Coffee & Makeup

Somehow today’s look turned out to be something you might wear during the holidays. All the eyeshadows are from the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette and just for fun I thought I’d throw on a pair of false lashes to amp things up a bit.

This is a little bit of a random look that uses an odd combination of products. I was trying out a few different items that I purchased recently and wasn’t really intending to do a look but I liked how it came out so I took some pics. You can totally use whatever you have in your own collection to recreate this. The colors are warm brown (crease), cranberry (outer lid), dark silver (inner lid), copper (lower lash line), and white gold (inner corner). As long as you can find these types of shades in your own collection, you’re good to go!

I don’t typically think of doing a matte look with Urban Decay unless its with one of their Naked Basics palettes, but you can actually use their new Naked Smoky palette for this type of look. I love that they included a good set of basic matte colors because it really makes the palette much more versatile. This look is darker than an everyday eye but it’s less dramatic by opting for a thinner eyeliner, leaving the lower lash line light, and using the black eyeshadow sparingly but strategically.
