Urban Decay's NAKED2 palette



Whilst the first Urban Decay palette brought us a range of browns, naturals and blue-grey in both shimmer and matt-style tones to create a palette perfect for everyday wear, the NAKED2 palette brings a whole new ball game with 12 new tones (with the exception of 'Half baked' which featured in the original NAKED palette) and a double ended brush featuring Urban Decays crease brush and shadow brush which unlike many larger palettes is full sized making application a breeze. The combination of the double ended brush means that with minimal effort a range of looks can be achieved without the need for more tools, and more brush cleaning.
Personally I love this palette for everyday wear but it can be spiced up for an evening out with a little shimmer powder.
Whilst you do not really need to apply a primer with this eyeshadow, it doesn't necessarily crease to an alarming extent, but without a primer such as Urban Decays original Primer Potion, you will need to reapply if your wearing it all day and in to the night, and reapplication on the move with this palette is a bit of a pain simply because it is large in size and isn't necessarily something that you want to be carrying around in your handbag all day.
This palette will run you $50 but is well worth the buy, as it includes 12 diverse shades and a full size double ended brush. The box that this comes in also includes a sample sized (3.23mL) LIP JUNKIE, which is cooling on the lips with a very minty smell and taste to it.
