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
This is an amazing palette to start out with. For beginners it has all of the ideal shades for your everyday eyelook.
