Lets do battle...Urban Decay Vs MUA

Hi Beauts.

I'm pretty sure that everyone has either read or watched comparison reviews of the UD naked 2 palette and the MUA undress me too palette. Originally I wanted to write up a blog post too, comparing both. However, I figured that there are so many out there so id do something a little different. 
I've created an eye look, on one eye I have Urban Decay and on the other I have MUA. I used the same colours from both palettes and I think they turned out pretty similar


The colour payoff is a little stronger from Urban Decay but that's to be expected, Urban Decay are famous for the pigmentation in their shadows. Having said that, MUA eyeshadows are amazingly pigmented too especially for the price.
I found them both really easy to blend and didn't really need to pack on the colour. The only shade I had a little trouble with was 'Corrupt' from the MUA palette. The pigmentation wasn't as strong as the other shades in the palette, or  as strong as 'Blackout' from Urban Decay. 
I found the colours in both palettes to be very similar but wouldn't say they were exact dupes, definitely alternative shadows though.


All in all I'd recommend either palette, it just depends if you want to splash out or save. I had to get both because I'm a make up addict and I just can't help myself :P

Do you have either or both? What's your favourite shade?

P.S I'm on bloglovin too (if I can figure out what the heck I'm doing!! haha)

    1. Thank you :) I just thought it would be easier to see the difference on the eye rather than a swatch on my hand. That and I had fun playing with the palettes lol

  2. I like a softer look on the eye so the MUA wins for me.. although I do own both. MUA is such a great drugstore brand.
