Yes, yes, I know that everyone and their grandma has the Urban Decay Naked palette now - what can I say, I'm late to the party! Still, never mind eh? I adore this palette, and have been lusting over it since the minute I first saw the PR pictures. I have to say, it's quite odd for me to lust over a palette with such neutral tones, but something about the Naked palette really grabbed me. Maybe it's because I work in a school now, and exciting eyeshadow isn't really the done thing (that and I don't really have time to faff with makeup when I have a 30 minute cycle ahead of me).
I think what I like is that this is such a compact and usable palette. It's the sort of thing that would work perfectly for a weekend away - colours which are easy to wear day and night and which can be worn simply or dramatically.
My favourite colours are Darkhorse (a complex black and and slightly green infused brown), Hustle (almost maroon brown) and Gunmetal (blue persian cat esq grey). This is how all 12 look swatched:
For some reasons, my eyeliner swatches look rubbish so I'm not going to include them, but basically you get a snazzy double ended 24/7 liner (see the first couple of pictures) with Zero (black) at one end and Whisky (a warm rich brown) at the other. All in all, a gorgeous palette at a very reasonable price. I think I may be in love.
Available from Urban Decay concessions for £27 (possibly, although it is sold out in many places)
Do you have the Urban Decay Naked palette? Do you love it or do you feel it was overhyped?
I think it looks/ sounds very appealing - especially with it being perfect for weekends away/ travel etc. However, I already own three pans of 'Smog', one of 'Half Baked', one of 'Sidecar' and 'Toasted'...can't justify a palette with more of them in! Though it is very pretty and Urban Decay make my fave neutrals...
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI want it! My favourite nude (from last years No7 autumn limited edition pallet) is almost gone, so I've been looking for a new one. Why buy one when I can get all them! xx
ReplyDeleteBeauty's Bad Habit - I have to say, the think holding me back was that I already have a few of the colours in other incarnations (i.e. in the BOS II and the Alice palette) but it's just such a nifty size that it sort of makes up for that :)
ReplyDeleteLauren - it's fab isn't it!
Dan - My thoughts exactly! Buy it before it goes!
I still dont have it, but i really need to get out and buy it!
ReplyDeleteI love love love this palette, so worth the hype and it's just perfect. It has however made me lazy when it comes to make up on a day to day basis ;)
