Urban Decay Spring 2015
Happy Monday! The Urban Decay Spring 2015 collections will soon be available from all the places you normally get your UD fix. I wanted to share my thoughts on the new releases with you. This is a very picture heavy post.
Urban Decay Spring 2015
The Urban Decay Spring 2015 collection is made up of 4 new Moondust eyeshadows, 10 new Sheer Revolution Lipsticks, 8 new Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealers, 14 new Naked Skin Ultra Definition Powder Foundations and the Mascara Resurrection.
Urban Decay is cruelty free and Leaping Bunny Certified.

I’m an eyeshadow fiend so I’ve got the Moondust eyeshadows up first. These are glittery eyeshadows. To prevent fallout, spritz products like e.l.f. Studio Makeup Mist & Set or UD’s All Nighter Spray on your eyeshadow brush, then apply the Moondust. Or, use UD Bondage on top of your eyeshadow primer to lock in the sparkles for all day wear.
All eyeshadows are swatched on Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer Potion with Urban Decay Bondage on top so that I could bring out their 3-D qualities.
Cosmic – metallic white with iridescent 3-D sparkle and shift (reminds me of Fyrinnae Unicorn, looks like a metallic white with pink and blue sparkles)
Solstice – metallic pink-red with green 3-D sparkle and shift (looks more pink with turquoise blue shift to me)
Ether – light purple with pink-blue 3-D sparkle and shift (looks like light purple with a grey base and pink and and blue sparkles. I feel like you can see hints of gold too)
Scorpio – matte black with gold 3-D sparkle (reminds me of an amped up version of Urban Decay Cobra, a favorite shade of mine that was discontinued)
I tried to capture the color shift for you in pictures but I think the video does a better job showing off the colors. See the other Moondust shades here.
I wore all 4 of these shades in a look. I used TFSI eyeshadow base and UD Bondage to hold the eyeshadows in place. After 7.5 hours I had very minimal creasing in my crease (you can see it in the video) but my eyeshadow was fine elsewhere.
Next up is the Urban Decay Sheer Revolution lipsticks. Think of these as ultra moisturizing tinted lipsticks combining the nourishing ingredients of the Ultra Nourishing lipglosses with the awesome formula of the Revolution lipsticks. (See the Naked Ultra Nourishing Glosses and the Revolution Lipsticks). The Sheer Revolution Lipsticks will be $20 each.
I used lip balm before swatching. I used coconut oil and lip balm in between swatching. My bare lips are on the left. The Sheer Revolution Lipsticks are on the right.
I personally like Sheer Anarchy, Sheer Streak, and Sheer Obsessed the best on me. I don’t know what to think about Sheer Walk of Shame.
I absolutely LOVE the purple packaging! So happy to see purple packaging from Urban Decay. I hope to see it in a lipstick color next!
Urban Decay has come out with two new additions to the Naked Skin collection. First is the Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer. Urban Decay says that this is a liquid concealer that will meld with your skin to cover imperfections without making you look covered up. They say you can just keep building without worry of it caking or settling into fine lines.
The concealer is $28 for .16 oz.
There are 8 shades available:
Fair – neutral
Light – warm
Light – neutral
Medium Light – neutral
Medium – neutral
Medium Dark – warm
Medium Dark – neutral
Dark – neutral
I have 3 of the shades to show you.
In this image, which I haven’t retouched, you can see where my chin and in between my eyes looks a bit cakey after 8 hours. I first applied primer, then the Naked Skin Ultra Definition Powder Foundation in Fair neutral. Then I applied concealer on my chin, between my eyes under my eyes and on my forehead. I set it with the powder foundation and finished with Nyx Dewy Spray to make it appear less matte. It didn’t settle into the fine lines under my eyes and it was easy to blend out.
I really like the concealer, especially since it doesn’t settle into lines under the eyes. What do you think of it?
