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

Product Information

There are definitely a couple of shades that stand out more - in my own palette, I find that I use Half Baked (glittery gold), Snakebite (shimmery brown), Pistol (shimmery grey), Verve (shimmery silver), YDK (glittery silver with a hint of pink), and Busted (shimmery dark purple-brown) a lot more than the other shades. After the success of Naked Original, Naked2 and Naked3, Zomnir pushed the boundaries of what we define as ‘naked’ with Naked Smoky, Naked Heat and eventually Naked Cherry. Inspired by the ever-changing makeup world around her, it was important that the Naked eyeshadow palettes kept up. “I believe that nude shades evolve,” she notes. “The ‘naked’ shades of yesterday will be different from what we will want to wear tomorrow.” For Urban Decay it may be an issue that they are so synonymous with the product, that they may need to grow beyond that to grow the brand image into something else for the brand’s future,” he said, while adding that while it is not clear if the brand’s sales of Naked Palettes have begun to decline, but emerging brands such as Kylie Cosmetics are able to reach comparable sales faster than ever.

Combining a complementary selection of velvety, pressed powder eyeshadows from pale nude to cool taupe and rich brown, the must-have palette allows you to create a range of looks that add subtle depth or bold definition to the eyes. Formulated with the brand's Pigment Infusion System™, each suede-like hue delivers rich colour payoff with maximum smoothness, blendability and staying power. There is excellent value for money here. I do not really use a lot of product in my eyes or build a lot of coverage (or at least, not with this palette). I have had this palette for 2 years now, and use it lightly about 3 days a week. I have only hit pan on Half-Baked, Verve, and Busted. I can easily see myself using this palette for another 2 years.Naked is successful because it’s the palette you reach for when you say goodbye to one version of yourself and hello to your new makeup self. It’s the epitome of makeup evolution right before your eyes, and as Zomnir put it so perfectly, “evolution is, as always, the key.” I did not have a lot of issues with fallout - the shades in this palette are not so pigmented that fallout is a major issue. However, on darker colours like Busted (this shades tends to crumble more than the others, probably because it is probably the most pigmented shade in the palette), you may want to apply some powder on your undereye area for safety before applying it.

When working on Naked2, we really wanted to create yet another palette that would fulfill a need, but also one that could be used with the original Naked Palette,” Zomnir notes. “So we set out to create another neutral-type shade range that was more taupe and greige centric than the original Naked Palette — but it was crucial that the new version complimented the original’s bronze-y hues.” Best Overall Neutral Eyeshadow Palette: Too Faced Born This Way The Natural Nudes Eye Shadow Palette

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

This one may boil down to personal preference, but having a variety of eyeshadow finishes will ensure you can create any look your heart desires. I, for one, am a huge fan of glitter eyeshadows but I also recognize the power of matte shades. In fact, according to Lerma, “Matte eyeshadows tend to be the most universal shades and can be used for a daily eyeshadow look and are perfect for creating a primed eye.”

At the same time, today’s younger consumer expects a greater sense of discovery and newness with beauty brands, and hero products can be a double-edged sword, Donnelly said.
