How to: Create a Gold Smoky Eye with the Naked 2

Hello Lovelies!

A little while ago one of my friends from school messaged me asking if I could do a post showing some of the looks you can create with the Naked 2 eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay (full post on that palette here-naked-2) and as my other friend Lydia had also asked me to create some easy eye shadow looks for her I saw a perfect opportunity... So here is a simple and subtle step by step golden smoky eye look that I created on Lydia using the Naked 2 that could be worn with eye liner and lashes for a night out or on its own for a natural daytime look-

 To create this look I started by applying my favourite shade, 'half baked' all over the lids using the large fluffy end of the Urban Decay eyeshadow brush to give Lydia a nice gold base, taking it quite high up towards the brow bones to widen the eyes. I then used this part of the brush again to sweep 'chopper' from half way across the lids all the way to the outer corners to add a pretty copper colour that starts to create the smoky effect. I then finished the look by lining the crease and very outer corners of the lids with the shimmery dark brown shade, 'snakebite' using the thinner crease end of the brush, which emphasised the smoky effect and added definition to Lydia's eyes.


Lydia was very happy with how this look turned out as she thought it added some pretty definition to her eyes whilst still looking quite natural, so I hope it's helpful to anyone looking for smoky eye or Naked 2 tips...What do you think of this bronze smoky look? Are you a fan of the Naked 2 palette and what other looks do you like to create with it? 

I've just had a really lovely time with my boyfriend and family this weekend as we had a cute day out yesterday playing crazy golf (I love a bit of golfing fun) and going somewhere nice for dinner. Then tomorrow I'm off to Bluewater with Lydia and faye so hopefully I'll have a few goodies to show you when I come back, I really want those River Island disco pant dupes so I'll definitely be trying those on and deciding if my bank balance will let me have them! Also most excited for the closing ceremony of the Olympics tonight (particularly the Spice Girls)...

I hope you've all had a lovely weekend!
Love Meg
