Urban Decay Naked2 Palette Swatches and Review

Today I welcomed the Urban Decay Naked2 palette into my collection!

Urban Decay Naked2 Palette: Front, Slightly Open

 The palette is in a really lovely metal case, which reminds me of an artists pencil case. It is a nice heavy weight metal and is really sturdy feeling. The lid of the palette snaps into the bottom so you don't have to worry about the palette coming open if you are going to travel with it.

 This palette also came with an extra, the Urban Decay Lip Junkie in the color Naked! It's a nice creamy gloss that has a minty smell and taste. It's a nice pinkish nude with subtle shimmer. I think this is a good shade to have included with this palette because it is a neutral and I think it would be flattering on a wide range of skin tones.

 The palette consists of 12 full size Urban Decay eye shadows, with a dual-ended brush. There are 3 matte shades (Foxy, Tease, Blackout) and 9 shimmer shades. They area great collection of cool based neutrals, focusing on taupes, browns and more grey based taupes. The shadows are highly pigmented and incredibly soft and velvety. Each shadow gives great color pay off and is easy to blend and build up.

 Bootycall looks like a matte shade in these pictures, but it actually has subtle shimmer in it.

Without owning the original Naked Palette it is really hard for me to compare them, but if it is anything like this palette then I will be purchasing that one as well! I do know that the Naked2 palette is cooler toned (taupes/greyed out browns), and the original Naked palette is supposed to be warmer based colors (think more bronzy/pinky browns.) The quality of these shadows is wonderful and they are a great group of colors to have for everyday wear, but could also be used to create a beautiful smokey eye as well.

Overall thoughts: I think this palette is a great buy for anyone looking to start their collection, or anyone looking for a nice set of neutral colors.

The Naked2 Palette can be purchased at Ulta, Sephora, UrbanDecay.com and other retailers that carry Urban Decay cosmetics.
