Brooke Shields Likes Urban Decay Cosmetics




If you haven't heard of Urban Decay, then it might sound dangerous and sinful. In a way, it is.

Urban Decay Cosmetics are trend-setting makeup. The American cosmetics company is out there----spotting what's hot, what will be hot, and how to wear it. The makeup is feminine, dangerous, and above all, fun. Even the packaging and the names of the beauty items are very creative. And the company is cruelty-free.

And yes, gorgeous actress/model and mom of two little girls, Brooke Shields, likes to wear a little Urban Decay. You might not catch Brooke wearing their Heavy Metal Glitter Liner, but not everything is punk rock or too wild. There are lots of soft and subtle shades of makeup here.

Brooke, 43, is a working mom, and doesn't always have too much time to 'make up,' but she does have a routine, as she told In Style magazine. Fifteen minutes to get out the door. So it's usually moisturizer, mascara, and a deep lip stain.

The deep berry lip stain Brooke Shields is talking about is this one:

Urban Decay Lip Envy in Greedy ($17, Sephora and ULTA stores). This amazing lip stain is water-rich and gel-based. When it dries, you're left with a sexy, semi-matte finish. This little beauty item actually comes in its own small inkwell with applicator brush.

All you do is apply a thin layer to your lips, and let it dry for about 30 seconds. Then apply a second coat. You can layer even more for a deeper stain. You can also put some lip gloss over the stain for longer-lasting staying power.

What's nice about Urban's Lip Envy, is its vanilla scent. It's also made with excellent anti-oxidants like green tea, Vitamin E, chamomile, and gingko biloba extracts. And this one is a vegan product, which means---no animal-derived ingredients.

Urban Decay Lip Envy also comes in two more pretty shades: Envious, sheer medium pink. And Jealous, nude.
