As a makeup lover eyeshadow is definitely a must product, it's all about finding the right one for your tones and the season we're in. There's so many options, both hughstreet to drugstore ranging from £4 to £40 for a palette! I'll be reviewing my 4 favourite palettes from my 2 opposing budgets.
URBAN DECAY - NAKED 3
You can see that this palette provides us with neutral pinks accompanied with darker greys/brown. Naked palettes always have a combination of shimmers and mattes and this is one of my favourite aspects about them as you can combine the two together.
These colours are very pigmented and lovely to use together whether you're going for a smoky cat eye or just a fresh natural look.
My favourites from this palette are mugshot (shimmer grey) factory (brown/grey shimmer) and noona (dark dusty pink matte). They're very causal colours that can be worn every day or built upon to wear for a night out when theres an addition of a cat flick and statement lipstick, which creates drama.
URBAN DECAY - SMOKY
This palette consists mostly of darker shades. There's also both mattes and shimmers and I love to combine the both of this palette. Unusually there's some bluish grey shades which I would normally shy away from yet when I was experimenting I found that they weren't scary at all but rather gorgeous, especially when applying to a grey smoky eye.
My favourites of this palette would have to be Armour (grey/blue shimmer) Password (matte grey) High (silver) and Combust (soft beige matte). They're all so wearable for every occasion and most definitely applicable for festive occasions where the gold eye is most admirable!
These palettes do come at a costly price of £38 however you cannot live without one, in my opinion these palettes cannot be beaten. They're so pigmented and always come with a lovely and wearable variety of shades which is always good to see. There's also many of the NAKED palettes so there's bound to be one for everyone. I'm excited to try the new Gwen Stefani palette which has some desirable shades there!
However.... For just a fraction of the price we have discovered :
MUA - UNDRESSED
MUA is an exclusive brand to super drug and is ever so cheap for such good quality, i was beyond shocked of how well these colours were reciprocated in application. Similarly to the NAKED palette these colours can be worn with all and the shimmers are unbelievable especially the bronzed gold and rose gold which can literally be worn all over the lid and you're good to go. These are beautiful colours for christmas, the shimmer gold with the black and gold shade really creates a statement people wouldn't forget!
Again there's a mixture of shimmers and mattes here which is again fantastic.
MUA - HEAVEN AND EARTH
I absolutely adore this palette for autumnal neutrals, especially the amber/copper shade in combination with the neutral shimmer and the soft brown for the crease. Browns can be worn with any colour and any occasion. I've had this palette for years and it's still remained almost all of its colour pods, they last for absolutely ages and I think that's down to how pigmented the shades are. I was a bit envious of wearing the amber but once I tried it, it became my autumn go to.
If I'm in a rush with my make up and haven't got much time I'll just sweep a soft neutral beige (As you can tell due to the 4th one in practically invisible!) across my lid add a bit of mascara and highlighter and we're good to go! This palette is definitely something Id recommend and goes well with any complexion.
These palettes are £4 and worth absolutely every penny! They have some limited edition palettes out too with more matte shades. If you could get your hands on one or some I would definitely recommend doing so, especially if you're a beginner and new to wearing make up these are so cheap and the quality is unbelievable.
(OOPS - CHRISTMAS ALERT!! sneak peak of the christmas lounger jumper (OH DEER!!!!) which is extremely comfy and warm and festive and all roundly CHRISTMAS in a product! Also taking a turtle neck to the next level! F&F £15)
Hope you enjoyed yet another post and hope it helped all you make up newbies out there for something within your range! Happy blogging, and keep smiling! Also as you can tell I'm really enjoying a plum or red lipstick this winter not to mention how well they complement these lovely shades of eyeshadow! Happy days
Love always,
