Brown/Gold Smokey Eye - Naked Palette Urban Decay


Step 1- Apply your favorite foundation & concealer. after you are done, powder your face to set it all in

Step 2 - Prime your eye lids using any eye shadow primer. i used urban decay's primer

Step 3 - Fill in your eye brows with what ever shade you are most comfortable using.i have used 'coquette' by Mac

Step 4 - With a flat eye shadow brush apply the color 'naked' all over your eye lid and under your water line. (naked is very nude almost skin type color with no shimmer.) 

Step 5 - Use the color 'vigin' on your brow bone and in the inner corner of your eyes
Step 4 & 5
Step 6 - Now apply 'buck' in your crease line and then 'half baked' all over your eye lid, focusing on the inner most corner. blend out the edges.

step 6
Step 7 - Pat on 'smog' on the outer corner of your eye and then blend out the edges to create a smokey effect.
Step 8 - To further intensify the smokiness pat on some 'dark horse' to the outer corner and blend it in with a blending brush 
Step 8


Step 9 - Apply your favorite black eyeliner and mascara. i am using a pencil eyeliner by loreal and Rimmel 'Day 2 Night' mascara in Black 
Step 9 

step 9 

                                                       
Step 10 - Apply your favorite lipstick, i would suggest a nude pink or nice light brown. i am wearing a lipstick by Rimmel called 'asia'. Next add a flush of color with some blush i again suggest  sticking to a shade of  pink or brown i am wearing 'well dressed' by Mac.
