When I thought I had all the Urban Decay eyeshadow I'd need for a while Urban Decay came out with the naked palette! I chose Naked over Naked 2 because I just like the shade selection better.Yes, you can tell in these photos that I used the shadows. You really didn't expect me to wait to use it, did you? You also may be thinking, "Why bother? Everyone has seen the Naked palette already." Very true, but I just wanted to be able to write about it because I'm so excited to have it!
The palette came with a Good Karma Shadow Brush and a mini Eyeshadow Primer Potion (the old packaging). I LOVE THIS BRUSH. The bristles are extremely soft. I haven't yet invested in a good set of brushes (I know, I know, I really should), but now I'm definitely swayed toward purchasing some from the Good Karma line. My only complaint about the brush is that sometimes the less-pigmented shadows don't have as much payoff; for those I prefer to use my finger to just smudge it onto my lids.
I haven't swatched the individual shadows yet, but I plan to. The palette comes with: Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, and Gunmetal. My hands-down favorite shade is Half Baked because I love gold and glittery. I'm also loving Gunmetal and Creep, both of which I wasn't quite sure I would like to begin with.
Bottom Line: If you love neutrals like me, I would recommend investing in this palette. It's a bit pricey ($50), but worth the splurge if you can afford it. The shades, as a whole, have good color payoff, so you won't need to use a lot. The brush and primer potion are added bonuses, which I think helps to add to the value. There is also a decent mix of shimmers and mattes, so you can play with texture as well as color.
I have up-close photos of the palette and swatches behind the cut.
