So what is this tri-colored thing you are looking at? Well...It was almost 8 pm when I took the picture so when I took the first column, the sun that was right about to set cast a yellow light. When I took the second one it just set down to horizon (OK, more like a building of medium height) but I thought the weaker lighting show the iridescence well. As for the last column, I couldn't take it and turned on the internal flash (Black out, the matte black got contaminated by ace and becomes shimmery). Swatch fail? Yes...but I don't like this enough to re-swatch so you just have to deal with it.
Urban Decay 15-Year Anniversary Eyeshadow Palette is (the name is pretty self explanatory) a prettily packaged palette of heavy weight/price tag, consisting 15 pigmented eyeshadow shades released for their brand anniversary. Beside Black out (matte) and Tainted (semi-sheer with iridescence), most shades are shimmery/satiny, which makes this a lot less versatile compared to the Naked Palette.
I think I'm not that impressed with this palette, too many shimmery shades! But it's Urban Decay after all...
ReplyDeleteI was so not impressed by this palette when I saw it at Ulta. I thought for 15 years they would have dazzled me more.

ReplyDeleteIf you think UD has too much shimmer, try Stila...

I think they ran out of idea (or just didn't feel like trying) after the Naked Palette.
Thanks for the swatches! I don't wear eyeshadow in general, eye noob, but I agree that the Naked colors seem more versatile. Hard to wear hot pink everyday.
ReplyDeleteI thought the packaging of this eyeshadow palette was beautiful, but after seeing it in person and seeing how 1/3 are colorful eyeshadows... I really would not wear most of the colors. Plus I already have the Naked palette, hmm.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful swatches!
