Urban Decay has released new permanent eyeshadows to its line, some brand new others previously released. I picked up a few.

Urban Decay C-Note

Urban Decay Thunderbird

Urban Decay Smokeout

1. C-Note – Is described as a frosted green. It is a light cool-toned green with a strong blue undertone.
2. Thunderbird – Is described as a metallic red-brown. It is a medium toned reddish brown with gold flecks.
3. Smokeout – Is described as dark taupe black. It is a warm smoke black that was previously released with the Vice 2 palette. The version released with the Vice 2 palette is the same shade as the new single, but it isn’t as pigmented. As it’s less pigmented, it appears warmer.

L to R:
C-Note, Thunderbird, Smokeout

The performance of Thunderbird and Smokeout are very pigmented and blends out nicely. C-Note swatched great, but didn’t perform as well. It took some layering to get the same intensity on the eye.

These shades are available in store and online for $19 each (0.05 oz.).
