Ooh. La. And La. I’m not going to keep you waiting on what I really think about Urban Decay Ammo Shadow Box. It’s simply amazing.
UD created this palette to celebrate their 10-year anniversary, and there’s a reason why it’s still so popular: the colors are stunning, pigmented and blend well. What more could you really ask for?

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Ammo Eye Palette Review
The Urban Decay Ammo eye palette is now my go-to makeup every morning. Even if I’m wearing another brand’s shadows as the main colors, I still end up using this for highlighting and contouring. It really is that versatile!
Before I talk about the shades, let’s get into the product itself. It’s pigmented, so you don’t need a lot to get intense color. I did experience slight creasing at the end of the day, but not a lot. So it’s best to use an eyelid primer before applying these shadows.
There are 5 shades in the Urban Decay Ammo palette with glitter/heavy shimmer, and you will experience some fallout. I don’t mind this because the fallout wasn’t too much and it added some fairytale fun to the look.
Don’t be intimated by it! If you’re not sure how to wear the colors, stick to the basics. Use the darker shades for definition, contouring and as liner. There are a few good highlighting shades, too. Once you get more comfy, have lots of fun mixing and matching the colors! See the first look here: Urban Decay Ammo Eye Look.
