Have you noticed I’ve been absent? Bleck. Home stuff. I apologize. I am also late late late on this collab with the lovely Laura of My Newest Addiction who had her video up promptly yesterday. Check out her beautiful bright look here! I immediately knew I wanted to use the Urban Decay Electric Palette because I’ve had it just sitting there looking all gorgeous…staring at me. Judging. So here it goes & I hope you dig it!

So here’s my video tutorial which I actually enjoyed filming. I hope you’re subscribed to my channel on youtube so you never miss one! I have another video tutorial coming up tomorrow as well- see I’m making up for lost time! Here’s Laura’s video here!

This look didn’t photograph as true to color as I had hoped but I think it is pretty easy to see on camera! I used the Jordana12 Hour Made to Last Eye Pencil in Eternal White as my base. This really helps these shadows both cling & pop on the eye. I use it the most often- so much better than NYX Milk by the way! No creasing & it really lasts! The Urban Decay Electric Palette really does need a base though- you don’t want staining & without it the colors aren’t nearly as vibrant. Please note that not all of the shades in this palette have been okayed for use around the eye area so use them at your own digression.

I used the shades Thrash, Jilted, & Urban in that order with the brush that comes in the palette as well as the Real Techniques Essential Crease Brush. I then used the powder & the blush in the ItCosmetics CC+ Radiance Palette ( I reviewed this palette + an It Cosmetics set here!) along with the Real Techniques Multi Task Brush. I love these brushes- I make no apologies for it! My lip color is the OCC Stained Glass Lip Tar in New Wave…I really liked it about 5-7 minutes after application but in the video it doesn’t look as good I don’t think.

So there you have it! I hope you dig my tropical look using the Urban Decay Electric Palette. What shades do you want to see from this palette next? Any favorite combos?
