Urban Decay Naked Palette Review, Swatches & EOTDs

I can't believe it took me so long to post this! It's been more than a month since I got this palette (previous post here). I just realized it now! Gosh, how fast does time fly these days??!! I apologize for the delay- to those of you who were waiting for this post.

• Virgin ~ Shimmery pale beige. This is the least pigmented of all the eyeshadows here.
• Sin ~ Frosty champagne. This color catches light beautifully when applied right in the center of your lids.
• Naked ~ Flesh or browned-beige in matte finish. I use this on my crease & to blend eyeshadows A LOT.
• Sidecar ~ Glittery taupe-y brown. There's always that one eyeshadow in a palette that you notice first. This is the one for me. Fallout prob coz of the glittery-ness, but it's so so gorgeous!
• Buck ~ Matte medium brown. I use this a lot too. Most times I mix it with Naked if I want to darken the crease area.
• Half Baked ~ Subtle lustrous bronze. This is the attention wh*re in this palette. It stands out every time I take a photo. I like to use this on the center of my lids on top of a darker color, like Buck or Hustle, for a bit of drama.
• Smog ~ Frosted bronze. I think this is my least favorite color in this palette, because I've hardly used it. But it super pigmented.
• Darkhorse ~ Olive brown with gold shimmer. This is my favorite of the darker colors. It really suits my brown eyes.
• Toasted ~ Rich Copper, says UD. Really? It looks pinkish. I pair it with Hustle most of the time.
• Hustle ~ Plum brown. Everyday outer V color.
• Creep ~ Bluish-Black with silver & gold shimmer (?). If you want a smokey eye out of this palette then you can't skip this. I use it as a liner when I'm going for neutral. This color could be black's alter ego.
• Gunmetal ~ Grey with silver glitter. I use this alone mostly, with Naked & Buck on the crease.

*I'm kind of confused with the colors & shimmers, so might have to edit the color descriptions late.

Review:

I'm going to keep it short & to the point. This is the best eyeshadow palette I've ever purchased. That is because it is one palette with versatile eyeshadows I can practically use everyday. You can say it's the most usable palette. I don't know what I'd do without Naked & Buck. I use them all the time, coz I almost always need to make a fake crease. I can safely say that it is so worth the hype. The eyeshadows, especially the shimmery ones, are so pigmented and smooth.

Dislike: Suede cover attracts fibres. But I love it.

On to the swatches....

Virgin, Sin, naked, Sidecar

Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse

Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal

Below are 2 EOTDs I clicked randomly on th:

• Look 1 ~ Here I used Sidecar on my lid & inner corner & Naked on my crease. You can see Sidecar flies/fall out, but it also look kind of magical in the pic hehe.

• Look 2 ~ Here I used Hustle all over lid & Creep to line eyes.

Urban Decay Good Karma Brush ~ Quite versatile, but not for proper blending. It can be used to apply eyeshadow all over, and the thin rounded tip is ideal for lining. I just love how the metallic handle feels. It's totally vegan too!

Urban Decay Shadow Insurance also come with this palette.You can go HERE to read what I think about it.

Got it, used it, swatched it, clicked over a 100 photos of it & reviewed it. Now I can sleep. NAKED. Nah, I can't sleep naked! Can't. Makes me feel like a defenceless animal/cavewoman.


Okay, now I'm done with all the naked talk. But I have to say this- 'Nangaa Palette' haha.... 


I'm out.
