Urban Decay Naked Palette Tutorials

I’m excited to try out my new palette and as it comes with a handy guide on how to do different smoky eyes, I thought I’d try out a couple of looks from it! The first look I thought I’d try is the Iconic UD Smoky Eye:

As you can see, there are quite a lot of steps to this, which seems a bit time-consuming to me! Also, what the hell does wrapping colour round the eyes mean??

UDIconic

  • Instructions: Really thorough, but there are a lot of steps and some of them seem a bit too much!
  • Time: >5 minutes.
  • Look: It’s definitely a smoky eye look, it looks pretty and would look really good for an evening out!
  • Would I wear it again?: I think I’m too lazy to spend that long on my eyeshadow to be honest, but I’ll definitely use the palette again 🙂
  • Verdict: 2.5/5.

I also thought I’d try the Smoky Cat:

I much prefer this look, it definitely seems easier to do than the Iconic Eye.

  • Instructions: Again, there are a lot of steps, some of which you can skip, like finishing the look with lipstick.
  • Time: <5 minutes.
  • Look: I love the smoky gold look and it brings out the brown of my eyes. It’s also a good to experiment with different eyeliner flicks as well.
  • Would I wear it again?: I would definitely wear this again, although I might do a slightly quicker version next time.
  • Verdict: 4/5.

Which look do you prefer, the Iconic or the Cat? Have you ever used the guides that come with palettes? Let me know in the comments below 🙂 x

  1. Yes the 2nd look is much better suited for you – that first one is reserved for Halloween LOL. You did a great job recreating them though – looks just like the illustrations.

  2. I love this look. I’m a massive fan of smoky eyes – almost all of my makeup videos on my channel are smoky eye! Good job xo

  3. The multi-step thing gets me every single time. I’m such a minimalist/lazy creature. I’m proud of you because you at least attempted the looks once!
