NYX Ultimate Utopia Palette Look #3
I was feeling a blue look on this day so I ended up creating this halo eye with the NYX Ultimate Utopia Palette.

For this look I knew I wanted to use that vibrant mustard yellow in the NYX Ultimate Utopia Palette and built the rest of the look around that.
My first attempted look with the new NYX Ultimate Utopia Palette. I just kind of picked out whatever random colors stood out to me without trying to plan the look out.
NYX 3 Steps to Sculpt ($12 for 15 grams) contains a contour, a matte highlighter, and an illuminator. The trio I am reviewing here is the shade Fair but there are four palettes to choose from for different skin tones.
NYX Sculpt & Highlight Face Duo is a two-in-one cream product containing both a highlighter and contour shade. The formula is not as emollient as the type of cream product you’d find in a pan but it offers a finish that looks more like skin than a powder. It doesn’t smell fragranced but it does have a very mild paint-like smell that I did not find noticeable during normal use.
NYX Matte Lipsticks are described as long-wearing, highly pigmented and non-drying. There are currently 33 shades available on NYX’s website.
NYX HD Eye Shadow Base is an eyeshadow primer that is supposed to make eyeshadows look more vibrant and last longer. It also claims to make eyelids look “smoother, more even toned.”
NYX Adorable Eyeshadow Palette is an inexpensive, mostly-neutral eyeshadow palette containing six eyeshadows. 4 of them are matte and 2 have glitter. What makes this one different than other neutral palettes is the inclusion of a baby pink eyeshadow. In general the shadows are sheer but do have plenty of color payoff when used with a primer.
Fireball is a very vibrant coral that can almost look red if applied heavily. It has a very soft balm-like sheen and has no glitter or shimmer in it. NYX Butter Lipstick comes in 22 shades and is supposed to offer intense color payoff while feeling lightweight and comfortable. These cost about $6.00 for 0.16 oz. / 4.5 g and can be found at Ulta and nyxcosmetics.com.
