Recently, Urban Decay launched a new Naked palette. This palette is centered around rose toned colors that are quite gorgeous. Included in this palette are 12 full sized eye shadows, 2 of which are matte, a double ended brush, and about a week's worth of samples of all 4 of their primer potions. I have actually put the samples into contact lens cases, and it has made each sample last more than a week, but then again, I don't use much at a time(insert less is more speech here). The case, just like Naked 2, is a tin type of case, in a rose gold hue, with Naked 3 and Urban Decay embossed in gold in it. Unlike the Naked 2 palette, there are waves in the tin giving it a nice, kind of 3-D effect. The inside is exactly like the Naked 2 palette, large mirror covering the entire top lid of the case, the 12 eye shadows encased in plastic that has a cubby hole type thing for the brush. I have recently discovered(for lack of trying) that the double ended eye liners fit into that cubby as well. This is great for keeping the corresponding eye liners with their designated palettes.
Strange is a pale neutral pink that is almost white. It is described as a matte satin and it couldn't be more right. This is a great highlight color with all these shimmery shades. Dust is a light-medium pink with white and gold micro-glitter. This shadow is true to it's name. It is very dusty and has a lot of fallout due to the micro-glitter. This is not one of my favorite shades at all. Burnout is a medium rose peach with a pearl finish. Unlike Dust, it is a soft, buttery shade with not a hint of fallout for me. This is one of my favorite shades in this palette.
Limit is a matte medium pink with a touch of mauve. This shade has good pigmentation, and is pretty smooth and only very slightly powdery. Buzz is a warm coppery rose with a frosty metallic sheen. Great color payoff and no fallout that I have experienced. Trick is a medium pinky-copper with gold sparkles over a frosty finish. This one, despite it being glittery, didn't have very much fallout.
Nooner is a matte medium-dark rosy plumish brown shade. This is a great color, very soft and blendable and only slightly powdery, you can hardly even tell. Liar is a medium brown with a slight pinky metallic frosted finish to it. Factory is a medium-brown with reddish undertones with a shimmery pearl finish. This is a very soft blendable color. All of these are great crease colors or a good lid color for a nighttime look.
Mugshot is a medium-dark taupe with a frosted finish. This has excellent color payoff. Darkside is a purple taupe with a pearlized finish. This is a great shade, soft and buttery and perfect for defining the crease. Blackheart is a deep black matteish color with gorgeous red sparkle to it. I obviously did not include this in my matte shades as it is not completely matte. This is my absolute all time favorite color in this palette, it is just so pretty. There isn't much fallout in this shadow which was quite surprising.
All in all, this is a great palette. It is not like the other palettes, where if you have one, you don't necessarily need the others as this is a pinkier, rose toned palette rather than a straight neutral palette.
The eye liner that matches this one is basically two eye shadow colors turned into eye liner. Blackheart is just like it's matching eye shadow, a deep matte black with red glitter. This doesn't come off very well in just one layer, but when you build it to two or three layers it turns out like the eye shadow. Darkside, like it's corresponding eye shadow, is a purple taupe with a pearlized finish. This one, like Blackheart, needs to be put on with two or three layers to get a more opaque true to color shade. Just like the other UD eye pencils, they stay on for quite awhile and are really soft and creamy.
