Jilted - Bright Purple Eyes - Featuring the Urban Decay Electric palette

Hi makeup junkies! So my Urban Decay Electric palette finally came in and I have been having so much fun playing around with the awesome colors. Today I had to wake up really early and was pressed for time, but I knew I wanted to use my new shadows, so I threw together this quick purple look and I'm super happy with how it came out. One great thing about the palette, is how easily the colors blend so it doesn't take forever to blend everything out. This look was super quick and easy to get and literally only uses 5 shadows, and if you wanted to pare it down even more you can just use the 2 purples in the Electric palette and your face powder to highlight under the brow, some eyeliner and you're done. My other tip for when you're short on time and want to use bright colors and don't want to work hard on placement and such: tape (lol big secret). I like to apply a piece of scotch tape to the outer corners of my eyes, that way I get that sharp outer edge that looks cool and it helps catch fall out. I just feel like it gives a cool, dramatic effect to the eyes and cuts down on my clean up time. Anyways, since the eyes are super bright and dramatic, I kept the rest of the face very neutral and flawless with glossy light pink lips. I'm so excited about this new Electric palette and I'm having fun messing around with it, so hopefully I should have a review up on it soon- I like to play around with the product before I give my thoughts on it so I can really get a feel for it, but it'll be up soon.

How To: EYES

-Start off by applying your favorite eye primer all over the lids and underneath the lower lash line. Since you're using such bright colors, you want a base that's going to really stick to the shadows and make them pop. You can also add a piece of tape to your outer corners to create that sharp edge, or you can just use some makeup remover or makeup wipe to clean it up later. The shadows in the UD palette don't really have much fall out at all so I didn't have much if anything to clean up.

-Apply a matte cream shadow under the brow and into the crease to highlight and help blend out the next color.

-Taking a small amount of"Jilted" from the Electric palette on a fluffy blending brush, apply it into the crease and blend it up, you can also bring this down into the outer corner.

-Next, apply "Urban" all over the lids and blend it slightly into the crease, making sure to blend it into "Jilted".

-On a smaller blending brush, blend a matte medium purple into the crease to help soften the line between "Jilted" and "Urban", you also want to apply this color to the lower lash line.

-Add a shimmery nude shadow around the tear ducts to brighten up the eyes.

-Apply black liquid liner (or gel) to the upper lash line, winging it out at the edges.

-Apply black liner to your waterlines, then curl your lashes and add mascara to your top and bottom lashes.

How To: FACE

-Using a damp sponge, apply a medium-full coverage foundation all over your face, making sure it blends to your neck.

-Apply a brightening concealer under your eyes and down the center of your face to help brighten your complexion.

-Set under your eyes with a light powder, then set the rest of your face with a powder that matches your skin tone. If your skin is too dry for powder don't use it, or use a tiny bit of it.

-Use a matte light bronzer around the outer edges of your face to warm up and help sculpt the face, then use a darker contouring powder to contour under the cheekbones and sides of the temples. Make sure you blend out the edges so there are no harsh bronzer lines.

-Add a neutral blush to the backs of your cheeks, making sure to blend it out into your contour.

-Add a shimmery highlighting powder to the tops of the cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose, and to the cupid's bow.

-Apply your brows like you normally would.

-Apply a light, neutral pink lipstick to your lips, and top it off with a pale pink lip gloss.
