5 Minute Makeup: Neutrals with Urban Decay’s Naked Palette
The Way It was MEANT to Be: So Neutral!
Okay, so I’m pretty the Urban Decay Naked Palette was designed with neutral looks in mind, not so much the ultra smoky look I did yesterday. So this neutral look follows that smokier look up as a quick, work-safe alternative made easy by that palette.
Happy weekend everyone!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (neutral eyeshadow base), Urban Decay Virgin Eyeshadow (light champagne beige), Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow (matte medium brown), Urban Decay Darkhorse Eyeshadow (dark chocolate brown), MAC Grain Eyeshadow (highlighter), Urban Decay Whiskey 24/7 Liner (red-brown), Bobbi Brown Denim Extreme Party Mascara (blue)
- Face: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (140), Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder (translucent)
- Cheeks: Chanel Plum Attraction Blush (deep plum)
- Lips: Chanel Emotive (#68) Rouge Allure Lipstick (red-wine), Urban Decay Perversion Lip Junkie (purple-gray)
- Brushes: 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 116 (dense blush brush), 208 (thin, angled brush)
For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using the 239, apply Naked eyeshadow into the crease with the 226 and feather above the natural crease until it fades. Next, apply Virgin eyeshadow all over the lower lid with the 239. Define the crease with Darkhorse eyeshadow using the 219, and then lightly blend Naked eyeshadow softly over it with the 226. Blend Grain eyeshadow with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Whiskey liner on the lower lash line. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Plum Attraction blush on the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116.
For lips, apply Emotive lipstick first, and then layer Perversion lip junkie for a complementing lip.

No prob, VeroJo!
Absolutely gorgeous! Please do more tutorial using the Naked palette
Thanks, Azza!
Wow, are you wearing contacts? I love all those colored spots in your eyes. They look reptile like, very exotic! Thanks for letting us know about the Naked Palette. I love UD, and have been wanting some of those colors esp Smog. I also wanted Bourbon, but didn't like the glitter so I am excited about whiskey. Can't wait for my order to come in the mail!!!!!
Nope, no contacts!
Love the neutral look on you, especially paired with those lips!
Thanks, Raychel!
This is so gorgeous! I cannot wait to get my hands on this palette and start experimenting. I need more quality neutrals, and UD really has pulled out all the stops on this one. It's just so classy! Loving the lip color with the subtle eye. It pulls the entire look together!
Thank you so much, Marina!

Hi Patri! Thank you so much! It is such a pleasure to have you reading :)
i am not a big fan of this lip... i think it's way too dark
Sorry you didn't like it!
I can't get enough neutral looks!
Yay!
Christine,again,do you think this look would work if you used Chanel Dragon on the lips instead of this combo? Just wondering...
Yes, you totally could! This look pretty much works with ANY dramatic lip color :)
Christine,no one but you could pull this look off! Bravo!
Pffffft! I bet you could :D
pretty!
Thank you, Mai!
Eek!! So so so pretty! Loving the lips. And the blush.

Absoltuely gorgeous! I love that lip combination, and with the color of you shirt and subtle eyes, you look like a real knockout Christine!
Thank you so much, Daria!
This eye/lip combo looks awesome on you
Thanks, Diana :D
Lovely look. The shadows look like they have a bit of shimmer to them even though you have them labeled as matte. Are they more of a satin?
Naked is a matte, Virgin and Darkforce are not, but Darkforce has a "matte base" and more of an overlaying shimmer.
Love this look! I can definitely see myself with it everyday. :3
Thanks! :D It's a great everyday look!
When is this out in stores?
August 1st

Thank you, Lexi! Haha, vampy downstairs :D
