Smoked Bronze Look Using Urban Decay Thunderbird Eyeshadow
Smoked Bronze Look Using Urban Decay Thunderbird Eyeshadow
I recently posted an article on Urban Decay Thunderbird eyeshadow (you can read more, see photos and swatches of this product here) and wanted to share a look using this product. I used black eyeshadow, a shimmery light peachy-brown eyeshadow and a little black eye liner to add extra smokiness to the look.

I wanted to do something different in terms of eyeshadow placement and colour combinations and came up with this look. I used bright gold and black from the Urban Decay Vice XX Ltd Reloaded Palette to create a strong, contrasting effect on the eyes. The black is meant to be very defined in this look, which is why I haven’t blended it out or softened the edges.
To complement the look: I used The Balm Greatest Hits Volume 2 In The Balm of Your Hand Palette for bronzer, brusher and highlighter. I finished off the look with MAC Syrup on the lips.

I thought it would be fun to use various shades of blue eyeshadow from MAC to kickstart my new ‘Spotlight on MAC’ series. You can read more about the ‘Spotlight on MAC’ series here.
Some of the shades are from the permanent range, whilst a couple are from past limited edition collections. I’ve given suggestions for permanent shades you can use in place of the limited edition ones, in case you don’t have them.
To complement the look: I used Kiko Marmoreal Biscuit Baked Blush (you can read more about this product here) on my cheeks and Bare Minerals Gen Nude Lipstick in Nudist on the lips.

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.

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.

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).
