How to create a glamour-ween makeup look with Urban Decay
If the blood and gore of the 31st of October isn't for you, Halloween is the perfect opportunity to go a little bit further with your makeup and create a seductive, vampy makeup look.
We've teamed up with Urban Decay to help you create the perfect glam-yet-spooky eye look with their divine Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette. With vampy pinks and rich, black cherry hues, the newest addition to the Naked lineup is perfect for the scariest night of the year.
Urban Decay Halloween eye makeup look
1.
Begin by prepping your eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion to ensure your glamour-ween look lasts all night long. Apply with either your fingers or a flat eyeshadow brush, taking the product all over your lid and up to your brow bone.
2.
Taking shade Juicy from the Cherry Palette on a fluffy brush, begin to create a hollowed-out effect on the inner corner of your eye. Focussing the shade from the inner corner of your eye up to your brow bone, follow your bone structure to create the illusion of a deeper socket. Keep all the colour intensity on the inner corner of your eye, leaving your lid and outer corner free and gradually fluff the colour up into the beginning of your brows.
3.
Apply a little of the shade Juicy underneath your lower lash line to build up the intensity of your look, taking it all the way across the eye. Don't worry about being too neat and precise.
4.
With a tapered brush such as the Urban Decay E201 Smoky Crease Brush, intensify the shape you have created with Juicy with Bing, a deeper matte cherry shade. Apply to the inner corner and begin to feather the colour lightly across the blank space on your eye lid. Take the shade Bing across your lower lash line on top of Juicy to add more drama.
5.
Mixing together Devilish and Privacy on the same brush, add more intensity to your inner corner, keeping close to your upper lash line to add even more drama and depth.
6.
Mist a flat brush, such as the Urban Decay E206 Flat Eyeshadow Brush, with All Nighter Setting Spray and dip in to shade Young Love, a beautiful metallic pink. Pack the shadow all over your lid to create a foiled effect and blend out with your crease brush.
7.
Taking the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Alkaline, apply to your upper and lower water lines, building up the colour and intensity to deepen your eye look. Blend the pencil below and above your lash lines with a flat eyeshadow brush and the shade Privacy.
8.
Complete your look with a few layers of Urban Decay Perversion Mascara and apply the Urban Decay Naked Cherry Vice Lipstick in Devilish to your lips.
