Had potential, but missed the mark.

I was super excited to get this pallet as I have always been blown away by the quality of UD products, especially their shadows for over 30 yrs. Being in my 40s I’m now going for a more toned down, neutral, natural look and this was perfect, until it wasn’t. Fallout was excessive, pigment was nonexistent and it was hard to even get the color to stay. I had to return, just didn’t work out the way I had expected and was disappointed how much the quality of UD eyeshadow has declined over the years. Sorry UD, you missed the mark on this one.

Beautiful Cool-Toned All-in-One Pallet

★★★★★ Beautiful Cool-Toned All-in-One Palette — I Keep Reaching for It! I’ve been wanting a beautiful full-face palette with mostly cool-toned shades for a long time, so when Urban Decay released this palette, I was really excited to try it. The colours are beautiful and blend very nicely. There is a little fallout, but nothing that really bothers me. I also don’t mind the sliding top at all—in fact, I find it convenient and easy to use when I’m getting ready in a hurry. I would rather a brand leave out a mirror to help keep the price reasonable than sacrifice the quality of the makeup itself. My one disappointment is the staying power. Even when I use primer, I don’t find the colours last as well throughout the entire day as I had hoped. That does make me question the overall quality a little, especially considering what I expect from Urban Decay. But here’s the thing: I still keep reaching for this palette more than any of my others. I use it almost every day, I’m definitely keeping it, and I really love the convenience of having coordinating cool-toned shades for the whole face in one palette. Urban Decay, please make more cool-toned full-face palettes! There are many of us who appreciate cool tones AND the convenience of an all-in-one palette. This one is so close to being perfect—I’d just love to see even better longevity in the next one. 💕
