Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Eyeshadow Palette, 6 Blendable Matte Nudes Shades for Natural Looks, Compact Size Ideal for Travel, 7.8g

Product Information

Housed in an art school-inspired case with retro hinged lid, internal mirror and cruelty-free, double-ended eyeshadow/blending brush.

Naked 2 the shadow (and Frisk from Naked 2 Basics which is similar) can be used as a nice blending shade, but Foxy and Walk of Shame don't add much unless I want duplicate, subtle highlight colors.Combining a complementary selection of velvety, pressed powder eyeshadows from pale brown to cool bronze and jet black, the essential palette allows you to create a range of looks that add subtle depth or bold definition to the eyes. Whether it’s for a beauty lover, a homebody or you want to go all out, here are nine ideas that I would be more than happy to see under the tree. Tip: Use lightest colours as a base, medium colours in the crease, and darker shades to emphasise the outer corner of your eye. I'm pretty fair skinned, but my high contrast colouring (dark hair and eyes, fair skin) looks better with medium shade make up, as light coloured make up tends to wash me out or make me look like a Barbie doll. I don’t own Naked 1 (warm toned neutrals) because the shades were mostly too warm for me that I felt I didn’t need.

But anyway, I finally had a chance to photograph both for those of you who might still be wondering if you need to get the 3. When UD junkies cried out for a palette of matte neutrals, Naked Basics delivered—and left them begging for MORE shades. The Naked palettes at the moment come in three varieties: the warm-neutral toned Naked 1 (or original), the neutral/cool toned Naked 2 palette, and the rosey, softer Naked 3 palette.Mainly matte bar one shade, Skimp, which offers a slight satin finish ideal for highlighting and adding dimension to your look.

For the MUAs, I highly recommend this palette for your kit even if you already have the Naked Palette since the palette is compact, the eyeshadows have great pigmentation, and the shades are perfect for weddings.

These swatches were more for comparing the colors in the two palettes, and to show that some of the colors are quite different. The rich yet soft feel of these cool tones ensures easy application, while the compact case makes for effortless transportation. With the glittery shades you do get some fall-out, but what I like to do to get it off my face is taking a sticky tape and pick up the glitter with the sticky side (obviously) and it removes the little glitter specks perfectly.If you own the original Naked Palette and your reasoning for not getting Naked 2 is because they are too much alike, this is not the case.

At the time of purchase I was living near Seoul, Korea and spent most of my time in Seoul than at home.
