Urban Decay Naked2 Palette Tutorial: Sophisticated Day to Night

Presenting my very first Naked2 Palette tutorial!  This was my first Urban Decay palette purchase, and I quickly became obsessed.  I chose the Naked2 over the Naked because I was attracted to the taupe based colors versus the more copper based ones in the original palette.  I love the infinite varieties of looks that can…

Urban Decay Smoked Palette: Rockstar Tutorial

I’m feelin’ like a ROCKSTAR!! This look will do that to you.  Definitely channeling Avril Lavigne with this one.  While not my typical go-to look, the “Rockstar” actually came to grow on me as the day went on. Using the beautiful purple in the Urban Decay Smoked Palette for which this look is named gives…

Urban Decay Smoked Palette: Iconic with Color Tutorial

Here is the second Urban Decay Smoked Palette tutorial, “Iconic with Color,” from the UD Smoked Lookbook!  This is very similar to the “Iconic” look, but instead of using neutrals to build your smoke, you use Loaded–a deep green.  As you can see, it’s a super subtle way to work color into your makeup routine! …

Urban Decay Smoked Palette: Iconic Tutorial

Here is the first Urban Decay Smoked Palette tutorial!  This is the “Iconic” look from the UD Smoked Lookbook, which is a very traditional, neutral smoky eye.  Although you use mostly brown shadows to create this sultry look, it turns out quite dark and I wouldn’t consider it a “Brown Smoky Eye.”  It’s perfect for…
