Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette: Review, Swatches, and Photos

Tweet

 

Ever since Urban Decay released the very first Naked, it seems like there has been so much craze in the makeup world with getting naked.  I am certainly no exception.  I have given into purchasing Naked 1, Naked 2, Naked like palettes from other brands, and the newest Naked edition: Naked Basics.

Let me first start off by saying Naked Basics is very dupable.  If you have the other Naked palettes or similar Naked-like palettes you definitely do not need this.  But, there are definitely reasons I opted to buy this:

• It's super compact and will fit in the palm of your hand.
• It contains everyday shades in one palette.
• The price is great for being an Urban Decay product ($27; $4.20/per shadow).

• Venus is a satin bone color.  It is similar to Urban Decay Bootycall, NYX Sahara, MAC Shroom, Wet n Wild Walking On Eggshells (Browbone).
• Foxy is a matte bone color with yellow undertones.  This is also into the Naked 2 palette.  It is similar to MAC Brule, Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral (#2).
• Walk of Shame is a nude with pink undertones.  It is similar to Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral (#3), Meet Matt(e) (Matt Smith).
• Naked 2 is a mauve matte.  It is similar to Revlon Addictive Palette (Top Left), Urban Decay Buck.
• Faint is a medium brown-gray matte.  It is similar to Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral (#9), Meet Matt(e) (Matt Gallagher), Urban Decay Tease.
• Crave is a black matte.  It is similar to Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral (#12), Urban Decay Blackout, Wet n Wild Blue Had Me At Hello (Left Definer), Wet n Wild Drinking A Glass of Shine (Left Definer).
