So the latest offering from Urban Decay takes on an entirely more rosy hue. The packaging is quite frankly gorgeous, and in the same style as the Naked 2 palette they have stuck with the much more practical metal tin design.
The palette includes 12 entirely new colours and they are quite frankly beautiful. There are three matt shades with the rest of the colours ranging from a subtle shimmer to a full on glitter.
The lightest shades are great for a base or highlight while the darkest shades go all the way through to a black which has a pink shimmer. A truly beautiful dark shade that never looks harsh.
This palette *I personally* think has the best colour range. While the Naked and Naked 2 palettes also have a great range the colours are not significantly different enough and the Naked Basics palette is a great combination of my favourite shades in both.
This picture (below) shows the colours in their truest form.
Another notable mention goes to the double ended brush that is included. There are no sponge applicators here, this brush has a flat pointy end which is great for packing on colour, and a more rounded densely packed end which blends the whole lot perfectly.
So how do these colours transfer into an everyday wearable look? Well here is my particular favourite.
I take the darkest shade 'Blackheart' and a MAC 231 and work the colour into the lash line to create a softer look than traditional eye liner thanks to the flecks of shimmer.
I then worked 'Dust' all across the lid and defined the outside corder and crease with 'Liar'
I have had this palette for a litre over three weeks now and it is my most reached for set. A great combination of looks available and as always it represents pretty good value at £37 for 12 Urban Decay shadows.
