EOTD: UD Naked Palette Look #8

This is one of my favorite looks from the Naked palette, and the last I will be posting for a while. Im going to try to start showing you some looks from different palettes as well!!

STEPS:
1. Apply Toasted all over lids.
2. Shade Hustle into outer corners.
3. Use Sin as a highlight.

This is alot more mauve/pink in real life, but this photo makes it seems kinda brown - sorry for that. This look goes best with my skin tone out of all the ones i've created from the Naked palette, and i really like it alot!

EOTD: UD Naked Palette Look #7

This is one of the lightest and most feminine looks you can create using the Urban Decay Naked palette, in my opinion. It's very light reflective and eye brightening. I wore it on a date night with my husband and i really like this look! I used only 3 shades from the palette, once again a very simple and fast EOTD!

STEPS:
1. Apply Sin all over lids.
2. Shade Toasted into outer corners.
3. Sweep Virgin on brow bone to highlight.

Thats it! So simple, yet very pretty.

EOTD: UD Naked Palette Look #6

Happy Easter everyone!!! Today im showing you an old EOTD i created using the Urban Decay Naked palette - once again, lol. This is a very shimmery gold look. I apologize that the photo is slightly out of focus, it looked fine on the camera :\

STEPS:
1. Apply Half Baked all over lids.
2. Shade Smog into outer corners.
3. Use Virgin as a highlight.

You've probably noticed I generally only use 3-4 shades per EOTD and thats because im trying to keep it simple for you (and myself, lol) to show you how easy it is to make several looks from the Naked palette.

Hope everyone has a nice holiday!

EOTD: UD Naked Palette Look #5

This is the fifth look I created, some time ago, using my Urban Decay Naked palette. I used the two matte shades and a shimmer highlight. This was a really soft day look and perfect for people who like to look & feel like they're barely wearing in makeup. Very natural looking!

STEPS:

1. Apply Naked all over lids.

2. Shade Buck into outer corners.

3. Blend Sin onto browbone as a highlight.

So simple! Only three steps to create a beautiful matte look from this palette. 

$5 DUPE for Urban Decay Naked Palette!

Hey ladies! If you've been lusting after the Urban Decay Naked palette ($48) but havent been able to get your hands on it yet, check out the E.L.F. Beauty Book Neutral Eye Edition ($5) at Target!!! As you can see from the swatches they are eerily similar. Sorry for the bad quality on the first swatch set, they look good on my camera and bad when I uploaded them. Not sure how that happened.

The top row of swatches are from UD Naked, bottom row swatches are from E.L.F. Neutral Eye. As you can see they're pretty much identical, the only different I noticed was that obviously some of the E.L.F. shadows are not as pigmented and smooth as the UD Naked ones. But thats what you have to expect from a $5 product compared to a higher end brand. As far as shades go though, they're soooo close! 

Overall, I have to admit this is the closest dupe for Naked I have ever seen (even better than NYX Nude on Nude palette) and so cheap, you're basically saving yourself $43! What do you think?

EOTD: UD Naked Palette Look #4

This is the fourth look i’ve created from the UD Naked Palette. I applied… 

‘Virgin’ as a highlight on brown bone + inner corners, 

‘Darkhorse’ all over lids + bottom lashline, 

‘Creep’ shaded in outer corners. 

This is wayy to dark for a ‘day look’ if you ask me. Its definitely one of the darkest combos you can create from the Naked palette and probably better suited for night/evening use but i still like it.

EOTD: Naked & Natural

Today I combined some shades from my Urban Decay Naked, and Too Faced Natural Eye palettes. I started by using UD Primer Potion then I applied....

'Silk Teddy' from Too Faced as a highlight on brow & inner corners
'Push-Up' from Too Faced on inner half of lids & on bottom lashline
'Toasted' from Urban Decay on outter half of lids
'Cocoa Puff' from Too Faced shaded into outer corners.
'Creep' from Urban Decay as eyeliner on top lashline

I used Good Karma eyeshadow brush from Urban Decay, Ecotools shading & eyeliners brushes, and finished it off with CoverGirl LashBlast mascara in black and black eyeliner from AVON.

