My URBAN DECAY Project

This idea started months ago, I wanted to learn how to depot Urban Decay eyeshadows so I could fix them into an old pencil tin where they would be more useful.  I find that i usually reach for a palette rather than single shadows, so I thought what better way to make sure I make better use of the single Urban Decay shadows I have than this.....

However, after researching how to do this, I decided to take it a step further and create a professional looking palette that would look good stood alongside the other official ones on my shelf.

I measured the size of the shadows and bought an empty 28 shadow palette from ebay, I knew it wasnt going to be the best quality at £4 (that was including postage from China), but when the palette came I was thrilled with the quality, its pretty sturdy.

I then got some SHARPIES, in metallic, silver, bronze and gold (£3 for the set on offer at Sainsburys).  I used these to create a fairly simple design on the outside of the palette itself, using the Urban Decay logo and phrasing.

I did this while I was ill in bed, I think I could have made a better job of it but I was really looking for things to keep me busy while I was ill, that said its not a bad job and I quite like that I kept it quite simple.

This is what I used to make the palette:

Hair straighteners

Glossybox paper

Standard scissors

Nail scissors

A towel

Urban Decay eyeshadows

Empty palette

Tealight

Matches

Glue dots

If you want to see how I actually depotted the shadows, fixed them into the palette etc, then please check out my video on YOUTUBE:

But heres how it looks now, its not complete as I need some more shadows to finish it off but its getting there, I had great fun making it and now I can make better use of those single shadows.

LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH
