Makeup Academy (MUA) 'Undressed' Eyeshadow Palette

Hey Beauties,
 
This month I received the MUA Makeup Academy Professional Eyeshadow Palette in Undressed in my GlossyBox.  I'm not new to this brand, I have known and been using their products for many many years now and I am actually quite proud that they are using more mediums to get themselves known as they are such a great brand. Their products are great dupes in some cases, taking high end into affordable for many of us out there who can't justify spending so much money on one item.
GlossyBoxes Editorial Director, Evie Leatham had this to say about the palette, "From work day nudes to smouldering metallics, this beautiful palette is like a chocolate box of the eye colours. And it's just as hard to choose one delicious shade over another". Well - That didn't make me want chocolate at all - Not! Oh Gimme a Terrys Chocolate Orange, a Kit Kat Chunky, Maltesers and a Ferrero Rocher please.
The colours are subtle in this photo, see the top photo for real shades!
MUA themselves said, "A fabulous addition to the MUA Palette family, this one is the ultimate must have. It has a great combination of nude shimmers and mattes and the colour selection is great for creating this season’s clean, natural look with highly pigmented colours. Undressed is bang on trend with the spring summer runway filled with nude makeup looks". Personally I wish they hadn't of said "spring summer" because this palette can (and will) be used all year around, so don't let those spring summer words put you off at all. I actually think that some of the shades are perfect for autumn winter!
The shades all have names and they are; Puff, Rose Ash, Fawn, Gild, Hazel, Lion, Bronze Ore, Burnished Brown, Tawny, Henna, Fuel and Cool Grey. The great thing about these shades are that they compliment each other perfectly, regardless of what your going to be doing, if you have this with you - you can achieve a great look, whether you use just one shade or blend some together. They are flawless. Great pigmentation that can be built up to go extra bold, and I love the matte shade 'Hazel' which is perfect for a cut-crease and Tawny is just a perfect, perfect shade for autumn, it's just perfect. Oh and the Fuel shade is gorgeous! I absolutely love the black with little glistening particles that just shimmer slightly in the light. GORGEOUS!

I would highly recommend this palette, make sure you use it with an eye shadow primer to give the formula that extra staying power. The darker shades are hard to rub off by themselves though, it did take a bit of effort, I'm using that as a positive. For £4 you can't really go wrong with it, I would highly recommend this to you. You don't even have to go too far to get it, either online at muastore.co.uk (Link directly to the palette here) or on the Superdrug website.
 
Let me know what you think :)
 
Speak to you soon,
Have Fun, Be Good.
