Seriously if there’s one palette you need to add to your collection this holiday season, it’s this. I’ve already mentioned the Urban Decay Heavy Metals palette during Christmas Gifting Week but I just had to talk about it some more and show you some swatches. Metallic shades are clearly the trend this season and Urban Decay have gone all out!
As I previously said, the Heavy Metal’s palette is created like an artist palette so it complete slides out to look like a paint mixer. One side has a mix of gorgeous champagnes, bronzes and reds while the other side is much more out there with blacks, silvers, blues, purples and even a green! I can’t help but be drawn to the champagne side, I haven’t stopped using the shade ‘ANGELFIRE’, it beautifully highlights the inner two thirds of the eyelid.
All of the shades in this palette are insanely soft, creamy and pigmented. Urban Decay have truly outdone themselves with this palette. It retails for only £43.00 baring in mind you get 20 shadows, each shadow costs only £2.15, a complete bargain! There is a shade for every occasion with this palette, I think it’d work for every style of makeup.
*As always my swatches are unedited and in natural lighting to show them as realistically as possible*
I absolutely love this side of the palette, the shades are perfect for making an everyday look a little more sparkly and magical. This is going to be a staple for me this Christmas.
I think you can tell from the swatches quite how beautiful the shadows in this palette really are. All of these swatches are only one single swipe in the palette, the colour pay off is just amazing. The shadows really pack on well and you don’t need too much product to create an extremely sparkly, metallic look. If my post hasn’t convinced you enough I’d highly advise heading to your nearest Urban Decay counter and swatching this for yourself, you’ll be sold in seconds!
If you’d like to know more about the whole Heavy Metals Collection don’t forget to check out my post.
Is this palette on your Christmas wish list? Are you a fan of metallic shadows?
I love that pinky shimmery shade – Scream. I wasn’t sure about this palette because I have the Moondust one and it’s more of a palette to use over the top of other colours than on their own. This looks so pigmented though!

This palette looks gorgeous! I love how Urban Decay have created the palette so there are more ‘out’ there colours on one side and then what I would call everyday shades on the other side. The pigmentation looks insane from your swatches too – this would be a great Christmas gift to give a beauty lover!

I have recently purchased the Naked Heat palette and want every one they have ever put out there now. The bright and bold coloured side looks a little too out of my comfort zone, however the opposite side where the shades are more autumnal look great. Starfire and Scream look so pretty.

This palette looks absolutely beautiful! It’s so shimmery and shinny! I think it’s beautiful and perfect thing to give at Christmas x
I’m absolutely loving metallic shades lately so this just seems like the dream palette for me. I do find Urban Decay aren’t always consistent with pigment and quality but these look amazing from the swatches. I love the more colourful side most! x

Ong these are so pretty!! Especially the skin tone side; they look gorgeous. (I can’t get over how all of these seem to complement your skin.) I’m also a little bit sad that I can’t use them for painting; they’re so pretty!
Punk Rock and Metalhead look like such amazing shades!! I already have far too many Urban Decay palettes but this could make its way into the collection… I absolutely love the design of it aswell, such a clever idea!

These shadows are stunning and so pigmented. I’m not sure about the packing though this year x
I love urban decay for eyeshadow palettes! I find the pigment is better than most other brands. I love the look of that glam rock shade – perfect for Christmas parties! Xx
I love Glamrock and Amp! Although the more natural low-key shades are more my thing I think the others are gorgeous too.
There’s really a colour for every occasion in here isn’t there! 😍
The shades are all absolutely stunning and I love your swatches – they look amazing. I’d have to say the reds and yellows are my favourites from this palette I probably wouldn’t wear many others from the palette x

I love the warm golden shades in this palette but i also love that there’s another side of colors more outside of my comfort zone. I think I want this palette!

This is such an interesting palette! It really reminds me of Christmas for some reason and I’m totally in love with the shade ‘twisted’! Great post hun. Xx

I’m always a little nervous when it comes to metallic shades, but these all look amazing! While I’m forever a matte fan, sometimes it’s nice to change things up a bit.

I love the look of this pallette and would definitely purchase if I had the motivation to do good eye looks on a morning, but for now I’ll stick to my naked basics hehe xx

Those colors are gorgeous! I almost never wear makeup, but I know a lot of people that would absolutely love this palette! 🙂
ooooo, nice to see a palette that covers both natural and more “bright” colours in the same set, I love that. I’d usually have to get a few to get such a mixture.

If I could justify the cost, I would purchase this palette. I love your photos too!
I want to wear ‘amp’, but I reckon it’s a bit ‘out there’ for me.
Thanks for sharing 🙂

Oh my god, this is too stunning! I didn’t think I wanted this too much but after seeing your swatches I’m now obsessed! Deffo going to add this to my wishlist! xx
