To recreate this look -

• Apply UD primer potion all over the lid


• Apply MAC's Ricepaper from lash line to brow - this will work as your highlight as well as a base for the UD deluxe shadows


• Using a flat eyeshadow brush apply UD sting all over the lid to just above the crease. A flat eyeshadow brush is best to pack on colour


• Using a blending brush apply UD fishnet to the outer corner fo the lid and blend upwards to smoke out the shadow.


• Apply liner if you want and a tonne of mascara!

Finished look:

UD Deluxe

Urban Decay Deluxe Shadows

One of my favourite cosmetics brands is Urban Decay. I love bold, bright shadows and I think that they offer the best range of bright shadows - yes even better than MAC ;)


Adore (single shadow, bottom) is the most stunning shade of royal blue. I haven't found a dupe for it yet.

If you're thinking of buying Urban Decay but are put off by the £12 price tag of the singles, the palette is only £25 which per shadow works out dirt cheap.
Here is a look I've done recently using the palette:

Series: Liners

The first series of posts I'm going to do will cover the various liners I've tried and my views on them.

First up are my HG (holy grail) pencil liners :

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils

Cost: around £9 per liner or £16 for a set of 5 mini liners
Availabilty: many online retailers stock this product, larger Boots shops.
Pros: creamy, very pigmented, stay on until you use make up remover!
Cons: may be too pricey for some

Chica's rating out of 10 : 10

If you are short on cash or want to try a few different colours without shelling out the full £9 for one, I would recommend the mini sets, these also make excellent presents for the make-up addicted amongst your friends!
