The urban Decay Basquiat Collection: UD’s best Collection ever


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.

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 är det enda. Ändå älskar jag anatomi, den rödbruna eyeliner, som är som en rödversion av Mac Costa Riche, men jag är inte så galen om neon miljövänlig post punk samt blå levande, åtminstone när jag bär dem på deras egen. De behöver lite finagling, som genom att sätta dem på toppen av en vit bas för att hjälpa dem att vara allt de kan vara.

Jag tror att de kan blanda med mina undertoner, liksom det får dem att se lite funky, men de visar sina sanna, vackra färger ovanpå en vit bas.

Detta är en av de samlingar jag kommer att minnas för alltid. Jag förstår det. Det är episkt, inte bara när det gäller kvalitet, men vad gäller hur färgerna arbetar tillsammans, förpackningen, allting.

Jag tar det ett steg längre. Jag tycker att det här är UDs bästa samling någonsin. Om du hoppar över det, kan du gråta glittrande tårar, eftersom det här är en av de samlingar som lever upp till hype.
