I am the girl who buys the sets of Urban Decay eyeliner whenever they come out. I like having an array of colors just to give quick pops of color to my eye looks. I do the same when Tarte comes out with any liner sets. In particular, I like the Tarte Smolder Eyes pencils and the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On pencils.
In previous blog posts I have told you how much I love to run the Urban Decay pencil in Deviant along my lower lash line during the summer or anytime I feel like my eyes look tired and need to be brightened up a bit. I still stand by that liner. It is quick, simple, and gives a major effect with minor work.
Today I did a look anyone can achieve. If you do not have the same exact pencils or even the shadows, similar colors will still work.
Here are the products I used on my eyes:
- Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden
- Urban Decay Naked Pallette (Virgin, Naked, and Buck)
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On pencils in Flipside and Junkie
- Tarte Smolder Eyes (chubby pencil) in Violet
- Maybelline Mega Plush waterproof mascara
After applying my primer, I took a Sigma shader brush (E55) and applied Naked all over the mobile lid . Then I took a fluffy brush, also by Sigma (E40), and bring Naked into the crease and blend it out as a transition color. I then take my all time favorite brush (my Smashbox domed crease brush that JG sent me years ago) and take Buck only into the deep socket, using windshield wiper motions. I then take a Sigma short shader brush and apply Virgin just under my brow bone and in the inner corners of my eyes. Finally, I take that same fluffy brush with a small amount of Naked on it and use it to blend out any harsh lines.
Now that the eye shadow is done you can choose 2-3 eyeliners (one for the top lash line, one for the bottom lash line, and one for the waterline if you choose.) I chose the Tarte Smolder Eyes for my top lash line. It gave a ton of definition to the lash line and a slight bit of purple coloring to bring out the green in my hazel eyes. Then I took Flipside and ran it across my waterline. I applied Junkie underneath my lower lashes and smudged it out using a very small smudge brush from Tarte.
Now for the lashes. I love this part! I curled them with my Shu Uemera lash curler and gave each eye two coats of the Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara. I used the same mascara on my bottom lashes. It did not run or smudge all day!
I wish I had taken a picture before I took my makeup off, but I hadn't planned on blogging about it. I will however recreate the look and post it soon. I love pairing any shades of purple and greens. This combination of plum and teal came out perfectly!
Until next time....