The second addition to the Naked Skin collection is the new Naked Skin Ultra Definition Powder Foundation. This finely milled formula is supposed to meld with your skin, blur fine lines and wrinkles and be ultra forgiving. I think this is pretty accurate, too.
The foundation is $36 for .31 oz.
The packaging is gorgeous, but prone to finger prints. It comes in a really cute purple flower bag. There’s a large mirror inside the compact, as well as a dual-sided sponge. The sponge that comes with this foundation is special. UD says the top side with the UD logo is for applying the foundation wet. The bottom flocked side is for buffing and blending.
I’ve got Fair neutral on only on the left side of the picture. The right side is bare skin with primer on it. You can see the imperfections in my skin – a couple of zits and hyperpigmentation spots. You can also see that Fair neutral is slightly darker than my skintone.
I feel like Fair neutral is slightly darker than I prefer (you can see I blended it down my neck a bit but my neck is still lighter, but overall the shade match isn’t bad.
Once it’s on my entire face, I think it looks pretty good. The foundation on primer wore for well for 8 hours. To me, when worn dry, this is light to medium coverage. If applied wet it would be more medium to full coverage. I applied it with the Makeup Geek Face Buffer Brush and UD recommends the Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush. UD says that you can also, of course, apply this on top of the UD Naked Skin Beauty Balm for a perfect skin look.
As mentioned above, UD claims the foundation shades are very forgiving and I think that seems accurate. The powder does do a nice job of melding with skin.
Last but certainly not least is the Urban Decay Mascara Resurrection. In the video I give a demo with this product and I think it works really well!
UD Says
The ultimate do-over, this clear refreshing serum brings your mascara back to life so that you can keep piling it on. Like a killer lash comb in liquid form, this softens, revives and separates mascara and lets you apply another coat. If you botched your mascara or didn’t pull it through well, comb Resurrection through it to refresh and then reapply.
The packaging on this tube is so gorgeous! It’s purple with a glitter ombre at the bottom. It’s really ingenious.

What do you think of the Urban Decay Spring 2015 collection? Eager to try any of it? Let me know!
This is probably the best post to ever exist… so many beautiful swatches on such a perfect human being. I am obsessed with the shadows.. and basically everything!! I wish I had money for Urban Decay..
I have been eyeing the Urban Decay Moondust eyeshadows for awhile now. As soon as I saw Solstice swatched I was smitten. However, I am a poor college student and I can’t spend $20 on a single eyeshadow. Do you know of any dupes or similar shades that are a cheaper option?
Great swatches and thanks for sharing/posting. Urban Decay seems to never disappoint with their great quality.
Solstice reminds me of my favorite discontinued Urban Decay eyeshadow Lounge. I can’t wait to swatch the new Moondust and Sheer lipsticks! Thank you for the beautiful swatches and review!
You and I have such a similar skin tone I’ll really have to swatch that. Of course I want it but wish they’d have made it a little lighter.
Phew! What an epic post 😀 I’m so excited by this collection: I love powder foundation, I’m in the market for concealers, I love a good sheer lipstick, a sparkly eyeshadow, purple anything, and UD in general. *hyperventilates* At the very least, I think I will pick up Sheer Rapture – I’m very glad this is all permanent stuff too, so I have all the time in the world to choose (and save, hah!).
You look just beautiful in all of these pictures!! Someday I will find an angle or something where I look human in properly lit, more or less face on photos. Until that day, I have you all for inspiration 😉
I know! You do look SO gorgeous in these photos! Probably one of my all time favorite looks on you! @phyrra:disqus
These shadows are gorgeous!! You look beautiful in each and every picture here.
How does the concealer compare to the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer? Do you have an ingredient list you can share?
I don’t have the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, so I can’t compare the two. I’ll see if I can find the packaging for the ingredient listing for the concealer.
