Challenge Week: Urban Decay Electric Palette

201506_urbandecayelectric_challengeweek

You’ve seen Swatch Sunday featuring the Urban Decay Electric palette. You know what this sucker is about. This is about pure unadulterated, pigmented, neon colour glory all packed into one palette. So, of course, I’m doing a Challenge Week on this beauty.

It’s also Pride Week here in Toronto! While a few cities have had their celebrations come and go already, this is my city’s week, so what better opportunity than now to share some insanely fun looks to wear out to Pride?

Note:
I sometimes used NYX’s Milk as a base, but I can’t remember for which looks.

Let’s start this off with a bang! I cannot lay claim to creating this look at all, although I did do a more amped up version. I stole inspiration for this look from EmilyNoel83 and it came out even better than I had hoped. That reddish-orange? TO DIE FOR.

Eyes

  1. Slowburn all over the entire lid.
  2. Revolt on the inner corner.
  3. Wet n Wild Brulee on the brow bone.

I used Urban to line the lower lash line and tightlined both waterlines with my Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon in Blacquer. The wing was done with MAC‘s fluidline inBlacktrack and I’ve got Make Up For Ever‘s Smoky Stretch mascara on my lashes.

I guest posted over on Beauty Infinitum this past month and I LOVED how the look came out!

Eyes

I first applied NYX‘s Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk all over the lid, blended it in with my finger, then proceeded with the following shadows (all Urban Decay unless otherwise specified):

  1. Freak on the inner half of the lid.
  2. Gonzo on the outer half of the lid.
  3. Urban on the outer corner and along the outside of the lower lash line.
  4. Savage through the entire crease.
  5. Wet n Wild Brulee to highlight the brow bone.
  6. Thrash on the inner tear duct.
  7. Slowburn on the middle of the lower lash line.

I drew the inner and outer winged liner with Make Up For Ever‘s Ink Liner and then tightlined both upper and lower lash lines with Marc Jacobs Highliner in Blacque. I applied a few coats of CoverGirl‘s Clump Crusher mascara to my lashes and popped on some House of Lashes Bombshell falsies.

Rest of the Face

  • Foundation: Boots No7 Instant Radiance in Cool Vanilla
  • Bronzer: Hard Candy Hula Hula
  • Blush: Hourglass Diffused Heat
  • Highlighter: MAC Soft and Gentle
  • Lips: I first applied Too Faced Melted Rainbow to see how it looked… but I wasn’t a huge fan. So I blotted most of it off and applied NYX‘s Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee which left me with a bit of a pink-tinged lip.

Mmmmm I got a lot of compliments on this one, but I wasn’t totally pleased with how I looked in the mirror. That being said… the shots turned out pretty decent… so I guess the mirror lies? Wouldn’t wear that lip colour with this look again though.

This was… what I ended up with. I tried doing a solid rainbow for the CBB meetup this past Sunday and I failed SO HARD. I could not get the colours to turn into a decent rainbow gradient, and I think it’s because there’s too much of a variety of finishes. Rainbow gradients seem to only work for me when I do either all matte, or all shimmer. ANYWAY. This got a rave review from the other bloggers so I was happy about that!

Eyes

  1. Chaos all over the lid.
  2. Urban on the outer corner.
  3. Savage through the crease.
  4. Wet n Wild Brulee on the brow bone.

I created the wing with Kat Von D‘s Tattoo Liner in Trooper and applied Make Up For EverSmoky Stretch to my lashes. I also applied some MAC Transparent Red glitter to my lower lash line.
