Silver Smokey Eye Tutorial Using the Naked 2 Palette

  I absolutely love using the Naked 2 palette from Urban Decay to create great evening smokey eyes. I wore this look to go out with some friends to dinner and also to a party. I kept the shadows restricted to the ones in the palette though I wish it had more mattes to blend out colors. However here is the final look and a glance at the palette in case you haven't seen it! Keep reading if you want to achieve this look!




 From Left to Right: Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, and Blackout

  Tutorial

1. To start things off I primed my eyes with Nars Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base and MAC's paint pot in Soft Ochre. By doing this the colors will appear more vibrant and last a lot longer on my slightly oily eyelids. I also used a piece of tape and placed it on my eye as if I was drawing a line from my lower waterline, out towards the end of my eyebrow.

2. Next I used my Sigma e40 brush and used the color Tease, placing it mainly in the crease and blending it from inner corner to outer corner. Its okay if this is a bit messy because it is going to act as our transition shade.

(ignore the messy brows lol)

3. After that I picked up verve on a shader brush and placed it all over the lid, keeping it under the crease. I used the Sigma e55 and the thin flat end of the brush that came included in the palette. 


4. To start the smokey part of this look I took the color Busted on the same shader brush and placed it in the outer half of my eye. I blended it up into the crease and over the lid with the Sigma e25.


5. To deepen the look a bit I added the color Blackout on a pencil brush, the Sigma e30, and placed it right in the outer V of my eye... and of course blended it into the crease slightly and into the outer corner.


6. To top off the look I added a little wing using Maybelline Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black and used a mix of Busted and a little bit of Blackout on my lower lashline, starting from the outer corner and working in. I also retouched things by adding some more Verve onto the inner half of my lid and brought it also onto the inner part of my lower lashline.


And that completes the look! I hope this was easy to follow along with and just take your time adding the colors little by little so that everything is blended nicely!
