What to Get from Urban Decay | Best of the brand

I'm back with day 2 of my "best of" series.  Today I'm talking about Urban Decay. Even though I have a fair amount of products from Urban Decay, it's not a brand that I typically get all that excited about.  I honestly can't tell you why because going through my stash, I re-discovered some gems.The best products from Urban Decay are definitely the eye products (eyeshadows and liners) and lipsticks. Lots of people like the One and Done tinted moisturizer but I just can't find a shade that matches me.  I find that their foundations and concealers don't have the best range of undertones for darker skin tones. The colors run too pink/red to work for me.That being said, Urban Decay makes some classic eyeshadow palettes. In fact, I think that we have them to thank (or blame) for the rise of eyeshadow palettes over single eyeshadows. The Naked palettes totally changed the makeup game and now every single brand has eyeshadow palettes. The Naked range is all about neutral colors and I'm definitely a fan. Urban Decay eyeshadows are smooth and pigmented. They're not quite as creamy as Natasha Denona, but they're still really good. My favorites from the Naked range are the Naked 3 (mauves and pinks) and Naked Heat (reds and oranges).

The Naked Heat palette has all the warm reds and oranges that you'll ever need.

I used that Naked Heat in this tutorial, and I think it's a great palette for summer and fall. The Naked 3 palette is not one that I reach for often, but I think it's one of the better cool-toned / mauve palettes on the market. The shimmers are so pretty and I think there's enough variation in tones that you can get a lot of use out of it.Urban Decay also makes really good eyeliners (both traditional eyeliner and glitter liquid eyeliner). If you like the look of glitter on the eyes but can't be bothered with using actual glitter, you'll love the Heavy Metal Glitter Liner.Lastly, I really really like their lipsticks. Urban Decay makes lipsticks in several different finishes, but I go for either the comfort matte or the cream finish. They are so smooth and extremely pigmented. They feel nice on the lips and last pretty well. My two favorites are Uptight and Fuel.[one_half padding="0 5px 0 5px"][/one_half][one_half_last padding="0 5px 0 5px"][/one_half_last]They're both great nudes, and I pretty much always keep on in my bag at all times.Even though I don't love every single UD product that I've tried, I think their shadows and lip products are great quality. I also love the wide range of shades and finishes that they offer for the eyes and lips. They recently re-released a ton of lip glosses but I have so many glosses that I couldn't justify buying any (at least not yet).What are your favorites from Urban Decay? Let me know if I missed something good in the comments :-).
