Urban Decay Beauty Picks 2016
Urban Decay are known for their beautiful beauty releases and creating such unique products. One of my particular favourites from the brand are their beautiful eyeshadow and lipsticks.
I wanted to showcase a few recent favourites from the brand which I’m particularly impressed with.
Firstly The Alice Through The Looking Glass eyeshadow palette is a colourful kaleidoscopic artwork which is full of quirky names and pigmented shades.
The packaging of the eyeshadow palette is very impressive, the blue butterfly when you open the box is stunning!
You can really experiment with colour in this palette or tone eyes down with more neautral shades.
My favourite colours in the palette are:
Paradox – A Vibrant Orange with Gold Pearl
Cake – A Saturated blue pink with silver micro shimmer
Salazen Grum – Metallic Crimson
Royal Flush – Pale beige Shimmer
Dutchess – Peach with pink shift and micro sparkle
Looking Glass – Pale Pink Demi Matte
The combination of bright tones and natural tones creates a fun loving palette you can really experiment with.
You can create the ultimate Mad Hatter look combining the greener shades in the palette such as Hatter, Heads Will Roll and Metamorphosis.

On the lips the colours are certainly very vivid and some are more dare to wear than others.

Mirana – A matte berry with tonal shimmer
Time – Gunmetal Navy with Silver Shimmer
Alice – Sheer Nude with Pink Shift
Mad Hatter – Bright Purple Shimmer
Iracebeth – Bright Red Matte
These are bold and beautiful shades, and my two favourites are Alice and Mirana. Alice is a really subtle sheer lipstick and very wearable for the day, and Mirana is a great berry option for the evening.
Teaming these colours with shades from the eyeshadow palette create a wonderful wonderland look.
