Face of the Day (FOTD) - A Neutral Look

Here is a neutral makeup look that I did featuring the Naked Palette by Urban Decay and Venomous Villains Products. I have been wearing this look for the last couple days and it is perfect for the daytime. I love reading face of the day posts on other blogs so I thought you would enjoy :)

Products Used:

Eyes:

• Mac Painterly Paint Pot
  
• Naked Palette eye shadows in the colors Virgin, Naked, Toasted and Hustle
• Naked Palette eyeliners in Whiskey and Zero
• Loreal Voluminous Mascara
  

Face:

• Palladio Herbal Primer Potion
• Nars Sheer Glow Foundation
  
• Mac Studio Finish Concealer
  
• Mac MSF Natural
• Mac By Candlelight MSF
• Mac Briar Rose Beauty Powder
• Clinique Almost Bronzer
  

Lips:

• Mac Innocence Beware

First I primed my face with primer potion and applied my foundation with my fingers. Next I applied concealer and MSF powder to set my foundation. The I applied painterly paint pot on my eyelids. With a flat shader brush I put the color toasted all over my lids. I then took a Mac 217 crease brush and applied naked in the crease and blended it up. Next I put hustle in the crease, focusing on the outer v and blended it out. I then took a Sigma 219 brush and smudged hustle right under the lower lash line. After that placed virgin on the brow bone and on the inner corner of my eyes. I used the double sided urban decay liner that came with the palette and lined my upper lash line with the color zero and my water line with the color whiskey. To finish off the eyes, I curled my lashes and applied loreal voluminous mascara.

With a Mac 129 Brush I placed briar rose beauty powder on my cheeks. I then applied by candlelight on my cheek bones as a highlight, which gives a nice glow from within. With my Sigma 150 brush I applied my bronzer all over my face, focusing on the hollows of my cheeks, temple, and jawline. Lastly I applied the lipstick innocence beware to finish off the look.



I hope you liked it! Let me know what you use for your neutral eye look.

Urban Decay Naked Palette Review

I am so happy that I finally own this much anticipated Naked Palette from Urban Decay…and yes ladies, this palette definitely lives up to the hype. Unlike many other neutral palettes which contain one or two “eh” shades, all the colors in this set are gorgeous and highly pigmented.
This palette comes with twelve full size shadows, with shades ranging from delicate champagnes to dark gunmetal, and textures ranging from glitter to shimmer to matte. The palette is packaged in a dark brown velvet case with the gold words “Naked” across the top. It contains a mirror inside, the shadows, and an double-ended eye liner in the colors zero and whisky. A travel sized primer potion is also included.
The first thing that came to mind when I saw this palette is the great value for the price. This kit costs only $44 which is an amazing price when you consider that a single Urban Decay eyeshadow costs $17 and you are getting 12 full size shades plus extras!

The Naked Palette includes:

• Virgin (satin chamois)
• Sin (champagne)
  
• Naked (matte buff nude)
• Sidecar (cocoa with golden sparkle sheen)
• Buck (matte nutmeg)
• Half Baked (subtle, lustrous bronze)
• Smog (deep coppery bronze)
• Darkhorse (bronze patina)
• Toasted (rich copper)
• Hustle (plum brown satin)
• Creep (onyx with gold sparkle)
• Gunmetal (gunmetal gray with silver glitter)
• Zero (black) and Whiskey (creamy rich brown) eyeliner double-sided eyeliner
• Primer Potion

The eye shadows are pigmented, smooth, and blend easily. The Naked Palette is perfect for creating everyday, office-appropriate neutrals, summertime bronzy looks, or sultry smoky eyes for a night out. It is ideal to take when traveling and the color options are endless! I really can't say anything bad about this palette, everything about it is just right, I love all of the colors.

If you have not had a chance to pick this palette up, I highly recommend that you do so. Fortunately, the Naked Palette is a permanent Urban Decay item so you should eventually be able to snag one.
