NAKED 2 URBAN DECAY REVIEW

I know, I know little later better late then never. At first I was going to skip out on this palette. But me being the sucker that I am I couldn't help but get it. I am such aa Urban Decay fan I own almost every single pattle ever since I had gotten into youtube. I just cant help myself but that another story. Anyway being that I had some extra cash in my paypal account from my Eabates rewards I decided to spend it on this palette. As you guys know this is the sequal to the Naked palette but this is more cool tone.



I enjoys a lovely selection of nudes and this palette of course, brings exactly that to the table. This time around Urban Decay packages not only 12 shades of fantastic traditional browns, bronzes, nudes, and naturals but also some outstanding taupes and grieges. Some people have dubbed it a “cooler” version of the original Naked but for me it’s all about warm, rich hues of gorgeous.
The 24/7 Eyeliner that was originally launched with Naked has been replaced as you know with a brush and Naked 2 also includes a brush I find the brush extra helpful. One side has a nice blending brush and the other a flat head which can double up as a liner brush and a regular shadow brush for packing color onto lid.



Further change is on the horizon here with a new snap close tin compact that the shadows and brush come housed in. The original Naked Palette came in a velvet lined box. Pretty yes, practical no  besides after a while the lettering on the package starts to dissappear.This new compact snaps tightly closed and will take a jostle or two in your tote without worries about it flipping open and breaking the contents inside. I love the new packaging but it does take a little jiggle and wiggle to get it open.


I’m sure it’s boiling down to do you really need Naked 2 if you already own the original Naked Palette? I’d like to think so. It’s an outstanding selection of color at a very small price. I don’t think the shades are necessarily dupes to what you might already have in the original palette. These colors are a little less vibrant, a little less rich, and a little less warmer than the original but they still all pack a mighty punch and will create some outstanding looks.


I think the palette is not only a value but a very nice line up of colors. I’d suggest hauling it if you love colors like these or just generally like Urban Decay’s shadow formula. This is also an incredible introduction to the brand so if you’ve never tried anything from their line before this is a perfect place to start.
