Quick Makeup Look- Brown Full on Smokey Eye
Using Urban Decay Naked Pallet 

Just one comment! Bare in mind I had, had the rest of my makeup on all day so it looks a bit shoddy. The idea popped into my head and I wanted to quickly give it a go. So I may actually re- create the look and take pictures properly throughout application.

So here's the look! It is more of an evening look, because in person it is quite full on and dark. The pictures and CRAPPY lighting do not do it justice.




First to help the colour stay, becuase I will wear this look on a night out; I used Max Factors Smokey Eye Effect Eye Shadow to give the brown more of a shimmer. I applied this all over the lid and extended out into the V to give the cat eye look.
I do like this product except the fact it creases a little, so be sure to use a primer!


I then used Urban Decay's Buck over this Shadow Effect to set and to add more shadow then creamy shimmer





I then used Urban Decays creep in the outer 'V' area and slightly through the crease to give more definition to the brown and darken the colour in the outer corner.


And finally to brighten the eye I used Urban Decays Sin in the inner corner

Ok... not finally, I also added some black eyeliner to my upper lash line in a cat eye shape following the shadow to add more darkness to my lashes. I like dramatic lashes!
Any eyeliner will do, preferably a gel or liquid. Though i suppose a coal liner smudged into the shadow from the lash line would look great!

Finished look! and bellow are the brushes i used! Loving Mac brushes, but that may be because before had I only had drugstore ones. Definitely hoping to buy some sigma soon. Does anyone have suggestions on good brushes? Comment below :)

Hope this was helpful in some way, or inspired someone to give it a go. It's so so soooo easy! just need to get the shape right :)

Thanks for reading xxxx
