Hey everyone!!! Wow! What a long time it has been since my last post! I do apologize. Life has been throwing my some punches, but I'm back and ready to show you guys some great looks!
Today I used my Urban Decay, Naked2 palette to create a sexy golden eye look. This look is something that I find myself doing a lot whenever I don't have enough time to think of or experiment with new looks. The natural colors that I use go with pretty much any outfit and can be worn as a day or night look. Plus, gold is one of those colors that looks good on every eye color.
In this photo I have my NAKED2 palette which also came with the double ended brush and the mini lipgloss you see. Next, I have my Lush Lash Mascara, Eyeshadow Primer Potion in "Greed", and my 24/7 glide on eye pencil in "Zero"....all of which are Urban Decay. The Lush Lash Mascara is UH-mazing. It has vitamins in it to help your lashes grow and condition them as well! I live it mainly because if the great separation you get with the brush. CLUMP FREE!
Lets get started, shall we?
1) I stared off by filling in my brows (tutorial coming soon) and applying Greed all over my eyelid as well as underneath. I applied the primer underneath, along my lower lash line because I will be applying shadow there as well.
2)Begin by applying the color Half Baked to the lower part of your lid, up until you hit your crease. Be sure to PAT the color on instead of sweeping. Patting helps to put more pigment on the lid and is also a gentler on the skin. The skin on your eye is the thinnest and most delicate! You want to be as gentle as you can to prevent wrinkles!
3) Now its time to add some drama and depth to the eye. You can do this by taking your crease brush and applying Busted to the crease. For this you want to use a back and forth motion. Make sure to blend the darker color with the lighter gold, Half Baked. Drag Busted about 3/4 (or less depending on what you feel is right) of the way inward towards your inner corner of the eye. You don't want to do all the way over because that will make your eye look smaller and cut off. Leaving a little space will give the illusion that your eyes are nice and big.
For more of a night time look or if you just want some more drama, apply the darker crease color to the lower lash line. Take it about 1/2 if the way over then fin in the other half with your lid color.
4)Next, I applied Bootycall to my brow bone. This is called your highlight color. What a highlight color does is gives you're brows a more define and cleaned up looking arch. Some days I just fill in my brows, apply a highlight color to my brow bone, throw on some mascara and go.
5) Finish the look by applying some mascara and eyeliner. For this, I applied Zero along my waterline and my upper lash line. Lining your water line gives it more of that sexy, "come hither" look.
Viola! Now you have a sexy, golden, everyday eye. Again, this is my favorite go-to look. It is so simple and sexy. I encourage you to give this a try. Remember to blend the colors all together!
Hope you beauties have enjoyed this! Thank you again for all of your support and patience.
