Expensive eyeshadow palettes - worth the money?

22 replies

Lottapianos · 25/06/2017 08:51

I'm planning to treat myself next month after a frugal few months on the make up front. I'm considering Urban Decay Heat palette, or Huda Rose Gold palette or Anastasia Modern Renaissance.

Any reviews or suggestions? Thanks

Don't know those ones, but Urban Decay eyeshadows are brilliant. The Naked palettes are worth every penny.

Urban decay for definite. The pigmentation is great.

I'm currently working through naked 2. Have completely used up one shade and am halfway through another. It's taken over two years of daily use....£ per use = value for money. And they last

I saw the title and was coming to say 'Urban Decay Naked Palettes' just buy them all and you're done for life.

Modern renaissance is beautiful. I can make so many different looks with it. I've got an urban decay palette too which is nice but mr is waaaaay better.

Love my urban decay one, perfect for day and night.

BeautyAndTheBrat · 25/06/2017 09:11

Morphe pallete as are very pigmented and reasonably priced as well!

flowerpat · 25/06/2017 09:15

Ive got Naked3 and it was worth every penny, the Heat palette is on my wish list now!

Lottapianos · 25/06/2017 10:59

Lots of love for Urban Decay it seems. May go for the Heat palette in that case. Thanks all!

I've just bought the Urban Decay Heat palette...great pigmentation and beautiful range of colours. I'd also recommend Illamasqua.

Love my Urban Decay ones. I find myself reaching for the Ultimate Basics the most. It has some similar colours to the new Heat palette.

Auspiciouspanda · 25/06/2017 11:10

I would skip the previous naked palettes, not enough matte's to do a complete look. They have however listened and the naked heat has enough mattes in there.

I do love my ABH to death though - have a look at the colour selection and go with whichever you like better 😊😊

The sales lady on UD counter locally said the heat palette wasn't in store until August, so where did you buy yours?

chipsandpeas · 25/06/2017 13:16

they had a limited amount on the urban decay website last week for sale

ememem84 · 25/06/2017 13:21

have a look on feel unique.com they have a 15% off code today SUMMERLOVIN

not sure if they are stocking UD heat yet though

ememem84 · 25/06/2017 13:25

update. Feelunique are not stocking UD heat yet.

Ollivander84 · 25/06/2017 15:02

ABH X 1000. I love mine

NomDePlumeReloaded · 25/06/2017 15:12

The most important thing, I find, is eyeshadow primer. The Nars one or the UD one are my preference.

PossumInAPearTree · 25/06/2017 15:22

Too faced natural love palette is amazing here

I prefer it to my UD palettes.

Notonaschoolnight · 25/06/2017 15:27

I find really good quality eye shadows too good for my 43 year old eyelids, they really accentuated the crepe, had to give the UD shadows to 12 year old daughter

Talisin · 25/06/2017 16:50

Unfortunately the feelunique 15% code doesn't include Urban Decay Sad

Ollivander84 · 25/06/2017 16:56

Actually if I didn't pick ABH I would have gone makeup geek. Individual eyeshadow but you can makeup your own palette. I use them every day
