Hi there !
So I had been dying to get get my hands on the new urban decay ultimate basics palette when I saw on a FB ad that it was back in stock on urbandecay.com! I quick placed my order and got it today so I wanted to talk about my thoughts on this first time, all matte eyeshadow palette.
The packaging goes right in with the naked urban decay theme. It's gold, shiny, and sleek. The palette is very light weight which is great for people on the go (me
🏻)
It's small and compact so if you travel, want to throw it in your purse or bag it is easy to do!
It also has a good size mirror so that is a major plus. One less thing to carry.
All of these colors are new and that's exciting to see. The pay off is just as expected from urban decay. Beautiful, rich and smooth to apply.This palette can really be your new "go to" the colors are so different yet go very well together. When looking at it I can think of so many looks I can do, which sometimes that's hard to do when you see a palette with a ton of colors.
It will be great for any looks- daytime , natural , office , date night or girls night out.
For me, my time away is spent at the office so I like this palette because some days I like to go a little more "dark" for work to "dress up" an outfit for fun. Other times if I know I'll be having meetings I want something softer and more fresh. There are also so many smokey eye options to choose from !
The color "extra bitter" is such a rich brown reddish color and I can definitely wear that as a Fall look - or with a dark smokey eye look. It's one of my favorite colors from this palette.
This is definitely a must have whether you just love to collect makeup or need a simple go to palette.
I swatched some of the colors so you can see how beautiful and pigmented they are
