Warm Toned Eyeshadows
I am a sucker for a warm eye shadow. I'm just not keen on cool tones on my eyes, I find myself constantly drawn to warm shades and I prefer how they look on my blue eyes. I've built up a bit of a collection of warm shadows and although I have a few cooler shades in my stash, these are the ones I find myself reaching for over and over again.
I am a bit of a palette girl, so there aren't many single shades in my collection but there are a few warm tones that I can't get enough of. This gorgeous shade is Baked from Urban Decay and I adore it. I recently discovered how incredible it is when applied using a wet brush, but even dry it's gorgeous. A sweep of this with a darker matte colour in the crease/outer corner is something I find myself doing all year round.
The Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze is a neutral-ish bronze shade leaning slightly warm, but I often find myself using a warmer brown powder eye shadow on top which makes it appear SO much more coppery. I also adore the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in rust, which is much more red-toned and although the pigmentation isn't too impressive, it's a gorgeous shade.
How could I do an eye shadow post without including an Urban Decay naked palette? The original palette is packed with a range of neutral shades, and although they aren't all warm toned, most are. My favourite warmer shades have to be Buck and Half-Baked.
The Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita palette is a beautiful collection of shades which can be used separately or used all together to create a full warm-toned smoky look. I adore the glittery 'Pop' shade - it's quickly becoming my favourite eye shadow. The shimmery 'Enhance' is also a beauty - I am falling for this palette pretty quickly! Full post coming on my Charlotte Tilbury bits soon!
Lastly, the beautiful Urban Decay Gwen Stefani palette has a few warm toned eye shadows mixed in, my favourite being Punk; a dark brown with warm under tones which I can't get enough of. I am finding myself popping this in the outer V regardless of what eye shadow I'm wearing at the moment, it seems to be a perfect pairing with pretty much everything!
What are your favourite warm toned shades? I've got my eye on some Make Up Geek shades.

Half Baked used to me one of my favourite eyeshadows a few years ago. I don't really know why I stopped using it, but I should pull it out again! That Dolce Vita palette is all kinds of beautiful as well.

The first and orginal NAKED palette is by far the best, the colours are gorgeous and perfect for day and night.
