Everyday Shimmery Pink + Brown [Urban Decay Naked Palette Tutorial]

Every now and then I come across eye makeup images on Pinterest that inspire me to step away from my trusted and familiar routine. It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of the Urban Decay Naked palette, and even more so when it comes to the new(er) Naked2 palette. This past weekend I realized that I’ve neglected my beloved original Naked palette ever since getting my hands on the Naked 2 palette a few months back. I decided to experiment with new looks by combining shades from the original Naked palette and the Naked2 palette.

If you’re a fan of both Naked palettes and haven’t already done so, I recommend that you experiment with mixing shades from both palettes – the possibilities are truly endless.

This tutorial shows my current favorite quick and easy daytime look created from combining the palettes. I love the fresh and shimmery pink look, which is a welcome change from the gold and nude tones I’ve been sporting for a while. I also opted to use a deep brown gel eyeliner (also from Urban Decay) and not my usual pencil and I am enjoying a more subtle definition.

For this tutorial I used the following shades from the Naked and Naked2 palettes:

If you’ve mixed it up by combining shades from both Naked palettes, please share with us in the comments! It is so fun to try new looks without going to Sephora and spending more money.
