One Direction Up All Night Makeup Collection

Let me just say, I know many rolled their eyes at the news of this but 1) I like One Direction and I refuse to feel shame about that, and 2) there are actually some pretty good gems in here. This is a mixed bag in terms of product quality, but overall a fun set that would please the One Direction fan in your life.

This comes in a really fun tin. There is a clear outer sleeve with the band on it, and the tin itself if just a simple brick design. Inside is housed a fun set of makeup, and included are some ideas for looks to create. First off, because I am an eyeshadow addict, we will go over the eyeshadow palette.

The eyeshadow palette had a couple of surprises in it. There are 5 shades in it, and they actually put names on them. Starting from the top left nude shade going clockwise are More Than This, Save You Tonight, Gotta Be You, Another World, and Up All Night in the center. I expected this to honestly be filled with duds. While I wasn’t happy with the quality of the two dark blue shades (Up All Night being a cream product), More Than This, Save You Tonight and Gotta Be You surprised me with their pigmentation and ease of application. Gotta Be You has a very soft, velvety texture. For the look above I used the pencil for liner and topped it with Another World for a bit of sparkle (though the sparkle seems to be only on the top layer of shadow). My brow highlight is More Than This, crease is Gotta Be You, and Save You Tonight is on my lid. From this quint Save You Tonight and Gotta Be You are the standouts and my favorite.

A navy eyeshadow pencil was included, and I really love the shade. It is a cream finish, and reminds me of the NYX Jumbo Eye pencils. It does need a primer to prevent creasing if you have oily lids like I do. It went on creamy without pulling the skin around my eyes.

Lipstick, Gloss, Gloss Over Lipstick

Included is a bright pink lipstick in I Should Have Kissed you, which has a matte finish. Also, a sparkly hot pink gloss called Taken. I was not impressed with the lip products despite their pretty colors. The lipstick went on patchy, uneven, and emphasized dry patches. The gloss is thick and goopy.

I actually like the mascara from this set. It made my lashes dark, and it didn’t clump up even after two coats. The wand shape was good at grabbing my outer corner lashes.

This polish is a really pretty bluish green shimmery mermaid shade. The bottle shape reminds me of Butter London. The formula is a bit sheer, and it took me 3 coats of polish to get full coverage on my nails.

Yes, I know I committed a terrible sin by putting white stencils on a white background. I couldn’t find my black one, and didn’t have anywhere else to take pictures. Hopefully you can see them. These are for using wherever you want, and I think they are pretty cute!

Overall this is a fun set. It is limited edition with the following release dates in the US:

  • Macy’s – August 11th
  • Stage Stores – August 25th
  • Dillards – August 25th
  • Beauty Brands – August 25th
  • Lord and Taylor – August 25th
