The first thing, the packaging! Oh my.. I love Urban Decay's innovative packaging... they know how to catch the eye. Its sleek, unique and well ..pretty! The packaging on this palette features a wafts of smoke on top of lid, mainly shades of grey (hehehe wink wink) with a translucent base, a full size mirror and a magnetic closure. The case has been crafted outstandingly keeping the idea of "Smoky" very well in mind. Very Original.
In it you will find 12 shades that are neutral in their description to create various smoky eye effects.There's 9 never before seen shades and 3 exclusive ones from past palettes. To me there's 4 shades more glittery, 4 that are micro shimmer or satin and 4 matte colours, that how I would categorize them. Each shade is made using Urban Decay's "pigment infusion system" fusing smooth texture, blend ability, stay power & intense coloration. There are endless variations with these shades, from more lighter romantic smoky eyes to your intense seductive smoky eye looks ;) This palette also comes with a double ended brush, where one side is a tapered crease brush and the other end is a smudging brush & a lookbook the explains how to achieve four different types of smoky eyes in detail. Product and instructions for beginners or those who want a step by step information.
