ALICE IN WONDERLAND FOR URBAN DECAY | REVIEW & SWATCHES

A new range from Urban Decay is my kind of makeup update. The Alice in Wonderland collection is one I was extra hyped up about, mainly because I’m a big fan of the film – I love a classic, whimsical story. And Johnny Depp. Obviously. While I’m not one to regularly rock brights, I’ve been really excited to see how these earthy tones and statement shades work together.

Swatches L-R Paradox, Royal Flush, Duchess, Kingdom, Salazen Grum, Chronosphere

Eyeshadows first. I always think Urban Decay do hellaaa good on the eyeshadows front – what is life without the Naked palette?! I’ve had a few of the brighter palettes in the past, but this one is a goodie for tying in bold shades with my love for neutrals. I really like the mix of warm nudes and browns in the shimmer and matte finishes. Some of the shimmers are sparklier than others, but overall I’m a fan of how they look when applied. The ones I’ve swatched above are just some of my favourites – golden tones with reddish undertones, a good alternative to my usual flat mattes.

Swatches L-R Iracebeth (Comfort Matte), Mirana (Metalizzed), Alice (Sheer Shimmer), Time (Metallized), Mad Hatter (Metallized)

Onto lipstick. These are so freaking fun to play around with! Surprisingly, I think I’m most into the blue. I can’t say for definite that I’d dare wear it out, but I can’t wait to give it a go in some makeup shots – it’s such an out there colour… Feeling like a sci-fi glitzy combo. Yup, that’s a sentence I never thought I’d be saying. Another favourite is Mirana, a brownish mauve with plenty of shimmer to it. I think this one would be a real winner for colder months - it’s something fun for livening up A/W looks. My final fave is the red shade. Red isn’t something I wear often, but I can vouch for this as a good egg... It's super duper pigmented and a non drying matte finish.  

The Alice in Wonderland collection is available now, so if you’re heading to the beauty counters then definitely get swatching away! I’d straight up go for the eyeshadow palette – the colour range and pigmentation is as I’ve come to expect from Urban Decay. It’s one that’s stocked me up with a whole load of options for a new season of shadows.
