Urban Decay

Okay, so I def bought the deluxe shadow kit while in Chi-town.
And I love it.
I put it on at 9, and it's last me all day!
<3
I used Peace, Ransom, Fishnet, and a little bit of pink by Makeup forever.
In the corner of my eye I used the pink and fishnet, and then blended with Peace, and blended in Ransom in my crease area and at the end of my eye.
It looked really cute

I want the 24/7 liner set! But at Sephora they were sold out of all the UD products I wanted!
I had to go to Urban Outfitters for the Deluxe set,
sucked, I really wanted UDPP full sized...

posted in makeup pics but still.

green on green :]

so you said i should be blending....how so? like rub it in with my finger more or what?

and whats this about a lighter colour on the inside? im just getting used to one colour! :p

haha, you see when your lid is closed, and its just one line? just take an eye brush and blend the line so it isnt as harsh - it should look as if it's fading!

if you want, I can take some pics for you real quick and show you what I mean, and how to do a light colour on the inside! :]

I like using Honey for the inner corner with Graffiti on the outer side

ah ok :] i get that. ill try it.

just make a "for kiki the dumbass" on youtube

hehe, I got a memory card, too!

but I look crappy and I dont wanna be showin my ugly face on tha interwebs

here you go!
I used this particular blue because it would show up the best. I'm about to take two more pics to show the blending better!

products puffy used:




here's what your shadow looks like before you blend it.




take your shadow or fluffy highligher blush, and blend out that line!




here's how it looks after you blend it!




now take your highlight shade...



and blendy blend that into the line, and up a little!





now, take a tiny detailer brush, and dip in the same highlight.




dab in your inner corner!




and after a little more blue shadow over the lid,
extra highlight under the brow bone,
eyeliner, and a lil more blending, here's the results!








hope that helps you understand!!!

edit:::

wow...looks purple up top, and I didnt even use any. pretty nifty! n.n

Or, if you are relatively brush less like me, you can also use a cotton bud/q-tip/whatever you might call it for the dab of highlight in the inner corner. Or a finger, but I have sausage fingers so I don't do it that way.

That little bit in the corner makes all the difference. Good job, Puffs!

mhm! q-tips are everyone's best friend, especially for makeup mishaps. it also helps to have those lil sponges that are square on one end, and pointed on the other. steal some from the makeup section in victoria's secret like I do! they wont notice!

thank you puffy! i get it now!
i put on some of the coppery coloured one and stuff just now and "blended" it its basically just rubbing out the edge a bit so its not as harsh right? :]

so...with the set i have, theres not really a high light is there? should i go out and get some white or something? hmmm

Any sheerish light colour will do, even a lil shimmery. At H&M they have some colours which are pretty for highlights. White or slightly cream is good though because it works with most colours.
Or at Superdrug, ya know that Miss Sporty brand? They're super cheap and they have tubes of highlight cream. You only need the TEENIEST bit. Too much and it's a bit of a mess.
Also, at your Superdrug do they have 2True? At mine it's on one of those spinny thingies and everythings 3 for £5!! They have a pale green which would work with Graffiti. Man I love 2True.. They have awesome nailpolish and glitter liners and they even do shimmer dust now..

P.S, have you been applying the shadow with an applicator? Cus whenever I use a brush with Ransom it just doesn't stick properly.. With an applicator or my finger though it's fine. Weird.

wow thanks soraya! im going out on the 2nd then

and i use the little foam things that came with the set and it goes on fine.

Yeah those are applicators. See, with my brush the Deluxe eyeshadow doesn't pat down properly and stays mostly in like little tiny crumbly bits. I'll stick to the applicator till I get a better brush!

And no problem

little foam thingies. n.n

Yep, some products just don't adhere to brushes well.

I was talking to a girl I met through Specktra about it and she was like NO, BRUSHES ONLY PLZ. Psh, ridiculous. I use sponge applicators even for MAC stuff (Aquadisiac and Clarity both refuse to work with both natural and synthetic brushes), I love 'em. Apparently it's a big no no because it sucks up product, but, hey, whatever works. I'll use just as much eyeshadow trying to put 786865324 freaking layers of it with a brush as I would with 1 or 2 swipes with a sponge tip applicator.

/rant

Highlights are good. I have naturally low brows so it sometimes looks as if I'm frowning, highlights change that

the way I get brushes work on shadows is to take the end of my brush, and to scrape it a little. usually, its a LOT softer under the top layer. sometimes I use a sponge to dab extra powder in my crease...if only I knew where my wet n wild creme shadow went...oh, I wouldnt have to do that...

Yeah, I tried that with Aquadisiac but it didn't work. With Clarity it was a bit better, but still nothing amazing. Evil eyeshadow, but so pretty...

now thats lame. something I tried to do with my prestige quad, is apply it over my base wet, then apply over that dry. too much work!

I usually use sponges for like my base colour, so if Im doing like a pink smoky eye I'll put on black all over my lid with an sponge applicator and then put the pink on with a brush.

that second one on the last row could be a highlight - it doesnt have to be white and all shimmer! it can just be a warm colour that suits you! :]

ok keeks! i looked at the colours and since its australia day today i'm going with green and gold! i'm gonna attempt a video tut once ray leaves, so you'll just have to ignore my nasty croaky voice which is a bit screwed from playing 5 hours of singstar last night!

i'll be using fyrinnae OMGWTF and gilded wings (closest colours i have to yours), with finnegans wake as a highlight and my green napoleon colour for the crease

OOOOOH I WANNA SEE THIS!!
