I finally bit the bullet and got the Naked Palette from Urban Decay. It is one of many that a lot of people have been obsessed over and who wouldn't considering they are very flattering and wearable shades. I cannot believe I have my hands on this and that I can play around with all the beautiful colors that can create a ton of makeup looks.
Urban Decay has introduced a range of "Naked" products that essentially work with many different skin tones and that have skin like color and texture. I find that the Naked palette have really shot through the beauty industry as a staple in not only consumers, but also pro makeup artist. I use mine a lot because its very versatile and can create a very natural eye to a smokey eye very quickly. I use mine in my makeup kit as well because I find that I can create a look that everyone of my clients can love and its not intimidating when my clients see what I'm using on them.
The pigmentation of these eyeshadows are very smooth and buttery that can be easily blended on the eye. There are only two matte eyeshadows and the rest are either glittery and/or have a sheen to them. The matte shades are very pigmented and apply smooth, they are definitely great for crease work. The other colors are very pigmented and soft, they glide on very well with fingers and deposit color very well with a brush. There is a nice balance of warm and cool tones in the palette that would suit a lot of different eye color.
I have had this palette for a while now and I can tell you that it is worth the price (new price $54) and is great for those who are beginning with eyeshadow and want a palette that can offer you a variety of shades/choices that meet you preference. It is a winner in my book and it makes me excited to try other products from the Urban Decay line.
