WnW "Nude Awakening" Tutorial

I recently posted a review of the LE Spring eye shadow palettes from Wet n' Wild. Along with the review, I posted looks for each palette and someone requested that I do a walk through of the look from the "Nude Awakening" palette.

The picture tutorial is from completely bare eye, to complete with mascara and eyeliner.

 

 

 

 

It is always important to apply a primer to the lid. I use NYX HD primer and then I applied a base using Urban Decay shadow pencil in Sin, but a cheaper alternative would be a Milani Shadow Eyez pencil in "Champagne Toast", or for a matte option, "Almond Cream".



On the left you will see what primer and base looks like on the lid.

 

 

 

  I put this warm brown in to the crease as a transition color. 

 

 

I mixed the colors above and applied them in the crease and blended it out.

I then reapplied the warm brown in the crease to further blend everything together.

I also reapplied the lid color in order to make sure it was nice a metallic.

 

I applied the matte cream on the brow bone and a cream colored eyeliner to the waterline in order to make the eyes look brighter.

 

I took the brow bone and eyelid shadows on the right and applied it on the lash line with an angled brush.

 

I then applied a black liquid eyeliner and winged it out.

 

After applying the liner to both eyes, the last step was applying mascara.

 

 

And the final look (excuse the wet hair, I had just stepped out of the shower).

Review: Wet n' Wild LE "Spring Foward" Collection

 

"Nude Awakening" (L) "Going in the Wild" (R)

 

"Going in the Wild"

"Nude Awakening"


These two palettes came out around April/May. I had looked everywhere for them, but never had any luck. At the beginning of July, I decided to search my local Rite Aid for some deal that they had going on. While I was there I almost jumped for joy when I saw that they had both of these palettes! Apparently, they have re-released these. I am not sure how long they will be available in stores, but I would definitely recommend checking them out.

"Nude Awakening" is probably my favorite of the two palettes. The colors are more wearable, not to mention the pigmentation is better than "Going in the Wild". Most of the shades are shimmery but all of them look gorgeous on the lid. I got several compliments on the look above.

Again, most of these are shimmery, but they are not as pigmented as the other palette. The colors look beautiful in the pan, and even swatched, but when applied, you have to really pack on the color. I think that the colors are fun, but had I known about pigmentation, I think I would have passed.

Both of these palettes have some hits and misses, but "Nude Awakening" has way more hits than misses, the same cannot be said for "Going in the Wild" unfortunately.

Be sure to check your local Rite Aid for these LE shadows and buy the one you feel suits you the best.

I LOVE WnW LE anything, so I knew I had to have these, are you the same way?
