Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette

I've only recently gotten very interested in makeup and before trying this palette I'd never really worn eyeshadow, I'd always just smudged a little brown liner over my lids. I am so happy I bought this! I use either Venus or Foxy as a highlighter for my brow and the inner corner of my eye, then I use the Naked2 in my crease, and use Faint as my contour shade. If I want to darken the look I use Crave very close to my lash line. I haven't used Walk of Shame yet but I'm sure I'll figure something out. All the colors are natural and pretty and I think would look great on all skin tones. While I use it for every day, it would not be hard to create a more dramatic look. The shadows are very pigmented, apply smoothly, and blend easily. I did not have a primer so I used foundation and set it with a powder, and the colors lasted all night. This is a great palette for someone new to makeup, or someone who likes very natural tones. Overall its a great palette, and I'm very happy with my purchase!

I just got this palette, and I love it. I use Naked 2 in my crease and for my eyebrows. I mix W.O.S. and Foxy on the lid, crave and faint as liner, and the white sparkly shade as highlight. The shadows are very pigmented and easy to blend. Only complaint is Ive had the palette for 6 months and use it everyday and already hit pan on Naked 2. Worth the money, will definitely repurchase. The colors stay on all day and theres no fallout.

Before I discovered UD, I used Tarte and Stila eyeshadows. Those are particularly sheer, hard to blend (only Stila is guilty of this), and not long-lasting. When I was gifted the Naked1 palette, it was kind of a major breakthrough. The shadows were sooo ridiculously pigmented, blendable, long-lasting, and smooth; I was like "Oh. Thaaat's what eyeshadow is supposed to be like". Although I loved the Naked palette, I couldn't pull off all of the shimmery colors. The matte textured shadows were beautiful, but there weren't enough to create a look (only 2). When I came across the Naked Basics palette, I knew I had to have it. The colors may not appear very exciting, but they are perfect for everyday looks and smokey looks. The quality is outstanding, and the value is insane ($29 for 6 full size shadows; cheaper than buying 2 shadows individually). It also makes a great complement to the original Naked palette, and it's great for travel. In summary, I completely recommend this palette. I would purchase it again in a heartbeat, and I can't live without it. I hope next year brings the Naked3 Basics, because rosy-toned shadows really compliment my features. Bottom Line- For versatility, high quality, and amazing value; you need this in your life!! I definitely recommend this, and will be buying back-ups myself

I have had this palette for YEARS and it is honestly the best -- only palette I have hit pan on. Takes <2 minutes to do a daily look. Pigmented, lasts all day without primer, blends beautifully... However, if you're not fair, the shade range might not be very useful for you. My skin is quite light so Venus, Foxy, WOS, and Naked2 all serve different functions for me. I love a matte eye look (I have hooded eyes) and prefer to go crazy with eyeliner and/or lipstick as oppose to eyeshadow, so this palette inevitably gets the most use of the ones I own. I use WOS on the lid and Naked 2 in the crease for a daily look. Sometimes Venus in the inner corner. For added drama I use Faint in the crease and Crave in the outer corner and/or smudged along the top lash line. Can also apply Venus overtop WOS on the lid for more drama. Foxy I use the least, really more as a setting powder in a pinch. If the pans were larger Naked 2 would be my perfect contour shade *sigh*

I have two sets of these palettes. One I purchased and one given to me at a UD party. (Which was very generous of them) the colors a great but the shadow itself is terrible. The consistency is way way too powdery. It makes such a mess on my face and on the counter. It does not blend well nor does it stay on. I have their individual eyeshadows and they work great. Not sure what has gone wrong here. Chucking in the garbage. UD should fix this problem.
