If you’re the gambling type, we think that putting some cash down on the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette ($54) would be a good bet. The fourth palette in the Newport Beach-based brand’s Naked franchise, we’re certain it’ll follow in the glittering footsteps of its three predecessors. And knowing the beauty community’s penchant for all things neutral (not to mention all things UD), you better get on this fast.
Like the other palettes (the original, Naked2 and Naked3), the Naked Smoky offers up twelve shades of super-buttery, ultra-blendable and long lasting shadows that take on day-to-night beauty like no other. What sets Smoky apart form its sisters are the deeper shades, which makes this the perfect palette for those times you want to step up the drama and really smoke things out. Nine of the shades are brand-new and the other three are exclusive to previous palettes, so you’re getting a whole new selection of shades that go from safe to sultry. With multiple textures ranging from matte to shimmer, there’s an endless combination of looks you can create. Feel overwhelmed? Along with a double-ended vegan cruelty-free brush, Urban Decay has included a lookbook that gives beauty veterans and newbies alike step-by-step inspiration to get the most out of this versatile palette.
