Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
Listen, I want to start a bit of a new series.
There are so many palettes and
collections and releases of makeup recently.
Listen, I'm down for new collections,
new releases, everything like that.
But there are some that's
like, you shouldn't have bothered.
This is actually kind of boring, and
a lot of people aren't into it.
So what I want to do is a new
series, I don't know what to call it yet.
Something like, we can fix that or we can
change that, where we take really kind of like,
boring releases that could have been something amazing.
You know, I always complain about the MAC and The Sims one
kind of like that, and make them into something a
little bit more entertaining and what it could have been.
It's all personal opinions based on maybe
what I would have done and feedback
that other people have given also.
So today we are going to take a look at
the Urban Decay and She-Hulk collection.
Just before we get into that today, if this is your first time here, hi,
my name is Robert.
I'm a professional makeup artist here
on YouTube, also in real life.
And it's my goal to help you become a
pro yourself or just someone who... I forgot, or
just someone who's really good at makeup.
So if that sounds like something you are
interested in, then do please consider subscribing and
give this video a thumbs up.
Yeah, okay, let's take a look.
So this is the Urban Decay and She-Hulk with Disney.
Disney+.
So I first saw this on a page on Instagram.
Do I need to set up? Am I just...
Yeah, I'm slouching. On a page called Trendstopia
that I follow on Instagram, and they always
have the latest releases, everything like that.
And I put on my Instagram story,
I reposted the comment, post, and was like, oh.
And people were like, yeah, looks great.
Or people were like, oh, yeah, it's really boring.
And I had to confirm, I was like,
oh, that's a bad oh. Like, it looks boring.
Okay, so here's why in me,
to me, in my opinion, it looks slightly boring.
It's because if you take away most of
the fun colors, it's a neutral palette.
It's very Revolution-esque in terms of
the way they've set it up.
A few colors are Hulk, Hulk, She-Hulk adjacent, and
then kept it super neutral the rest of the time.
And I get it kind of has to be wearable, right?
But at the same time, this is a limited
edition collection with a studio, a brand, a character.
You know?
Like if it's, if it's your own palette then fine, do what you need to
do. Or not, fine, but do what you need to do.
But when it's like, with... you're kind of like opening
yourself up to a whole new audience, because fans of
Marvel, fans of She-Hulk will go towards this brand, you know,
if they collect things to do with that particular character.
So I think to have something like
this is a little bit boring.
And was that a face palette?
I haven't seen that anywhere
else except from these things.
Anyway, so what I've done, I have taken the
palette and added two more items to the collection.
I have to say, on Trendstopia as well,
they did their own palette, which actually looks
a lot better than the Urban Decay one, anyway.
So what I did is I have
taken two images from She-Hulk comics.
One is a newer kind of cover art, and the
other one is an older one where she was in
Fantastic Four, I believe, because she's wearing their uniform.
And I have created a completely
different palette. Still with the green.
I think with the green, the main one, I haven't changed
the names or anything because I'm not doing all that.
But the main green, called Hulk Out, in the
Urban Decay one is slightly... it needs to be
yellower green, like more of a toxic green, because
her skin tone is this yellow green.
And I always call it toxic green, but it's
like this really nice yellowy Nickelodeon slime green, almost.
So I have also added two
other products to this collection.
I have added a clear gloss with a
tint of green just because on, like, a
redder lip, it kind of neutralizes the tone.
Green looks great on top of red tone lipsticks.
Just to change it up a little bit.
Makes it more, it kind of does this
whole magic color neutralization on top of everything.
So it's a really sheer green.
I've also taken one of their iconic products that
people may buy in this limited edition product and
then continue to use once they've run out, because
it's a product that you're constantly using.
I've taken one of their All Nighter setting sprays, the Ultra Matte.
I couldn't actually use, obviously, the
color they've used on the palette.
So I found something similar and wrapped the product in that.
Kept the top purple for green and purple.
I'm just thinking from a business point of view, that's a
product that people might buy limited edition that use it,
like it, and go back to that brand for it.
And it's a product that will be
more than likely used on the daily.
So it's a return products like mascara's are for brands,
or brow pencils or lipsticks are for some brands.
