For this particular look, I took inspiration from the print on one of my favourite skirts. I love the combination of the gold, teal and black and thought it would look really interesting on the eyes.
I used the Urban Decay XX Vice Ltd Reloaded Palette to create this look. You can read more about this palette, see photos and view swatches here.
Here’s how to re-create this look:
This is the first of my looks using the new Urban Decay Moondust Palette. I really wanted to create a smokier look using one of the Moondust eyeshadows and so I used a deep metallic cranberry paintpot as a base. This particular paint pot adds a really pretty plum hue to Element eyeshadow.
Tip: Experimenting with different colours of eyeshadow base can bring out different tones in whatever eyeshadow you choose to use.

This is the first of my looks using the new Urban Decay XX Vice Ltd Reloaded Palette. I really wanted to try out some of the greens in the palette but I also liked the idea of adding in a little pop of red in the outer v. If the red (Gash) is too much for you, you could always substitute it with a green (like Misdemeanor) or a brown (like Smog or Twice Baked) from the palette.

For this look, I added a slick of a glitter liner (Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Amp) along the lashline to add some sparkle to this aqua-green combination. I really like the glitter liner adds a little extra something to the look, without changing it too much.

For this particular look, I took inspiration from a skirt I have with a tie-dye, swirled effect. The skirt has a mix of black, pink, blue and purple and I thought it would look so cool to mimic that combination on my eyes.
Here’s how to re-create this look:
For this look, I combined terracotta-brown and copper-orange eyesahadows to create a warm, autumnal effect on the eyes. I added in a little blackened olive-green eyeshadow to the outer v as well to add extra depth to the eyes.
Note: You can use any brand of eyeshadow you like which has similar shades to re-create this look (if you don’t have the Vice 4 palette).

This look is a slightly brighter version of the ‘Twist of Colour’ look I posted recently. For this look, I used a bright, shimmery silver on the lid, cork brown in the crease and a ‘pop’ of bright blue in the outer v part of the lid.
Tip: The beauty of this look is that you can adapt it using any other colour in the outer v. Try pink, purple, olive green, charcoal and black for a twist on the same look.

This look shows that red lipstick can be used with eyeshadow shades other than neutrals. I used peach and coral-red eyeshadows on the eyes to create a very fresh, slightly colourful effect on the eyes.
I completed the look using a peachy-pink blusher (MAC Pinch O’Peach) and a matte, pinky-red lipstick (Loreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Julianne’s Pure Red).

Adding in a bright colour to the outer v is a easy way to introduce colour without it being overpowering. For this look, I pepped up a relatively neutral silver and brown eye combination with a ‘pop’ of emerald green.
Tip: The beauty of this type of look is that you can adapt it using any colour in the outer v. Try swapping in purples, blues, coppers and blacks for an interesting twist on the same look.

Here’s how to re-create this look:
For this look, I brightened up a deep teal smokey eye by applying a true gold eyeshadow on the inner part of the lid. Using a lighter, shimmery shade on the inner lid adds some contrast when using deeper colours elsewhere on the lid.
