I am a makeup lover, not a makeup artist. But I do enjoy slapping the slap on, so I thought I would start doing little step by step posts. Hopefully they will do down well 🙂
I did a really easy Autumn appropriate eye look using my favourite (I think) from the Naked Palette the Urban Decay Naked 2.
First up in this Urban Decay Naked 2 look, I primed using their Primer Potion, I would be nowhere in makeup land without primer! I just used my finger to add a small amount all over the lids.
Then I used the Maybelline Color Tattoo in ‘Pomegranate Punk’ as a base colour on my eyelid.
I just patted this on with my fingers, not taking it above the crease of my eye and used a synthetic blending brush to blend away any harsh edges.
Time to crack open the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette 🙂
To ensure any shadows I was going to use blended easily on my lids, I just used the same synthetic brush to add a wash of ‘Foxy’ from the crease up, it’s just a matte skin coloured shadow.
Using a Nima ‘Debs’ brush.
I dipped it into the shade ‘YDK’ from the palette.
I applied this on top of the Maybelline Color Tattoo.
This shadow has alot of fallout, in fact most Urban Decay shadows do because they are so soft, so I suggest waiting to do your concealer or even your whole face until after the shadows are applied.
Once I was happy with the colour on the lids, I cleaned off the Nima brush and dipped in into ‘Tease’
It’s a matte purpley taupe shade so works lovely as a crease colour.
And so I added this softly into the crease in window wiper motions and built up the colour in stages. easy peasy right?
For an added little bit of dimension, I took a smaller brush, this is the Real Techniques ‘Essential Crease Brush’.
I went into the shade ‘Busted’ and just added a small amount to the outer V of my eyes.
Not necessary, but adding in a bit of darkness makes it look a little more dramatic I think.
I then took the lightest shimmery colour in the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette ‘Bootcall’ and applied it to my brow bone.
Probably not a step everyone likes, you might prefer a matte, but for me I like a bit of shine there sometimes 🙂
Instead of lining my lid with a black or brown, I chose this Barry M pencil in ‘Bold Purple’. It’s a true purple with a bit sparkle running through it.
I applied it from the pencil, it’s nice and soft, and then I got it right into the lash line with a little liner brush.
I applied some mascara to my upper lashes and then for the lower lash line, I just blew out some ‘Busted’ shadow under there and left it at that.
I lined my waterline with L’Oreal Infallible pencil in ‘Night Day Black’. This is a dark grey colour.
If I knew I was out for the whole night I probably would have switched up this step and used a gel liner instead.
I added mascara to my bottom lashes then.
Final touch, again unnecessary and not for everyone, I used a pencil brush to apply some of the ‘Bootycall’ shade to my inner tear duct. I love doing this step, I think it just brightens my eyes and because I used purple shades it covers any purple under tones that might be visible on my skin there.
And there you have it, my really simple and of course unprofessional cool toned purple look using the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette.
