The Naked 2 palette. First palette I ever panned, and first palette I ever repurchased. ⁣⁣I bought it after I saw Anna Saccone using it back in 2012!  ⁣⁣ I plan on using it up by the end of 2020, as I transition to all vegan and cruelty free products, and I know it will be a sad day once this gorgeous palette is gone! ⁣⁣ These eyeshadows go on incredibly smooth, opaque and blend like a dream! The black shade does have quite a bit of fallout, so when I use it I always make sure to do my face makeup after I apply my eyeshadow. The cool toned shades intensify my brown eyes, which I always find is difficult to do with warm toned eyeshadows. I know that warm tones are more popular, but I’ll always be a cool toned loving gal through and through! ⁣⁣ ⁣ My fave shades are: YDK, Tease, Bootycall, Suspect, and Verve 😍⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What was your first eyeshadow palette? 

(Photo courtesy Pinterest) Hello lovely readers! I love grey cold days, and winter in Canada has plenty of those. There is nothing better then being curled up inside while it is cold, grey and rainy outside. Every time the weather is like this I do the same makeup look. It is a gold and bronze smokey eye, with a peachy/pink cheek, and a neutral or red lip (depending on my mood). It is very simple, and takes about 10-15min. It pairs nicely with grey, black, burgundy and cream coloured clothes, so it is super versatile. It also works with most hairstyles, but I prefer to wear my hair straight with this look, as I just think it looks best on me. Face: 1. Start with a foundation primer and apply it all over your face. Choose one that best fits your skin type and skincare needs. For oily skin, Benefit's The Porefessional is great, it fills in your pores and makes your skin appear airbrushed. If you have a normal skin type I'd recommend Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, ...

Hello everyone! Today's makeup look is a neutral everyday look that only uses the Urban Decay Naked Palette. It is so much easier to recreate looks, or just lighter to travel with if you only have to use one palette. This eye makeup is actually one of my favourites and I wear it a lot during the school year.  Let's get started! Base: 1. Starting off with freshly washed and moisturized skin, smooth a BB Cream or tinted moisturizer all over your face starting from the centre of the face blending outwards. I used Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Medium/Deep.  2. Next take a concealer and apply it in a v shape underneath your eyes as well as around your nose. Take a fluffy brush (or you can use your fingers) and blend out the concealer. I used Rimmel Match Perfection 2 in 1 Concealer in Light/Medium.  3. Using a big and fluffy face brush dust your face with a setting powder to mattify the skin. I used Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in C4.  ...

Today's makeup look is a Prom eye makeup tutorial using the Naked Palette. I know a lot of proms have already happened, but there are still a bunch of proms coming up, including mine; so even if your prom has passed this is a great look for a special event or an evening out.  Step One: Start by priming your eyes with an eye shadow primer. Jessie's Picks : Urban Decay Primer Potion. Mac Prep and Prime.  Step Two: Using a flat eye shadow brush, take the colour Virgin  and apply it to your brow bone and the inner corners of your eye.  Step Three: Flip that brush over, and using the other side apply Toasted  all over your eye lid. On an eye liner brush run Toasted  along your lower lashline.  Step Four : Take a crease brush and apply Hustle  into your crease and drag it onto the outer corner of you lid. If you have hooded eyes you can bring the colour slightly up onto your browbone.  Taking an eye liner brush add a litt...
