Rose and taupe EOTD with Urban Decay N@ked 3

I am having a spate of breakouts along the jawline as a result of my skin care routine suffering from last weekend's events. This time, I have painful, deep-seated bumps rather than pus-filled ones on the surface. Those, combined with the reappearance of dark circles - the result of all the medication - are making me feel and look dull, so I have picked out a not-so-bright rather dull eye look I did some days ago to show you.
This was actually an experiment with the Urban Decay N@ked 3 eyeshadow palette, swatched and reviewed here. Compared to my preferred bright eyeshadows, I have always felt that taupe would look dull on Indian skin. The photographs are all indoors in artificial light and the results are somewhat uninspiring, just as I am feeling.

For this look, Burnout, a peachy-rose, went on the centre of the eyelids. I applied just a spot of the rosier Buzz on the side of Burnout to blend it out. The deep taupe Darkside went on the outer crease to add a smoky look, though a light-handed one. The matte ivory Strange went into the inner corners and on the brow bone.
The look was finished with Bourjois Erasable Eyeliner on the upper lid, Too Faced Lash Injection Tubing Mascara and Lancome Crayon Kohl on the lower lashline. I wore this over Kat von D High Voltage Eye Primer.
I know I sound listless and in a hurry; I'll do better when my back is better and I can type and do bright eye looks properly.
