MUA Undressed Palette.

_DSC0021

 There is absolutely nothing i can say about this amazing palette that no other blogger has said.
Its amazing. It is a complete dupe for the Urban Decay Naked Palette, and a fraction of the price.
I'm not sure if MUA did this intentionally as the order of the shadows are in the same way, and even the name is similar. You can purchase this palette from Here or any superdrug store that stocks the MUA pro line for £4.

However, this is the perfect palette to have in your collection. I'm not very brave when it comes to putting bright colours on my eyes, other than Purple. If i do I'm feeling confident that day, so tend to stick to the neutral tones.

You get 12 shades with a mixture of shimmer, pearl and matte finish. They are all amazingly pigmented, apart from the 2 matte brown shades. I have the immaculate collection and Heaven and Earth palette and the matte colours from their aren't the most pigmented. If you buy the singles from MUA on the other hand those matte ones are very pigmented.

I have been know to use shade 1 as a highlight on my cheeks and shade 11 as an eyeliner applied with and angled eyeliner brush.

What i really also like about this palette, and others from MUA is that they have a simple tutorial on the back of the packaging. This helps you to create a nice look if you are a beginner.

As always the eye shadows are soft and creamy and apply like a dream. I have oily eyelids and with out a primer (i have recently run out) they do stay on for hours. With a primer, if I'm feeling very lazy, my eyeshadow will still be there the next morning looking just as good.

MUA Immaculate Collection Palette





This gorgeous palette is from the professional line. If im right, it was a free gift over the christmas period. 
I was given this by a good friend of mine. 


There are 25 amazing shades in this palette, ranging from matt, pearl and shimmer finishes.
It has deffinatly been my go to palette latetly. You can create so many look. 


Swatches L-R

Top Row. 
The 3rd colour in the bottom row (in this image) is deffinatly one of my favourite shades. 

 Middle Row. 

 Bottom Row. 


The retail price of this £8 from Superdrug, which is a complte bargin. As you can see all the colours are highly pigmented. I have found they are very blendable and easy to work with. It is deffinatly a must have for all make up collections! 
The only downside i have found is that of the 2nd to last colour. It is a matte brown shade and doesnt give much pay off. It looks like the perfect colour for a nude-smokey eye look. Its such a shame its not very good in this palette. 

All the colours are numberd, as with  most of MUA products. They dont have names, unlike most brands. I think this is something the company should look into.
