Tips from a Pro: Simple Steps to a Sultry Naked Glow

Don’t have enough palettes in your makeup kit? Well run out and quickly grab - before they all sell out again - Urban Decay’s Naked Palette. You’ll wonder what took you so long when you open the sleek velveteen case to find 12 full size shadows. This highly sought after palette contains a variety of finishes and an amazing color range that includes shimmering champagne, warm shades of brown, deep satin bronzes and dark metallic’s.

How often do you find a palette that is truly universally flattering to all skin tones? Plus, the shadows are rich in color, silky smooth and blend easily. And for all day wear, be sure to use Urban Decay’s original formula eyeshadow primer - in travel size - that’s included. Urban Decay also throws in their cruelty-free Good Karma eyeshadow brush.

Because the colors range from subtle to dramatic, your look can be taken from day to night very easily. Whether you want smoldering gorgeous eyes or a soft neutral lid, you can easily create dozens of looks with this versatile palette.

Smog (a golden brown shimmer), Darkhorse (a bronze-plum shimmer) and Toasted (a taupe-bronze) are my favs for creating that sultry eye. Those colors each look great applied directly to the lid and smudged around the lower lash line for a dramatic effect. Buck (a brown-matte) or NAKED (a buff mate)  is a great crease color than can be blended with an angled brush. Then, apply Virgin, (a nude-satin) on the brow bone for highlight. Finish by adding a couple coats of mascara to your top and bottom lashes and eyeliner to your top lash line and you've got a great evening look.

If you’re a fan of Urban Decay you’ll be happy to know they’ve included seven of their existing shades and added five newbie’s to this incredible palette.

Whether you’re a professional artist or a makeup junkie, for $48 this irresistible palette can be a great addition to your makeup kit.

Until next time beauties,
