It has been absolutely ages since I did a "tutorial" style post, so today I thought I would share my take on a simple smokey neutral eye using the Urban Decay Naked palette. This only uses four colours and is mega easy, I love doing it.


First of all, I primed my eyelid with concealer and set with Foxy from the Naked Basics palette. Then I put the shade Naked from the Naked palette all over my lid.

Then I went in with the shade Buck on my crease to add some definition.

After that I darkened the outer corner and crease more with Darkhorse, and blended the colours up. I also highlighted my brow with Venus. (I feel like this photo doesn't show the darker shade too well, but trust me it's there!)

I then added eyeliner to my top lid, without creating too much of a wing. I smudged Buck very lightly under my eye and used eyeliner on my waterline, finishing it off with mascara.

The other day I fancied a change to my normal makeup, so I decided to add a twist to my regular smokey eye and add in some cranberry. Here's how I did it!

So I already applied my basics to my face and done my eyebrows. I started off with MAC Cranberry and applied it all over my lid, not caring about being too messy because it was going to get blended in a bit.

Then I applied Hustle from the Naked palette into my crease.

Then I applied Creep from the same palette onto my outer corner and just blended where needed.

Next I put the tiniest line of eyeliner I think I have ever done (I'm a massive fan of thick eyeliner and wings, so this was quite an achievement for me)

After that, I applied mascara and a small amount of the first Cranberry shade and Creep mixed under my eye and voila!

I really enjoyed this look and I want to do it again, but it's definitely a bold look as the red is quite noticeable in person (these photos aren't too good as I took them on my phone)
