Review: MUA Cosmetics EyeShadow Palettes inc. Undress me too!



YouTube, Twitter & Instagram Username: tinaHL82

MUA: Makeup Academy Eye Shadow Palettes:

Undress Me:
A good combination of nude shimmers & mattes on the top row & darker combinations on the second row making it easy to transform a look from day to night.

Undress Me Too:
The pearlescent flesh-toned finish of Shades Naked, Devotion and Shy are perfect for highlighting the eyes, while the shimmering bronze hues of Shades Fiery, Lavish and Dreamy give a sultry effect. There are even smouldering contour tones in Shades Tranquil, Exposed and Wink so that you can transform your minimalist day look into a sexy smokey eye in an instant.  Features a shade range that runs from the palest champagne to the grittiest gunmetal grey.

Starry Night:
Starry Night is a blend of shimmering blues, greys and pinks which are great for bolder looks. 

Review:  These shadows are really really good for the price you pay.  While they are not the softest of shadows (though soft enough), they are still all highly pigmented & super blendable.  Each palettes has so many shadow combinations to try, with 9.6g of each shadow, they really are value for money.

Two negative points I should mention, though not really a problem, is firstly there are fall out from the shadow.  However, I have high end shadows that does alot worse so......  The second is the plastic packaging looks & feels really cheap, but that doesn't really affect the product, and shows that the £4.00 you're spending went mainly to the shadows themselves.

Each palette also comes with a double ended sponge applicator.  I personally haven't used these but could be great in emergencies when you haven't got your makeup brushes with you?

All in all, you can't really go wrong with these shadows as they're hardly going to break the bank balance.  I've also heard the Undress Me Too is a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette.  I don't own the Naked 2, but from what I can see, they are pretty similar so definitely a bargin if your budget doesn't stretch that far!

New Urban Decay EyeShadows and Palette!

I am so looking forward to this, I've never been a fan of the naked palettes as the shades to me were not all that good, BUT, with their new palette and a new selection of shades, I can now pic n mix!


There’s 68 to choose from including best-sellers as well as a new shade line-up all available in five different finishes – Satin, Shimmer, Sparkle, Duotone and Matte.  They are said to have a soft velvety texture and the highy-pigmented colour that glides on effortlessly to make eyes pop in an instant.

I also love the look of the packaging.  The eyeshadow compacts have been revamped so that you can pop them out and place into a custom palette as shown above!

Urban Decay’s new eyeshadows and build your own palette will be coming soon.
