Tutorial/MOTD: Naked2 Palette - Booty Call, Suspect, Busted and Verve

I have been slacking big time with the tutorials, but FINALLY I have uploaded one.  I dislike doing videos because it takes forever to edit but I found some shortcuts which will help me get these up and going again.  I decided to do a tutorial on a basic look with the new Naked2 palette.  Which I am LOVING!!!

Review / MOTD: Naked2 Palette - Cool Toned Shadows

 I received my Urban Decay Naked2 Palette in the mail today, I am very impressed on the fast turnaround! I ordered my palette last Thursday, the day it was first launched.  I was the one of the fortunate people who were able to snag one of the 5000 palettes that were available at urbandecay.com.  Being a makeup artist I have tons of makeup, did I need more neutral/brown/nude shades? No! But I just had to get my hands on one of the most successful palettes out there.  It took me forever to get the original Naked, but I saw how convenient it was especially for on location work and when I travel.  I literally didn't need to bring anything else with me.

On to Naked2.... I have to say these colors are different, I feel they are more cooler toned  than the original which is more golds/and bronzes.  I really like the colors, but I wish there were more matte shades added to this collection.  The only 2 colors that are matte are Tease (taupe grey) and Foxy (yellowish beige).  A nice blending crease color would be best for this palette.  The rest of the shades have the signature Urban Decay frost/shimmer, which is what draws me to the brand.  My favorite colors are: Verve, Pistol, and Suspect. 

 With this being said I had to focus on these colors for my Makeup Of The Day.

MOTD: Smokey purple with a touch of glitter

I always love purple eye shadows, it is my favorite color to wear.  Today I decided to focus on a smokey look since I have been doing some neutral lids with a brighter lip look.  I am always very picky about my blending and placement of colors.  Blending is so important because you don't want to see harsh lines around your colors, the colors should just fade into each other.  I also added a little bit of glitter on the bottom lashline,  just for an added glam effect for the holidays.

MOTD: Shimmer soft and pretty

Last night was the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and I found the makeup to be different than the rest of the years. This year was focused more on a soft angelic look than a sexy smokey eye. The makeup was pretty and it worked well with the theme of the show. The show inspired me to showcase a soft pretty look for my MOTD.
