One Week Naked 2: Day 1

Published by

Yay! My Urban Decay Naked One Week Series wrapped up the other day. 🙂 If you’re new, the One Week Series as I’ve dubbed it is a week-long series with looks using a single palette. I don’t know how long I’ll be doing this, as I have a lot of LE palettes, but let’s see! Anyway, for the meantime, I thought I’d carry over the series to another less-utilized palette in my possession: the Urban Decay Naked 2. I’ve said quite a lot of times that I prefer the Naked 2, but I thought I’d show you some looks with this palette, to kind of demonstrate why I feel like it’s much more versatile than the original Naked palette. I think Natalie is doing this along with me. 🙂 Be sure to check out her blog sometime today or this week! This is a pretty simple eye look! I really like it, even though I just made it up for this post. I’ve got Bootycall all over the lid over a MAC Paint Pot (Painterly), …

One Week Naked: Day 6

Published by

A super simple look for today’s Naked experiment. Blended Naked softly into the crease. Added Busted to the outer third of the mobile lid. Pat on Virgin on the rest of the lid. Darkened the outer crease with Buck. Lined my upper lash line with Creep and smudged it out. Curl lashes. Face: y.e.t Cosmetics Fill it Up Primer, Ellana Minerals Loose Foundation in Caramel Latte Eyebrows: The Body Shop Brow & Liner Kit in 02 Blush: MAC Powder Blush in Ambering Rose and Springsheen Lips: MAC Creamsheen Lipstick in Ravishing Hope you like it! I’m having a bit of a sick day today, but I wanted to play a little bit more with this palette. 🙂 I think it’s close to no makeup makeup look that is perfect for bright colored lips or cheeks. Anyway, have a nice weekend everyone! Follow me: Bloglovin' • Twitter • Instagram • YouTube • Facebook

One Week Naked: Day 5

Published by

One Week is a series I’m starting where I wear a single palette for a week, resulting into 5-7 makeup looks. I’m starting this series with Urban Decay’s original Naked palette. Of course. For this look, I did a cut crease with a shade that I never ever really use on the Naked palette: Gunmetal. It turned out to be way more wearable than I thought. I just softly blended that into my crease and tried to do a soft winged out corner… Did it work? I used Buck as a transition shade, and Virgin as a browbone highlight. Because why not? On my mobile lid, I have sin, and a bit of Toasted in the outer corner, and Half Baked in the inner corner, just because I thought it would be fun. I did a very, very thin wing with a liquid liner. Along my lash line, I smudged a bit of Gunmetal and on my waterline, I used Le Métier de Beauté Anamorphic Lash Mascara in Tamarack. I curled my lashes and applied …

One Week Naked: Day 4

Published by

Hello! This is Day 4. I am determined not to lose interest in this challenge, and I actually had fun with the palette today. I kept the lid light (mostly) and went to town on the lower lash line. This look was done over the NARS Pro-Prime Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base. (LOL the white stuff on my shirt is the LUSH Dry Shampoo, NOT dandruff, eek.) I first blended Naked into my crease, softly. Then I patted on Virgin on most of the mobile lid. I lightly put Smog on the outer ‘v’ and lightly blended it into Virgin for a soft gradient. On the inner corner, I used Toasted to make this look softer. You can’t really see it that well, but I think that it softened the whole look. I lined my upper lash line with Dark Horse using an angled brush. On the lower lash line, I went in with Smog and kind of smudged it down pretty low. I used Toasted on the inner third. Then, I felt like it was too …

One Week Naked: Day 3

Published by

Hello everyone! This post is up later than I’d like, and also features some atrocious photography, lol. I was playing with the colors on my camera and couldn’t really correct it well, and I didn’t get to take more photos because this was taken around 1:30 am, after a Phoenix concert (!!!), about 10 hours after initial application. This, I hope, explains the glistening~ skin, too. So now, it is the third day of my Urban Decay Naked challenge and I am, frankly, pretty bored. I ended up using a colored base (OCC’s Crème Colour Concentrate in Newt) and just a few colors in the palette. Oh, my base: y.e.t. Cosmetics Fill It Up Primer under the NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab. I used the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Ginger, too. I set my face with the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Mood Light, which did not get the job done because it is not a setting powder, lol. And then I spritzed my face with the Urban Decay All-Nighter Spray. For blush, …

One Week Naked: Day 1

Published by

I’ve been thinking about this series for a while, but it was Romzs‘ post on the UD Naked 1 that I finally decided to do it: a week of looks from the Naked Palette. I bought this quite a while back, but unlike most beauty nuts, this was not a love affair. I gave it a great review, but I didn’t really use it a lot because I jumped right into the arms of the rest of the shit I’ve been hoarding buying. I’m doing this week-long series on looks using the Naked Palette since I haven’t played with it so much, and I want to truly see what the fuss is about. So, welcome, and this is the first look! I used the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk as a base. On the inner two thirds of the lid, I have Sin. I have Toasted on the outer third of the lid and on the inner third of the lower lash line. I darkened up the outer corner with Creep and used it …

FOTD: Mauvelous Chestnuts

Published by

One of my resolutions is to be bolder with makeup, so expect to see more FOTDs and makeup looks on here. 🙂 This isn’t exactly breaking walls or pushing boundaries, but I think it’s a step beyond the dreaded neutral comfort zone. I’m sure you have noticed that I tend to be ‘safe’ and ‘wearable’ when it comes to my makeup looks, even when I’m using colors like green or purple. I think it’s my lid space. My lid space is so tiny, you barely see anything when my eyes are open! FACE: Snoe Beauty Let it B with WasaB BB Cream in Warm Honey, OCC Concealer in Y3, Le Métier de Beauté Eye Brightening and Setting Powder in Refresh. CHEEKS: Le Métier de Beauté Kaleidoscope Face Kit in Cheeky Chic (used Ondine and Electra) You can sorta see the ‘craziness’ up close. EYES: MAC Paint Pot in Stormy Pink, bareMinerals Ginger Sugar, Velvet Mauve, and Toasted Espresso, Majolica Majorca Lash King. EYEBROWS: The Body Shop Brow & Liner Kit in 02 LIPS: Maybelline Color …
