Natural Look - Initial Thoughts

Below are a few examples of the Urban Decay NAKED range, which is a more natural side of UD and focuses on champaign, gold and metal tones to create a natural look. They're "natural" look involves a perfect base and contouring, thick brows and near natural, glossy lips. Eyes are still quite made up, but with natural colours that compliment skin tone. Something that sets the natural side of UD from other brands is that they usually, but not always, tight line the bottom waterline with a black pencil. this would usually be considered too heavy for a natural look but it is something almost typical of the UD natural face.


  






As you can see from above they've even adapted their bridal makeup to reflect their grungier side, but everything still looks peasant and natural. This is what I am going to try and achieve with my natural look. I am going to use metallic eyeshadows that compliment skin tone and rely on minimal black kohl liner, rather than liquid or gel for that smudgy, softer look. I will keep lips natural and glossy.
