The aesthetics of Urban Decay form an absolute cosmetic revolution because of their approach with a drive for wanting to be different and cutting through all the rules set before it. The company Urban Decay was formed in 1996 and soon made news with bold colours, while nothing more controversial or shocking in terms of being raw and so untouched than their formulations would shatter those beauty conventions. Urban Decay is most famous for its Naked palette, which redefined neutral eyeshadow and an extensive line of products ranging from foundations to lipsticks and setting sprays.
How to use Urban Decay Setting Spray
Using Urban Decay setting spray in your makeup enhances its hold and finish; these simple steps guide how you properly use it:
Prep the Skin
Cleaning and moisturizing are the first and best. Clean, well-moisturized skin lets you apply a good foundation by creating a fine canvas beneath it.
- Using your primer: Moisturizer is applied per procedure, and primer helps add a layer afterward.
- Base/Flaw Concealer: First, apply all of your foundation, concealer, and every other form of makeup
- Eye Color/Mascara: Get to the finishing touches- add your eyeshadows and your eyeliner and give them a great mascara job as well
- Blush/Highlighter: For the final touches, make use of blush, bronzers, and highlighting
Shake it first
- Preparation before application: Before spraying, shake the setting very well to allow a full mixture of the compounds.
From Appropriate Distance
- Distance: Keep the bottle 8-10 inches away from your face. This spreads it all over your face and prevents it from soaking in one place more than another.
Spray Evenly
- Application: To cover the whole face, close your eyes and spray it all over your face in an “X” and “T” motion.
- TIP: Don’t spray on the eyes or mouth.
6. Let it Dry
- Drying Time: Allow the setting spray to air dry independently for a couple of minutes. You won’t have to fan your face; it will air-dry.
7. Apply as Needed
- Touch-ups: If you need to refresh your makeup throughout the day, apply the setting spray for extra hydration and durability.
- Other Variants: Urban Decay comes in different setting sprays like All Nighter, which helps to keep the makeup going for a longer period, De-Slick for oily skin, and Chill for dry skin. Choose the one according to your skin type and your makeup needs.
- Layering: For a long-lasting finish, you can layer the setting spray before and after applying makeup.
How to use Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer
Apply the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer to make the eye makeup vibrant and long-lasting. Use a small amount of primer and apply it with your finger or brush on the clean, dry eyelids. Spread it all over the eyelid, extending a little above the crease. Let it sit for a few seconds, allowing it to hold onto the eyeshadow. Then, apply your favourite Urban Decay eyeshadow, starting with light shades and then building up to darker ones. It will help intensify the colour and prevent creasing or fading so you can walk around perfectly all day. Enjoy vibrant, beautiful looks that last.

Applying Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer is as easy as setting the stage for bright, all-day eye makeup. Follow the following step-by-step application guide to get ready.
1. Clean Eyes
Wash your eyelids and let them dry out completely. This ensures no extra makeup or oils have accumulated on the eyelids and won’t interfere with the application of the primer.

Dispense a teeny-tiny drop of Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer onto the centre of your finger or an entirely clean brush. Trust that a small amount works like magic because only this size is effective.

Carry the product upwards somewhat higher than the fold into corners inside and beyond the edge.
4. Blend Evenly
Mix the primer into your eyelids using your finger or a brush so no lines or patches can be visible. It should be an even base layer on which you will put eyeshadow.
5. Wait for It to Dry
Wait for about a few seconds for it to dry. That way, it will settle nicely and hold the eyeshadow well.
6. Eyeshadow
After you have put your primer on, layer Urban Decay’s eyeshadow that you prefer. You should get an effective colour boost while it won’t creep up and fade out over time.
Tips:
Prime on before the eye makeup process begins, including eyeliner and mascara.
Get various looks as this primer complements every powdered and cream eyeshadow.
Follow these steps to create a perfect canvas to make your eyeshadow pop with vibrancy and longevity.
