Urban Decay Flushed Review

I was in London and saw an Urban Decay store and just had to go in. I didn't already own anything from Urban Decay but of course have heard so much about their products that I had to go and look and of course leave with something. I wanted to get something that I didn't have a variant in another brand of at home and this caught my eye. I got this palette in the 'Streak' colourings. I had not been using highlighter and bronzer so needed to add them to my collection. The presentation of Urban Decay products is beautiful and I love the metal compact with a mirror in the lid. I like that they didn't bother putting in silly little brushes that wouldn't have been used anyway because it is jam packed full of product. I got the double ended brush that is recommended to go with this palette and haven't regretted it one bit. The formula itself is beautiful and really does what it should. The bush is beautifully pigmented and I don't need too much of to get the desired effect. If I do get a little too much I just keep blending with the brush and you soon can't tell. The highlighter melts into my skin bringing light and loveliness but isn't too shiny or sparkly. The bronzer is a great shade for me and blends in well. Since I hadn't used a palette like this before the sales assistant gave me a good rundown of where to put it and what to do with it and I've been really happy with the results I've got from it. I also have been having people ask me if I've lost more weight again and I haven't and I've put it down to the effect using the bronzer and highlighter has had on my face. Literally nothing as has changed in my makeup routine so I really think it's down to this palette. Will I cry when I hit pan? Yes. Will I covertly order another one and then hide it from hubby when it arrives until it looks a bit used and he won't know? Yes. Have I found a new favourite makeup product? Yes. I absolutely love this palette and really recommend it!

I got the flushed palette products in the On The Run palette. Now I love Urban Decay products but I honestly had no idea what to expect from the blush and bronzer as I had only really used their eye products. I was pleasantly surprised. Both products were super natural but also build able and worked with my lighter skin tone. I will continue to reuse and hopefully buy other blushes etc from UD :)

Urban Decay is my all. I love Urban Decay for it's eye appealing packaging & the colours they're commonly known to produce. Packaging: A sleek taupe flip top compact with embossed Urban Decay signature branding and the palettes name Flushed. Contents: A flip top palette compact, flips open with the lid holding a fullsized mirror for ease of use.The base holds a trio of profucts, blush highlighter & bronzer.The bronzer is matte brown with a red undertone,highlighter is a shimmer with a champagne colour the blush has a peach undertone all appealing in the compact to the eye. Not at all scarey,nothing overwhelming abut the appearance. Effects : The bronzer goes onto the skin quite dark, suits my face more as a contour shade around my chin, neck cheeks and hairline. Its got great stay power & super pigmented but be careful to build up the intensity don't pack it on at first contact you could come out looking orange. The highlighter isn't my favorite although I use it I'm learning to slowly steer clear of it. Being a champagne shade highlight it tends to draw attention to my imperfections& my fine hairs pick this product up clinging & giving that powdered effect, my pores don't like it & it leaves a shimmer with a chalky texture to my skin.. The blush is a rosey pink tone on the flesh& is build able combined with the bronzer it complements my fully rounded face in its own way. Again has good pigmentation & lasts hours. You can really have a naturally flushed effect with the duo. The three have good stay power but the highlighter is the first to budge &slip; around the face. The bronzer&blush; stay firmly for the entire day. Really this compact has it all & the colours are just completely complementary to each other both to the eye & on it's just so that my skin can't withstand the highlighter. I'm pretty satisfied with it though.I found that I'm using it as a contour& layering base compact.I love the convenience of the compact no fuss & no fall. Reason being it's pressed powder & you could brush the bronzer over the lids.The highlighter on the brow bone & bronzer as a blush. Very versatile. In all I rate the blush & bronzer very high marks the highlighter has the down marks... Not too disappointed....

One of my lovely friends gave me this palette, I've never used a highlighter, blush or bronzer religously before because I just cant seem to find the right products! My first impressions of this product were amazing, Packaging is super cute and sleek, fits nicely into my makeup bag. Doesn't come with a brush but that's fine because how many people actually use the stupid little brushes their blushers come with anyway?! I ended up using my own brush set to apply :) The bronzer is lovely, super pigmented so you dont need to use much otherwise you'll come out looking orangey. It's definitely buildable and you get a lovely, natural looking complexion! For the first time I'm actually regularly wearing blusher as well which is a miracle for me because normally I hate the stuff! It's a gorgeous pinky colour and again super pigmented! I'd say for myself the shades are very flattering on my skin tone, I do have quite pale skin. I'd definitely buy this and I'd definitely reccommend to a friend!

This palette is perfect for travelling because it's small and compact and has 3 products in it. The products themselves are sheer but buildable and good for every day use. The bronzer is quite warm so it can't really be used for contouring but it can double as an eyeshadow (as can the highlight) the blush and highlight are both really great products and give good colour payoff and not a lot of fall out. I find that this is a good palette for beginners because it has the all the basics for a nice, polished look

I’ve bought 2 different colours of this product(silly me!) as I liked how it’s so compact, travel-friendly 3 in one palette. I like the highlighter the most as it’s just so pretty, yet I rarely ever use highlighter in the first place, the blush second favourite, but I find I need a lot for a good colour pay off. They definitely look better in the pan than on my face though. My least favourite is the bronzer, but it’s totally subjective as I just don’t know how to use a bronzer, where to apply, why and how, I watched several YouTube videos that explained it, but I just don’t seem to see a difference in my appearance at all. I’ve tried it however as an eyeshadow and it was great though. Overall, I deeply regret buying 2 of this product and as much as I love the brand, I wouldn’t recommend this product.

I purchased this after hearing soo many good things about it but I'm not impressed. I love the highlighter, the contours ok and the blush is very average. I find the blush doesn't transfer colour very well from the palette to the brush and then to the face. I do love that it has a contour, highlighter and blush in the one palette which is convenient for travelling so this stays in my travel bag.
