Urban Decay Naked Palette

Tried out the Naked Palette by Urban Decay and I love it..

2.Then I placed "half baked" (gold colored e/s) on my lower lid.

3. "Smog" e/s above the crease

4. "Virgin"e/s as the highlight

5. smoked lower lash with "creep" and "hustle" e/s

6. MAC eyeliner smolder- lower upper and inner

7. MAC opulash mascara in black

My face was my recent usual- moisturize, makeup forever HD primer, NARS foundation, makeup forever HD powder, NARS orgasm blush and MAC lip gloss in Oyster Girl!!!

Ke$ha inspired look

Hi me again- This is a Ke$ha look from her album. I watched one of my favorite youtube make-up artists do this look and here is my re-creation.. This is a messy smokey eye with a little glitter-it was fun to recreate and so quick. Literally took 8 mins. Here is how I got this look.

HOPE YOU LIKE

In order-

1. Primed my eye with Urban Decay primer

2. Used any gray eye liner on the eye lid- place all over the lid lower lash-line

3. MAC "smoke and diamonds" whole lid

4. Urban Decay silver glitter liner- called Glam Rock and put that all over the lid and under neath the lower lash line

5. MAC black tied e/s along the upper and lower lash line.

6. MAC e/s electra and placed in the crease and a little above

7. MAC e/s vapour as a highlight

8. MAC eyeliner in smolder- on inner up and lower lash

Mac beautiful Rubenesque paint pot

I was heading out the door the other night and honestly wanted something quick to put together.. I was wearing all black and it's winter so I am extra pale (unless I fake bake).. Anyway, I came up with a really cute look- Using all MAC shadows- I first placed Rubenesque Paint Pot on the whole lower lid and then I used rice paper as my highlight and gold mine on my inner corner and lower lash line. After doing that I took Urban Decay 24/7 black liner and lined my upper and lower lashes.. I then curled my lashes and added mascara... 5-10 mins tops and I was out the door... It's a beautiful look on any eye color or skin tone.. Hope you try and please leave me some feed-back..
