The original Urban Decay Naked Palette was released last year. I got this in the Duty Free bit of the airport when I last went away in January, its been sat in my “to be reviewed” pile for a while, lol.
This is £36 in the UK (but Beauty Bay has it for £32) and $50 in the US (at UrbanDecay.com).
I think I got this for around £27 though if I remember correctly.
This palette has 12 shades, a brush and a mini UDPP. 10 of these are in the neutral family and the last two are greys, which seem an odd choice but I like these two shades.
Most of the shades are shimmery (but no chunky glittery shades that Urban Decay is infamous for!) There are also a couple of mattes thrown in for good measure. As with all my UD colours, they have an amazing texture and great colour payoff.
Overall: I think this is great value for the price, you get 12 colours and they’re all great quality and value. The fact you get a brush and UDPP mini on top of everything else shows that is it truly amazing for the price. I don’t know if I’d get Naked 2, I think one might be enough, I’d have to see how many colours are doubled in the Naked 2 palette.
Virgin – Satin nude, as you can see this is very close to my nature skin tone. This would make an awesome brow highlight for light to medium skin tones.
Sin – A lovely shimmery peachy champagne, similar to Urban Decay’s Primer Potion of the same name.
Naked – A matte neutral tan, this would look great as a highlight on medium dark to dark skin tones. Would look great as a cut crease on light to medium skin tones.
Sidecar – A shimmery tan, has some very fine glitter to it.
Buck – A matte neutral light brown, this would be a great highlight for dark skin tones, and would also look great for cutting the crease on light to medium skin tones.
Half Baked – I have this in a few palettes now, its a great shimmery bronze that is so versatile. I use this colour all the time!
Smog – This is a much darker bronze than Half Bakes, with a copper reflects to it.
Darkhorse – This is dark neutral brown with fine gold glitter. This is less frosty than the others, almost a satin.
Toasted – A lovely shimmery rich copper. This one has such a smooth texture, its like butter.
Hustle – A warm lovely frosty medium brown.
Creep – A matte dark grey base with fine blue and pink glitter.
Gunmetal – A dark shimmery grey.