I only tried the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer a couple times, but if you are going to go NARS, I would suggest the NARS Immaculate Complexion Concealer-their original one, I like it so much better. The texture is wonderful, it’s dense but still moisturizing and it doesn’t crease. It’s my go-to. I didn’t like UD’s original stick concealer but this one seems MUCH better!
See I am on the other end of that. I think their stick concealer is horrendous: offers zero coverage, creases instantly, won’t stay put and doesn’t have any staying power when you pile on powder to try to set it, and doesn’t blend well at all.
Yeah I totally understand what you’re saying. I think it just must really depend on someone’s skin type. I feel the same way you do with the UD original Stick Concealer, I had the same problem, it wouldn’t stay put and it would crease up immediately. I think this one might be a lot better though.
Yay you made my night and whole Monday with this post! I kept waiting to see what they would come out with for Spring and I’m very interesting in trying everything. Firstly, you look gorgeous in all these photos! I agree I think those shades are super flattering on you too. I think I’ll pick up the Liar shade for sure as well as Streak. I was confused by the Walk of Shame too even though I’m a nude lover. I think for a smoky eye it would be nice. I really love the look of the Scorpio eyeshadow too! I’m looking forward to trying the new complexion products as their current ones didn’t really work for me but these look really, really nice! I had the same problem as you did with shades being too dark with their current products-the UD Beauty Balm is too dark, and I bought it as a primer and it changed the foundation shade too much. Their stick concealer I didn’t really like as it creased way too much so I’ve been waiting for them to come out with a new one. The old one was also a bummer with the whole sharpening the plastic thing! Of course their color products I always love. I will def. try this concealer and the powder foundation even though I’m in love with my COVER FX I always like an alternative! So overall very excited about it!
Thank you so much!
You look so pretty in these pictures! 🙂
I love the lipsticks ! & deff want to get a hold of the concealers.
So many goodies, so little moolah, lol! I love your ‘do, very refreshing!
Love all the lippies and they all look great on you! I’m def going to pick some up.
Those sheer lippies are calling my name 🙂 I think I will pick up a few.
Oooh, the eye shadows are beautiful! I might have to check some of those out.
Very tempting. I will end up with the concealer and about 2 of these lipsticks. I’ll be coming back to this post once they are out.
Those lippies sound like heaven in a tube and I’m intrigued by the concealer. Wonder how it would do under my eyes… Hm. Maybe I need samples.
This concealer looks way better than their old one, which was a stick concealer and creased too much! It was always a bummer to sharpen because it’s plastic, even with their sharpener. When you sharpened it it would get ruined. So this one looks much better. Probably go a shade lighter than you think, their complexion products tend to run a tad dark.
Agreed, I think it is much better 🙂
Ok awesome, glad you think so! I’m always looking for a good one. Love that it didn’t settle into lines! I always have my no fail NARS Immaculate in Vanilla to back me up though 🙂
The concealer will be awesome under the eyes. It didn’t settle into my fine lines.
Ah so much UD goodness!! Those concealers look really awesome, and your skin is flawless! 🙂
I really like them! A+
Great collection. I like the Sheers much more than I thought I would. Sheer Walk of Shame is the only dud, IMO. The Mascara Resurrection is an interesting idea.
The Mascara Resurrection is awesome
Love the eye look you did Phyrra – the colours really suit you and look amazing. I am not sure about the lipstick colours on me. Shame looks OK. I really like stronger colours.
Thank you so much Genevieve! I’m with you, I like stronger colours 😉
You look so so beautiful. I’m loving F Bomb and those shadows looked Meh at firt but man…I may need to scoop up a few of them.
Thank you! Yeah I think the shadows are awesome
While I really want to live in your makeup collection, I am glad that I am not dying over the new Spring collection, I do like Solstice and Ether but I am not chomping at the bit for the lipsticks/tinted balms. The concealer looks decent but I do have similar problems with you as since I am SUPER fair so many too dark on me.
