Happy Humpday Everyone! This marks the halfway point of my journey into mattes and nudes using the UD Naked Basics Palette. I hope you’ve enjoyed it thus far and have maybe even picked up some ideas on how to use this palette (or similar shades) for yourself! After going soft and easy with my makeup yesterday, I decided to pump up the volume today for a super glam look.

Here’s the breakdown:
I prepped my eyes using a mix of Too Faced Shadow Insurance and MAC Select Cover-Up to make the shades stay put. I used Naked 2 all over the lid up to the crease. Then I blended Faint into the crease and used Crave on the outer corner. Then I used W.O.S. to blend above the crease and up to the browbone. To lighten the inner corner around the tear duct I used Venus and then brought it along the inner half of the lower lash line. I lined the outer half of the lower lash line with Crave also. My L’Oreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Liner was the perfect fit for that glam winged look. On my top and bottom inner rims I used the Tarte skinny smolderEyes in Onyx. The look was completed with Revlon Lash Potion Mascara in Blackest Black. (That stuff is seriously amazing, I highly recommend trying it. One of the best Mascaras I’ve ever used)
