Beauty Report: Urban Decay x Jean-Michel Basquiat Collection

Art and beauty go hand and hand, therefor an Urban Decay collection dedicated to renown graffiti pioneer Jean-Michael Basquiat makes perfect sense.

Best known for leaving his mark in graffiti on lower Manhattan in the 1980’s, Basquiat later became an artist as well known and respected as the likes of Andy Warhol in the New York art scene. His love of Neo-expressionism and use of vibrant colors makes Urban Decay the perfect brand to pay homage to the late artist. The packaging in this collection is a must-have for any makeup collector. With each piece decorated with reproductions of Basquiat’s artwork, as well as designs influenced by his style and product names inspired by his life. The 12 piece collection ranges from $17-$39, and can also be purchased in it’s entirety in a makeup vault that will cost you $165.

I recently got to play with the collection in person and loved the “Gold Griot” eye palette and the “Anatomy” eye pencil. Both are highly pigmented and easy to blend. You can check out all the items below and purchase your favorites by clicking the provided links.
