Naked Palette #1: Bridal Makeup

A picture is from my own wedding in February 2012! :)

In my opinion, when you look back at your wedding pictures, they should be timeless.  Following some whacked out trend and being embarrassed about your wedding picture in 20 years doesn't sound fun to me.  Personally, I think I picked out a classic dress, did classic hair, and had classic makeup.  

The following pictures aren't my exact makeup from the day (it was the trial I did a few weeks before my wedding day), but I did a similiar look, if not the exact same.  

 

Main Products Used:

• Too Faced Shadow Insurance
• Bobbi Brown e/s:
  - Mahogany (brows)
• Naked Palette #1 e/s:
  - Virgin (all over)
  - Darkhorse (lid/wing - used scotch tape)
  - Naked (to blend darkhorse and virgin together)
  
• MAC e/s:
  - Carbon (lash line)
  - Smolder Eye Kohl (water line)
• NYX e/s:
  - Highlight (under eye)
• L'Oreal Infallible liner in Black (lash line)
• Buxom Lash Mascara

For the face makeup, I mixed some of my foundations, probably MUFE Mat Velvet+ and CoverGirl TruBlend. Flawless skin is important! I topped it off with my HG powder, Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder. 

On the cheeks I have Smashbox blush/highlighter duo in AM/PM.

On the lips I have MAC l/s in Myth and Angel.

Happy Sunday, everyone!


I wasn't originally going to post this because I don't think it turned out very well.  But, I posted it up on MakeUpTalk.com, so I might as well do it here too.  :)

Main Products Used:

• Urban Decay Naked Palette - Creep, Buck, Sin
• Urban Decay 24/7 e/l in Zero
• Bobbi Brown e/s Mahogany (brows)

• Revlon Matte l/s in Pink About It
• Sephora l/g in Rosy Glow

FOTD: May 28, 2011

Main Products Used:

• Urban Decay e/s in Sin (lid), Sidecar (lid)
• MAC e/s in Soft Brown (crease)
• Bobbi Brown e/s in Mahogany (brows)
• L'Oreal HIP Cream e/l in Black
• Make Up For Ever e/l in 0L

Above: My Day Look.  My closed eye shots did not turn out.  Also, this one FAINTLY shows the colors of the purple. I don't know why my camera does this sometime.  If you have the palette, you'll know what these colors look like in real life.

Main Products Used:
Day:

• Urban Decay - Naked Palette:
  - Toasted (lid)
  - Hustle (outer V)
  - Naked (brow bone)
  - Buck (to fill in brows)
• Urban Decay e/l in Zero (tightlined)

Night, add ON TOP of this look:

• Urban Decay - Naked Palette:
  - Creep (large outer V - from the outer V tapering down to the inner corner - and under eye)
  - Hustle (mid section - vertically speaking - of lid)
  - Toasted (inner corner)
• Urban Decay e/l in Zero (tightlined and lashline)

To make up for my lack of "Day Look" pictures, here's a few of the night look.  The purple is more obvious in these pictures but still not up to real-life standards.  The last picture of the closed eye shows the "large outer V tapering in" stuff I was trying to explain.  :)

This is a pretty quick switch.  But a little more complicated than my Look #1 post.

Hope you like this!

Inspiration: Naked Palette - Day to Night - Look #1

 Above: The "Day" Look

Main Products Used:
Day:

• Urban Decay - Naked Palette:
  - Sidecar (lid)
  - Buck (crease and under eye)
  - Virgin (brow bone and inner corner)
  - Darkhorse (top lash line)
  - Buck (to fill in brows)
• Urban Decay e/l in Whiskey (tightlined)

Night, add ON TOP of this look:

• Urban Decay - Naked Palette:
  - Darkhorse (all over lid)
  - Virgin (brow bone)
  - Creep (over liner)
• Urban Decay e/l in Zero (tightlined and lashline)

My idea of "day makeup" and "evening makeup" is probably a little different than a lot of people.  I don't mind wearing a dark smokey eye in the afternoon, so this was my attempt to make soft looks.  :)  I have a more dramatic look coming!

My "Night Look" didn't photograph well.  But you can see that it's slightly darker and a little more dramatic.  It's a super quick switch from a clean and fresh look to a more smokey evening eye.  The whole switch probably took me about 30 seconds.  It'd be perfect for coming home from work, throwing on a dress, smoking up the eyes and going for dinner.  :)

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Inspiration: Naked Palette - Gold and Brown

Main Products Used:

• Urban Decay - Naked Palette:
  - Half Baked (lid and under eye)
  - Smog (lower section of top lid)
  - Darkhorse (top and bottom lash lines)
  - Virgin (brow bone)
  - Naked (to fill in brow)
• Urban Decay e/l in Whiskey

This is a nice dark brown smokey eye that "smokes" into gold (Half Baked).  Keeping with the original palettes that came with the double ended liners, I used Whiskey to tightline.  Also, to stay completely within the palette, the brows are filled with Naked. 

Inspiration: Naked Palette - Black and Blue

Main Products Used:

• Urban Decay - Naked Palette:
  - Gunmetal (lid)
  - Creep (outer V)
  - Sin (brow bone highlight and under eye)
  - Buck (filled eyebrows)
• Urban Decay e/l in Zero

Ask and you shall receive!  I've had several requests for looks using the Naked Palette, so here we are!  :) This is a very dramatic dark black and blue look.

I know many palettes came with the double ended liners, so that's the only liner I used.  Also, as you can see I filled my brows with Buck to keep with the Naked Palette products.  :)
