Make Up Battle! Urban Decay vs e.l.f.

Are you on a budget but want the joy that is the Urban Decay Naked palette? Loads of Gals swear by it not just for the use it has as an eye shadow palette, but for it's use in contouring, especially on the nose. There actually is an alternative. First off, however, let's look at Urban Decay.

What have we here? Twelve colors and a dual-ended pencil are included for your $48.00. There's tones included for smokey looks as well as deep neutral colors as well, with a combination of cool and warm tones to make any skin tone happy.


Where does that leave e.l.f.'s offering? Let's have a look.

This is a photo of the set I just bought, which I think is a few months old to be honest. You get twelve colors, a pencil, and applicator. There's some nice matte shades and a few shinier ones, so you have your contouring colors as well, and it has the same range of tones the Urban Decay set has. It also retailed for $5.00, though I purchased mine for $4.00 as it was an older package. This regularly gets re-released, and I think it's a great buy.

I'll be posting pictures of what I've done with it soon, so keep your eyes here!

J!
