A New Obsession | Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette

I'm am back again with another new obsession post and this time it is the Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette in the colour Strip. This was one of my presents for Christmas because I had wanted to get it for ages, and it is beautiful!


In the palette you get a bronzer, highlighter and blush, at first I thought the bronzer would be to orange toned but once it is on it is a perfect shade and I now use this everyday, it is also very pigmented so you only need a little bit for it to work. The highlight is a lovely shimmery gold shade which I don't use currently a lot but in the summer I can imagine this is going to look amazing because of the gold tones. The blush is one of my favourite things about this palette as it is a lovely matte dusty rose shade that I think will look great any time of year and on any skin tone.


I definitely recommend this palette if you are looking for something like this, I think Urban Decay has to be my favourite for face and eye-shadow palettes because they are such good quality even though they are on the expensive side. I have my eye on the Gwen Stefani palette at the moment so hopefully I can get that soon.

Naked 3 Palette

 

Today I have decided to talk about the Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay, I got this palette for Christmas and I adore it! It has 12 different natural shades of pinks to browns along with an eye brush with two different ends, it is my go to eye shadow palette. The case it comes in is amazing like the rest of it, all of it is just lovely to look at! It costs £38 in Debenhams but you can get it in most high end makeup shops and online on websites like amazon or ebay. I want to tell you a little bit about this palette, what combinations go best and my favourites.


To start off with my favourite colours in this palette are:

Strange - This is the first one on the palette and is a matte pale pink nude.

Limit - This is the fourth one and again it is matte but it is a light rose colour which I love.

Trick - This is the sixth one, this is a metallic pink shade with shimmers in.

Mugshot - This is the tenth one on the palette and I like to use this along my crease to define it as it is a light brown shimmery shade.



I find that certain shades go together, so I want to show you some possible combinations of shades and where to put them:

For a defined look:

Strange (from the inner corner across your eye lid), Nooner (From the outer corner then blend inwards), Darkside (Outer corner and blend really well).

For a smoky look:

Strange (eyebrow crease), Mugshot (outer crease), Darkside (Upper lash line and lower lash line and then blend in well).


If you want you can just go simple and pick out two of your favourite colours and use the lighter one as your base and the darker one along the natural crease of your eye lid. I hope you enjoyed reading this but remember you don't have to have this particular palette to do this as it is very expensive, there are cheaper, good versions out there (I've heard the MUA palette is good).
