Urban Decay Naked2 Palette: Minimal Makeup + Contouring

In honor of finishing my Smoked Palette Series, I thought I’d pull out my Naked2 and do a really minimalist makeup look.  The anti-smoky eye, if you will.  This is great for daytime adventures, work, or any time you don’t feel like wearing a lot of makeup, but don’t want to look like you just…

Urban Decay Smoked Palette: Series Snapshot

Doing the Urban Decay Smoked Palette Lookbook series has been so much fun and such a blessing!! I’ve been so overwhelmed by the support that I’ve received from all of you since I started this project.  I’ve learned a lot since then and I hope to only get better for you!  Thank you so much…

Urban Decay Smoked Palette: Reality Star Tutorial

Welcome to the LAST Urban Decay Smoked Palette tutorial!!  Now, that is not to say that I won’t be using my Smoked Palette in any more looks because Lord knows how much I love it, but I’ve finally completed my Lookbook series.  HOORAY!  I’ve loved doing this series so so much and I appreciate all of the support…

Urban Decay Smoked Palette: Red Carpet Tutorial

Want to be red carpet ready?!  Then this look is for you.  The Red Carpet look is an extremely pretty version of a smoky eye and would be great for any big event.  It’s actually quite similar to my wedding day makeup.  It’s dramatic and eye-enhancing, but not at all over the top.  I chose…

Urban Decay Smoked Palette: Midnight Tutorial

HOLY MOLY.  I did it again!!! I let it go too long between uploading my video tutorial and posting.  So, finally, here is the post for my Urban Decay Smoked Palette Midnight tutorial.  This was another one of those Smoked Palette looks that I dreaded doing because a bright blue smoky eye isn’t usually my…

Masquerade Ball Halloween Tutorial

Happy Halloween Part 1! I wanted to do a fun costume tutorial for y’all and luckily my good friend Myla came up with the idea of doing a mask a few weeks ago. After finding some not so amazing inspiration on Pinterest, I decided that I would play with a lot of fun colors rather…

Urban Decay Smoked Palette: Vixon Tutorial

I’ve got another Urban Decay Smoked Palette tutorial for you today!! This look is called “Vixon”–a traditional, black smoky eye.  It’s a really simple look with only a few steps, but it really packs a punch.  It’s super sultry and dramatic.  When I was browsing the Lookbook, this one seemed to be a bit over…

Naked2 Palette: Fall/Holiday Look

For my latest Naked2 look, I was inspired by the look I got at the Beauty School Happy Hour event by Shyn Salon.  It was such a fun event, with champagne, a list of fun hairstyles to choose from, a jewelry show from designer Haley Lebeuf, and Smashbox Cosmetics, what’s not to love?  When I…

Urban Decay Smoked Palette: Cat Eye Tutorial

When I first got my Urban Decay Smoked Palette and was flipping through the Lookbook, the “Cat Eye” caught my eye and was probably my favorite of them all.  However, upon doing it on myself, this is the first look that I haven’t particularly liked.  I can’t quite put my finger on what I don’t…

Kristen Stewart Look

One of my subscribers requested a Kristen Stewart look, and I jumped at the idea.  I may or may not be (but definitely am) a major Twihard, and she always has the best edgy looks on the red carpet.  I knew that my only problem would be choosing just one!! I ended up settling on…
