Urban Decay: The Black Palette Review
Urban Decay: The Black Palette (with Toasted from the UD Show Pony Palette) on optics, UD Hookup Blush on cheeks, UD Lipstick in Naked on lips
Did you lot ever read those Sweet Valley High books? I loved 'em when I was a kid. There's like a billion in the series… Okay, non a billion, more like 181, just that'south still A LOT of books. They're all about the trials and tribulations of two teenage twins, Elizabeth, the perfect little goody-two-shoes, and Jessica, the unscrupulous even so lovable bad daughter, who alive in the fictional town of Sweet Valley, CA.
I had a Sweet Valley flashback today while swatching Urban Disuse: The Black Palette. The $36 set up, exclusive to Sephora, came out for fall, but I wasn't ready for its darker shades until now.
The half dozen pulverization shadows strike me equally shades a Jessica would similar — naughty and smokey with a bad-girl edge.
She's the girl who'd steal your young man but then charm her way back into your good graces (without you even realizing it!). Despite how dark and moody they are, the colors are notwithstanding flexible plenty to wear to school or work.
The palette, with its five shimmery jewel-toned shades and black-every bit-nighttime matte, are the stars of the testify, merely the ready besides comes with 2 of Urban Decay's cult faves, a tiny bottle of Eden Primer Potion and a 24/vii Glide-On Middle Pencil in Zero, all for $36.
Shimmery gunmetal gray Barracuda, shimmery dark plum Jet, shimmery indigo blue Sabbath, shimmery black-and-gold Cobra (similar a beefier version of the center shade from the Clarins Barocco Centre Trio), shimmery blackish dark-green Libertine and matte Black Dog round out the palette.
All of them pack hard core, intensely rich pigment; consequently, if I merely had ten minutes to do my entire face up, this would NOT be the palette I'd grab. The shadows are simply so intense that blending them can be tricky (also apt to be fallout), only for traffic-stopping smokey eyes, assuming you take the time for a lot of layering, The Black Palette would make an excellent choice.
On my eyes, these shimmery shadows broadcast both black and color. They're more like interpretations based on black, rather than directly-upwards shimmery blues, greens and the like.

Even if you lot've never attempted a smokey eye before, don't be scurred! You could totally rock this palette. Maybe start with something easy, like pairing one of the shimmery shades on the lid with your favorite neutral shadow in the crease, which is what I've washed here using Sabbath, and shimmery dark-brown Toasted from the Urban Decay Bear witness Pony Palette. So…alloy till ya can't blend no more! 🙂
Oh, it might assistance to practise your optics before the remainder of your makeup. That mode you can clean up whatsoever fallout or fix whatsoever missteps before you move on to concealer, foundation, blush and/or pulverization.
