Friday Favourite #12 Mac's Naked Lunch Eye Shadow

Hey Guys! Today's post is of my favourite eye shadow right now, well basically for the last six months since I got it. Naked Lunch by Mac. I absolutely love this eye shadow along with many others women it seems as this is one of Mac bestsellers for eye shadows. I first heard of this eye shadow when Tanya Burr did a video of her favourite Mac eye shadows which you can watch here. I actually bought every single one of those eye shadows after I watched it to put in my Mac 15 palette. I just love the colour Naked Lunch and use it all the time across the lid and then put any colour I want in the crease because is such a nice shimmery nude colour that any colour will go with it. 

One of the things I love the most about all Mac eye shadows is that they are really high quality, the colour lasts for so long that my eye makeup looks the same when I'm taking it off as after I just put it on. I know there are always cheaper alternatives for Mac products that are as good quality, or near enough to it, as Mac, but I really think that their eye shadows are the best. I haven't found any eye shadows as good quality as them.. yet :P I have already used this eye shadow in a blog post I did quite a while ago of my everyday makeup tutorial, pairing it with Mulch, also by Mac, in the crease. To see that blog post click here. 

Naked lunch across the lid, with Mulch in the crease and Nylon in the inner corner.

1.       I filled in my eyebrows with Charcoal Brown using an angled brow brush by 17

2.       I started the eyes by rubbing Urban Decay’s Primer Potion all over the lid and up to the brow.

3.       Then I applied Naked Lunch all over the lid with the Sigma E60.

4.       Next I took some Mulch on the Sigma E40 and applied it through the crease.

5.       Then I used the same Sigma E40 to blend out the crease so that there isn’t a harsh line.

6.       Next I took Mulch under the eye using the Sigma E30.

7.       For a highlight I applied Brule just under the brow with the Sigma E30.

8.       To brighten up the eye, I used the Sigma E30 to apply Nylon to the inner corner.

9.       I then lined both my waterline and my tightline with the Maybelline eyeliner pencil.

10.   I took Carbon on the Sigma E65 and applied it as eyeliner to the upper lash line, winging it out slightly at the ends.

11.   For the Final step, I curled my lashes and applied Benefit’s They’re Real to my lashes in a zigzag motion.

Hope you like the look :)

P.S. More affordable looks will be posted soon. I just really love this one. For those on a budget, the only Mac eye shadows that you really need are Naked Lunch and Mulch. You can use whatever you want for your eyebrows, liner, highlighter, etc.
