Glosses and Shimmery Eyeshadows from Ulta (and more!)

Budget to splurge: comparing 4 curling irons

I got a handful of new products to try out from Ulta recently and wanted to show you step-by-step how to apply them! I have to say that I was most thrilled about the customizable eyeshadow palette! How many times have you looked at a palette and found the most obscure colors inside that you know you won’t use? With this Ulta palette from Ulta and their range of eyeshadows, you can pretty much build any palette you want!

And as much as I like a matte lipstick look, I’ve been loving glossy options as we are heading into spring. They feel lighter and brighter, plus they’re really easy to wear!

I’ve also been loving the Brightening Vitamin C Body Scrub, which has been perfect because I’m loving all the vitamin C I can get right now. I keep the On-the-Go Makeup Remover Facial Towelettes in my vanity to wipe off makeup from the back of my hand, or clean up any fallout from eyeshadow that may drop onto my cheeks when I’m applying it. These are great, as well, for taking off all your makeup–even waterproof mascara!

I started out by applying the Matte Face Primer, which felt great on my skin. Primers truly make a big difference in how your makeup applies and lasts, and I love that this one felt hydrating without leaving any sort of shine behind!

I applied “Pin-up Girl” all over my lid first, then added “Suede” to the outer corner and crease, and blended all the shadows together with a blending brush.

“Pin-up Girl” is a universally flattering base color that’s great for almost any skin tone. It’s a really pretty light taupe shade that’s slightly shimmery without being too sparkly. I have worn this multiple times since receiving it and love how it reflects the light and blends in so well with other darker shadows to create a nice dimensional eye.

“Roaring 20’s” is one step darker than “Pin-up Girl” and is an absolutely beautiful shade as well.

I applied a bit of “Suede” under my eye with a smaller detail brush, but skipped any eyeliner to keep the look from being too strong or heavy.

A sheer pink gloss was all I needed since the eyes were the focal point of the makeup look. I went with “Lotus” from the Shiny Sheer Lip Gloss collection by Ulta.

This is my go-to makeup look because it has colors I feel really comfortable in. I like to stick with browns and neutrals, and then have fun with different lip colors. I’m happy to have some fresh options in my makeup kit to play around with for my everyday makeup!

This post was sponsored by Ulta, all opinions are my own, and seriously go make yourself a custom palette because it is great to be able to choose everything you want!

I stick to browns and neutrals as well – don’t really feel comfortable with anything else. The eyeshadows look great on you. 🙂

Hi there! Did you order your palette online or is it something you can make in-store? I’m always a little wary ordering eyeshadows online because the colors aren’t always true to how they look on the website. Thanks!

Love the idea of a custom colour eyeshadow pallete ! The worst thing about ones already made there is always a few colours you don’t even touch. The pinks of the glosses are ao lovely.

Any chance you could list ALL of the shadows you chose in the eye shadow pallet? I’m only seeing 2 or 3 listed in the post. They all look like great colors to try! Thanks.

How would you say Ulta’s eyeshadows compar to twofaced or bare minerals? I really like the idea of making my own pallet but hesitate because I’m not sure if the quality is comparable. Thanks!!

I was really impressed with the quality! They are buttery and pigmented, don’t flake away when you apply them!
