UD Naked Palette: Look 1 (day time natural)

Hi all

As requested, I will post a few looks primarily using the Urban Decay Naked palette. This first look is day time, office appropriate.

Btw, if you dont have the UD Naked palette, look at this post where I compare it to MAC eyeshadows.




Items used




Lid: sin, highlight, virgin, eyeliner: creep, lower lashline: darkhorse








First few pics only have sin on the lid. you can stop here, or add some Buck and Naked to define the crease as shown here




Defined crease with Buck, blend with Naked

Every day/neutral/work approriate eyeshadow combos

I prime my lid with MAC layin low paint pot (this was LE unfortunately, I have not found a comparable product yet)

Combo 1:

  • wash of MAC Brule (or Milani Almondine eyeshadow) all over the eye area
  • pack MAC Grain on the lid. I apply 2-3 sheer layers to get a lovely glow on my lids. Really brightens up my face
  • crease - a sheer application of MAC Texture, and darken with MAC Cork
Combo 2:
  • If I want a warmer/peachier look, I substitute MAC Brule and Grain with MAC Tete-A-Tint and Arena.
  • same crease as above- a sheer application of MAC Texture, and darken with MAC Cork
For both looks, apply a thin line of black liquid liner, black kohl on waterline, curl lashes and one coat of mascara

  • Base: MAC Painterly, MAC Vanilla (eyeshadow, not pigment) as a wash over it
  • Lid: MAC Naked Lunch, with Stila Sun to give it some warmth
  • Crease: MAC Follie (used to create the soft cut crease)
  • Blend out the crease: MAC A little follie and Cork
  • Above the crease: MAC Brown Script

  • Upper lash line and waterline: black kohl, with some liquid e/l on the upper to intensify the look
  • Lower lash line: MAC Embark below waterline to create a smudgy sultry-ish look
