Are you tired of using the same old makeup brands and colors? If so, you're not alone. I was in the same rut until I stumbled upon UP Cosmetics. This luxury cosmetics brand, created by Una Tynan and Pippa O’Connor Ormond, offers a range of innovative products that are worth exploring.
UP Cosmetics packaging is stylish and opulent
Upon receiving my package from UP Cosmetics, I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of products inside. The packaging alone was stunning, with metallic boxes that exuded elegance. Opening them revealed beautiful gold palettes and lipsticks adorned with the "Up" logo. The attention to detail was evident, with a satisfying magnetic fastener that gave a pleasing "snap" when closed.
Let's delve into the products and see how they perform:
The Quad Two Eyeshadow Palette
The Quad Two features four eyeshadows, including two shades of brown, a shimmery hue, and a contrasting pink shade. These colors complement each other perfectly and can be worn alone or combined for both a daytime and a glamorous evening look. The eyeshadows are easy to apply, whether you prefer using brushes or your fingers. With their high pigmentation and buildable formula, achieving the desired effect is effortless.
The Ten Palette: Your Ultimate Companion
The Ten Palette is my personal favorite among the products I received. It contains eight neutral eyeshadows, a shimmery highlighter, and a sculpting face powder. Whether you prefer a natural everyday look or full-on glamour, this palette has got you covered. Unlike other palettes, I found myself actually using all the colors as they complemented my dark brown eyes splendidly.
The Ten Palette - versatility at its finest
The Silk Shimmer Highlighter: A Touch of Definition
Enhance your makeup with the Silk Shimmer Highlighter. A small amount applied to the inner corners of your eyes will make your eye makeup pop. Even after a long day, the eyeshadows remained smooth and crease-free.
The 5 Second Eyes Cream Eyeshadow
If you're looking for convenience, the 5 Second Eyes cream eyeshadow in the shade Brownie is a must-have. With its deep chocolate brown color and subtle shimmer, it blends effortlessly with the other palettes. You can achieve a soft look with a single application or build it up for a more dramatic effect.
The Trio Two Palette: Your All-in-One Solution
The Trio Two Palette consists of a highlighter (Golden Glow), a blusher (Just Peachy), and a sculpting powder (Power Sculpt). This versatile palette allows you to use each powder individually or mix them to create a unique hue. I even used them as eyeshadows, and the colors worked harmoniously with my brown eyes. The highlighter, when lightly applied, adds a natural sun-kissed glow that lasts all day. The blusher's soft, buildable color provides a pretty rosy glow suitable for most skin tones. As for the sculpting powder, I'm still perfecting my technique with the help of YouTube tutorials, but it looks great on my eyes in the meantime.
The Perfect Nude and Siren Lipsticks
No makeup look is complete without lipstick. UP Cosmetics offers two stunning shades: Perfect Nude and Siren. Perfect Nude, a pink-beige nude, suits all complexions, while Siren adds a touch of drama with its stunning red color. These lipsticks glide on smoothly and have long-lasting color. Their creamy texture leaves your lips feeling nourished and moisturized, making them a winter essential.
The Las Vegas Lip Gloss: A Luxurious Finish
Searching for the perfect lip gloss can be a daunting task, but look no further than the Las Vegas lip gloss. With its smooth and hydrating formula, this gloss contains pink and gold reflecting particles that provide just the right amount of shimmer. Unlike many lip glosses, it doesn't feel sticky on the lips. One application is all you need for gorgeous, shiny lips.
In conclusion, UP Cosmetics offers an array of high-quality products that exceeded my expectations. Stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new makeup looks has never been easier with the help of these fantastic cosmetics. So why not start the new year by updating your makeup collection and giving UP Cosmetics a try? I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
