Urban Decay Naked: 7 of the Best Tutorials!

Good morning!

There are some mornings I sit down at my vanity and I feel inspired to create an amazing eye look that dazzles and impresses.

And then there are most some mornings when I sit down and stare blankly at my ridiculous collection of makeup, completely dumbfounded at how I’m going to look like a person.

If you’ve been having mornings like the latter example, I’ve got just the thing for you!

Blow the dust and powder off your old Urban Decay Naked Palette, (the original!) and pick any of these amazing tutorials for an easy look! No thinking required!

5 Minute Face: Drugstore Edition

Hey friends!

I hope your week is going well! The topic for this post has been especially relevant to me this week as I adjust to 5:30 mornings again.

We’ve all been there some of us daily: The morning that something goes wrong and we’re in a rush to get out the door. 

In these times of extreme panic and coffee chugging, it’s good to have what I call the 5 Minute Face* up your sleeve: the makeup you can throw on while eating a granola bar and finding a shoe. (That was an exaggeration, if you can really multitask like this, I am impressed.)

It’s not a full face of makeup, but it’s done in 5 minutes, and you look awake and put together. Today’s products to help you get ready in a flash are all under $10, so that should add some pep in your step this morning!

*TBH I have a 15 Minute Face. I don’t move fast in the mornings. At all.

Good morning Beauties!

Well, it’s Monday. If you are anything like me, you might have woken up this morning and wondered how you were going to get out of your bed, let alone do your makeup. (Maybe that’s just me?)

You might be thinking, “Rebs, it is Monday and you are telling me about a $50 palette, I can not handle this.”

Don’t worry, I’ve got a way to get the Chocolate Bar for $20 off, too! Just grab some coffee and start your week off on the right foot with me!

Hello Beauties,

You are about to get a real taste of my new blogging skills as I attempt to upload pictures…in technicolor!

But first!

So, I wanted to put all of my favorite Nude ‘Tude tutorials in one place! I hope this helps some other makeup newbies.

TheBalm’s Nude ‘Tude Week!

Good morning Beauties!

One thing I’ve noticed with a makeup addiction is I love buying new shit. It’s a cheap thrill getting my little hands on some new lipstick or blush. (Maybe I need to look into this addiction, DON’T JUDGE OK) Anyways, because I usually have a steady influx of new makeup, I can forget some of the greats. For the next few weeks I’m going to devote a week to a palette I haven’t been in touch with for a while. This week it’s TheBalm’s Nude ‘Tude. Admittedly, a delightfully priced palette that I was able to get for 50% off when they had a flash sale, placing it at about $16 bucks. (Seriously friends, I never pay full price for TheBalm,and other similar mid-range brands-but look for another post on that soon!)

I went with the "Nice" option as to not frighten coworkers when traveling.

Poor Nude’ Tude. It’s a great palette in it’s own right, lovely colors with great pigmentation and a nice range of nudes. But I usually pass it up for other nude-ish palettes (COUGH The Chocolate Bar COUGH). NudeTudePan NOT SO THIS WEEK! I am going to lavish love on the Nude ‘Tude palette and come up with an eye look everyday! Some will be my own creation (God help us) and some will be inspired by internet tutorials-which I will reference. So hold on to your seats friends, it’s going to be a week with Nude ‘Tude!

Feel free to share your favorite Nude ‘Tude look in the comments!

Love!
