Urban Decay Build Your Own Palette (picture heavy)

Urban Decay, makers of the infamous Naked palettes have recently launched a new palette option – where you can build your own. A little like the pro palettes from MAC, but much funkier and with more portable options (you can put the shadows back into their single pots if you only want to take one or two) and the palette has a large mirror and comes with an eyeshadow brush.

I was given the chance to build my own custom palette by picking the five shades to go inside the spare slots – when you buy the palette it comes with a single pale shadow called ‘Walk of Shame’ (love the Urban Decay shade names by the way) so I set about googling which shades to choose and finally settled on the following:

– Chase: A shimmering bronze, darker when swatched than it looks in the pan
– Bust: This was my number one choice – a taupe.
– Snatch: A pinky shade with shimmer.
– Maui Wowie: This is one of the classic UD shades that I’ve wanted for ages. It’s somewhere between a khaki and a champagne colour.
– Midnight Rodeo: Another one in the famous ‘midnight’ family from UD (midnight cowboy, midnight cowgirl etc…) a soft mid brown with shimmer.
