UD Naked Palette Look

As promised, I'm posting a look using the Urban Decay Naked Palette. I know I am being too repetitive but I just can't say enough about how I'm totally and helplessly in love with this baby. You can read my glowing review here.

I am going to show you two looks using  this palette. One is a simple neutral eye with a pop of gold which is appropriate for daytime wear and a more dramatic look that is more suited for a night-time gathering. I used SIN, TOASTED and HUSTLE for both looks. I added VIRGIN to the daytime look while I used CREEP to create a semi cat-eye look that is fun and glamorous, yet still very subtle and wearable.

Here's the breakdown of what I used for the daytime look:

SIN(inner eyelid)

TOASTED(outer eyelid)

HUSTLE(crease and outer lower lid)

VIRGIN( inner corner of the eye, inner lower lid & highlight)

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on eye pencil in Eldorado(upper lashline)

MUFE Aqua liner in 23L (waterline)

Bourjois Khol & Contour (tightline)

MAXfactor 2000 Calorie Mascara

The first three pics are taken with flash...

And here's what I used for the Evening Look:

SIN(inner eyelid, lower inner lid)

TOASTED(outer eyelid)
HUSTLE(crease)
CREEP(outer V/semi cat-eye, lower outer lid)
NAKED(highlight)
VIRGIN(only under the arch of the brow)
ELF liquidliner in black
MUFE Aqua liner in 23L (waterline)

Bourjois Khol & Contour (tightline)
MAXfactor 2000 Calorie Mascara

Urban Decay Naked Palette: Are you bold enough to handle it?

 

Probably one of the most popular palettes released by Urban Decay and a much coveted one by make-up lovers all over the world, the Naked Palette is one interesting item that a make-up junkie like me surely couldn't resist. It's been on the top-seller's list ever since its release and was always out of stock during its first few months in the market. This palette features 12 full size eyeshadows including neutral, shimmery and metallic colors. A full-size vegan shader brush and a travel size of the famous UDPP(Primer Potion) are also included in the palette.

Let's look at this beauty closely. The box is covered in a gorgeous brown velvety material and NAKED is embossed in golden letters. It definitely looks very elegant. The material of the box is not plastic. It's made of cardboard and sturdy paper materials so it's not at all flimsy and could definitely stand a fall and you can carry it with you when you travel without any fear. I have one gripe about the outer packaging though, it's a dirt magnet! To keep it looking clean and in  pristine condition, I always put it inside a ziplock bag but that doesn't stop all the dirt and lints from sticking to it.

The box is not at all big, it reminds me of a pencil box I used to have lonnnnggg ago. When you flip the top cover you will see a mirror which is really handy. There's a magnet which keeps the flip tightly in place.

And now let's discuss the gems inside the box. As I've mentioned earlier, there are 12 full size eyeshadows in this palette, which is truly a great value for your money. Here they are:

1) Virgin-a frosted beige color
2) Sin-a beautitul light, shimmery champagne shadow
3) Naked- a matte light brown color
4) Sidecar-a frosty brownish-pink color with lots of shimmer
5) Buck-a matte dark brown color, technically just the darker version of naked
6) Half-baked- a subtle, lustrous bronze shadow
7) Smog- deep coppery bronze
8) Darkhorse- darkened deep chocolate brown with shimmer
9) Toasted- a shimmery, dark pinky brown
10) Hustle-dark plummy chocolate brown with a bit of sheen
11) Creep- a grayish-black with tiny silver flecks
12) Gunmetal- a blue gray metallic color that is really gorgeous

Urban Decay has absolutely hit all the right notes with the Naked Palette. It has very wearable eyeshadows from a fresh daytime look to a sultry neutral smoky eye for a night-out. The formula is top-notch. Each shade has buttery texture and is very easy to blend. There is no glitter bomb on the shimmery eyeshadows and no disco sparkle too. This beauty is definitely a jewel in my collection.

Unfortunately, Urban Decay is not yet available in KSA:((. But you can get it online for $48+shipping fees. It's also available at Sephora outlets in Dubai for 220aed.
