First Off - Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette
It is here! And it is gorgeous!
I first got really into the Naked line when Naked 3 was announced. I then picked up the first two to see if they really did live up to the hype. (Spoiler: They did.)
I have been excited about this palette since it was announced. Dark, smoky eyes are some of my favourites to do. They are a lot more fun to play around with and I love palettes that are designed specifically for that.
And without further ado... Here are the swatches!
(First of all, I do greatly apologize for my awful swatches. I will do better next time.)
The colors are as follows...
- High is a champagne micro-glitter.
- Dirtysweet is a shimmery bronze.
- Radar is a bronzey brown with micro-glitter.
- Armor is a silver taupe with micro-glitter.
- Slanter is a shimmery grey.
- Dagger is a dark grey with a little bit of micro-glitter.
- Black Market is a black satin.
- Smolder is a dark purple taupe.
- Password is a cool taupe matte.
- Whiskey is a milk chocolate brown
- Combust is a soft peachy beige
- Thirteen is a white satin.
Another things to note is the packaging. For the last two Naked palettes, the packaging was more or less the same. But for this one, they changed it up. The case for this is a semi-transparent plastic case decorated with a smoky pattern and has a magnetic close.
I love magnetic closes and the packaging suits the theme of the product. However, in person, the case gives me a kind of old lady vibe. But don't judge a book by it's cover. The eyeshadows are stunning and Urban Decay's product quality never fails to impress.
This palette also includes a dual ended brush. I love Urban Decay's brushes! And I love that they include actual, quality brushes in with their palettes. It's another thing that makes the seemingly high price point absolutely worth it.
If smoky looks are your thing, I would definitely check this guy out. But if you are more into the lighter side of Naked, any of the previous palettes are probably more up your alley. I, for one, am really excited to get to play around with this and share some looks with you!
