I’ve done a review and swatches on my previous post, so don’t forget to check my UD Naked Smoky review out!  So far, I’ve used 11 out of the 12 shades in the palette (hehehe).

A quick note  on step 3 (top right corner), I applied Combust using a blending brush to blend out the edge of my crease color. This is an easy way to blend out your smoky eyes to make a smooth transition from the eyeshadow to your skin.

UD Naked Smoky Palette Review

Here’s my UD Naked Smoky Palette review! It is not a surprise that I’m a huge fan of Urban Decay, but not many people know I actually am not a big fan of the UD naked 1 and naked 2 palettes. I do like some of the eyeshadows in the palette, but the naked 1 and naked 2 weren’t always my favorite. However, when they released their UD Naked 3 palette, I was head over heels for that palette. I absolutely adore Naked 3, particularly because I am obsessed with anything Rose Gold tones.

I did not plan to buy the UD Naked Smoky, in fact, I thought it was just another hype. However, since I do not own the naked 1 and 2 palettes any longer, I thought why not give this Naked Smoky a try. No harm done, and I thought if I didn’t like it, I can just return it anyways. So, I bought the UD Naked Smoky palette from Sephora, and 3 days later it arrived at my mailbox.

When I took the palette out of the box, I was already impressed with the packaging. Then, the rest is history. I am in love with this palette! Yes, you can get other nude palettes with similar shades for a lesser price. However, the quality of this UD Naked Smoky is far more superior than any other eyeshadows, and much better than the other 3 naked palettes. Keep reading to find out why I love this palette!

UD Naked Smoky review

What is UD Naked Smoky Palette?

“Sweep on popular smoky eye looks with Urban Decay’s Naked Smoky. Packed with all the essentials needed to create the perfect neutral smoky eye, it offers an array of shades, a double-ended brush, and a detailed lookbook that breaks down four amazing ways to nail any smoky look. The eye shadow pans offer a smoky, transparent base, the magnetic closure on the case prevents shadow from spilling your bag, and the full-size mirror makes it easy to get a sultry look whenever the urge strikes.”

Sephora, 2015

Packaging

The case is gorgeous. It’s much better than UD Naked 1 and Naked 2. Much sturdier plastic packaging, and it looks luxurious with a cool smoke effect. It actually has a latch to close the palette, similar to the tin packaging from Naked 3. It’s not some flimsy magnetic clasp like the Naked 1. Gorgeous packaging!

The palette comes with a dual-ended brush, and an instructional booklet, which contains 4 looks you can follow. I’ve done the Iconic UD Smoky Eye look in my previous tutorial, so please check it out! I’ve also done a slightly less smoky look using this palette in my MAC D for Danger post.

UD Naked Smoky review

Pigmentation & Blendability

The eyeshadows are very pigmented, even if you don’t apply eyeshadow base/primer, the shades are still pretty amazing. However, if you apply a base/primer, the colors are even more vibrant. On the swatches picture, I applied Urban Decay Primer Potion (original) as a base since I always wear my eyeshadow with primer anyways.

There are 3 shades that are quite similar to the other Naked palettes – Dirtysweet, Dagger, and Smolder. Dirtysweet  is quite similar to Half-Baked (Naked 1) but with less sparkle fallout. Dagger is very similar to Gunmetal (Naked 1), but with less shimmer. Smolder is similar to Hustle (Naked 1) but cooler in undertone.

Price

CA$64 from Sephora Canada, for 12 x 0.05oz.

UD Naked Smoky swatches(L-R) High; Dirtysweet; Radar; Armor;  Slanted;  Dagger;  Black Market; Smolder; Password; Whiskey; Combust; Thirteen)

Pros

  • Gorgeous packaging
  • High pigment pay-off
  • Easy to blend
  • Less fallout than the other eyeshadows from other Naked palettes
  • Wide range of textures
  • Wearable shades – can create day to night look
  • Beautiful shades that fits almost everyone

Cons

  • Some shades are very similar to other Naked palettes.

 

MAC D for Danger

I have a new favorite lip color! MAC D for Danger lipstick is a gorgeous berry shade with a matte finish. I love it! I have been looking for a berry lip color for a while now, but usually it’s too purple, so I’m very excited when I found this shade. D for Danger is a permanent lipstick shade at MAC. I recently found it when I was browsing their Retro Matte collection.

Anyways, I paired UD Naked Smoky with this berry lips. I went with a winged liner, and bronze on the lids. Nothing too dark on the crease since I want the focus to be on the winged liner itself. This look is quite heavy on both eyes and lips, but I don’t quite mind it. I think this will look nice for a party. For a day look, I probably will leave the eyes bare, just mascara and groomed brows, leaving the lips to be the focus of the attention.

