The Naked Smoky palette features a great variety of colors and finishes, even a few mattes! 4 shades have a very shimmery finish, but they aren't glittery : High, Dirtysweet, Radar, Slanted. Armor is very shimmery too but it contains micro glitters. There's also 3 with a satin finish (Dagger, Black Market and Smolder), they aren't matte but they aren't very frosty either. And finally, there's 4 matte shades : Password, Whiskey, Combust, Thirteen.
All shades are smooth and highly pigmented, but hey it's not surprising : it's Urban Decay!
It comes with a double ended brush, one side is a crease brush and the other is a smudge brush. I love it, the smudge brush is perfect to create a faded effect along the lower lash line!
I usually avoid silver eyeshadows, most of them are too cool toned for my golden complexion so they aren't very flattering, but this palette contain all the shades I need to make it wearable. The trick is to apply a warm brown on the outer v and a gold shade on the inner corner, and then apply the silver on the center of the lid. Here's how it looks!
For this look, I applied Whiskey and Password into the crease and on the outer v. Then, I added Slanted all over the lid and Dirtysweet on the inner corner. I applied Black Market and Whiskey on the lower lashline with the Urban Decay smudge brush. I added Thirteen on the brow bone too. The last step is to blend any harsh edge with Combust!
I have nothing bad to say about this palette, I love it!
The Urban Decay Naked Smoky Eyeshadow Palette retail for $64 CAD for 15.6g and is available at Sephora, Ulta and Macys.
