MUA Undressed Eye Shadow Palette, AMAZING Dupe for Naked At Only £4!

Ever wanted the Urban Decay Naked Palette but arn't sure if it's for you and dont want to spend £32 on some eye shadows? Well now you don't have to as MUA (Make Up Academy) have come up with a dupe for an amazing £4! With an amazing 12 shade of neutrals this is the perfect budget palette with all you need to create smokey eyes, natural eyes or even come up with some summer fav's with the gorgeous pink shades they've thrown in there.. Now I know your dying to see it so here it is..
So as you can see not only does it have some amazing shades with a total of 3 matte shades and 9 shimmer it also has a good range from a matte shade to go on your brow bone or all over your lid to a very sparkly black which is perf for a smokey eye! Here is the first line swatched..

So hopefully you can see the shades clearly there and I have to say I am not to impressed with the first line swatched as I had very high hopes for this palette and really hopes they would have amazing pigmentation. So from right to left you can see they are good dupes for (Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck and Half Baked) When you use these lighter shades you do have to pile them on if you want to make a good impact. Today I have used Sin or (Shade 2) I have to say MUA could have named them something a little more inventive than just Shade 1, Shade 2 etc, anyway, I have used Sin in my inner corner and tearduct area and then piled on Buck onto my whole lid. Now going onto the second line..


The pigmentation of the darker shades in this palette is much better than the first which made me very happy because I can do a lot with these shades, so the equivilent of these shades within naked would be (Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep and Gunmetal) I used a little bit of Smog accross the outer 1/3 of my lid and blended it into the crease I then lined my eye with Creep and brushed a bit of Virgin under my brow.  The finished look came out like so..

There will be a tutorial of this look on my blog and on my youtube chanel @beccabirdx in the next couple of days!
So if you are as excited about this palette as I am please either head over to superdrug and pick it up or go to the MUA website and order it online because the ship INTERNATIONALLY! http://www.muastore.co.uk/ Also check out some of there over amazing products, I will do a blog post on some of my fav's soon! So watch out for that. But for now thank's for reading.

Welcome Me To Blog World!

Hello Blog World!
This is my first ever blog so I may be abit shaky! (excuse me for my shakeyness.. is that even a word?) any who.. I'm not really sure what to write about in this blog because you know I really have no idea. I guess I will just talk about myself (how vain!) ANYWAY! I'm a teenage girl who loves beauty laaadeedar! Make Up is my obsession and I love just about anything that can be applied to my face, eyes and lips. :) RED is my fav colour, so you will often catch me with red lipstick and my red handbag!! Check out my youtube channel for OOTD's, Hauls and make up looks! http://www.youtube.com/beccabirdx

This is my applying make up to a friend for a performance we were in, we had to have 60's type makeup so I went for the thick black liner and very spidery lashes which were very twiggy!

So as you can probely tell I love applying make up to myself as well as others! I often experiment with lots of different make up looks, the classic smokey eye or a natural look, it all floats my boat!

Another Important aspect of my life is my family and friends, I love going out for dinner and doing fun things with both my family and friends which I'm sure you will hear lots about them in my blogs! Speaking of family my pride and joy has got to be my cat Tootsie I have had her for nearly two years and she is simply the best cat in the world.. Heres a sneak peak of her lovelyness..
See my instagram for more cute pictures of her! @beccabird3
