Number one, Urban Decay is one of my favorite cosmetics brands and I trust all of their products to not rip my face off (this actually happens, if it's not high quality, my face WILL fall off). When my face is still attached, every time I play with UD, my love for the brand grows and grows. Primers, shadows, Lip Junkie glosses, Naked Skin foundation, Naked Flushed cheek palette, Super Saturated Lips, Razor-sharp Powder...all my loves.
Number two, it is so amazingly easy to use a setting spray. In general, after your makeup is applied, close your eyes and spray a quick "T" and "X" across your face to keep your makeup looking at the end of the night like it did when freshly applied. Seriously, this happens...it's amazing. UD makes three different setting sprays for different skin types: De-Slick for oilier skins, All-Nighter for normal to combination skins, and Chill for drier skins. I said "in general" before re: application because the De-slick can also be applied to clean skin prior to makeup application to help control oil throughout the day. How great is that?!?!?!?
Number three, All-nighter isn't just for setting your makeup anymore. I use it to wet my shadow brush before I apply my eye shadow to not only give the great pigment payoff of using a wet brush, but also to stick that shadow to my lid like my glue gun sticks rhinestones to EVERYTHING! Picked up this amazing trick from UD makeup artist, Christopher Allgeier (he's fab). I die for eye shadow and can't even handle the fabulousness of learning ways to wear it differently!! UD shadows are incredible anyway, but applying them this way is like transforming a CZ into a diamond!
One last final tip, I'm not saying this, but if you happen to have some cheap shadows hiding in a box where no one else can see them, wetting your brush prior to application will give you the best pigment payoff possible. That is a tongue twister if ever there was one...and I used the term "pigment payoff" twice in this post...I don't know how I feel about that.
