Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette Review

RATING : 8.5 OUT OF 10

By now, almost all of out there have gathered much information about the Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette, now here’s aEsThEtIcS review on the product.

The cost of the entire palette is US $ 27 and the palette is especially made for neutral eyeshadow lovers. Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette has 6 eyeshadows namely –

Venus, which is an off-white color. It’s a bit frosted shade, can be applied on the brow bone region. The pigmentation is good. Also the texture of the shadow is soft.

Foxy, which is light yellow or beige color

Walk of Shame, which is very light pinkish nude color

Naked 2, which is light taupe color. It has a bit of brown and gray in it.

Faint, which is a warm brown color

Crave, which is darkest brown or black color. Its safer to say that the shade is actually black having some brown undertones.

Now, this eyeshadow palette is a must-have in one’s vanity if he/she is a fan of matte eyeshadows, just like me! All the colors are absolutely matte. The palette is tiny in size, I would say and has minimal eyeshadow colors. So in a way we can say that Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette is indeed travel friendly. The packaging is compact and is also light in weight. However, even though the palette looks tiny, inside you get full-sized eyeshadows. The palette is made up of rubber and does not get dirty due to finger prints as it can wiped off easily.

Now, there is one issue with this palette, if you have already got the other Urban Decay Naked Palette, and intending to buy this, you might get some common colors in both the palettes, so before purchasing, please be sure, you need the other few shadows in this Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette which are not available in the other palette. There is a similarity in between Crave and Blackout, Venus and Bootycall, Naked 2 and Naked 1, Faint and Buck. However there are just 3 shades in lighter tones in the Basic palette which are different.

One thing must be mentioned here and that is the super wonderful texture of the eyeshadows. It is silky and smooth and not at all powdery. The color payoff is really great. And additionally, all the shadows in the Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette stay on for whole day with the use of eyeshadow primer, isn’t that amazing!

URBAN DECAY Naked Palette

RATING – 8 OUT OF 10

Naked URBAN DECAY Palette is a must have in every girl’s vanity. Since URBAN DECAY is not available in Indian shops, i ordered it online, and was waiting eagerly to get the package. Its a biggy palette – obviously not a huge one as that of Coastal Scents, but the palette consists of 12 colors. Now why URBAN DECAY has named the palette ‘Naked’ is not known, but i assume there’s an eye shadow named ‘Naked’ in the palette, which has made the inventors name the palette so.

Some shades wont be found single, so you need to buy the Naked palette to own them. Basically you are gonna get different shades of browns in the palette, so if you love brown/nude smokey eyes, this Naked palette is just for you dearie!

You can see the Urban Decay Naked Palette’s picture on top. Its made in USA, not a Chinese product. Has got a magnet in the lid, with the help of which you can close the palette. Naked palette is a very sleek one, so it wont occupy much space in your hand bag. Also you will get a primer as well as an eye shadow brush with the palette, so thats really a superb deal. Everything for US $ 48. And the shadows weigh 0.05 oz each.

Now the problem with most palettes are that, all shades are not the same, the pigmentation varies. Naked Palette is also not an exception to that. The matte colors were really not that pigmented and not smooth to be applied properly. Suitable for the brown eyeshadow lovers, while many youngsters may not find the palette that attractive.

You can get one from any online shop. Obviously if you would want to buy all shades separately, many would not be available, since they are exclusively made for the palette. And it would cost thrice more than $ 48. Naked palette is a good one undoubtedly, but its not a must-have palette, unless and until you are URBAN DECAY maniac or may be a brown shadow lover.
