Neutral Taupe w/ Urban Decay 15th Anniversary

I love how the shades in this palette can be manipulated by layering them.  By using Midnight 15 as a base, it sofetened/lightened the depth & pulled both the brown/bronze shades into a taupey look.

Midnight 15 lash to brow
Deeper on the lid
MIA in crease
Midnight 15 on lashline
Virgin (f/Naked) on browbone
Wasteland 24/7 Shadow stick on lower lashline & waterlines

Soft Neutrals w/ Urban Decay 15th Anniversary

This was my first look with the palette.  I have always loved UD's neutral shadows, in fact I always thought neutrals were boring and bland on me until I discovered Mushroom in the Book of Shadows! :)  Anyway here's what I used:

Midnight 15 lash to brow
Chase on the outter 2/3 of lid

Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette Swatches

I just love Urban Decay's eyeshadows and this palette is a knock out. They are all incredibly pigmented & soft.  Here's swatches!

Left to Right:
Midnight Rodeo~ Metallic light taupe w/ glitter, it doesn't have terrible fall out & is actually easy to use
Midnight 15~ light metallic nude w/ microfine gltter, virtually zero fall out
Vanilla~ ivory w/ yellow gold pearlized sheen
Flow~ pale peach with white sheen
Chase~ light sunlit bronze, just as rich as Baked, but the base color is lighter, less yellow
Tainted~ medium thistle matte that developes a slight golden pearl when buffed.  This color is crazy unique and awesome!
Junkshow~ hot pink w/ blue pearl.  This color is fairly sheer but easily buildable. I love it! 
Omen~ Medium lavender w/ blue pearl.  This looks like the pressed version of Morphine 24/7 stick.
Evidence~ sooty black base with blue shimmer finish.
Deep End~ Incredibly rich teal w/ blue green shimmer


Left to Right:
Evidence
Deep End
Deeper~ Dark golden brown shimmer
M.I.A~ Deep bronze brown shimmer
Ace~ Charcoal metallic shimmer
Blackout~ Black matte, this one is a little stiff, but applies well
Half Truth~ gorgeous cool toned purple w/ silver metallic shimmer

I have a boatload of looks that I've been doing with this palette to post later this week :)
