Urban Decay

I get the feeling that Urban Decay is marketed towards a younger audience. I am 55 and like most of the things that are being presented, but the show feels like it is for a younger audience. I think someone my age can pull it off, and I have never been one that went by age on anything except some clothes that I can't pull off, so are there any older customers watching and purchasing?

I’m in my early 60’s & love some of their makeup. I don’t necessarily use the All Nighter Spray, but do use their eye liner pencils. I don’t use their Moondust eyeshadows but do like their matte shades.

Oh sister! I don't want to ruin it for you, but I'm 68 and bought several things from that show. I bought two lip sticks, the eye lid primer and the eyelash primer. 55 is young, buy what you want from the line, you will look fabulous.

I am 50 and I have been wearing Urban Decay for about 5 or so years. They have colors that are natural looking in both eyeshadow and lipstick. I love the pigment in the eyeshadows and that they last! They do have some colors that are funky and fun, so I love that they cater to all ages! You wont be dissapointed The eyelid primer and the all nighter setting spray truly work!

@Gr8tfulsoul, @blackhole99, @JustJazzmom

I am so thrilled that you all think like I do! I love the palettes they have and the primer and just about all of it. I am happy that so many of you know that age is just a number and you are bold, beautiful and strong women!!!

I didn't purchase anything. Things sold out so quickly and I didn't know enough about the line and products to place an order. Although I'm trying to simplify my makeup, I was interested in two items I don't currently use - the eye shadow primer and the finishing spray. My eyelids must be very oily because eye makeup disappears quickly. I went out shopping today, wasn't out long and by the time I got home it looked like I had no eye shadow or liner on. If you use the primer and finishing spray do you recommend them?

Thanks!

I watched & I’m 52. Finally a line that has BOLD colors. I’ve NEVER been one to follow natural trends; they’re so boring. I ordered the mascara/primer duo, but will order the eye shadow palette directly from Urban Decay. It’s “coming soon”, is less expensive than QVC & has free shipping. I’ve signed up to be alerted when it’s available.

@SurferWife and all. Check Macy s for UD. Right now a couple palettes are 1/2 off. Also some eyeliner sets. I just glanced quick. There are always good holiday sets on eyeliner and lipstick.

Thanks @Suebdoo! I’m going into town tomorrow for a pedicure. I may stop by Macy’s and check out UD in real life. I’ve never looked at any of it before.

Their eye shadow primers are nice, but their De-slick makeup setting spray is HG for my oily skin.

I'm 54 and I love the Urban Decay lip stick and lip glosses...I would give the product a try...I wear a shade of lipstick called shadowhawk and it is amazing...yes the color is a little bold but I decided to come out of my comfort zone...I discovered Urban Decay via the Q but purchased on the Urban Decay website because there were more color choices, sales, and clearance items!

Urban Decay is just another L'Oreal owned "prestige brand. Some of it is nice but some of it is really glittery. I've not been interested in their eyeshadow palettes at all as they are mostly all glittery. No great prices on individual items at all either.

For those of you who are interested in Urban Decay, check your local Nordstrom Rack. There are lip kits (lipliner and lipstick) for under $15. Lipstick for under $10, and a few eyeshadow palettes for good prices, too.

I have seen a ton of Urban Decay lip palettes and lipsticks with glitter that aren't selling very well at Winners in Canada. Winners is part of TJX so I would think that Americans are seeing these same items at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls. A lot of it has been on the shelves for at least 2 months so that Winners finally put it on the clearance shelves.

For fans of the all nighter setting spray, Ulta has two 4oz bottles for $39

I don't think makeup is sold by "age" group, but by personality.

I love UD. I have been using it for years. I am 57.

I love the bold, pigmented colors. You can adjust them to suit yourself.

Just a touch of color. Just a touch of shine.

They have a lot of great products.

I've never gotten the impression that Urban Decay is geared towards a "younger" crowd. I agree with the other posters that there's really no age group on makeup brands. I like the brand and glad it's available at QVC! I'm looking forward to reading the reviews.

@this is my nic Especially if you have oily lids, a primer is necessary. The plus for everyone is that it evens out and removes redness so shadows appear their actual color. Many lines have shadow primer.

I watched the show and didn’t buy anything. Things sold out so fast, I don’t like feeling pressured to jump on something immediately or I’ll miss out. Also I have the foundation in 1.5 which they didn’t offer. The foundation on its own is $40, they were selling the foundation with the brush for $52 ( brush is $32). While this is an exceptional value it is misleading for Shawn to say we’re throwing in the brush for free, it’s not free, it’s $12.

I enjoy and watch most makeup shows. I pick and choose which products I feel are appropriate for me. I don’t wear shimmer shadows anymore, so the UD palettes are not for me. I have a lid primer that I’m pleased with now. The big excitement was a new makeup line on Q. So yay for that!
