Smashbox Cover Shot: Ablaze Palette | Review + Swatches

January 17, 2018


"Each of these slimline, portable palettes has a curated set of six shadows plus two double-sized base shades. They swipe on highly pigmented, beyond blendable color for endless eye looks. Smashbox popped in two the bigger base shades so you won’t run out of basics before you’ve used all the high-impact accent colors. You’ll be obsessed with the velvety, wearable quality of these shadows—not to mention the hot new eye looks they inspire. 

Ablaze (hot, desert-inspired shades): With shades in rich red clay and hot terra cotta, this palette captures the warmth of the desert in a range of sun-drenched shades—these dimensional pigments are perfect for adding depth and contouring."

Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette | Review + Swatches

Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette

This palette is Urban Decay's first matte palette. Urban Decay describes the six shadows as smooth, velvety, suede-like feel with a luxe finish that never looks chalky or powdery. Urban Decay says these shadows have "color that stays on your lids." 

"While this palette is small, we loaded it with full-size shadow pans, just like our other Naked palettes. Every shade features our Pigment Infusion System™, a vehicle for color that holds tightly to pigment and gives the formula its glide. The proprietary blend of ingredients allows color to weave itself through the Eyeshadow formula. 

What does all that mean? Insane color payout. Color that stays on your lids. Sparkle that doesn’t fall. And velvety, suede-like smoothness and blendability."
