If anyone were to ask me what my all-time favourite makeup brand is, I would probably get a little flustered and panic-y because that's a bloody hard question for a beauty addict like me. But after getting my thoughts together, I would most likely go on to say Urban Decay. I rave to my friends A LOT about Urban Decay and have definitely been the enabler for fair few purchases (soz Caroline). So it was only right that I make my first 'Brand Focus' dedicated to Urban Decay.
UD is most famously known for their edgy designs, cool collaborations, funky names and buttery eyeshadows 'n' liners, and rightly so! The Naked Collection quickly has become a cult beauty product amongst the community and even the most novice makeup appliers have one of these bad boys in their arsenal.

Eyes
The smoothness and easy blend-ability of the eyeshadows along with the wide range of fail-safe colours make these palettes a perfect gift or possession for someone starting to use eyeshadow, and with them being roughly £3 a shadow that's not too bad considering their AMAZEBALLZ quality. Whether it be the Naked Basic's or The Naked 3, there is a colour palette for everyone, cool, warm, rosy, neutral, whatever takes your fancy.
Eyeliners...nothing beats an Urban Decay eyeliner lemme tell you that. 3 words, Smooth. Pigmented. Blend-able. It's got to the point now where it's an actual tradition for me and my best friend to buy each other one for our birthdays regardless. So any mates of mine reading this that fancies getting me a gift for the bant, you know what to get yeah :)))
If you're looking for a mascara that gives you a lot of length and volume then look no further, with a large brush the Perversion Mascara does a great job. I will say that for a mascara it is quite expensive and you can get mascaras that do an equally good job that are considerably cheaper.
Lips
I've only ever tried one Urban Decay lip product which is the Naked Lipgloss in SESSO. Now these arent the most pigmented lipglosses by far but they do give a nice wash of colour which also perfecting the look of your lips. Sticky enough to last but not sticky enough to be uncomfortable, a nice medium. The smell and taste leaves something to be desired but hey ho, it's definitely not a deal breaker
I am yet to try anything from their range of face makeup but I have heard very good things about their Naked Skin concealer and I do love me a good concealer so will be getting on that very soon!
Treat Yourself,
Lyl, Mandy xo
