Makeup By One Direction..."Up All Night" Collection Review & Tutorial


I've been stuck in a makeup rut.
Brown, gold, beige, taupe, bronze.
I don't often venture into bold, bright colors when it comes to makeup. Sometimes my lips get a little wild and colorful...but not my eyes. At least not often.
I had the opportunity to get out of that rut with the fun, playful new Makeup By One Direction. I had a blast creating some club-worthy looks with the "Up All Night" collection.
Up All Night Collection

Watch the video to see the peacock-inspired eye look I created with these gorgeous, quality shadows:



In the video, I also give all the details on the performance of each item in the collection: eye shadow palette, liner/crayon, lipgloss, lipstick, mascara, nail polish and vinyl stencil set.

Here's my swatching of the colors of this collection:

Check out these shots of a more tame, everyday look I also created with this same palette.

And here's one look that's a bit between the two, using the neutrals above with that gorgeous, deep blue.

US RELEASE DATES: Macy's - August 11th Stage Stores – August 25th Dillards – August 25th Beauty Brands – August 25th Lord and Taylor - August 25th

I really like all the stuff in this collection, though the pink shade of the lipstick isn't really right for my complexion.
One Direction Lipstick is Extremely Pink
HELLLLOOOOO LIPS!!!
 I did find that when I put the lipgloss over the lipstick, it suited me a little bit better.

I'm more comfortable in neutrals/browns, though I will sometimes go bolder for fun. How about you?
Do you like to wear bold colors or neutrals best?
