If you’re not one to buy a tonne of eye make up, and haven’t the patience to scour over swatches of different eye shadows and different brands to create your perfect palette, then just invest in this one! It’s been a much hyped palette for a few years now and is still ever popular, even with newer editions (Naked 2, Naked 3, and Naked Basics palettes).
Even when I wear other brands and love them, I never forget the Urban Decay Naked 1 palette - it’s my go to eye shadow that will always be in my kit and personal make up. Normally when you buy an eye shadow palette there may be only a few colours that are wearable, or, that you like all of the colours but they are usually very similar. With the Naked 1 there is a whole range of colours to create different looks. You can create a beautiful pink/ natural look to a full on smokey dark dramatic eye.
It’s priced at £37, which I find amazing value for money for 12 different shades and a mini sized sample of Urban Decays famous primer potion. A little goes a long way and really will last years. I have yet to hit pan! The only down side is, whilst double checking the price online, it seems rather difficult to find it in stock - but hunt for it ladies, it’s worth it.
The colours are all beautiful, and as you can see from the swatches, are buildable, smooth and highly pigmented. I find as long I apply a base colour first, such a MAC paint pot or any sort of base for the eye shadow to then cling on to, it does last all day and doesn’t fade or crease. I find the best way to apply is not to swirl your brush in the product but to use a flat brush and use a small rubbing motion, then pat over the eyelid. Brushing it over the lid will cause the eye shadow to flick all over your face!
Most of the colours are warm toned bronze hued neutrals, but I would say they would suit most completions (Although if you are very fair maybe take a peek at the Naked 2- these are cooler tones) My only complaint would be I wish it had one more matte colour that I could use to blend out within the crease, but that would only be me being a little greedy as I already have 12 colours to play with! Also to watch out when blending more than one colour as at times they can just blend into one if you’re not careful.
Enjoy!
