Once the sun goes down, anything goes. That’s the inspiration behind our Afterdark Palette. It’s got everything you need to create a range of after-hours-inspired looks. Loaded with a diverse range of metallic jewel tones (including several that seem to change colors depending on how the light hits them), this palette is full of possibilities.

It is shiny & looks like a purple oil slick. I had to put it under my ringlight (here’s mine btw!) because it is tough to photograph though! It is a super sturdy hard plastic with their usual magnetic closure.

See more makeup, nail art, & beauty on All Things Beautiful XOInside you have a very large mirror & a double-ended brush. The brush is actually really well thought out to go with the shade’s texture as well. You have a bit stiffer bristles- also great for foiling! One side is a normal eyeshadow brush shape with a curved edge to fit the crease as well & the other is a smaller version perfect for details.

I fully expected this shade to have a lot of fallout like many white golds but this actually stuck on & gave me great control. It also actually shows up where you place it & looks incredible applied with a damp brush!

Scene- a brightened pink-based warm coral with coppery gold shimmer in a metallic finish. This might be one of my favorite shades because it gives me summer vibes! It took a little more work to apply because there was a tad of fallout but I actually prefer this applied wet for maximum pigmentation anyway.

Druggie- a medium brightened violet-toned purple with lots of cool notes in the metallic finish. You guys KNOW I love my purples & this one is fantastic- a bit stiff so the color actually is opaque when I apply it. & purples are tough so that’s a big deal!

Backfire- a deepened warm plum with golden flecks in a metallic finish. This shade is permanent. It has a bit of fallout but honestly not very much considering it has a touch of golden glitter throughout that looked more like super micro flakies.

See more makeup, nail art, & beauty on All Things Beautiful XOSupersonic- a medium to deep copper-based red  in a metallic finish. Another favorite in this palette- the texture is incredible & it really makes my eyes pop!

Sinful- a brightened medium slightly murky goldenrod yellow  in a metallic finish. This applied surprisingly smooth & has way better application than most of my golds when it comes to opacity especially.

Off Duty- a warmer deep brown packed with a pearl finish. Not quite as pigmented or metallic but easily buildable & built up.

Lounge- a very pigmented red/brown base packed intensely with green (some instances a bit of blue) shimmer that makes it look like a duochrome metallic. This shade is permanent. It takes a bit more building up but the effect is obviously worth the work.

Fringe- an intense turquoise to teal with a metallic finish. I’m obsessed with the tones in this & the color payoff is stunning. I do recommend using a primer if you’re fair like me because this might stain a little bit.

Paralyzed- a very cool-toned navy with a darkened  base & metallic finish. It needs some building up but this color looks so unique!

See more makeup, nail art, & beauty on All Things Beautiful XOI love purple eyeshadow SO much. Like…so much. So I couldn’t help myself & went with some of those shades in this palette. Because normally I’m so full glam that people often ask for something more wearable. I heard you! <3

Maybe without the winged eyeliner for some of you…but not for me! Wings for life! I’m also wearing the Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Whip in case you were wondering!

See more makeup, nail art, & beauty on All Things Beautiful XOI started out with my Urban Decay Primer Potion– I actually pretty much always use the original. I then dipped into my Urban Decay Ultimate Basics Eyeshadow Palette (full review, swatches, & demo here!) because this palette doesn’t have any mattes obviously. I honestly use this palette pretty much every day anyway so you’ve probably seen it a lot.  I placed a bit of Instinct (a pink/purple muted taupe) in my crease to carve it out a bit for placement. That always helps when I’m trying not to go full glam because it gives me a start & stop point. I used Alter in my inner corner & patted underneath about 1/5 of the way into my lashline for brightening. On my lower lashline along with Alter I added some Lounge right against my lashes for that cool duochrome effect but I really didn’t extend it very much.

See more makeup, nail art, & beauty on All Things Beautiful XONow onto the fun part- purples! I patted Druggie across my entire lid leaving my outer corner more empty. This shade takes some building if you don’t want to make it more intense with foiling. In the outer corner & up into the outer crease I placed Backfire. I think these two shades work beautifully together & end up looking pretty seamless. I then took Druggie again to blend the line & brighten up the center of my lid. Above the crease I took a touch of Commando in the Urban Decay Ultimate Basics Eyeshadow Palette & then Nudie above that. Right under the browbone I place Blow but if I had a more intense eye look I’d probably go full glam & use Alter again for the gold pop! Then my usual liner, liquid liner, &, of course, mascara!

See more makeup, nail art, & beauty on All Things Beautiful XOI think the value is pretty insane for 10 eyeshadows that add up to full sizes in weight! That’s $49 for 10 FULL SIZE Urban Decay Eyeshadows! At this point, that’s cheaper than the drugstore most of the time so it is a steal. & all of these colors are fantastic- no duds or anything here at all. You’ll likely need another palette to complete your look with some mattes but that makes this palette a secret weapon which I’m completely okay with.
