It’s no secret that I have a big ol’ yen for Urban Decay products. It’s two-fold: their colors are insanely cool and unique and their makeup has serious staying power. I have more experience with their eyeshadow over anything else because their palettes are just great. So when they had a sale recently on their Feminine, Dangerous and Fun palettes at their officially website, I jumped on scoring the Fun one for only $19 (this one is still on sale, by the way, so don’t pass up on that opportunity!).
The fun palette, as pictured, is their brighter, technicolored palette of choice for those not afraid to be bold. I used to shy away from bright eyeshadows but this palette has really let me embrace them. These colors are not for the faint of heart; the gold is GOLD and will make you look like your eyelids were touched by King Midas himself. The blue, purple and fuchsia are great colors that come on bright but can be easily toned down if need be. My biggest gripe is the silver eyeshadow, which seems to be not much more than a lot of glitter that gets EVERYWHERE. I avoid it for the most part unless I dip my brush in water first so that the sparkles stick together a bit better.
The palette comes with small version of their 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Oil Slick, a really fun black liner with a bit of sparkle. It’s really easy to apply and while I’m typically a fan of liquid liners, I’ve really taken to the softness and ease of this pencil.
If you shop through their site you also get a mini version of their Eyeshadow Primer Potion, which really, really works. I used to use the old trick of placing foundation on my eyelids before applying, but this primer does the job even better. It’s convinced me to go out and pick up a full bottle.
It’s a great complete set to give you a, well, fun look! It’s my go to most days, whether just heading to the office or going out on the weekend.
