Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Eyeshadow Palette, 6 Blendable Matte Nudes Shades for Natural Looks, Compact Size Ideal for Travel, 7.8g

Product Information

Half Baked is a coppery brown with a golden shimmer-sheen. It’s very frosty but has good color payoff and a smooth texture. It’s part of the permanent range and is also in the Naked 1 palette. This shade is similar to a whole slew of others: theBalm Manic Maribel, Bare Escentuals Louder, MAC Amber Lights, theBalm Meep Meep, and Inglot #405 (and there are probably more). answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but The brush that comes with the palette is not bad, but I would say that the flatter brush is not always precise enough for more clearly defined looks. I use the brush mostly for creating smoky looks, or when I contour areas of my face that need a brush that is smaller than a regular contour brush. I wanted to love this. I wanted to love it *so much*. I'd heard sooo much about Naked (original) but it just looked too warm for my skin (though I do have a slight yellow-leaning tone, most warm shades look awful on me!). Naked2 seemed ideal, with it's "greige" (aka grey-beige) and taupe shades - right up my alley, I thought!

We hope this post has helped guide you toward some more affordable yet high-quality eyeshadow palettes to help get you on the way to amazingly beautiful eye makeup looks. We also hope we helped you find the Urban Decay Naked palette dupe of your dreams!The quality sure is there; I could immediately see what people are so crazy for UD shadows! You need the lightest hand for the shadows as they're so pigmented. They feel creamy to apply and only the most glittery shadows have much fallout. Verve is a pale beige-gray with a pink tinge. This was in the Rollergirl palette. It doesn’t have a dupe or similar shade in the Naked 1 palette. NARS Grand Palais is several shades darker, while Wet ‘n’ Wild Comfort Zone is more golden and gray (less pink). Urban Decay Ruthless is more beige. Branded as “lemon” instead of “honey”, we find this Wishwin palette a perfect dupe for Naked Honey any day. Featuring a blend of warm browns, muted tans, bright yellows and glittering golds, these colors can help you create a unique and beautiful look at a fraction of the original Naked Honey price.

This Cherry Palette with a wild cherry color selection is as unique as it is fun and flirty. Reviewers love how beautifully the colors apply and that it lasts a few good hours after application. Did you know, the Cherry Eyeshadow Palette is even scented with cherry! Offering 12 highly pigmented shades, this Luxaza palette stands up to the opposition providing the warm and darker tones that the original offered while spicing things up a bit with more colorful glittery options like the Reloaded version does. This is key to how the new Naked Cherry palette was created — all thanks to the constant shifts in the makeup social media world. “I always screenshot looks I like and keep them in an album,” says Zomnir. “I noticed that so many of my favorite eyeshadow looks featured ink and berry tones, done in a neutral way. So we decided to create a new Naked palette inspired by these shades, and when we saw them all together, the name ‘Cherry’ was obvious!”To conclude, although the Urban Decay Naked palettes have been go-to eyeshadows for makeup buffs everywhere, sometimes it is nice to be able to save some extra cash and get virtually the same color selection and performance for a fraction of the price. It wasn’t until Naked2, Naked3 and the other color-centric Naked versions came out, however, that the Naked franchise redefined the eyeshadow family as a whole. It also raised the eyebrows of color-lovers everywhere — Urban Decay’s definition of neutral was expanding. Has the Naked Heat palette gotten you captivated? Those popping reds, oranges and warm browns can be duplicated with Vodisa’s own eyeshadow palette. Featuring many mattes and several glittery gold, orange and red tones, this fiery palette gives Urban Decay a run for its money. When working on Naked2, we really wanted to create yet another palette that would fulfill a need, but also one that could be used with the original Naked Palette,” Zomnir notes. “So we set out to create another neutral-type shade range that was more taupe and greige centric than the original Naked Palette — but it was crucial that the new version complimented the original’s bronze-y hues.” FeelUnique Harvey Nichols (UK) House of Fraser (UK) John Lewis (UK) LookFantastic Selfridges Sephora (BR) Sephora (FR) Sephora (PL) Urban Decay (CA)

After the success of Naked Original, Naked2 and Naked3, Zomnir pushed the boundaries of what we define as ‘naked’ with Naked Smoky, Naked Heat and eventually Naked Cherry. Inspired by the ever-changing makeup world around her, it was important that the Naked eyeshadow palettes kept up. “I believe that nude shades evolve,” she notes. “The ‘naked’ shades of yesterday will be different from what we will want to wear tomorrow.” But all the Naked palette drama had us thinking about where it all started. So to uncover more about the origin of the Naked Palettes and their evolution, we sat down with Urban Decay mastermind, founder and Chief Creative Officer Wende Zomnir for a little Naked Palette History 101. Here’s what we learned. Suspect is a soft champagne-bronze with a frosted, metallic sheen. It has good color payoff but felt a touch powdery. theBalm Schitzo is more golden and smoother. Sidecar (from Naked 1) is just pinker. Busted is a burgundy-tinted, deep brown with warm, golden undertones. It has a soft, frosted finish. The color payoff was good and the texture smooth, though a little less dense than other shades. It’s almost the same as Hustle from Naked 1. MAC Midnight Flurry is a bit more burgundy. theBalm Mahna Mahna is more intense, more red-toned. Wet ‘n’ Wild Comfort Zone is darker, as is MAC Smut. Fittingly, Urban Decay has released what can only be called an obituary for its beloved palette, which has won both Allure Best of Beauty and Readers' Choice awards. "Today, the beauty world mourns Urban Decay’s beloved Naked Palette, the product that revolutionized neutral eyeshadows," the statement reads. "A little bit naughty, often dramatic, and always in the press, the innovative game-changer and category creator will be laid to rest after eight years, without a smudge of regret. Passionate Naked collectors — and pretty much anyone with eyes — will remember Naked as the beauty product that changed their lids forever. It was beautiful and mythical and millions of superfans, from misfits to moms to models, will miss Naked from Virgin to Gunmetal."

Not only does it apply practically the same, but it also has been said to blend more effectively than Urban Decay, according to some reviewers. The Urban Decay Naked Ultraviolet comes with standard warm browns and beiges and then gradually transitions into loud, glittery and electric hues of blues and purples making it easy to brighten and highlight eyes in a not-so-subtle format that will have heads turning. And while not all of the aforementioned products will perform as well as Urban Decay, there are quite a few whose buyers said that some of these dupes perform even better.
