Eyebrow Game #strong



Urban Decay Naked Basics : Faint
Urban Decay Naked : Buck
Watts up by Benefit
Angled Brush by elf
Lip brush & eyebrow comb (walmart?)



I usually begin with taking a wet brush (the "lipliner" one with the orange tip) and take the color Faint from the UD Basics to draw an outline of my brow where its needed. Usually this is just the arch. Then I use the elf small angled brush with a mixture of Faint and Buck from the UD Naked 1 and fill in my brows. I comb it all through and VoilĂ !

I used to use a Maybelline eyebrow pencil to do my brows but for the past 2 or so years I've been using shadows because it looks more soft and natural. I do however want to try the Hourglass waxy/pencil thing. It looks incredible. 

How do you like to do your brows?

Eye shadow look

I thought you guys would enjoy what look i've been wearing on my eyes lately so here it is in 4 easy steps!


* I used the original Naked palette and the Naked Basics so i'll be referring to those shadows

Steps:
1. I mixed Naked and Naked 2 and applied that all over my lids

2. I then mixed Buck and Faint with a fluffy blending brush and with a light hand, applied that to my outer corner (outer 'V') and half way thought my crease

3. I took Walk of Shame and Foxy and applied that as my inner corner highlight and applied it also to the very inner part of my lids

4. I then took a really dense eye shadow brush and blended all around the edges so that the harsh lines looked faded

Apply eyeliner and mascara and c'est fini!!

Try it out and leave a picture for me to see? :)

Naked Basics First Impression


SO, I did it. I bought it! I was debating whether to get the Naked 2 or Basics. I ended up buying this one because, A. I still have plenty of my warm shimmery Naked palette left and B. The basics was cheaper. Now, you could probably go to another (million) blogs with amazing lighting and swatches but here are my horrid swatches anyways :)

The 1st thing I really really like how I don't own any of these colors! Haha All the colors are smooth and velvety, almost like butter. Seriously amazing quality guys! The color I will probably get the most wear out of i'm guessing would be Tease. It's similar to Buck from the original Naked palette but a bit cooler. This palette in general, and in my opinion are cooler tones just as the Naked 2 are. I still love all these colors regardless of warm or cool tones.

I believe this palette was 32$ (Canadian of course) And I think it was a total bang for my buck! (Get it? Buck? like the color I like the most? Harharhar) Especially since I love any Matte finish makeup.



Do you think it's work the money to buy the Basics if you have the original or the 2nd? What do you think about it in general?
