Urban Decay Naked Smoky

 This palette gives me everything except smokey when I look at the colors. It gives me a neutral vibe and so with that being said. I struggle to find a occasion to wear any of these colors. The colors in this palette are not uniform or cohesive with each other to bring a eye look together. The formulas in this palette are satin, metallic and matte, which is confusing on it's own because sometimes a metallic matte eye look can be difficult to pull off especially if you are new to makeup or not an expert on proper application. But don't fret! Urban Decay included a look book and a double ended eye shadow brush! Yay! So that settles that issue. So now on to the details, you get 12 eye shadows that are 1.3grams, 0.05 oz. The palette itself has a magnetic closure and is made of a sturdy plastic with a nice sized mirror. I like this palette over all, and the pigmentation and longevity of these shadows don't disappoint. $54.00 +Urban Decay Cosmetics 

 Recommendations: For deeper skin tones, apply a light color eye shadow base to eyelids instead of an eyelid primer for more color pay off.

Shown below without a primer. These eye shadows are velvety smooth and opaque, and the packaging is nice and sturdy I like the eyeshadow brush and it is soft but I do not see any real use for it. It would have been nice to have a eyeliner pencil instead. Still luvs it thou.

Urban Decay Naked Basics

What it does:
The long-awaited, multipurpose MATTE companion to Naked is the palette everyone needs in their beauty arsenal. With six versatile and extremely wearable Naked shades, it has everything you need for the perfect neutral matte eye—including four totally new and exclusive shades. It all comes in a sleek compact embossed with a pretty, metallic NAKED on the front that has a slight sheen and suede-like feel that begs to be touched. Best of all, the slim design is perfect for travel, so you’ll never have to be without these must-have shades

This set contains:
- 6 x 0.05 oz eye shadows in Venus (soft, off-white demi-matte), Foxy (very light yellow/white matte), Walk of Shame (very light nude matte), Naked2 (taupe matte), Faint (warm, dusty brown matte) and Crave (deepest, darkest brown/black matte).

What else you need to know:
Each eye shadow features Urban Decay’s brand new Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients that gives every shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power, and blendability.

 Venus, Foxy, Walk Of Shame, Naked 2, Faint, Crave

  Venus, Foxy, Walk Of Shame, Naked 2, Faint, Crave

Venus, Foxy, Walk Of Shame

Naked2, Faint, Crave

This palette is very nice, the eyeshadow quality is very rich, soft and pigmented. 

I am a dark skin woman and I can confidently wear these colors without them looking ashy. My I love Naked 2, Faint and Crave, for a nude smokey eye. Venus, Foxy, & Walk Of Shame are nice lid colors, and could be great highlights for fair to tan skin. All shadows are matte with the exception of Venus which is a frost satin. These are full sized shadows however the cost of $27.00 is a bit steep. If you have either of the Naked 1 or 2 palettes I would skip on this, unless you just want the palette for your collection. But most of these colors are dupes.
