Urban Decay Optical Blurring Foundation Brush Review

After purchasing the urban decay naked 2 palette I decided to look into more of urban decays range, and I came across the 'optical blurring foundation brush' I was going to purchase the real techniques foundation brush, but I decided to go for this instead and IT IS THE SOFTEST BRUSH I HAVE EVER TOUCHED IN MY WHOLE LIFE! This foundation brush is absolutely faultless and I love it so much! When I saw a photo of the brush on the internet I thought, there is no way that the bristles can be as soft in person as they come across in this photo... But I was wrong... This is a picture of what the brush looks like in person... Yes, the softness is real.

As I said I cannot fault this foundation brush. Even though the brush was developed to be used with urban decays naked skin weightless ultra definition liquid foundation, it still works with every single other foundation that I have used. The bristles on the brush are INCREDIBLY soft and the synthetic, cruelty free hairs on urban decays brush are divine... No scratching or tickling! It also cleans and dries so fast and easy without any hairs falling out... The size of the brush is also perfect and easy to manipulate around your nose chin and eyes so that blending the foundation is a breeze!

Like the naked palette, this foundation brush may be slightly on the pricey side, but it is so worth it and it makes applying your foundation a hell of a lot easier. 

My Naked 2 Palette Review

Wow.. My first reaction when I opened this palette, was just, wow. It is simply incredible. This palette has every eye shadow a girl would ever need, from white to black, all the colours in-between, matte or shimmer, it is incredible.

The Naked 2 Palette is made up of 3 matte shades (white, brown and black) and 9 shimmery shades. It comes with a double sided brush for both applying and blending eyeshadow, it also comes with a lip gloss attached too.

This palette allows me to achieve every eye look I could ever want, whether that is for school, a meal out, a party or an interview, this palette has everything. I use this palette on a daily basis and I am starting to hit pan on 3 colours, which all happen to be next to each other, the 3 last colours in the palette, YDK, Busted and Blackout. These are generally my every day colours. What I like to do is cover my eyelid in YDK as a lovely shimmery base, then either apply just Busted into the crease and outer corner, or sometimes for more depth and drama I also add blackout to darken the look up. These are my favourite eyeshadows in the whole palette.

I have used every shadow in this palette at least once before and they are all very pigmented and easy to work with. They blend beautifully with any brush, not just the one that is provided, they all have a slight fall down to them but nothing major. The colours last all day and night and are extremely easy to remove.

I think that the naked 2 palette is such an amazing essential eyeshadow palette in every girls makeup collection! It's so difficult to find an eyeshadow palette with white, black AND everything inbetween all in one! It provides such a range of shades to try out different styles with and I absolutely love it! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is contemplating it. I know its a bit pricey, but for all the eyeshadows you get, plus a brush and a lipgloss, it is totally worth the money.
