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.
Great neutral look! I love the lips, really pulls it together and makes the simple neutral look pop! Good job 🙂
Thank you, Lucy!
Wow! Gorgeous lips!
On the other hand, I don’t think I’m going to buy the Naked Palette after all, I already have a lot of neutral shades from UD (and other brands), so will only get the Vegan palette instead.
Yeah, if you have a TON of neutrals, you don’t necessarily *need* this palette 😉
The only thing I really want is the new eyeliner though, but really shouldn’t buy a whole new palette just for that, lol!
LOL!
Oh Christine you are only making me want this palette more and more!! lol. Really pretty look. I’m not crazy about whiskey on the waterline tho, kinda makes it look irritated and reddish. I find that with alot of brown liners. It looks good on the lower lashline tho.
Thank you, Jennifer! 🙂 I think it’s a great palette!
Stunning, flawless, perfection, etc… I love it and that lip is ideal for you.
WOW! Thank you, Sandy!
Even though the palette seems more meant for subtle neutral looks, I’m very glad you did a smokier, more ‘night’ look first, just to show the real versatility of the palette.
I definitely wanted it as soon as I saw the promotional pictures, but it’s good to know that when I travel, I can be set with just this.
Yay 🙂 I do like that they put some edgy shades in there – just to mix it up.
This is gorgeous. Can’t wait to try it out!
Thank you, Sarah! I hope you get a chance to!
hi Christine! what a nice look -this is a gorgeous fall look, I think – warm and neutral upstairs, and rich an vampy downstairs 🙂
Thank you, Lexi! Haha, vampy downstairs 😀
When is this out in stores?
August 1st
Love this look! I can definitely see myself with it everyday. :3
Thanks! 😀 It’s a great everyday look!
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.
This eye/lip combo looks awesome on you
Thanks, Diana 😀
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!
Too pretty! It’s subtle but gorgeous! Can’t wait to try this look (and the other) as soon as I can get the pallette! 🙂
Thanks a lot, Nikki!
that blush looks perfect for winter =O
It is a blush for fall 🙂
That makes sense! lol. looove fall makeup.
i LOVE it! i want that palette soooo bad!!!
Thanks a lot, Becki!
Great look!! Love the lip combo… aah now I want this palette even more! I love UD eyeshadows they are so smooth and pigmented. Totally worth the money 😀
Woo! Thank you, Anna 😀
Love it !
Thanks a lot, Bernice!
You look so good with neutrals, love this palette!
Thank you so much, Maya 🙂
Eek!! So so so pretty! Loving the lips. And the blush.
Thank you, Jane!
pretty!
Thank you, Mai!
Christine,no one but you could pull this look off!
Bravo!
Pffffft! I bet you could 😀
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 🙂
I can’t get enough neutral looks!
Yay!
i am not a big fan of this lip… i think it’s way too dark
Sorry you didn’t like it!
hellooo!! I love all your looks but my favourites are your neutrals looks.
A detail!!! I´m from spain and I read your internet page since two years ago. I don´t understand all the coments or all your words but when I see your photos I think they are great looks. I love makeup and I´m waiting more years for work with the makeup jajaja

Hi Patri!
Thank you so much! It is such a pleasure to have you reading 🙂
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!
Love the neutral look on you, especially paired with those lips!
Thanks, Raychel!
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!
Absolutely gorgeous!
