Review: Urban Decay All Nighter & Primer Potion

Urban Decay has been a staple in my makeup design for the last 9 months, & I appreciate the light years they have afforded my skill... you can do a lot of damage with a great product.

I decided that I would see what else they had to offer. Looking in the primer section, I saw a spray I'd overlooked so many other times- their All Nighter spray. This spray is designed to be applied after applying full makeup... which I found weird bc it was the opposite of primer... I guess it had the same concept as hairspray.

I went into Sephora because the Eyeshadow Primer that I received with the Book of Shadows III is on its last leg. I had the um... 'caucasian' shade of ridiculously light beige- the BOS default- so I decided to switch it up & get the bronze one this time something a little closer to my natural color. Upon noticing the new packaging, I noticed that it featured 10% more product included. Score. The eyeshadow primer is amazing. It holds shadow overnight, makes cheap eyeshadow last and makes prestige eyeshadow more vibrant.

Urban Decay All Nighter & Primer Potion

Primer Potion looks amazing alone too!

After hours of wear at work, All Nighter has kept my makeup flawless.

The pictures of my face are after nearly 7 hours of wear. My foundation- the same one I always use & swear by, MAC StudioFix & by now I would've had to reapply twice already. This is not just after 7 hours of wear, but after taking the Mover, the metrobus, & working at the spa in the locker room, running around & getting flushed.

The only thing I've noticed is a little sheen from the oily parts of my combination face. Furthermore, the skin on my face doesn't feel heavy, weighed down or stiff. Sweat hardly effected me. My eyes look completely untouched. That's impressive to me. A small $11 spray bottle will extend the wear of and in turn save my pressed powder. Yay! I wonder how it will stand up against kickball activity though...

Lookbook: I wanna be your superhero

Season Finals for WAKA was no exception for Purple Rain & our crazy costume antics. My brother in law who plays on the team came up with the idea to dress up as superheros & I gotta say for once in life, I agreed with him. My first challenge was the mask since I couldn't see myself ruining & catching in one... & I wanted something very Batgirl & Robin. I decided to create the look with makeup so it would be both vibrant & easy to play in. Enter Urban Decay. superhero makeup - Google Search My inspiration. My team is Purple. That was the basis for color. I also wore blue tights so it was only appropriate to use that as the other color.
