Urban Decay NAKED Ultimate Basics Palette: Review + 10 Tutorials.

When I heard that Urban Decay was launching the new NAKED Ultimate Basics Palette I was more than excited.

I use the NAKED Basics Palette and NAKED 2 Basics Palette regularly and this one looked to be another favorite.

With 12 all-new neutral shades in Urban Decay's legendary matte formula, this palette does not disappoint and I am already obsessed with it.

The NAKED Ultimate Basics Palette features all new neutral matte shades,

12 of them, as I said, that are designed to work with all skin tones. This is the palette that you need if you are in love with neutral shades, but when I say neutral I do not mean natural. Often times those words are confused.

Yes, these shades can create natural, everyday eye looks, but the shades range from the very light like Blow to the very deep like Blackjack.

It is simple to use to create basic looks, contoured looks, and even smoky looks. It is a very versatile palette.  

The shades include:

  • Blow - light nude demi-matte
  • Nudie - soft pink-nude matte
  • Commando - light taupe-brown matte
  • Tempted - pale brown matte
  • Instinct - medium pink-taupe matte
  • Lethal  - reddish brown matte
  • Pre-Game - pale yellow matte
  • Extra Bitter - burnt orange matte
  • Faith - medium warm brown matte
  • Lockout - rich neutral brown matte
  • Magnet - smoky gray matte
  • Blackjack - warm black matte 

All of the shades come in Urban Decay's super creamy, almost velvety matte formula (except for one demi-matte shade that is perfect for highlighting).

The Urban Decay formula is easy to apply, layer and blend and it lasts throughout the day.

Of course, I suggest using an eyeshadow primer to ensure longer, crease-free shadow wear with more vibrant color.

NAKED Ultimate Basics Palette comes complete with a double-ended brush and the palette itself contains a full-size mirror.

The NAKED Ultimate Basics Palette is available now. Check the current lowest price on the NAKED Ultimate Basics Palette here.
