Hello beautiful people! I'm here with my review on the gorgeous Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay! I got this as a birthday present for my 18th birthday and I'm in love with it. It's one of those palettes that I've always had my eye on when looking in the shops.
I already own the Smoked palette which is also by Urban Decay so I am familiar with how pigmented and creamy their eyeshadows are!
The eyeshadows in this palette are stunning. I love how this pallete is taupe centric and allows you to create many different looks, ranging from lovely neutral eyes to very dark, sexy smokey eyes.
The formula of the shadows are so creamy which makes them very easy to blend. This is essential when creating a smokey eye - you want the colours to blend seamlessly together and I think anybody, professional or not, would find the shadows in this palette very easy to use to create gorgeous looks!
This palette does retail at £37 which is expensive, but when you think about the quality of the products your getting I think it is very reasonable - this palette will last you a very long time as you get 1.3 grams of product in each pan and they are very versatile shades.
There is a full size mirror in the palette making it portable and very handy...
The case is a hard tin exterior with a click/ snap closure. You do get a high quality blending brush from Urban Decay in this palette which contributes to the retail price . . I do not think this is a bad brush to have in your kit as it does a good job of applying the shades and blending- way better than those mini sponge applicators you usually get with palettes!
I have swatched the shades for you and they have come up very true to colour, you can see just how pigmented these really are. The only negative thing I have to say about this palette is that there are only three matte shades and the rest are shimmer / glitter shades . Nevertheless , this does not stop me loving it!
Foxy -cream bisque matte -
Half Baked -golden bronze shimmer
Bootycall -cork shimmer
Chopper -copper shimmer /silver micro-glitter
Tease -creamy pale brown matte
Snakebite -dark bronze shimmer
Suspect -pale golden beige shimmer
Pistol -light grayish brown shimmer
Verve -oyster shimmer
YDK -cool bronze shimmer
Busted -deep brown shimmer
Blackout -blackest black matte
That is the list of all the shades in the palette ; my favourite shades are chopper , half baked , tease and blackout . Tease is a taupe/ brown that is perfect for the crease and blackout is honestly the most pigmented matte black I've ever worked with so far! I have Carbon from Mac which used to be my favourite matte black but Blackout puts Carbon to shame ! Everyone needs a fab matte black in their collection and if you don't have one you love I recommend getting this one!
I hope you all loved this review on the Naked 2 palette. I really would recommend this palette to everyone as it has some very unique shades . If your a fan of shimmer and glitter this palette is made for you! If you haven't got this already it should be your No.1 On your Christmas list!
I'd love to hear your opinions on this palette and any other palettes you have and love ! I may have to invest in the Naked 3 after falling inlove with this one so any opinions on that would be much appreciated ! Xxx
