Urban Decay Naked Basics Review

Every color that I need when going to work, church, school, mall, parties and meet friends. I can make a good smokey eye in this palette. You can bring it with your lipt tint and blush in a small pouch, if you need few touch ups.. It is quite expensive for a small palette but still worth it!! That small one.. it lasts long for me...

I have used this palette for years and I absolutely love it. It is my go to palette when I need something quick, reliable and natural.

Colours have great payoff, last all day and are very easy to blend. I find that going for a natural look is best with this palette I have even just used this just to create a bit of dimension on the outer corner instead of wearing a full eye.

I received this as a gift a few years ago and initially thought it was SO BORING. But I quickly realised that this is the most useful palette in my collection. I use every single shade all the time! I use the two brown shades in my crease and on my eyebrows, and the black is super pigmented so it makes a great eyeliner. The two light neutrals are good for setting eye primer or blending out a crease colour. And the cream shade has a slight shimmer to it so it's a lovely browbone/inner corner highlight. So many palettes these days are all colourful so this palette is the one I reach for when I need some neutrals to tie my look together. The quality of all the shades is lovely, they are all smooth and blendable. I've had mine for almost 4 years and it still performs the same as when I first got it. Would 100% recommend as a makeup bag staple (it'll fit in there, it's really small!)

I got given this little palette from a friend for my birthday, it was my first urban decay product! It is perfect for traveling or when you want a very simple eye look. My favourite shade would be the fourth one, it’s amazing for when I just wanna swipe a normal colour across the lid for every day life. I’ve had this for quite sometime now and it looks like I have hardly used it. For 6 shades it’s definitely pricey. Would I buy this my self after been given this as a gift? No probably not as I only really use 3 of the shades but I do really like the eyeshadows just don’t think I’d like to pay that price. Have recommended this to my mum and other friends already.

I've owned this palette for a few years now and it continues to be one of my go-to palettes, especially when travelling and weekends away. I love a neutral simple eye, especially for work or day time and this has all the perfect colours for that as well as a darker colour to amp things up for a darker evening look if need be and a colour light enough to use as an inner corner and brow highlight. These shadows blend really well and I've never had any issues with fall out etc. The generous size mirror in this is also handy.

This palette is the perfect travel palette for everyday makeup - the mattes are beautiful and silky, and they don't appear too 'flat' on your eyes. Highly pigmented and blendable, and the generous sized mirror means it's great for on the go - if I go away for the weekend I will just take this. Some of the shades can also double as eyeliner or brow powder. It's also a perfect match for the Naked 2 palette which is completely shimmery. Well worth the money, especially if you can purchase overseas like I did!

This is an ideal 'go to' palette for everyone - it lends itself perfectly to everything from barely there natural looks to daily glam right through to bold and smokey.

It's compact and portable, so an easy option to slip into your travel case, but has a great range of colours for its size. There's a lightly shimmery highlight, a few light to mid colours perfect for the browbone and lid, a darker mid-brown for smokey looks and crease accentuation, and a rich sultry black if you want added drama and/or use powder for eyeliner like I do!

The colours are highly pigmented and despite most of them being ultra matte they're silky smooth and easy to blend.

It can have a little fallout if you're working quickly or with a lot of product, though, so do be prepared to give your undereye are a quick once over afterwards.

I got this as a gift, and I absolutely love it! Amazing pigment and wearability of all the colours, and Urban Decay is vegan! Easy to travel with due to small size, and the shadows all blend really easily.

Definitely one of my top three palettes (my top three are all from this brand!).

It's such a nice change from the larger palettes, and makes for a great staple in your beauty bag. I love that the shadows can work well for everyday but you can work with it for a smoky eye for a night out.

The case is smaller than my hand and slim so fits easily in my make-up bag and has a velvet like feel to the case, but opening and closing it can be a bit of a pain. The latch area is quite small so it's easy to slip your fingers when opening. I ended up losing it out of my hand and the dark shadow smashed to bits on my white bathmat (total pain to wash up but I digress!) But aside from that, it's a perfect palette to have in your mix.

The shadows are buttery soft and all matte as advertised, though I find the lightest shade, Venus, to have some sheen to it (but I'm not complaining). It's a perfect highlight on my inner corner of my eyes.

The shade WOS (pinky nude) is hands down my favourite eye shadow colour. I have fair skin and it's the perfect base colour to sweep on my eyelid, and for such a light shade it has amazing pigmentation and hides the veins on my eyelids!

Highly recommend this palette!