It's that return products that will keep
people coming back to your brand.
Okay, so let's take a closer look
at my version of the palette.
So we have, obviously, the Hulk Green in the middle.
This is more of that greeny tone.
I believe on the actual palette itself,
it's like a transformative shimmer.
But I was thinking of the way it might sit on top
of all skin tones as well as a product by itself.
And it does have that potential to look slightly gray green,
so I went with something that's a little bit more bolder
in pigment and a bit more creamier in texture.
I've tried to use real texture where I could.
And if I couldn't find the exact color that I wanted,
I just put a flat kind of block of color.
So, the first row on the left is purples, right?
Not just because I like purple, but purple
that you see in She-Hulk's uniforms and costumes
throughout the decades, as I have taken
from this cover art here, all the
different uniforms and costumes she has worn.
Those three colors together are a look within themselves.
So they can be used all together, or they
can be used in conjunction with the neutrals down below.
I've chosen three neutrals in this palette.
One that's a little bit more orangey in tone, one
that's more of a true brown and then more of
a lighter neutral that would almost have that kind of,
like, neutral... not gold, but like that taupe, like, brown.
Just so there are neutrals in there.
So for some people, it's not too much of
a risk to buy this palette because I know
some palettes with bolder colors aren't for everyone.
So what I've done on the top row here is
I've added a white just because I think that's a
good staple, a matte white for a palette.
And also it's in her Fantastic Four uniform.
Also as well, I've used this kind of, like, darker green that has,
like, a black green shift because of her hair.
You can see this picture
her hair has that really nice... and actually
throughout the time period, she's had this really
nice greeny, dark green shift to her hair.
So I've chosen that as, like, the hair color.
And then I've chosen a lighter, even more yellower green, like
a lime green, to go along with these shades.
Again, that top three row can be used by itself.
It can be used in conjunction with the rows underneath.
It can be used with any of the neutrals as well.
Green and purple is a great combination,
as we can see from here.
So all those purples can be used
with the green. The blues underneath,
so these are more tones that were
taken from her Fantastic Four uniform.
I think she was in Fantastic Four.
She's wearing the costume.
Maybe she was in it for a day.
But even from her lawyer suit, things like that.
So we have a deeper, more navy blue,
which is matte, which I think would look
really beautiful, which actually goes with everything.
I love a deep navy blue because you can just
put a shimmer on top and it'll look good.
You can just use it by itself, and it looks good.
You can add a bit of black, you can add a
bit of white, and you can go either way with that.
Now, the lighter blue isn't actually taken from any part
of She-Hulk in any way, but I did want
something to kind of offset to match that white and
offset the darker blues, because the choice of blue isn't
really in depth when it comes to her.
So this is a really super short video.
But my idea for that palette was, if we're going
to go with a heavy theme where you're reaching out
to fans, not only of Urban Decay, not only of
makeup, fans everywhere of a different genre or something, you
need to deliver. The original Urban Decay palette,
the She-Hulk one, just wasn't exciting,
and I missed those days
where you have palette releases.
We are having so many releases recently.
What makes yours different?
You're given a whole character, a
whole universe, a whole studio. Marvel, it's marvel.
It's exciting.
And then you release a palette that is beige with
the occasional, like, this is kind of fun. A nice
purple, a nice blue, and niceish green.
When it could be something more. I would have purchased
it had it looked like the one I made.
Of course, because I made it, so I like it, but
that's how I would have wanted to see it.
But it's just, it was a big, big disappointment.
I would love to know how
you would change up this collection.
Is there anything else you would add?
I don't think a face palette was really necessary
for that collection, because you don't really think blushing
cheeks and all this kind of stuff for She-Hulk.
Maybe like, a green color changing lipstick as
boring as they are, you know what I mean?
But people buy it for the novelty,
and people buy it for the character.
So I think they really missed
out on an opportunity there. I really do.
But let me know what you would
have added to the collection below.
Let me know if there's any other
collections you want me to see do.
No matter how old they are, no matter how
new they are, that you thought brands kind of really
failed on, I would love to see that.
I would love to know your opinions there.
Do consider subscribing.
Give us the thumbs up, and I
will see you very, very soon. Bye.
