EOTD/Tutorial/Swatches: Sleek Au Naturel eye shadow palette (from the Nude collection)

Hey everyone!

Today I have another EOTD for you with step by step pictures, but first I'm going to start off with pictures and swatches of the Au Naturel palette from Sleek. This palette came out with the Nude collection. It has a good selection of neutral colours, great for light daytime looks or darker looks for a night out. Three of the colours have a frost finish, one has a more satin finish, the others are matte.

Here are some pictures of the palette.

On to the tutorial!

I started of by priming my eye with MAC Paint Pot in Nubile (this came out recently with the Posh Paradise collection, swatches coming soon!)
I filled in my brow mixing Nubuck and Bark and used Nougat with a flat shader brush as a brow bone highlight.

Next, I applied Taupe all over the lid and in the inner corner with a flat shader brush.

To define the crease and add some shading, I mixed Cappuccino and Bark and applied in the crease with a blending brush. Then I darkened up the crease and defined it even more using a crease brush with Mineral earth right in the crease and outer corner.

With the same crease brush, I used Noir in the outer corner.

On the bottom lash line I applied Conker with a pencil brush. On the bottom waterline I used a skin coloured eyeliner (Isa Dora Inliner Kajal in 56 Blonde).

I added MAC's Blacktrack fluidline to the top lash line.

Then applied mascara, Max Factor False Lash Effect, to the top and bottom lashes.

You could leave it like this, but I wanted to add some extra drama so I applied Ardell's Demi Wispies.

And that's how I created this look. I hope you like it!
