- NEW Urban Decay Jean-Michel Basquiat Collection
From the colors to the shade names to the packaging, EVERYTHING in the UD Jean-Michel Basquiat special-edition collaboration evolved from the work of this groundbreaking artist. Like Urban Decay, Basquiat was an outsider who challenged the status quo and used color in nontraditional ways.
From his informal graffiti work and the way he mixed mediums and colors to the way he spoke out against social injustice, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect fit for the brand. The new and exclusive collection includes: two Eyeshadow Palettes (one neutral and one bright), a Blush Palette, three shades of 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil, and three shades of Vice Lipstick — all housed in mini reproductions of Basquiat’s artwork.
The nine products from the collection are also available in a limited-edition vault. When you’re done with the shades inside, hangers on the back of the palette cases and vault can be used to create your own gallery wall.
