This palette is another edition of Urban Decay's Naked series. I didn't think I needed it although almost all the reviews I read were raving about it. The swatches looked either too light or too dark for my everyday look. However, it seemed like a great size for travelling and I love the idea to have all the eyeshadows I need for a look in a compact palette. Ulta was having a sale so I decided to give it a go.
Venus is the only shimmery shade in this palette. Although it's the least pigmented shade among all, it still has okay pigmentation. It's not chalky at all. If you'd like it to be more opaque, just dab it on the lids with a dense eyeshadow brush.
Foxy and W.O.S (Walk Of Shame) can be used for blending or as a base to even out the complexion. On my NC 20 skin they don't show up much. Foxy is yellow tone and W.O.S is pink tone. They can be used for setting under-eye concealers for certain complexions.
Naked 2 is just a bit darker than my complexion. If I want to blend out my crease shadow I would use this. It could be a natural crease shade for very fair skin.
Faint is much darker than Naked 2. It's a neutral brown, which I find much more natural than those red-tone browns. It may have a hint of gray but it's by no means a taupe. I use it for my crease. It's very creamy and easy to blend out so I normally don't need a lighter shade to blend the edges.
Crave is a dark charcoal. Although it's the most chalky of all shades, it's still easy to apply. It can be sheered out to a dark gray for a smokey eye look or packed on as eyeliners.
Of all the shades I use Faint the most. It's perfect for a minimal makeup look on the crease with some mascara. I use Crave mainly as eyeliners. Sometimes I would use Venus on my lids to brighten the eyes. I don't really use Foxy and W.O.S as they don't really show up on my complexion. I only use Naked 2 occasionally for blending out eyeshadows.
Normally there's really not much to talk about the packaging, but I have to say that the mirror in this palette is the perfect size for applying eye makeup. Not too big and not overly magnified.
In terms of the lasting power, they perform pretty well. My mascara normally smudges or transfers before there's any creasing from the eyeshadows.
I've been using this palette 80% of the times for the past 2 months since I got it. Even though I only use 3 out of 6 shades consistently, I definitely still see this as a stable in my makeup stash because of how compact and convenient this is and how creamy the formula is, which makes it really easy to blend. It's also nice to have the other 3 shades in the palette just for those moments that you need something to fix your makeup. I would highly recommend this product if you're looking for a good quality, easy to use, and convenient eyeshadow palette.
