Perhaps you've heard of Urban Decay Cosmetics? The company has been around since 1996, bringing us some of the most beloved priming and setting products as well as standout makeup colors (that we really hadn't seen prior to '96). The brand's slogan, "Beauty With an Edge" is apparent in the quality and variety of colors that have inspired countless other brands. Hailing from Orange County, California Urban Decay has introduced us to many products over the years — some classics we can't live without, others sadly are no longer around (remember the shimmering, lickable body powder?)

In addition to basically every shade and finish of lipstick and eyeshadow you could ever want, the brand basically put eyeshadow palettes on the map. Most notably, the Naked Palette, which has sparked multiple offshoots and imitators. Whether you're looking for glitter that doesn't quit, that hard-to-find lipstick shade or makeup that is seriously waterproof, Urban Decay is your go-to.

Read on for our list of Urban Decay's hero products, ranked. (Hint: they're all winners in our eyes.)