I have done a smoky eye look using UD Naked Smoky in my previous tutorial, please check it out!

UD Naked Smoky Tutorial “Iconic Smoky Eye”

As you know from my Instagram, I recently purchased and received my UD Naked Smoky Palette. I was so excited when I got it yesterday, and couldn’t wait to play around with it, so I created this UD Naked Smoky Tutorial! I bought mine online from Sephora since the palette was an online exclusive. It arrived within 3 days of my order, pretty fast and I’m one happy gal!

Anyways, I’ll try to do a review of the palette pretty soon. For now, I just wanted to share with you this look that I re-create from their leaflet. The palette came with a leaflet that contained several different looks you can achieve, and I chose to do the Iconic UD Smoky Eye look. I replaced some of the products, like the eyeliner, blush, lipstick etc since I don’t own those. Nevertheless, I used all the shades mentioned in the leaflet accordingly.

Personally, for me, this kind of smoky eye look is supposed to be messy and worn in, I skipped wearing false lashes. False lashes tend to make everything look more glamorous. If you prefer, though, feel free to add the falsies.

UD Naked Smoky makeup look

The transition shade, Combust, doesn’t really show up on pictures below because it’s very similar to my skin color. However, this step is very important whether the color shows up or not because this transition shade will allow for a smooth edge on your smoky eyes. It will diffuse the grey eyeshadow on the crease into your skin seamlessly.

The brow bone shade, Thirteen, is a vanilla shade. It might look like there’s nothing on the brow bone at first (top middle row) in the pictorial, but as you add those darker colors on the lid, the highlight becomes more prominent. If you like a highlight on the brow bone, feel free to add more at the end of the look. If you have a hooded lid, I recommend not to add too much or any since it might create a hooded effect even more.

UD Naked 3 Prom Makeup Look

If you have this UD Naked 3 palette lying around, you could create this UD Naked 3 Prom Makeup Look! Instead of buying new palettes, or eyeshadows, you could always use what you already have. I have done other UD Naked 3 tutorials, which you can find HERE. However, one of my most repinned UD Naked 3 tutorial is the Valentine’s Day makeup post, which is perfect if you prefer a softer look.

Urban Decay Vice 3 Tutorial for Spring Look

Have you guys find out the pro tips given by Ludovic Engrand (Shu Uemura MUA) on my Instagram yet? If not, don’t forget to check it out! Anyways, for today’s Urban Decay Vice 3 tutorial, I wanted to create a spring look using just this one palette. I realized that I haven’t used this palette much, and I don’t know why I don’t use it as much since the eyeshadows are so buttery and creamy! This look is for someone who isn’t afraid of colors!

Of course, you can skip the orange-gold eyeshadow on my eyelid for something more neutral if you feel that this look is too colorful. I’ve done other tutorials using just a pop of color and neutrals in my other posts. So, check those out – Too Faced Chocolate Bar #3,  Kat Von D Monarch tutorial #2 and Cobalt Blue, Adding Color to eye makeup and a Hint of Mint.

I’ve also recently purchased a Stila brow pen (All Day Waterproof Brow Color), and I used it for the first time in this look. What do you guys think? I personally find this slightly harder to use at first. I’ve used it twice now, and I’m starting to really like the end result this product gives! I’ll try to do a review soon.

Daytime Bronze Smokey Eyes

Today’s post, Daytime Bronze smokey eyes, was actually a pending post from last week. I actually did this look after I did my brows video. Since I was uber busy last week (Shu Uemura competition, work and stuff), I didn’t have the chance to post this tutorial up. I also want to mention that I will not be posting any tutorial until end of this week, so I apologize for missing again. However, do follow me on Instagram to find out what I’m up to! Instagram has been a place for me to micro-blog almost daily.

Anyways, for this look was a request over on Instagram by Sammie. She wanted me to do an easy golden smoky eyes that she can wear during daytime. The key to this look is to keep the black to a minimum if you are going to wear it out for a day makeup. The usual smoky eyes are quite strong and dark, meawhile for this look I kept it quite light and not as intense. I smudged a lot of the black out, and skipped my usual black winged liner. Instead, I opted for a smudged eyeliner using powder. I kept the black on the waterline & tightline, but if you’re afraid that this will close your eyes up you can skip it. I just love black eyeliner on waterline & tightline for smoky eyes.

I used Urban Decay Naked 1 palette for the eyeshadows. You can also find these shades in single pot from Urban Decay.

Brows are filled using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Medium Ash and Brunette.

