I've really only ever used this eyeshadow right on the brow bone as a highlighter. However, I love how it glides on and has a nice pearly, sheen. It possesses just enough sheen that it catches your eye and highlights in just the right away. It has just the slightest bit of pink but not too much. In fact, this shadow is such a necessity for me that when I bought UD's Naked palette, I didn't mind having it included in there so that now I have my single pot of Sin and my palette Sin. I could easily use this shadow on the lid as well, but because it's such a staple on my brow bone, I like to mix it up a bit and make the eyelid a different color.

Gorgeous shimmery, peachy eye shadow. Very nice for a natural, classy day time look. I use this all over the lid with a light matte brown in the crease and BAM so beautiful. I recommend all of Urban Decay's eye shadows and Sin is definitely one of my favorites!

Another great shadow from UD. It's a beautiful shimmery bronze color. Pigmentation is a little light but with a primer it looks great, Goes great on the lid paired with smog on the crease.

Sin is a very creamy eyeshadow. The shade itself is of different variations of colors such as peach/pink/beige/white. It casts a different shadow depending on the shade of your skin tone. As a highlighter it is magnificent, bold and it shows up well. I recieved it in my naked palette but will be purchasing/swapping for another one when I run out. It is by far my favorite highlight as of yet. It is a simple everyday color than can be worn with any color eyeshadow. Very diverse =)

I use this shadow almost every day, because it's the perfect shimmery, peachy nude for my pale, yellow-toned skin. It brings out the blue in my eyes and brightens the face. Paired with a bit of mascara on the upper lash line, I truly think this shadow makes the natural look seem fresh, dewy and pretty. Nice, too, with a red lip.
I adore the texture of Urban Decay shadows (at least, the non-glittery ones) and this glides on like butter and covers incredibly well. No irritation on my sensitive skin.
I am bowled over by this shadow - one of my top three Urban Decay shades.

Got this in a palette and it makes a wonderful brightening lid wash for lighter skin. Lovely champagne shade that makes lashes really stand out. One of my top UD shades. I think the shadow is a bit pinker and richer in color than the primer which comes off more gold on me.

I got this in my Ammo pallet, and I have to say this is the one that I use the most! I will soon have to buy another, I love it so much. It is my perfect go-to everyday eyeshadow colour! Its a pretty champaign-pink, which, when applied, looks quite natural on me, but brightens my eyes and makes the green in them pop! I foresee this becoming an HG in my collection!

Normally don't go crazy over eyeshadows but this has been my go-to highlighter. Just sweep on and go. Will buy again for sure.

I've bought and replaced this shade 2-3 times. Love it! I use it in the crease only, as it is quite dark.

Sin is a champagne-pink on my lids (NC-35). It's shimmery, not glittery so there's no fallout. I wear it as a wash or pair it with smog or chopper that I got in my ammo palette.

Great for an every day wear-to-work look. Just apply Sin, mascara, gloss, blush and you're good to go!

I think this is my favourite UD shadow. I have it in a couple of different palettes, and though it's a neutral, shimmery pink which looks fairly common, I don't actually have anything else quite like it. It has an intense shimmery sheen and is buildable so that you can apply it sheerly as a highight on the browbone or face, but can also build it up as a lid colour if you want a simple, easy look that brightens up your eyes and makes you look more awake. Even if you think you have a shadow just like it, I recommend giving this a try.

This is such a gorgeous color. Very pretty champagne pink. For brown girls it makes a nice highlight color but be careful with it because it can be a bit frosty. Apply with a light hand and blend, blend blend and this would look great under the brow. I haven't tried this on the lid yet so I'm not sure how it would look. Will be updating.

**update** Looks awful as an all over lid color. Not complementary at all. You wont get any of that champagne pink color. It'll look like silver. Still a great highlighter though

I got this color in one of the UD palettes and it is one of my favorites. It looks great as a highlight/cheek highlight and it also looks really good with a mauve in the crease, but this is a pretty common color so I recommend just buying a cheaper alternative.

Its a shimmery, basic, slightly pinky champagne. I love it for the color and consistency, as I do all UD shadows, but the fallout on this is crazy! i don't usually have a problem with that but the first time i used this I ended up with shadow all over my cheeks, simply because i hadn't been ready for that much fallout. I stlll love it though

I decided to pick up an eyeshadow I really liked from the Naked palette to tide me over until getting my paws on the palette and I really loved Sin. I'm glad I got it (even though I know I'm getting the Naked palette for Christmas!) because I can see myself using this a lot. I already have. It's extremely versatile.


A shimmery light champagne that looks pinkish in the pan but not on my very fair skin. It almost provides a very light, neutral wash of shimmer. I've been looking for a colour like this for a long time. It's perfect for everyday with a soft crease colour, but it's easily amped up for a super smokey eye with a darker colour in the crease. It's a rare colour that I use all over the lid AND all the way up as my highlight, too...not something I can usually do due to being so pale. It goes on super smooth and lasts all day with UDPP. I am so happy that I purchased this on its own. I've gotten more compliments on my makeup looks using this than any other shadow for a long time! (UD packaging is really cute too!)


Granted, the idea of this colour is not terribly unique and I'm sure there's something similar in every makeup line, but if you are looking for a light, neutral shimmer shadow, you can save yourself the search and give this a try. It really does the trick!

I don't really get the hype surrounding this.

I have 2 other shades similar to this, MAC Jest and UD Sellout. Both perform much better.

Jest is more pink a bit lighter and frostier but so much more better pigmented.
Sellout is basically the same colour, except again it has superior pigmentation.

This tends to go on in little clumps (as if it balls up) and unevenly, have to continually keep dipping my brush in. Would not repurchase.

Neutral champagne pink with some shimmer. It goes more pink on me but blends well with a neutral pallete. Has too much shimmer for me to use right under the brow but I like it in the center of my eyelid. It's soft and goes on well but on me, it's almost translucent and doesn't have much pigment. I often use it to lighten up other colors when they look too heavy for wherever I'm going that day. It's a pretty color and I'll probably buy it again.

I also de-potted it and it fits perfectly into my MAC palette. I was pretty happy about that!

A pleasant shimmery brown color. Excellent texture and dependability as with all Urban Decay eyeshadows. Might repurchase.

Sin and Sin UDPP are so pretty. I always keep thinking that it would be a brighter color that I could use in the inner highlight, but it doesn't brighten the way I want it to.

It's so pretty all over the lid though, and it IS a pinky nude shimmery shade.

A classic from UD, it's a creamy, pigmented eyeshadow. There is no glitter, or shimmer in it, but it IS metallic-esque. Very pretty.

I always wanted it, and I got it. I think I could do more with this if I was even more tan! :)