EOTD: UD Naked Palette Look #3

This is the 3rd look that i’ve tried from the UD Naked Palette. I applied 

‘Virgin’ as highlight on brow bone, 

‘Sidecar’ all over lids + under bottom lashline, 

and ‘Smog’ in outer corners. 

I finished it with Beaming Bronze liquid eyeliner from AVON, and the Falsies mascara from Maybelline. This is one of the softer, and one of my favorite, looks you can create by using the UD Naked Palette. My only is that 'Sidecar' is a glitter shadow, therefore if you dont apply it properly it does have some fallout.

EOTD: UD Naked Palette Look #2

This is the second look i have tried from my new Urban Decay Naked palette. It is marked w/ "threelilbears@tumblr" which is my personal blog and where i originally posted this before i created this blog. I applied...

'Smog' all over lids + on bottom lashline
'Dark Horse' in creases + on top lashline
'Sin' as highlight from crease to brow + in corners of eyes.

I generally dont like smokey/evening looks on me because im pale, but the shades in this palette go well with my skin color & hair color so i dont seem to be having a problem. It's pretty simply to use 3-4 shadows from this palette to create a full look, even a beginner would be at ease using Naked.

This look wont be one of my 'day' looks but i will probably use it mostly for date nights w/ my husband, or evenings out with the girls. **Check out my page for more looks from the Naked palette, and the Too Faced Natural Eye palette!!!**

EOTD: UD Naked Palette Look #1

This is the first look i created with the Urban Decay Naked Palette. I applied...

‘Virgin’ from crease to brow,
‘Sin’ all over lids,
‘Toasted’ in creases and along bottom lashline,
‘Hustle’ along top lashline as eyeliner.

I finished it off w/ deep plum liquid eyeliner on top & bottom and a thin coat of black mascara. This is alot more mauve/pink IRL and a nice alternative to regular nude shadows which are almost always various shades of bronze/brown. It will probably be one of my ‘day’ looks from the Naked palette.

Urban Decay Naked Palette

Woo! Definitely my all-time favorite palette. For those of you who dont want to spend $48 on this baby, think again. Its amazing and you can create endless looks with it, especially if you love nude, natural, or smokey eyes that are not boring! It comes with 12 shadows ranging from matte, satin, shimmer, and glitter, a Good Karma eyeshadow brush, and a mini UD Primer Potion. Keep watching my blog for EOTD /swatches of this palette!

- CASE:
I hate velvet, i dont know why but it totally creeps me out when i touch it and gives me goose bumps. Apart from that weird pet peeve of mine, the case is well made and good quality. Its thin but large so if you ask me it wouldnt be ideal for carrying in your purse, and most definitely wouldnt fit in a clutch. Overall, its cute.

- SHADOWS:
There are twelve shadows in this palette (as most of you will know). Some are matte, shimmer, satin and sparkle. The shadows arent very 'shimmery' if you ask me, even the shimmer and sparkle ones... the shadows in the Too Faced Natural Palette is much more shimmery. However, this palette had a wider range of shades which would allow you to create tons of different smokey, bronze, day, or evening looks. I swatched some of them on my hand and they are all very pigmented (except Virgin).

- SHADOW BRUSH:

The new sets come with a Good Karma Eyeshadow brush from Urban Decay instead of the double-sided eyeliner that the old palettes came with. The bristles are soft but firm and pick eyeshadow up & apply it well. It works much better than my Mark. eyeshadow brush from AVON. Very good quality and a $26 value.

- PRIMER:
Palette also comes with a small travel size UD Primer Potion. It's very portable and has cute packaging, but the primer itsself is very sheer. It 'primes' well but doesnt really serve as a base color other than give you a little shimmer and smoothness on your lids.

You can buy this palette at Sephora, sephora.com, and urbandecay.com when it is in stock. It is a permanent UD product so don't go wasting your money on pricey $92 palettes of Naked on eBay or amazon.com - it will eventually come back in stock for original price!!! If you really want it, just sign up for email updates and sephora or urbandecay.com will notify you when it

So what do you think? Are you willing to shell out the money for this amazing palette?
