Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette Review


I have many a neutral palette, big ones, smallish ones, cheap ones, expensive ones, I wear neutrals all the time and I have an army of beige and browns in my MAC palettes. When Urban Decay released this handy little travel size neutral palette I took a step back, money in hand. So many questions I needed to ask myself, do I really need another neutral palette? Do I need one that small? Do I just want to buy it because its part of the Naked range and I'm like a Pokemon trainer when it comes to Naked palettes, I gotta catch em all? 

I avoided parting with my money for so long, but after testing it out I'm sad I didn't welcome it into my collection sooner. This little dynamo encumbers all of my most worn shades and into one easy to carry package. Yes, I have shades that are similar or in some cases the same, but this groups them all together in a palette that fits perfectly in your hand. No more routing through various palettes trying to find my perfect neutrals, here they are ready and waiting. 

The pigmentation, like all Urban Decay eye shadows, is spot on. I've also noticed that there seems to be less fall out then I've experienced with the bigger Naked palettes. Overall it's a handy little palette to have and I've been using it none stop since I bought it. It's easy to throw into your handbag or travel size makeup bag and it really is all you need if you love a good neutral eye. 


Have you caved in and purchased the Naked Basics palette yet?

  1. I have seen so many great things on this palette. Great post, I now want to go rush out and buy this bad boy even though I already have a Naked palette. This just looks perfect for travel!

    1. It is! I thought I didn't need it because I have the first two Naked palettes but it fits right in nicely and is a great matte palette to have!

  2. I adore this palette. The pigmentation is brilliant, the range of shades is just perfect, and the size is incredibly convenient. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys mattes and neutrals :) x

  3. I did a post on this palette a while back and I was the same as you. I didn't want to spend the money because I already have a lot of neutral palettes but I am SO glad I purchased it. I now use it just about every day.
