Urban Decay is known the world over for its ever-popular Naked Palette and Naked 2 Palette. I only own the original palette and just like the rest of the beauty community, I am completely in love with it!!!
This past December, Urban Decay released another addition to the Naked family: the Naked Basics Palette. This palette is described as the perfect companion to the Naked Palettes. It is also described as their "first MATTE palette." Even though the first and lightest of the shadows, isn't at all matte, I would describe this as a "mostly matte palette."
This palette comes with six full sized (0.05 g each) eyeshadows, five of which are completely matte. They are Venus ("a soft off-white, demi-matte"), Foxy ("very light yellow/white matte"), W.O.S (Walk of Shame) ("very light nude matte"), Naked 2 ("taupe matte"), Faint ("warm dusty brown matte"), and Crave ("deepest darkest brown/black matte"). It comes in very sleek, small packaging (smaller than an iPhone), and has a full sized mirror.
Urban Decay is known as one of the top eyeshadow brands out there, and I have to agree. They are very soft and buttery and extremely pigmented without being powdery. It doesn't take much product at all to get amazing color payoff and their entire range is filled with amazing colors.
The palette itself is very versatile, many very natural looks can be created (Naked 2 (or any of the darker shades really) can also be used as a brow powder, and Crave can also be used as eyeliner!!!) I agree that this palette is the perfect companion to anyone's makeup collection, but if you own the first two Naked Palettes this may not be a necessity. However, I do find myself reaching for it almost everyday.
This palette retails for $27 dollars and can be found wherever Urban Decay is sold (like Sephora or Urban Decay's website, or Macy's). This is a steal, seeing as all of the eyeshadows are full-sized, each costing about $4.50 in this palette, compared to the usual $19 Urban Decay charges for each single eyeshadow.
