Urban Decay Naked 2 Review

The original Naked palette included 12 warm neutral toned eye shadows. They were all great shadows but I personally felt they were too warm for my cool skin tone. I was really excited when I saw swatches of the new Naked 2 palette that was soon to be released. All of the colors looked a lot cooler with velvety smooth taupes, browns, and silvers. After receiving the palette and having a chance to wear them I agree. They are much cooler colors and I like!

All of the colors are great in both palettes but I much prefer Naked 2 because of my skin tone. I don't think you would need both palettes but if you are looking for a great palette to use for every day then I think one of these palettes would be a great choice.

I also received a sample size of Urban Decay's Lip Junkie lip gloss in Naked. It is a vanilla mint tasting lip gloss with high shine and no stickiness. Great little addition to my purchase.   The Naked 2 palette also comes with a dual ended brush that has been great for applying my eye colors from Urban Decay.

Take a look at the swatches below of all 12 colors on my arm.

The colors included are from left to right:

• Foxy – highlight shade - matte creamy vanilla color
• Half Baked – was also in the original Naked palette – coppery shimmer color
• Booty Call – highlight shade – shimmer vanilla color
• Chopper – darker copper shimmery color
• Tease – matte plum color
• Snakebite – shimmery brown color
• Suspect – shimmery light brown or campaign color
• Pistol – shimmery metal color
• Verve –another light campaign color
• YDK – another very shimmery copper color
• Busted – dark shimmery color with a plum undertone
• Blackout – black matte color

A lot of these colors are very similar yet have just enough different shade to them to make you want all of them. The original Naked palette also had Half Baked in it. That is the only carry over from the original palette.

The Foxy color I can do without. It does not have enough pigment to show very much on the eye. It does not show up much at all on my eye.

My favorites are Busted, Verve, Pistol, Suspect, Booty Call, and YDK. I have tried looks with all of the colors but keep coming back to those colors. The texture of the shadow is great. The brush that comes with the palette is also pretty good for a free brush. I have applied all of my colors with this brush so far. The colors stay on all day. I use a primer of course so I would suggest you do the same if you want any eye shadow to last. Having said that, they go all day with the same shimmer they had when I applied them.

There are far more shimmery colors in this palette than mattes. I like that since I am a sparkle barbie kind of girl anyway. So make sure you like sparkles if you get this palette.
