Look of the Day: New to Naked #2

Hi, everyone! If you've been reading the blog lately, you'll know that I finally picked up the Urban Decay Naked Palette(!) and have been having a bit of fun with it. Last week I posted my first-ever look using the palette and today's post features another!

This look is a touch smokier than the last and features some of the palette's lovely shimmery brown and bronze shades. It's an eye shadow look that I feel totally comfortable in- warm, a bit sultry, but still totally wearable. 

I paired the soft brown smokey eye with a matte, true peach blush (the ultra amazing Illamasqua Lover Powder Blush- a review of that to come as well) and a soft peachy pink lip (my new and exciting Revlon Lacquer Balm Lip Pencil in Demure).

To create the eye look, I first applied Half-Baked, a warm golden bronze, all over the lid and up into the crease. I then applied Smog, a warm shimmery brown on the crease and outer corner of the eye. Next, I applied a small amount of Dark Horse, a deep neutral brown, to the crease to add extra definition and a touch of smokiness. Finally, I used Virgin, a pale shimmery ivory as a highlight on the brow bone and inner corners of my eye. 

Here's a shot of the palette, marking the shades that I used (again, amazing graphics thanks to Paint ;)):
