For this look, I used shades from the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette to create a warm, plummy effect on the eyes. Here’s how to re-create this look:

Blueberry Wine
For this look, I combined bright candy pink, bluish-purple and blackberry toned eyeshadows to create a fun, colourful effect on the eyes. Using an eyeshadow which contrasts slightly on the inner part of the lid adds a fun ‘pop’ to the look.

Jewelled Emerald and Navy (Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette)
For this look, I paired together emerald green and navy eyeshadows to create a ‘jewelled’ effect on the eyes. Flicking out the crease colour elongates the eye and adds an exotic twist.

After Sunset
This look was inspired by the shades I saw in the sky after the sun had set recently. The colours of muted orange, red and faded blue-grey looked so pretty together and I thought it would be fun to re-create the effect on my eyes.

Face of the Day: Pink Ballerina (Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette)
For this look, I used neutral shades of pink eyeshadow to create a fresh and polished effect on the eyes. Using pale shimmery pinks on the eyes is a good way to introduce a little colour to your routine without deviating too much from a neutral spectrum. Pale pinks can also be very brightening on the eyes – perfect for days when you might be feeling a little tired.
Tip: This look is neutral enough that you can pair it with other lip colours. Plums, burgundies and brighter pinks would add an extra surge of colour to this look and take it from day-time to night-time chic.

Pimento Olive
This look was inspired when I saw some green olives stuffed with pimento peppers in the supermarket. I thought the pairing of green with red was interesting and would be a fun combination to try in an eyeshadow look.
Tip: Ideas for combinations can come from all sorts of places! If you are looking for inspiration for eyeshadow colour combinations, look at flowers, birds, chocolate wrappers…anywhere you might see interesting colours.

Wearable Purples
This look shows that colour can be wearable when more muted shades are used on the eyes. I used subtle shades of purple and grey to create a soft wash of colour on the lids.

Pink and Purple Elongated Eye
For this look, I flicked out a dark purple eyeshadow in the outer section of the eye to create an elongated cat eye effect. Concentrating the rest of the eyeshadows in the lower part of the lid also helped to create a very crisp, defined shape on the eyes.
Tip: Focusing attention on the lower part of the eyelid gives a ‘flash’ of colour when your eyelids flick up and down.

Gold and Purple Orchid
For this look, I paired a bright yellow-gold with a bluish-purple eyeshadow to create a pretty, vivid effect. Using an eyeliner which is lighter than the eyeshadows on the lid is a fun way to create some interesting contrast on the eyes.
Here’s how to re-create this look:
Sky Blue Sunset
The sun was shining last week and so I designed a look to complement a summery outfit of pale blue and coral. I also used a little brown eyeshadow along the upper lashline to add some very soft definition to the eyes.
Tip: Using eyeshadow as eyeliner is a good way of adding subtle definition to the eyes. It also means you don’t have to invest in extra eyeliners, making it a good technique for saving money!
