My most used eye shadow palette: MUA Undressed!




I have been meaning to write this post for a while, as I really wanted to tell you guys about how much I love MUA eyeshadows, especially the 'Undress' me palette. This is, rather inconspicuously, a dupe for Urban Decay's 'Naked' palette but at a fraction of the price. Anyway, time for some swatches!


Left to right: Shades 1-6

Here is the top row swatched. Unfortunately some of the shadows don't show up very well due to my paleness and the fact I only used my phone camera, but I can promise you that when applied to the eye these do not disappoint! There are four shimmer and two matte shades in this top row, making it very versatile. Shade 1 is a beautiful shimmery highlighter which looks really great in the inner corner as well as for a highlight. Shade 3 is actually my most used shadow, as it makes an absolutely perfect 'transition' colour for blending other shadows through the crease with. I love these colours so much!


Left to right: Shades 7-12 (BUT for some reason, I swatched shade 12 before 11)

The bottom row is where the darker, more smokey colours live. These shadows, as you can see, are all beautifully pigmented and show up really well on the lid. I absolutely adore shade 12 (second from left), it's a dupe for Urban Decay's 'gunmetal' and is a gorgeous shimmery blue/ grey colour. The darker goldy/ brown colours make a great smokey eye. Not a single shade in this whole palette disappoints me, which is probably why it's my most used! So many looks can be achieved with this great selection of shadows.

Let me know if you have tried out this palette what you think of it. The only thing I do wish is that they were a bit more inventive with their shadow names, shade 1-12 is just boring, come on MUA! At £4 I think it's an absolute bargain, and I recommend you all add it to your makeup collection!
