I also starting a "Dupe The Vibes" style post earlier this year within my Shop My Stash where I check out the swatches of a newer palette that I'm somewhat interested in and would consider purchasing, and then I go through my collection and come up with shadows that are similar or as close to dupes as possible from within my collection.

Part of my sticking to a monthly makeup budget is to focusing on getting use of products that are already in my collection and being a little more conscious about bringing in a bunch of products in to my collection that I already have!
The Urban Decay Naked Ultraviolet palette caught my attention as it was a pretty purple palette - I liked that it was a half neutral, half colourful palette as I felt like it was something that could travel well and make a variety of looks with. But, also it wasn't a perfect palette for me as I thought it was very shimmer heavy (and I like lots of shimmers), so for something less than perfect for me, I didn't really want to spend almost $70 Canadian on it. I did like the vibes, so I thought it was something I could recreate within my own collection!
Of course, I'm by no was discouraging you from buying the Naked Ultraviolet palette if you are interested, it's just not something I need to add to my collection, so I'm trying to focusing on loving the palettes I have already!
The palettes that I used for this look are:
-Pat McGrath Labs MTHRSHP Subversive La Vie En Rose Eyeshadow Palette
-Too Faced Razzle Dazzle Berry Eyeshadow Palette
-ColourPop My Little Pony Pressed Powder Shadow Palette
Here's a look at the swatches from the Sephora website (I will be honest, I matched these prior to actual swatch photos being up and this palette looks pretty varied in pictures!) I do think I did pretty good at colour matching, there is a few I'm a little off on and I went a little more nude on the neutral side and went a little more brown than mauve. Also, I only had a little less shimmery purples in my collection, so there was a few shimmer/matte swaps, but that's the whole point of "Duping The Vibes", it's not exact dupes, but I think I matched the overall feeling of vibes of the palette.
The shadows I used are:
-Bribe from Urban Decay Naked Reloaded (compared to UD UV Trippin' - a warm ivory satin)
-Blur from Urban Decay Naked Reloaded (compared to UD UV Mind Slip - soft peach matte)
-Reputation from Urban Decay Naked Reloaded (compared to UD UV Dazed - golden pink shimmer with gold micro-pearls)
-Bucked from Urban Decay Naked Reloaded (compared to UD UV Hacked - nude mauve matte)
-Burn from the Urban Decay Naked Reloaded (compared to UD UV V.R. - raspberry sparkle with iridescent micro-shimmer)
-Firefly from the ColourPop My Little Pony (compared to UD UV Lucid - holographic green pearl shift)
-Skydancer from the ColourPop My Little Pony (compared to UD UV Optimized - lavender matte)
-Rose Risque from the Pat McGrath La Vie En Rose Palette (compared to UD UV Warning - bright pink satin with purple shift)
-Paranormal from the Pat McGrath La Vie En Rose Palette (compared to UD UV Cyber Punk - violet shimmer with pink micro-shimmer)
-Euphoria from the Pat McGrath La Vie En Rose Palette (compared to UD UV Euphoric - cool-toned light purple with blue shift)
-Twilight from the ColourPop My Little Pony (compared to UD UV Purple Dust - ultraviolet with iridescent micro-shimmer)
-Bad to the Berry from the Too Faced Razzle Dazzle Berry palette (compared to UD UV Digital - smoky black with red micro-shimmer)
For this look, I started with Bribe as a base shadow and Blur and Bucked through the crease. Then I deepened the crease and outer corner with Paranormal. Then I added on Twilight to the outer lid, Euphoria to the middle lid and Skydancer to the inner lid. Then I applied Rose Risque on the lower lash line and Firefly to the inner corner of the eye.
I love how this eye look turned out and the purples are so pretty, but it was a little hard to work with so many shimmers! I think they do look good altogether though!
The other products I used for my eyes are:
-Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer
-Make Up For Ever Aqua XL eye pencil in light purple
-MAC Cosmetics Eye Brows in "Spiked"
And the products I used for my face are:
-Wet n Wild Colour Icon Bronzer in You're Dragon Me Down
-ColourPop Disney Designer Enchanted Mirror Pressed Powder Blush
To finish the look, I used the Hard Candy primer, Catrice foundation, Hard Candy concealer under the eyes and set it with the Laura Mercier powder and finished the face with the Guerlain powder. Then I used the Wet n Wild bronzer, ColourPop blush and used a purple highlighter from the Revlon palette. I finished the look with the Cheekbone lipstick and Skindinavia setting spray.
What are your thoughts on the Ultraviolet palette? Something you're interested in or dupeable?
