Lately I’ve been kind of obsessed with Urban Decay’s Electric Palette. Looking at it, one may think it can only be used for crazy, bold, over-the-top looks. While the Electric Palette is great
for achieving a bold look, it’s also great for adding a pop of color to everyday makeup looks.
The number one thing that stands out to me about this palette is the color pigment load.
Really, what you see is what you get (and I recommend using Urban Decay Eyeshadow
Potion Primer underneath the shadow for added longevity). Normally when I use high pigment
shadows that contain shimmer, I have tons of fallout under eye. I was SO shocked to see that
my under eye area was completely clear of fallout, and I made sure this was true with every
color!
So now on to the colors! Revolt is a bright metallic silver with silver glitter. Gonzo is a matte bright turquoise. Slowburn is a matte bright red-orange. Savage is a matte hot pink. Fringe is a bright metallic teal. Chaos is a matte bright blue. Jilted is a bright metallic fuchsia with blue shimmer. Urban is a bright metallic purple. Freak is a pearly bright green with gold shimmer. Thrash is a matte bright lime green. I must note that Slowburn, Savage, Jilted, and Urban are not intended to be used for the immediate eye area. Other uses for these are blush, hair chalk, and lipstain. For eye looks, the possibilities are endless (but I will give ya one of my favorite ways to use this :p)! Apply your base color to the lid. Take a dark grey or black shadow and make a “v” shape in the outer corners. Use a fluffy,blending brush and apply a shadow of your choice to the brush (just a little bit). Then blend away! It should leave a trace amount of color. Another great use is to wet an angled liner brush with water and then dip the brush into your shadow of choice. You have now made your own eyeliner with the shadow and can give yourself a bold cat eye!
A great way to spice up your smokey eye!
