Editor Review

Rated a 3.5

Looking to turn favorite eye shadows into liquid liner? Keep looking. Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Transforming Potion is a brilliant concept -- a clear liquid liner base without pigment, packaged with two brushes for thick or thin lines -- but it's flawed in delivery. Its brushes cannot retain enough pigment to draw a solid line, and over time, re-inserting the used brush turns the clear liquid muddy in color. Wear is below average. A much better bet for less money: Paula Dorf Transformer or Urban Decay Liquid Eye Liner Vintage.

      Good if you want your eyes to burn.

      by Karweekinz (7 reviews)
      I love Urban Decay. Its one of my favorite brands. But ow! This stuff is painful! It does what it was meant to do, but it isn't gentle or merciful. I cried all my makeup off and had to start all over again. This stuff burns. Besides that, its pretty good. It does was it was intended to do and it does it well. But I wouldn't... buy it again.

      Ow!

      by missychrissy185 (17 reviews)
      This product is a great idea, but it hurts! I used it with my eyeshadow and applied it, and it was watery and not highly pigmented. If you use it close to your waterline watch out! This stuff stings, and it made me cry my eye makeup off. The little brush tip was so small it poked me in the eye and did not make a significant... line. May 11, 2009, 8:12 pm

      Great!

      by savekat (1 review)
      Although the brushes aren't too stellar, they get the job done if you are patient. Other than that, this is a brilliant product! It goes on smooth and does exactly what it says it will. You can create your own custom liquid liners, shadows, and looks. I love it! May 8, 2009, 11:30 am

      had to think outside the box.. or in this case, the tube!

      by inflictions (3 reviews)
      i LOVE this stuff... not the packaging, or the brushes to be honest.. the brushes are a waste. i think it would be better packaged in a simple container with MAYBE a dropper. What i do is basically dump a drop or so out of the container, straight on the the pot of eyeshadow (in a small area, NOT the whole surface of the s...hadow!).. then i use a brush that i already have (small and flat) to mix it into more of a "paste".. then apply it that way. This also keeps the different colors of shadow from getting into the "potion"...i use it for both light(for more coverage all over the lid) and dark colors (as an eyeliner/smokey effect).. and this stuff doesnt move until you wash it off.

      Good Stuff

      by Brittyboodle (28 reviews)
      I love using this as a liquid liner mixed with my eyeshadow. It stays on through crying, weddings, you name it. The only problem is if does get in your eyes it will sting for about a minute. April 17, 2009, 12:58 pm

      Contrary to popular review....

      by Katie_W (14 reviews)
      I do like this product. Now I can use every dark eyeshadow I have that I'm scared to wear all over as an eyeliner. It might sting your lids a bit, but it goes away in a few seconds as it dries and lasts all day! I found it worth it. January 4, 2009, 12:20 pm

      Urban Decay I love you, but not your Transforming Potion

      by mythbusterbeauty (33 reviews)

      It actually pains me to have to write a negative review about anything from Urban Decay. My love is true for UD, but not for their Transforming Potion. I love the idea, but had difficulty applying a visible line, and then when added too much potion, some dripped into my eyes! It stung and caused me to tear for several mi...nutes. So many better ways to accomplish a liquid liner, pass on this one. November 26, 2008, 5:42 pm

      There's got to be a better way!

      by BeautyJunkiesUnite (206 reviews)

      Yes! I agree with the 2 previous reviewers. These brushes don't retain enough of the product or liquid to achieve what you're going for. I'm really disappointed in this given how much I love Urban Decay's other products. This one just makes me sad. I don't recommend this product unfortunately. November 23, 2008, 4:47 pm

      Not feelin' it

      by cry5tal985 (14 reviews)
      Makes the eyeshadow turn out clumpy on my eyes. You also have to keep dipping the brush into the liquid because the shadow doesn't stay wet for too long. I really love Urban Decay's other potion products but I was a little disappointed with this one. June 30, 2008, 3:35 am

      • Manufacturer's Product Description

      • Transform your favorite Eyeshadow to a liquid liner or liquid shadow! Like eye liner, but without the pigment, Eyeshadow Transforming Potion is a water-based formula with a special mix of emollients added. Dip either brush into your favorite shadow and poof: instant liquid shine in your favorite shade.The amazing double-ended product features both thin and wide brushes. Use the thin brush for a custom liquid liner that delivers a precise line. Or to craft a more dramatic look, sweep the wide brush over your entire eye for gleaming color that dries down and stays put.

      • Directions

      • To get the best color, dip one of the two brushes, wet with transforming potion, into your Eyeshadow of choice, then swirl around to form a sort of a paste. This technique works MUCH better than just touching the wet brush to the shadow. Your color will be more brilliant and opaque. Also note: shadow may stain the brush, but it won�t affect the next time you want to mix up a different color. If you�re a neat freak, rinse the brush with water, then pat dry with a tissue before reinserting back into the Transforming Potion.
