I stumbled across the Urban Decay stand and the first thing I saw was the palette that I had been lusting after for ages and instantly had to check it out!
The colours were so pretty and the kind lady at the stand offered to give me a demonstration and a step by step tutorial on my eyes to show me how to do the perfect smoky eye. The colours were so pigmented and I had to buy it regardless of the price. £38 for an eyeshadow palette is quite steep in my opinion, as you can purchase some for under £10, but I thought what the heck I'm getting it!
Let's move on to the palette itself...
12 shades ( three mattes and nine shimmers ) lined up in a rose gold metal case which looks so sleek and packaged with a dual ended eyeshadow brush. I like the brush to apply the eyeshadow but it's not as good for blending it in.
Now for the shades themselves...
Above Photo: ( Strange - Trick ) the lighter colours in the pallette.
Above photo: ( Mooner - Blackheart) the darker colours.
Strange: A pale neutral matte satin peach, a light peach which is perfect for under the brow highlighting.
Dust: A pale metallic pink shimmer which looks rather glittery, such a pretty colour.
Burnout: A pinky peach satin, a not too pink-pink but would also look nice for under the brow highlighting.
Limit: A light dusty rose matte, perfect for those creases ( I Love It ).
Buzz: A metallic rose shimmer with a hint of silver glitter.
Trick: A light metallic, pinky-copper, shimmery, sparkly colour. The sparkle is there but yet it's a rusty gold shade ( So beautiful ).
Nooner: A pinky brown matte, perfect for sweeping over the eye and gives a nice definition.
Liar: A metallic mauve shimmer, another pinky brown with a tweak in the undertone that looks like a golden pink. This is one of my favourite shades and the one I seem to wear the most on a day to day basis. I just can't get enough of it.
Factory: A rich pinky brown satin, with a not too in your face dose of shimmer, perfect for the creases.
Mugshot: A classic silver, greyish taupe with a slight pink undertone.
Darkside: A deep purpley-brown perfect for the smokey eye look and for under the eye.
Blackheart: A smokey black matte with a rosy red sparkle. Also perfect for s smokey eye and to add a bit of dazzle to the eyes. It's blooming beautiful and I use this quite a lot when doing to the smokey eye look.
I Love all the colours in this palette and will definitely be using them all at one point. I can't really compare this palette to the other Naked ones as I don't own any of them nor have tried them out, but have seen a lot of good reviews.
All in all I am so pleased I purchased this and it's a must in my make up bag ( Not that it fits in my make up bag lol ).
Hope you all enjoy my review and if you don't own this palette, then get yourselves down to your nearest Urban Decay stand!
Lots of Love,
