Naked 3 Palette - Romantic Smokey Eye Tutorial



HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!
Hope everyone had a lovely night and isnt feeling rough this morning!

I for one had a fab night in (im not your typical teenage party animal haha - I dont drink!) I went for dinner with my girls from school and then had a relaxing night in with Wii games, food and films with my lovely boyfriend :)

For Christmas I got another Naked palette!! Number 3! so last night I wanted to experiment with it as it was my first chance to go out, where its acceptable to wear  heavy eye makeup rather than coming down the stairs with it on and my mum be horrified!!
I wanted to go for a slightly smokey eye and after searching YouTube/pinterest for some ideas I was getting repeatedly fed up of watching the videos and the person using naked 3 but also using a million pound worth of MAC brushes etc, the stuff us average SKINT students DONT have! *HOPE YOUR LISTENING YOUTUBERS*
No wonder their thumbnail looked so amazing!
So taking this into account.. I wanted to share with you all the tutorial to my eye makeup, using ONLY the Naked 3 palette and the brushes included!!
Enjoy :)

This tutorial is to create this look..




Start off by applying a primer all over your lid and brow bone but dont worry if you dont have any, it isnt essential I just find that it brings the pigment up better - I only used the free samples you receive in the Naked Palette boxes!
Then apply Strange all over your inner corner using the bushy side of the brush and down on to the tear duct. 
With the pointy side of the brush apply Factory in a curve following the crease line, keep it above your crease line. Use the brush to create a actual line of shadow and bring it down diagonally away from your outer corner, then join it to your outer corner like a liquid eyeliner flick. Sounds confusing i know - but looks FAB
With the bushy end of the brush blend over the line using small circles to even out the colour. Bring the eyeliner flick of shadow back into your eye socket rather than out.
Using the pointy side again take a TINY bit of Black Heart and dot it into your crease line, you could also miss this out if you wanted a more casual look. Blend into your crease and up into Factory using the bushy side.
Taking the bushy side, apply Dust all over your lid, I also take it up into my crease to blend all the colours as this colour is very shimmery and the others are matte. 
Use Trick for the centre of your eye and dusted around the other colours.
Finally, take Mugshot with your pointy side and draw in from your outer corner down under your bottom lashes.
 I also quickly took a pale colour, like Strange and dusted it down my brow bone to highlight it and allow the shadow to look more 'controlled'.
Add a flick of eyeliner on top, your fave lashes/quick slick of mascara and your looking fab!!! :)
