Fall Sunset Eye Tutorial

I saw this picture a few days back and being the woman I am, I immediately saw inspiration. I wanted to create an eye look using the colors, or at least colors similar, to the ones in the picture. And what better palette to use than the Lorac Mega Pro! 

So here I am in all of my "I just woke up and I HAVE to get this tutorial done" glory. I already filled in my brows and put on some under eye concealer.

#flawless

First step is to prime your lids! This is a must, especially with dark colors, so that your look doesn't crease. I used Urban Decay's Primer Potion, like I would use something else....

Next, you want to take any blending brush and place the color Camel into your crease. Go ahead and put it up a little above your crease also.

Next, I went in right under Camel with Mulberry with a domed blending brush. This has became one of my favorite shadows! It's so unique for a matte color. Blend this into your crease and onto your lid. No need to be precise because we're going to go over that in just a bit.

Then you want to take the color Espresso and place it all over your lid with a shadow brush.

Now to make the eyes pop just a little more, we are going to mix Mulberry and Espresso and buff it onto our lower lash line, with a pencil brush. I also highlighted with the color Cream, using my pointer finger, I placed it under my brow and in my inner corners.

I decided that I didn't want to use a liner on my upper lash line. But, I took a brown eyeliner and lined my waterline and added some black mascara. I used MAC's Stubborn Brown and L'Oreal's Butterfly Intenza in blackest black.

Lastly, I used a light lipstick, because I wanted the eyes to steal the show. The color I used was Jordana's Twist and Shine in Honey Love (Bonus! It's only $2.99 at Walgreens).

Here is the completed look!

Urban Decay's Vice 3: Swatches and Review

Urban Decay's holiday lineup is here! They have 2 new 24/7 liner sets, a lipstick stash, an All Nighter Setting Spray Duo, Naked Illuminated and last but not least, Vice 3. Vice was definitely the thing I was most excited about. Here are my thoughts!

First things first I'm the realest the packaging. Vice 3 is quite similar to Vice 1 and 2 as it is plastic and it has a nice BIG mirror on the inside.  It also opens to the perfect angle to apply your make-up which is really nice. The outside is silver on the front with raised lettering in lime green that says Vice. The back is a bright lime green also.

Urban Decay's Vice 3 $60

One cool thing they did this time around was include a bag for the palette to live in. It matches the exterior of the palette and has Urban Decay's UD on the bottom right corner. This bag is pretty darn big! It would be a wonderful travel bag!

In addition to the bag you get a double ended brush. This one is really similar to the one that came with Vice 2, when I put them side by side there were hardly any differences. The brush is also lime green and the writing matches the writing on the palette.

Now for the important part, the shadows! Brownie points to Urban Decay for creating 20, yes TWENTY, all new shades! I love how they really thought about the little things. In the first row, going from the top to the bottom, we have the neutrals. The second through fourth rows are all jewel tones and the third row is the smokey colors.

Truth: Pale pink-nude matte

Undone: Pink-beige matte-satin with subtle floating tonal pearl

Downfall: Warm light brown matte

DTF: (my my) Taupe matte with subtle floating pearl

L to R: Truth, Undone, Downfall, DTF

Dragon: Bright metallic green shimmer

Freeze: (This straight up reminds me of Elsa) Metallic medium blue with multidimensional micro-glitter

Heroine: Deep navy blue with subtle floating tonal pearl

Brokedown: Metallic golden brown shimmer with gold micro-glitter

L to R: Dragon, Freeze, Heroine, Brokedown

Vanity: Smoky metallic eggplant with multidimensional micro-glitter

Lucky: Metallic bronze

Reign: Rich brown satin

Bobby Dazzle: Metallic white with pale gold micro-glitter

L to R: Vanity, Lucky, Reign, Bobby Dazzle

Alien: Pink-peach with golden shift.

Alchemy: Deep fuchsia satin

Bondage: Deep, smoky burgundy shimmer

Sonic: (LOVE THIS) Metallic red-copper

L to R: Alien, Alchemy, Bondage, Sonic

Last Sin: Champagne shimmer with silver micro-glitter

Angel: Light taupe satin

Defy: Smoky taupe satin

Revolver: Soft black satin with subtle floating iridescent pearl

L to R: Last Sin, Angel, Defy, Revolver

Overall this is a gorgeous palette! From the packaging to the colors. The only thing I wish they would have done differently is add that nifty little button that they added to the Vice 2 palette, but I won't be picky. The shadows are creamy and buttery and SUPER pigmented. I didn't use any primer under the swatches and they still worked perfectly. Out of the looks I've created so far, I have noticed that the colors blend together beautifully! The first row is a bit powdery, but nothing too bad.

If you are looking for a palette that has practically everything you need, then look no more! Vice has you covered. This would also be the perfect Christmas present for the make-up lover in your life.
