MUA Starry Night Palette Swatches

Another from my MUA Haul, this is the Starry Night palette, a collection of 12 muted greyed shades of silver, black, blue and pink/purple. Very cool toned palette in my opinion. All of the shadows in this palette are shimmers.

Again the sleek, black packaging that is common to all of the MUA Pro Palettes. You can see some of the fallout from my swatching here. Again none of the shadows have names so shall be referred to as TR and BR for top row and bottom row respectively.

TR1 – Dusky pink with silver shimmer

TR2 – Pretty pale barbie pink (somewhere between barbie and baby pink, but leaning brighter)

TR3 – Shimmery dark charcoal

BR1 – Steel grey with a very subtle rainbow shimmer (silver stands out most)

BR2 – Very pale shimmery grey, almost white

BR3 – Silver shimmer

 

TR4 – Iron grey/silver

TR5 – Shimmery steel blue

TR6 – Black with very very subtle silver shimmer, you could almost pull it off as a matte

BR4 – Greyed cornflower blue

BR5 – Dusky purple

BR6 – Dusky pink/purple. More muted and leans more purple than TR1

Again all the shadows are good quality, though this palette does contain a lot of very similar shades, more so than most. No real complaints aside from slight powderyness and fallout when picking up the shadows on a brush, doesn't really affect the application or end result though.

Favouries from this palette are BR1, BR4 and BR6.

Starry Night palette is available from Superdrug or MUAs online store for £4,

MUA Glamour Days Palette Swatches

I picked this palette up in my MUA Haul from last week and although it's not one of the new hyped neautrals palettes, I thought I'd share some swatches. This palette comes with a mix of bright, colourful shades and wearable neutrals. This is one of the few MUA palettes with matte shadows included.

As with all standard MUA pro palettes this comes in a sleek black case containing 12 shadows. not much else to say expect it's very shiny so picks up dirt and scratches easily and makes it a pain to photograph. So onto the shadows. As always none of the shadows are named, so my swatches refer to TR as top row and BR as bottom row, with the number of that shadow on that row:

TR1 – Pale champagne shimmer, lovely highlight colour

TR2 – Turquoise/Aqua blue with gold shimmer

TR3 – Warm red brown with red /pink shimmer when it hits the light

BR1 – Shimmer lavender

BR2 – Shimmery pale pink

BR3 – Golden tan (shimmer)

TR4 – Matte peach

TR5 – Matte tan

TR6 – Vibrant shimmery blue

BR4 – Dark matte brown

BR5 – Red brown with silver shimmer

BR6 – Pale shimmery tan, paler version of BR3

All the shadows are really pigmented and apply smoothly, I had no trouble with any of them. They are a bit powdery, so be prepared for a bit of fallout and some eyeshadow dust in your palettes, but it's not a massive problem and excusable when you get so many lovely shadows with good pay off. As always swatches were done over MUA Eye Primer, expect slightly less vibrant results on bare skin.

My favourites are TR2, BR1, TR4 and TR6.
