Urban Decay Full Spectrum Custom Palette

We can't think of anything which would more thrill a budding make-up professional (or just a slap-mad young woman) than this rainbow-bright Urban Decay Full Spectrum Palette. To be blunt, we'd probably not go near any of these shades ourselves. (Well, maybe the darker tones, for eye-lining.) But that doesn't mean we can't see the glory of this: a full spectrum (literally) of 21 velvety, rich shades perfect for experimentation, along with a great blender brush to load colour onto the lid.

The palette itself is darned special, too: the lid itself features a 3-D jewel logo – while the mirror's just fantastic for seeing the whole face. (We'd definitely use this as a full-face make-up application mirror, in its own right.)

The possibilities and permutations are almost endless.

So have fun, fun, fun with this.
