Elle S (shadowsmoked) | A Brand Origin Story: Urban Decay's History @shadowsmoked88 | Uploaded September 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Hello everyone!
As promised- more research based content!
I thought it was only appropriate to tackle Urban Decay for my first brand origin story. Let me know if you'd like to see more like this and for what brands!
I did have a script for this to make it easier on me, so I'd say it's one part podcast. But I did try to include as many interesting and relevant images as possible. The research is my favourite part, but my presentation skills are lacking. And I'm dealing with a dying computer as well, so just thought I'd note that.
List of Sources (nothing fancy. This certainly isn't an academic paper):
