Everyday Natural Eye Makeup Tutorial - Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

Hello, everyone!  I hope your week has been going well!

 I've never done a post like this before and I do everything by myself, so I decided to do something quick and easy for me.  For my very first ever makeup tutorial on my blog, I'm going to show you how I do my everyday, natural looking eye makeup.  This is what I throw on when I'm in a hurry, or uninspired, or just too lazy to do anything else. lol

First thing's first.  Here are the products I used in the order that I used them:

Urban Decay "Primer Potion", Urban Decay "Naked Basics" palette, Benefit Cosmetics "Gimme Brow", Smashbox Cosmetics "Brow Tech Gloss Stick" in the shade Brunette, Anastasia Beverly Hills clear brow gel, Benefit Cosmetics "High Brow", Rimmel London "Scandaleyes" nude eyeliner pencil, and the Urban Decay "Perversion" mascara.

   

Regardless of any eye look that I do, I always, always, always start with an eyeshadow primer.  My eyelids can get a bit oily, so creasing used to be a real struggle for me.  However, once I started using primer, I no longer had any issues with my shadows creasing.  This amount is enough for me to cover both of my eyes.

I then like to apply a shade all over my entire eye area (one that is about the same color as my skin tone) over the primer so that the rest of the shadows that I use later can blend easier.  For this I used the shade W.O.S.

For my transition, I applied the shade Naked 2 from my crease area up to my brow bone.  (It's a little hard to see because Naked 2 is only a touch darker than my skin tone.)

To add some more definition, I applied the shade Faint in my crease.

I then took the shade W.O.S. again and patted it onto my eyelid to clean up any fallout from the darker shades that may have fallen onto my lid.  I also took the shade Naked 2 underneath my eye.

 

To help fill in some sparse areas of my eyebrow, I first brushed through the hairs using Benefit's Gimme Brow.

 

I then shaped and defined my brow using the Brow Stick and sealed the hairs in place with the clear brow gel.

 

To clean up my brow area a bit, I applied High Brow directly under my eyebrow.

 

 Then I just blended it out with a small, pointed brush.

 

Then I added the shade Venus to my inner tear duct area and some nude eyeliner to my lower waterline.

And last, but not least, I added two coats of black mascara to my upper and lower lashes.

 

So there you have it, my very first makeup pictorial.  I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.  (This was actually quite fun to do!)  I look forward to doing more in the future!

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you have a nice weekend!
