Bronze The Eye


I can honestly say, I'm not adventurous when it comes to eyeshadows. I'm pretty much all about bronze, nudes and neutrals, just nothing too fancy. It's rather odd to see me with blue or green smokey eyes, the furthest I can go is with the Naked 3 as it's very subtle on my skin tone. So for the times I'd go for the easy bronze look, I'll just apply a bronze shade all over the lids. Lately, I've been using the MUA Eyeshadow Palette in Undressed for a hint of bronze. I tend to reach out for the shimmery bronze shades just to add a bit of a colour. For a typical day to day basis, I'll keep it simple and add a hint of it to make my eyes appear more awake and wider. It comes with 12 different shades but I do find the colours are pretty close to each other, there's not much variety. If you're a girl who stays on a safe side with eyeshadows I don't think this would be a problem. Apart from that, the eyeshadows do fall out, so to avoid it I'll pat on the lids or sweep away the excess with a powder brush. To be honest this is not the most pigmented eye palette as other high-end palettes but it is a pretty decent palette to fit into the low-budget.

What's your favourite low-budget palette?

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette






Now, I'm definitely not the only one whose been raving and talking about the latest edition in the Urban Decay Palette family. I've got to admit this is my first Urban Decay palette, obviously it's because of their 12 pretty colours that have drawn to me to get as soon as it was out! I've asked a friend of mine to purchase it for me in the States as I wasn't around when it was launched in Malaysia. As everyone was waiting for it, by the time I came home for my mid-sem break I knew it'll be sold out in Sephora and it did!

I can't say I'm disappointed with this palette because their colours are absolutely lovely for not just fair skin but also olive skin like me. The colours are perfect for your everyday look and could top it off with more colours for a glamorous night look. For me, it is totally a balanced palette where it has 3 matte shadow and 9 others are shimmery colours. I could say it is super pigmented with just one swipe and easy to blend.

With the super sleek and glamorous rosy gold tin palette that could be easily carried around came along with a brush that could be easily use for a complete smokey look and a month supply of 4 different types of Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer. I'm obviously saying it is worth buying and it just made into my December Favourites.

What do you think of the latest edition of the Naked Palette?