Definitely check out Fair Neutral in person. It didn’t crease at all under my eyes, so the formula is really good. If it’s too dark, check out OCC Y0 or R0, or Cover FX N-Xtra Light 🙂
I need to try out the other Naked Skin items. I Iove the foundation.
Give the concealer a try!
phew, glad I’m not feeling any of the Revolution Sheer lippies! what is the purple lipstick you are wearing in the later pics? Really nice!
It’s Fyrinnae Matte Liquid Lipstick in Delicious 🙂
I was excited for you that there’s another Walk Of Shame product…but it didn’t translate quite as well as a lippie, huh. What a great Spring release!
I really like the eyeshadows
What an amazing spring collection! I love the Revolution lipsticks but not sure I want sheer. I love the shadows on you and wish I could wear ’em. Those concealers are calling to me!
I’m not a sheer lipstick person myself but I understand that some women really adore them 🙂
Oh, I’m gonna need a concealer too.
Yep, the concealer is nice!
Here’s what I think of Sheer WOS… Zzzzzzzzz. But I’m LOVING Anarchy, Rapture and Lady Flower… May need to jump on that bandwagon. Thanks for sharing!
No problem!
I LOVE your hair like this so damn much! It looks AMAZING! You could totally chop it off into a style like this. Fierce! <3
Aww thanks! I’m definitely not chopping it off 🙂 I’m still growing it out.
Hi Phyrra! Thanks for this post, the new offerings from UD look lovely. Any idea if any of the products are vegan? Thanks!
No idea, waiting to hear from PR if any are vegan. My guess would be the foundation and concealer are vegan and possibly the sheer lipsticks (since so many of the Revolution lipsticks are vegan. I will message you once I hear 🙂
Hi Jennifer! I reached out to my PR rep who says that she believes all of Spring is vegan. This fits with what I’ve seen for the Naked Skin complexion products. Also, all of the Moondust eyeshadows (except the purple shade) are currently vegan. Hope this helps 🙂
Hi Phyrra, thanks for your prompt response on this, and I am so happy to hear everything is vegan (except the purple shadows, which I expect). Hooray!! Thanks!
The shadows are lovely.. will have to check out Ether, Scorpio & Soltice. Kind of curious about the concealers as well.. I’ve yet to venture into UD skin/base products.
I like the concealer and it blended out nicely.
Ohh those shadows are pretty!
Agreed 🙂
Scorpio… the sheers… the mascara… just sign me up for all of the things.
Haha! Glad you like the eyeshadows. Imagine the smoky eye with Scorpio!
Solstice O.o
I know, right?
WOW!! So pretty!
Yay happy you like 🙂
I really want those eye shadows!!
Why weren’t these around when we went shopping?! Oh yeah, they’re not out yet. I blame my cosmic bad shopping luck for that day. The stars weren’t lined up.
Aww
I adore them 🙂
Ether and Ladyflower are SO gorgeous!! Thank you for all the great pics, and swatches. The powder looks really lovely! I can’t wait to try the concealers too. This is a great spring collection!
You’re welcome!
I like the concealer addition. will be buying that. And one eyeshadow atleast.
Which eyeshadow? 🙂
I want at least two of those lipsticks, Ladyflower and Rapture. They all look great. Gorgeous swatches.
Thank you!
I really love the eye look you did! Those shadows are so pretty. I want the Ladyflower shade just for the name, although I like the color too. Haha
Thanks Amy! I think the Ladyflower shade is also in that LE Lipstick set that UD had for the holidays.
I loveeeeeeeeee the look of that concealer. I think the Light Neutral would look great on me!
I bet it would!
I love sheer liar on you! I know you’ve mentioned trouble with finding good nudes (I am about the same skintone as you, and it’s nearly impossible!), but I really like that on you
-meghan / breatheonbeat
Thank you Meghan! I usually avoid true nudes and do the MLBB type shades with colors like UD Native. They seem to be more forgiving for me.
