Urban Decay Summer Nights Eyeshadows
The Urban Decay Summer Nights Eyeshadows are here! As you know, I’m an eyeshadow fiend, so when I found out UD was releasing 8 new shades I was excited. Most of these shades are duotones, which I love. Make sure you don’t miss the beautiful Afterglow Blushes or Revolution Lipglosses! You can also weigh in on whether you love or hate the new Primer Potion update!

Where to Buy (launches April 15)
UrbanDecay.com, later at Sephora, Ulta, Macys and Nordstroms
Price
$18 for .05 oz.
Tonic
lilac with blue shift
My Take
lilac with soft turquoise blue shift, very similar to Asphyxia and Omen, I wish this was brighter.
Backfire
burgundy with purple shift
My Take
burgundy wine, not much shift. burgundy was much needed in the permanent lineup.
Dive Bar
medium blue with pink-purple shift
My Take
midtone blue with strong pink shift
Fireball
peach with pink shift
My Take
peach with pink shift reminds me a bit of OCC Twirl. This is a shade that will help to open your eyes if worn on the inner lid
Sideline
gold with green shift
My Take
gold with golden-green shift
Lounge
brick red with green shift (this is a classic UD color and a big fan favorite)
My Take
red-toned brown with turquoise green shift. You may own a lot of colors like this but you will love this formula the best.
Riff
brown-nude matte with floating micro sparkle
My Take
orange-toned warm brown, I don’t really see the micro-sparkle show up when swatched. This reminds me of Too Faced Peanut Butter from the Semi-Sweet palette.
Beware
warm brown matte (originally from the Theodora palette, see swatches)
My Take
warm brown matte
I do wish that one of the two browns was more neutral or cool toned.
Row 1 – Beware – Tonic – Dive Bar – Sideline
Row 2 Riff – Backfire – Fireball – Lounge
These are beautiful eyeshadows and they’re quite pigmented. I do wish that Tonic was either brighter or deeper in color, since it’s very similar to Asphyxia. Backfire didn’t really seem to have much of a duochrome, it’s really just a burgundy shade. I DO think this shade was missing from the permanent lineup so it’s a welcome addition in my book. While I really like the texture of Beware (see an old tutorial featuring Beware here), I do wish UD had chosen a neutral or cool toned shade in its place since Riff is warm and orangey. I love Twirl and Dive Bar to bits. While a lot of companies have shades like Lounge, the UD single eyshadow formula is hard to beat. They’re pigmented and easy to blend. So pretty!

What do you think of the new Urban Decay Summer Nights Eyeshadows? See any must haves?
Sideline and Lounge look like dupes for the Kat Von D shadows in Devotion and On the Road. Backfire could be a dupe for Love Letter, and Divebar could be a dupe for Stockholm, but I don’t have those two.
I didn’t end up trying those eyeshadows from KVD so I can’t say if they’re similar or not, but I can say that these eyeshadows all have great pigmentation and formula.
Totally going to go buy Backfire!
It’s gorgeous 🙂
So pretty! I really love the purple!
Happy to hear it Laura!
Wow! How pretty are these?? 🙂 They look so different on than in the pots too.
Yeah most of them have a strong duochrome 🙂
I would love to see your makeup supply someday, it must be so extensive! Fun colors
I have a video of the last time I updated it https://phyrra.net/2014/10/eyeshadow-hoard.html
Tonic is something I would definitely wear. With Sephora’s sale coming up it would be a great time to buy it.
I hope it’s on Sephora’s site soon!
Tonic and Fireball WILL be coming home with me!
My first tutorial was with Tonic and I think Fireball will be my second!
I love that there are so many duochromes. Fireball, Dive Bar and Lounge are my favorites.
Me too 🙂
These look so pretty and soo pigmented!
They are! UD did a great job
Fireball looks right up my alley. Great swatches!
Thanks Sam!
Okay – Dive Bar, Lounge and Sideline are definitely my favourites. Such gorgeous colours. Love, love, love.
Me too! So happy with the duotone effect
omg NEED! Tonic is giving me life
It’s gorgeous 🙂
I love all the shades but the Backfire and tonic are my favorite!
Tonic is gorgeous 🙂
Beware and Riff are colours that I could definitely pull off (I’m on a matte kick right now) but I also love Lounge! Awesome swatches!!
Beware is definitely an awesome brown. One of the first browns I think I liked when it first launched.
I think I NEED those….
Yes, yes you do!
Your swatches look so good that I want every one of them! Maybe except for Lounge because Too Faced Pretty Rebel palette has almost exact same shade and I don’t like it all that much!
Fireball! *swoooon* Also loving Backfire and Dive Bar – both of which I think would look amazing smudged into the lower lashline for a pop of color with a neutral eye!
That would be gorgeous!
