The pairing has been a long time in the making. "Ittook 19 years, but it happened," Urban Decay's founding partner WendeZomnir told Refinery29.
"I remember hearing the song 'Just a Girl,' and [Gwen]was on the cover of some local music magazine, and I remember thinking tomyself, 'That girl is so cool. It would be really cool to work with her someday,' " Wende said.

What can we expect from the new makeup line, Urban Decay xGwen Stefani? The brand isn't saying much, but our money is on killer redlipstick (it's Gwen's trademark, after all), some bold eyeliner and maybe a fewbright colors that holler back to her punk/rockabilly roots with No Doubt.
"I've been a fan of Gwen's since we met in the earlydays of No Doubt and I'm so excited to announce our collaboration!" Wende wrote on Instagram as she shared a pic with Gwen. "We've created someamazing makeup together and I can't wait to share it with you."
In an interview with Stylecaster,Wende revealedthat she and Gwen spent four or five months working on the products, and thesinger was involved in every step of the process.
"We wanted to get every detail right, and Gwen was intoit. She wasn't like, 'Here are the shades I like; go make it happen.' Shetested every single one," Wende said. "She's a makeup person, and she'sa cool person."
"There are so many celebrities who don't know what theirmakeup artists put on them, and in their downtime, they don't even wear makeup," she added. "Gwen doesn't leave the house without it. It's reallyimportant to her."
