Give in to the dark side and get hooked on this on-trend take on the classic neutrals. Loaded with an assortment of amber-toned shades, this seriously lust-worthy palette is equipped with every warm hue you need to create endless eye looks. Get ready to lose your mind over red-browns, deep bronzes, burnt oranges and multi-dimensional copper in an array of matte, shimmer and metallic finishes. Opt for understated with a wash of warm brown or amp up the intensity with a super sultry, smoked out look.
I have never owned an Urban Decay palette, or really any UD at all (I DON'T KNOW WHY, DON'T YELL AT ME!) but this palette has definitely made me question why I have never owned anything from them before, because this palette is heaven.
Let's start with the packaging - it's a weighty palette, but a good quality kind of weightiness (if you know what I mean). A lot of people have said that it is very similar to the Smokey Palette, which I haven't seen, so I can't comment! They have just nailed the outside, with the warm amber-tones taking focus. One of my favourite things about this palette is actually the brush. I am used to those padded brushes that are awful, which I always throw away. This brush is a double ended fluffy brush that is not only beautiful and soft, but oh so practical (I am always won over by practicality).
Now I wouldn't describe these tones as 'naked tones', but they fit the heat concept so well and are so gorgeous that I ain't complaining. I think there is a really good mix of matte and shimmer shades in this palette. I don't know about you, but I like to have a bit of a mix in my palettes, I don't like to have all matte or all shimmer, I need a bit of both! There are about 8 matte and 4 shimmer. I have found them to be extremely pigmented and easy to apply with either a brush or fingers, whatever your jam is). They are creamy and feel like velvet, I am seriously in love.

| Let's appreciate for a moment, how bad my blending is in this eye look. However 'He Devil' looks gorgeous on the eyes haha so ignore the awful blending and just appreciate the colours! |
Not only do I think these are all brilliant on their own, but it would be the perfect companion to a darker smoky palette, such as the UD Smokey Palette.The main reason I decided to pick it up was because it was so different to anything I own, so it fit's perfectly into my make up collection.
Will you be picking up the Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette? xx
That look is stunning on you! Those colours are a great combo, they look lovely on you. I think I will get it because having owned the others I know how amazing the quality will be, and these colours from the Heat palette are definitely my kind of warm tones so I can use them a lot. I love that theres dark shades for a easy smokey eye look ��

Thank you so much lovely! I thought that at first too, but I am obsessed! xx
DeleteOh my these shades are beautiful!! As much as a love the palette, I probably wouldn't pick one up. If I could buy three individuals shades, that would be perfect! Also, you look absolutely stunning Laura!!

You are too kind! Thank you! I was hesitant to buy it, and I think if I had a palette similar I wouldn't need this one, but it was so different to anything I own that I could justify it! xx
DeleteI love the packaging and the shades are amazing! I love palettes that have so many great shades to use!
ReplyDeleteIt is so gorgeous, I am so glad I bought it! xx
DeleteSo pretty - I adore the packaging! I think this is my favourite of the Naked palettes, but I won't be picking it up since I have so many similar shades already. I'm a sucker for those warm tones! Every one should have at least one UD palette though haha! I've got the Naked 3 which is still pretty unique in my collection!
ReplyDeleteTasha // shiwashiful.
I totally agree, it's so gorgeous!! Yea, I don't think I would've picked it up if I had something similar already! xx
DeleteThese shades look beautiful on you Laura! I'm so tempted by this palette but I already have the ND sunset palette so I'm like NO STEPH STOP ENOUGH IS ENOUGH XD but it's so pretty darnit
ReplyDeleteHahaha it takes so much self control!! I had none clearly haha xx
DeleteI've never owned any UD palettes but as soon as I saw this one I fell in love! I see a splurge coming on!!
ReplyDeleteSharni // A Girl & Grey
It is my first one and I absolutely love it!! xx
Deletewow, this palette is so amazing. Thank you for the swatches, all the shades are so gorgeous and you look so beautiful. I was resisting this palette but now i think i am going to pick this on up.
ReplyDeleteNo worries at all! I am obsessed haha so glad I bought it! xx
DeleteI haven't had a chance to look up whether or not this palette is vegan but I hope so!
ReplyDeleteOh! Hopefully it is! xx
DeleteThey look so pigmented and I love the shades and makeup look you created! Every gal needs an UD Naked Palette x
ReplyDeleteThey honestly are! I have been so impressed!!
DeleteWhat a stunning look you created, Laura. Fantastic swatches, too xx
