Urban Decay Laced Swatch

What does Ms. Faux Think?  Well this is her favorite eye color.  It is a pinky taupe-matte that is perfect for that all natural look.  While Urban Decay's eyeshadows come in an array of colors and finishes, I do care for this a great deal because it is more natural.  Also this blog is about to sound like an ad for Urban Decay, but I'm sorry... they just get it.  They do eyeshadows better than anyone so deal with it.

Best in Palette

They’re neutral enough for a range of skin tones—from cool to olive complexions to darker skin—and they’re perfect for creating a neutral matte eye or base eye looks with your favorite bolder shadows. It even has one shadow with a subtle, satin finish (Skimp), which is ideal for highlighting and adding dimension.
