Urban Decay's NAKED Basics - Page 4

 

i don't wear foundation but I sometimes wear BB Cream (Missha's BB Cream in No. 23 & 27 both fits me).. sorry =/ i'm a medium skintone with yellow undertones though :)

This weekend, I went to Five Below and they have their own  Naked palette for only 5 bucks. I thought it was cute but didn't buy it.

This is a very interesting thread. I have been wondering how this palette compares to the other 2 larger Nakeds. I think these are mostly very light shadows which might look prettier. at least on my pale skin, in the summer when I'm using bronzers and self- tanner products. They probably wouldn't show up enough to show I was wearing shadow, even with primer, right now. I really like the lower price! Good move by UD.

Its on Sephora.com now!  yay!

got this yesterday, used it today but I didn't really get to play around with looks and all cause the power was out at my house this morning and I kinda did my make up half a$$ed in the dark.  But I do like it!  I don't have naked 2.  I have naked one.  I don't really feel  the colors are similar to what's in naked 1 so I thought this would be good.  Maybe if I had naked 2 which does contain one of the same colors I'd feel differently.

 

Also, it helped that they're doing free shipping over $35.  I got this and the mystery bag which I am so happy I got!

I just bought this palette from Sephora online. I officially have a problem:)

I want this but I won't make an official decision til I see it in person. I love mattes & this would be a nice addition to the other two naked palettes. However I don't think it's a neccessity either in already owing the other two palettes.

emilynoel83 just did a dupe video on youtube about the Urban Decay basics.  I was thinking of buying it (not because I need it, but because I want it) and after seeing some of the dupes (she did individual and palettes) I decided to pass.

I saw that Ulta has it online too and I almost bought it but still debating....

I went ahead and ordered this from UD. Its for my mom technically, but she might now want it. With the free sample, free travel size bag of goodies, and free el dorado travel pencil, I couldn't resist. So I got this and the professional size of primer potion. Yay!

I like matte shadows but the first 3 colors are too light/too similar to each other and black one is an acquired taste/too dark. That leaves only 2 shadows that are nice mid-range colored shadows. That's not enough to make me want it.

She definitely did a GREAT video! I wasn't ever tempted to buy it because the colors are ones I already have. (plus I am hopelessly in love with my Lorac Pro Palette. Everyday I fall more in love! LOL) Hopefully people on the fence check out her video though because there are so many better options out there.

yeah not spending my money on it.

wow, her dupes are exact dupes! she's awesome

I have never tried Lorac.  How do you rate the shadows?  Are the buttery?  Fallout?  I may have to look into the Lorac Pro palette!  Thanks for the tip!

I have a Lorac trio and they are indeed buttery, I get no fallout and they wear through the day, I love Lorac products, their liquid eyeliner is my favorite by far, their eye primer is amazing too! 

Ok.  I am sold.  Off to sephora.com and ulta.com.....It's not goo to hoard but almost as good! ;)

their Unzipped palette has nude shades, and they look cute :)

Who makes Unzipped?  Lorac?  I like all shades.  I like eyeshadows.  And eyeliner.  And lipgloss.  And lotion.  And bath gel.  Oh the depths of my goo hoarding know no bounds! 

yeah, Lorac has a palette called Unzipped...and don't worry my goo hoarding is at that level too :) special with lip gloss :D

For those who love the LORAC Pro Pallette (I am one), I also highly recommend Laura Mercier's Artist pallette. It's another half matte/half shimmer. I believe it retails for $48. I bought it online but can't remember if it was from Sephora or ULTA.

I was in Sephora website earlier and thinking of getting this because I sssoooo love UD Naked. I already have the other two and it seems like my heart was broken when I saw the reviews. Would there be any chances that they will put this on discounted sale (well, not soon, but maybe next year)?

 

I bought the LORAC Pro Palette instead. Thanks for the suggestions/feedback ladies!

Based on that video, I wore my NYX Butt Naked Eyes palette today and realized Emily is right- the UD one is incredibly basic, and I own too many dupes to justify buying it.

I have the Butt Naked too, but have not gotten around to trying it yet! I agree after seeing the video, I was like "Wait, I have that palette, and that shadow and that one."  Do not need Naked Basic!  Totally going to get the Lorac Pro Palette (going to Ulta tomorrow to see it in person).  I will also check out Laura Mercier.  I do not have any makeup by her, but have been wanting to try!  Thanks to all for the tips!

For anyone interested in checking the palette out in person, my local Ulta store actually has them out already.  I wish I had known they would launch in physical stores so early!  At any rate, I think I may be in the minority but I really like my Naked Basics. I think it's a good value vs UD singles, and the price point is far more in my range than their bigger palettes.  The colors are easy to mix without making a huge mess.
 

Thinking of getting NYX Butt Naked now :D

It's a great one, and frequently available when NYX is on HauteLook.

I will keep an eye open :D thank you ^^

I have the "good" 20% off Ulta coupon and my husband needs a few other things for me so I may pick this up. Naked 2 (the color not the palette...who names these anyway!?) looks like it may be very close to Stila Eden, but I need to swatch and see. Will also swatch Lorac while I am there but I am psyched about a small, basic, buttery, all-matte palette. I have enough sparkly stuff to supplement if I feel the need. Then I should be Done. For years to come, LOL.

I know I am getting the $29 Juice Beauty kit With the coupon. I want to try the apple peel!

Not as small, and slightly more expensive, but take a look at Stila's In The Know palette. $39 before the coupon applies.

 

"The In the Know eye shadow palette contains 10 matte shades of Stila's award-winning eye shadows that flatter every skin tone and can be worn wet or dry. The palette also includes an exclusive Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Halfmoon, a matte charcoal grey shade, plus an eight-page look book with detailed application tips and tricks."