How-to:

1. I applied Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin all over my lid using my ring finger.

2. Using a fluffy blending brush, I applied Urban Decay Smog on the outer half of the lid, all the way to the crease.

3. I used Smashbox bullet crease brush to blend out the edges.

4. Using Sephora crease brush, I applied Urban Decay Darkhorse just to deepen the outer corner.

5. Using a shader brush, I applied Urban Decay Half-Baked on the eyelid.

6. I applied Smog on the outer half of the lower lash line, and Half-Baked on the inner half using an angled eyebrow brush.

7. I applied Urban Decay Creep along the upper lash line and outer third of lower lash line using an angled eyeliner brush.

8. I lined my waterline and tightline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

9. I curled my lashes and applied Make Up For Ever Aqua Smoky Lash mascara on both upper and lower lashes.

World Cup 2014 Brazil Inspired Makeup

Are you guys following FIFA World Cup 2014?! I sure did, and I’m rooting for Brazil! Go Brazil!!! Anyways, since I’m showing my support for Brazil, I decided to do this Brazil Inspired Makeup. I’d probably do a World Cup inspired makeup series for the next couple weeks just for fun! I wanted to post this tomorrow, but decided to do it today.

Anyhow, for this Brazil Inspired Makeup tutorial, I wanted to create a wearable look that uses the colors of the team’s jersey – mainly yellow, a little bit of green and blue (as you can see from the jersey that I wore for today’s tutorial). I love the result, and I especially love that blue eyeliner! If you do re-create this look please TAG ME on twitter or instagram, and hashtag your work with #kireimakeup.

Since the eyes are so bright and bold, I decided to tone it down on my face. My face is kept very minimal, no contouring. My lips, I decided to go with a nude lip, with my new favorite lip pencil, MAC Spice. Since my lips were quite dry, I added Clinique Heaping Hazelnut chubby lip balm to keep it moist. I do apologize if my face doesn’t look that flawless, you can see a bit of breakout here and there, since my immune system is currently down. As you can see, I do not airbrush my face, so what you see is what I actually look like! 😉

brazil inspired makeup

How-to:

1. I applied a yellow cream face paint as a base all over my eyelid. For this tutorial, I used PAC , an Indonesian brand, but you can use any yellow cream base (e.g. MUFE Flash Palette), OR a white base (e.g. NYX Milk Jumbo Pencil in Milk). A good base is necessary so the yellow pops even more.

2. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied MUFE eyeshadow no. 71 all over my eyelid.

3. Using a small blending brush, I applied Urban Decay Buck on outer V and extended it into the crease.

4. Using a dark blue cream face paint from PAC and an angled eyeliner brush, I created a winged liner along the upper lash line.

5. *VERY IMPORTANT STEP* I SET the cream eyeliner using Urban Decay Chaos with another clean eyeliner brush. If you don’t set your cream face paint, it’ll crease.

6. On the bottom lash line, I applied Dragon Fly from Sleek Makeup iDivine Ultra Matte V1 Brights.

7. I lined my tightline and waterline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

8. I curled my lashes, applied mascara, and applied Ardell Demi Luvies falsies.

9. I filled my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Medium Ash.

10. For my face, I decided to keep it simple. I applied Marc Jacobs Gel foundation using CoverFX cream foundation brush.

11. I applied a little bit of yellow corrector from MAC Conceal/Correct palette in Medium under my eyes.

12. I dusted MAC Mineralized Skinfinish powder all over my face.

13. I applied Smashbox Halo Blush powder in In Bloom.

14. I lined and filled my lips using MAC Spice lip liner. On top of it, I applied Clinique Chubby lip balm in Heaping Hazelnut.

Urban Decay Electric Palette Review

Finally, I managed to upload this Urban Decay Electric Palette review! Since my week starts on Monday, this is still counted as being posted on this week! I tried to upload it earlier today, but my internet at home wasn’t working. Anyways, let’s get back to this review, shall we?!

From Urban Decay website

“Chaos-inducing color—in ten VELVETY shades. Inspired by Chaos (a brilliant matte blue from The Vice Palette), we created the ultimate fix for color addicts—packed with ten of the brightest, most amazing shades you’ve ever laid eyes on, plus a double-ended brush. In addition to Chaos (yes, it’s back!), this palette marks the return of Revolt (a silver standout from our Anarchy Face Case). All the other shades are NEW!

From ultra-smooth mattes to highly dimensional shimmers, each VELVETY shade delivers insane color payout. Why do a Pressed Pigment Palette? Using pressed pigments was the only way we could create heavily saturated brights with the intense pigment load we craved. Traditional pressed pigment formulas just wouldn’t cut it. To achieve shades like these, we had to develop an entirely new formula!

