Makeup Wars – Urban Decay Naked 3 Shimmery, Holiday Eye Look
When it comes to special occasion makeup, I tend to rely on a smokey eye as evidenced by my Jump Back Ball looks (here and here). So when the latest Makeup Wars challenge called for a Holiday Eye look, I decided to buck tradition by opting for soft and shimmery, featuring the new Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, offset by a bold lip. Check it out!
Get The Look
To create this soft shimmery eye and bold lip, I used Urban Decay Naked 3 ($52, Sephora.com), Urban Decay Naked 2 24/7 Glide-On Double-Ended Eye Pencil ($16, UrbanDecay.com), COVERGIRL Bombshell Volume Mascara ($11.99, Walgreens.com), MAC RiRi Woo Lipstick ($16.50) and Pro Longwear Lip Pencil ($21.50).
The specific shades I used from Naked 3 are: Dust, Limit, Burnout, Trick and Liar.
Urban Decay Naked 3 swatches
I started with a base of Urban Decay Primer Potion and swept Limit over the entire eye as a neutral, matte background to work off of. Having Limit as a backdrop helped the shimmery shades show up without needing a ton of product layered on the eye.

I then applied Burnout to the inner half of my lid, Trick to the outer half with Liar in the crease. I blended them all together using Dust to give it an overall ethereal shimmer. I used Dust on my lower lash line as well, after a applying Perversion liner to my waterline and upper lash line.
A couple coats of COVERGIRL Bombshell Volume Mascara and my look is complete.
Finally, to complete the overall holiday party look, I added a cool, matte red lip using MAC RiRi Woo Lipstick over RiRi Woo Pro Longwear Lip Pencil.

Beautiful! The perfect look for holiday! The red lip is the perfect shade on you, such a complementing pop to the soft eye!

You look so pretty
You should show more eye looks since you do a sensational job. What a pretty combo using the UD palette.
Great look. That is YOUR red Missy!
Love the colors you picked from Naked 3! Definitely going to have to try that combo on my own. Gorgeous look!
So gorgeous! I need to get that darn palette! You sold me!
It is subtle and pretty on you! Hope you have a very Merry Xmas!
Pretty! Merry Christmas!
I love the whole look on you! This is my preferred eye look for every day. I have Naked 3 and will try these combos. Usually I wear only 2 shades at a time, but the additional 2 shades add so much depth and interest. I love the lipstick color on you, but with my skin tone, I can’t wear *bright* reds.
I’m new to your blog and am enjoying it very much. Do you have a tutorial on applying lip liner? I’ve never used one, although I recently bought a nude color from the Sephora Collection, but I don’t know how to use it, lol! (I’m pretty fair and prefer either a nude lip color, or one that’s just a bit darker than my natural lips.)
Thanks again for a great blog, and Happy Holidays!
You look really beautiful! You did a great job with the makeup.
Wow….looks great…..I don’t have that palette yet….now I wantsie!!!
