"...there's some baking"

Anyone who knows me will know I'm not referring to the cooking type of baking as this would be disastrous ... But I am rearing to the Urban Decay eye shadows in half baked and twice baked. 
I have had these shadows for a long while now and although I love the colours, I never really like a golden eye on myself. I think it has something to do with my Marge Simpson skin tone and it all just looks to yellowish! 
However, as many make up lovers will agree, when you  rediscover a product, you kind of talk yourself into it... " well I didn't like it in the past, but I might feel differently now.." And that's the mantra that I was saying the morning I did this look.

The shadows themselves are highly pigmented as most Urban Decay shadows are. 

Here are some swatches of the colours I used;


Colour placement is quite basic, Half Baked across the lid, Twice Baked in the outer v & crease and Oil Slick as liner and to deepen the outer v. 

Think gold looks look a lot more flattering on green/blue eyed blondes- what do you guys think? (please excuse the un-tamed eyebrows!!! in great need of plucking session!!!!)