We carefully crafted the formula on every shade to make sure each one would apply with a soft and creamy texture and deliver serious color payout. Each shade features our Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients that gives each shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power and blendability.

The case is as cool as the shades inside. Emblazoned with “ELECTRIC,” this slim, sleek palette features a vivid, dimensional, multilayered smoke-screen print reminiscent of the shades inside. And the mirror is huge!

Electric Pressed Pigment Palette also includes a cruelty-free, double-ended pressed pigment brush (an all-black brush with bright purple synthetic brush fibers). On one end: a compact precision brush that’s perfect for applying color with amazing control. On the other end: a small pigment brush.

(WARNING: Slowburn, Savage, Jilted and Urban contain a colorant that is not approved for the eye area in the US, Canada and Brazil.)“

UD Electric palette review

Packaging

I absolutely hate the packaging. I love the cover, and its beautiful artwork, however I hate the bulkiness of it. This is one of the bigger, heavier palette in my kit. Not to mention, this one doesn’t have a latch/clasp when the palette is closed. I can’t actually place one of my little kitchen mat to protect the eyeshadows when I travel – the magnet is not strong enough to hold the palette together when I placed the mat in between.

Longevity/Blendability/Pigmentation

Worn with Urban Decay primer or NYX Milk Jumbo pencil, the shades last for around 8-hour with very minimal creasing. Colors stay well on the lid with primer on. I’ve never tried it with no primer, so I can’t say anything about that.

All of the eyeshadows blend very well, very smooth, and I have no problem whatsoever. They are so pigmented, that even with no primer, you can still get the true colors on your eyelids. However, I find that the matte shades are slightly thinner than the shimmers. The matte shades need a real good packing if you don’t use primer underneath (check out my swatches below to see what I mean).

Also, just FYI, a few of my blending brushes (my MAC 217s) are now permanently stained with Savage and Slowburn. I’ve washed them several times with a Beauty Blender solid soap, no luck in getting rid of those stain. Oh well, just know that you’ve been warned!

UD Electric palette review

Price

USD$49 for 10 shades (0.04oz)

Pros

  • Great pigmentation
  • Smooth and easily blendable
  • Bright, bold, fun colors
  • Can be used as hair-chalking pigment
  • Long lasting
  • Colors stay true (what you see is what you get)
  • You get a good mix of matte and shimmer
  • Price is pretty good compared to other UD eyeshadows

Cons

  • 4 out of the 10 shades cannot be used on the eyes
  • Packaging is not optimal for travel
  • A little bit pricy compared to other brand

So, I know everyone has been raving about this UD Electric Palette, even I was raving about it before the palette was released. When I finally bought it couple weeks a go when I was in Toronto, I thought it was an over-hype. I saw the colors, and I thought to myself that there’s a lot of other companies that make similar palettes to this, for example, the Sleek Makeup iDivine Snapshot palette, which honestly cost a lot less than the UD Electric palette. You can definitely find similar shades in other brands, like MAC, Sleek Makeup, NYX etc.

If you can’t get this palette, don’t worry too much about it. You can definitely find similar shades by other brands. If you are a fan of Urban Decay’s products, then by all means get this palette, esp. if you love bright, bold colors.

My personal opinion is that this is a great palette (plus it’s cruelty-free) to have if you have the extra cash. Not necessarily needed, but nice to own. Since 4 out of the 10 shades on the palette aren’t recommended for eyelid application, really and truly, if you are worried, I say don’t bother getting it. Go to MAC, and you’ll find eyeshadows that are very similar in shade with this.

 

Urban Decay Electric Makeup Look #2

Another look using Urban Decay Electric palette! I will do a review and swatch the shades this week, promise! I was just playing with the colors for today’s look, and decided to post this tutorial up. I was expecting the orange shade, Slow Burn, to be a little bit lighter. However, it turned up to be quite dark, and has a lot more red in it. I think this color combo – green and orange, is a little bit different than I expected, but looks good nevertheless. I just love how easy it is to blend the shadows.

As always, scroll all the way to the bottom to skip the how-to, and get on the product list.ud electric makeup looks

 

How-to:

1. I prepped my eyelids using Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden.

2. I applied Urban Decay Slow Burn all over my entire eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

4. Using a small shader brush, I applied Lancome Strut on the outer V, blending the color in between the edge of Slowburn and Freak.

5. I applied Urban Decay Freak on the lower lid, and Lancome Strut on the outer half of the lower lid. I used an angled eyebrow brush for this.
