Mermaid Pearls Makeup Look Ft. Urban Decay Vice 4 Eyeshadow Palette

Hey guys hope everyone is well. Today I am bringing you a pictorial featuring the Urban Decay Vice 4 Eyeshadow Palette. I had such a tough time choosing looks to create because there is so many color to choose from in this palette and I didn't want to create another fall look as much as I love autumn. I wanted something more colorful, but not over the top so I created this look using neutral and colorful eyeshadows to balance each other out. Hope you enjoy this pictorial and give it a try :) 

Pictorial/Tutorial

*Prime the eyes first*

Next take the burnt brown color called Bitter and apply it to the crease area and blend.

Once you have it blended out apply the dark brown color called Delete to the outer corner of the eye and into the crease midway. Do not forget to blend. 

Take the cream color eyeshadow and apply it to the brow bone. Blend.

For the outer lid I used the color C- Note. I felt it wasn't green enough so 

I then took the color called Grasshopper and applied it on top of the previous color.

For the middle of the lid I used the color Fastball. Blend carefully with the green to avoid harsh lines.

Next I applied the lilac color called Hartlot to my inner lid up to the tear duct. Gently blend with the color Fastball to avoid harsh lines.

Apply your favorite black eyeliner.

Then apply your favorite mascara.

Finally apply black eyeliner to your water line.

Done!

 Finished Look

    This is one way to use neutral and colorful eyeshadows together and if you are afraid to create an all colorful look.  

Hope you enjoyed this pictorial and there will many more coming soon :) 

Take care and stay safe! 

See you in my next blog post. :)

Urban Decay Vice 4 Eyeshadow Palette -Review and Swatches

Hey guys! When it comes to this time of year all the makeup companies rush in getting out the palettes for the holidays. There is one makeup company that never disappoints during this time of year and that is Urban Decay. Their eyeshadows are known for their pigmentation and their eyeshadow neutral eyeshadow line called Naked. Recently, they are going back to their roots and brining back colorful eyeshadow that urban decay was known for in the early years of their company. The colors in the Urban Decay Vice 4 Palette was inspired by their vintage eyeshadow called oil slick. Is this Urban DecayVice 4  palette consistent with their previous vices palettes? Scroll down for my review and swatches! 

The Urban Decay Vice 4 Palette retails for $ 60.00 and contains 20 brand new eyeshadows ranging from matte, frosty, metallic to shimmery shades. Also comes with a full mirror, dual ended brush and bag.

A nice case with holographic design that stores the palette or can be used as a makeup bag.

I love the design of the palette and how the outside design is slightly raised creating a 3D effect. 

The color Flame really stands out in this photo and is one of my favs.

Palette comes with a synthetic dual ended brush.

Swatches!

Stand out colors are: 

Fandemoneum

Underhand

Grasshopper

C-Note

Flame

Arctic

Low

Crowbar

Review/Thought:

Over All, I think the Urban Decay Vice 4 is every makeup lovers dream. The pigmentation of the eyeshadow does not disappoint and pack on vibrant and opaque colors to the eyes. However, some colors like Flame, Low and Crowbar  create a lot of fall out. When I created a look using one of these colors my face looked like a disco ball lol. So my advice before applying any of these colors is to do your foundation last. Rather than that the eyeshadows are smooth and pack on a powerful color punch. The casing is absolutely beautiful and the mirror is huge. As for the dual ended brush I do not care for. The palette is thin, but I wouldn't take it with me for traveling just for the fact that their are a lot of colorful eyeshadows and not enough neutral colors while away. For not traveling I think this palette is wonderful to create colorful and artistic looks, or you can pair these beautiful colors with a neutral shade in the palette for a  pop of color. For all the makeup lovers who love to create colorful looks then the Urban Decay Vice 4 is the eyeshadow palette to own.
