month. However, let me reiterate...this stuff is MAGICAL! If I have to shell out $30 per month to look this good, then so be it. I may die broke, but at least I'll look FABULOUS!

    Love it!5
    I love this eyeliner! Its dark, easy to apply and easy to smudge for a smoky look.

    Amazing eye liner.....don't be afraid...try it!!!5
    I started using Urban Decay 24/7 liner after purchasing a "demo" kit. I was completely blown away at the quality of the product and the long-lasting capability. I am a gym rat and I play racquetball...I have yet to have this eyeliner come off even when sweating out completely at the gym. My eye make-up still looks just applied....after all day and a 2 hour trip to the gym. It goes on like velvet....no pulling of your eye....and it can be smudged immediately, just don't wait 30 seconds..or your smudging window of opportunity is gone. Wears amazing. We'll worth every penny! I am never without it now. GREAT colors too. Use them in combination....awesome eyes!

Urban Decay Baked Bronzer For Face and Body, Gilded .35 oz (10 g)

Product Description

Gilded - bronze shimmer w/ veins of gold
Our bronzer's name is a bit of a triple-entendre. First of all, it gives you a nice baked, toasty glow without the threat of skin damage. Second, it's literally baked in an Italian oven on a tiny terra cotta disc for 24 hours, then hand-finished by a factory full of motherly Italian women. The result is an ultra-smooth, sheer-finish bronzer that can be used wet or dry and always goes on streak-free. And third, well, if you don't get the joke, we're just not going to tell you.
Apply dry with a fat brush for a light dusting of summer sun, or use it wet with a sponge for a deeper St. Tropez shade. Because the formula is cooked, not pressed, the powder returns to a micro-fine feel after being wet - without glazing!
Use Baked Bronzer on your face or body. Try using a small wet brush to deliver rich, concentrated color to eyes and lips, too.

    Must have5
    This is simply the best bronzer I have ever had. I use it all year. In the summer I wear it alone and it makes my tan look radiant. In the winter it gives pep to skin giving it a healthy glow.

    "We don't test on animals... how could anyone?"5
    I LOVE Urban Decay products...and this item is no exception! Urban Decay not only an ethical company, but also all their products are awsome!
    I use the baked poweder as a blush and it stays on all day. I just love the color and the lite sparkle. My only disapointment with this product is that it doesn't have a mirror or a sponge.

    baked goodness5
    This little compact of bronzed baked goodness makes your skin glow and slightly sparkle as if you were kissed by the sun.

    Great wearable colors!5
    I really only wanted the green shadow (each color is also sold individually) when I came across this palette. If you are tired of basic neutrals and need to inject some color into your look, this is the way to go. I'm a fair skinned blonde and over 30 but I will say that every color works without making you look like you're trying to relive your teen years. I like to use them wet as a liner along the top eyelashes, but with a light hand, they can work as eyeshadow for day looks too. The shadows are soft, blendable and very saturated. A little goes a long way. They have shimmer but not glitter like some of Urban Decays other colors. Added bonus...it comes with a travel size primer which I was wanting to try anyway but not willing to plunk down the $15 for it. I will after I run out because that stuff is AMAZING. Your eyeshadow WILL NOT BUDGE until you take it off. Great stuff! I've always been a loyal Stila and Lorac user but am finding that more and more Urban Decay is creeping into my makeup kit. Try the glosses too!

    best eyeshadows ever!5
    Urban decay makes the best eyeshadows...and I've tried them all...was so happy when UD came with this kit...it's absolutely beautiful and filled with the best and brightest colors...the texture is great...and it lasts forever even without the primer which is included...the primer is just magic...but I'm saving it for my cheaper eyeshadows since these shadows are bright enough on their own...

    Great colours, great quality!5
    I was an Urban Decay virgin until I bought this pallette. I figured it'd be a nice way to sample the colours and quality, as well as the primer potion I'd heard so much about.

    And now, I'm finding it difficult to go back to any other brand. The shadows have great staying power on their own, but added with the bonus primer potion, I don't even have to pull out my compact during the day to make sure I'm not creased and smudged, or even faded. Once it's there, it's there till you decide to remove it.

    It's incredibly easy to put these shadows on a bit heavy for a bold, vibrant look, or you just brush a little on, for a soft but fun look. Blends seamlessly. I love layering Zero over one of the bright colours for an intense, deep shade. Great for smokey eyes, if you like doing them.

    Even the packaging is nice on this. I've been recommending this product to anyone and everyone who'll listen to me since the day I bought it. If you're considering it, go for it. You'll love it.
