Smokey Eye Tutorial Using MAC Leopard Luxe Shadow Quad and Urban Decay Naked Palette

Wild By Nature, Notoriety
Style Predator, Furiously Fabulous

I used my Leopard Luxe in a coral eye look, but I haven't tried it for a smokey eye. I honestly wasn't blown away by Furiously Fabulous - until I did this look. It is such a gorgeous, gorgeous color - sort of like a pewter-khaki color on my lids. It looks darker in the pan but it morphs into a very pretty color when applied.


To create depth, I used Creep from Urban Decay Naked palette on the crease and outer V. It is a black shadow with micro-glitter.


I used Pet Me mineralize blush from the MAC Fabulous Felines collection.


I used my MAC lustreglass in Star Nova (right-most).


I used one of my all-time favorite MAC lipsticks ever, the beautiful Rubia named after Paulina Rubio (my Orchidazzle lipstick was being sandwiched by my two Rubias in the pic). I love it so much that I have fully consumed one tube, so I am now using the first of my two backups.


Of course, you just gotta love Purely Cosmetics' Diamond Perfect Finish powder. It gives an airbrushed finish and blurs imperfections and fine lines.


I also used my Benefit Creaseless cream shadow in Skinny Jeans as base for my Furiously Fabulous shadow.

Here's a step-by-step. All eye products MAC unless otherwise specified.



Apply Urban Decay primer potion in Sin all over lid, browbone and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Benefit Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Skinny Jeans on lid.


Using a stiff shader brush like the 239, apply Furiously Fabulous on lid.



Using Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Urban Decay shadow in Creep on outer V.




Like so. Blend with the 224 brush.


Using the same brush, create depth by applying more Creep on the crease if necessary.


Blend with the 224 brush.


Apply Vanilla pigment on the browbone using Stila No. 5 brush, and on inner corners using a small detail brush. Line upper lashline using L'oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner (felt tip).


Using a small detail brush (I used Coastal Scents' lip brush, a flat, stiff taklon brush), apply Furiously Fabulous on lower lashline. Tightline using Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero, and apply Chromagraphic pencil in NW25/NC30 on waterline. Apply Revlon falsies in Intensifying. Apply mascara.
