Anyone who has ever gone into an Ulta or Sephora in need of a new eyeshadow palette has probably gotten directed to go check out the Naked palettes by Urban Decay. At first glance, the palettes can be very overwhelming, each containing eyeshadows of similar tones and colors. However, if you take a closer look, it is easy to distinguish which palette is a perfect match for you. Here is an explanation of which Naked palette is right for you:
Naked 1
You can’t go wrong by purchasing the original Naked palette. That is because this palette contains many bronze and neutral colors that work with any skin tone. The matte shade "Buck" is a perfect blending shade. This palette looks great on women with blue or brown eyes and is very versatile, allowing soft, natural looks or dramatic looks. If your skin tone is a darker yellowy shade or olive-toned, then this palette is perfect for you.
Naked 2
Whereas the Naked 1 palette contains a lot of warm-toned colors, the Naked 2 palette is definitely more focused on the cool tones. This palette also contains more metallic-like shades like silver and grey. Because of this, the Naked 2 palette looks a lot better on women with more fair, cool skin tones. The colors in this palette complement women with hazel or grey eyes, but the darker colors of the palette, "Busted" and "Blackout," are perfect for creating the perfect smokey eye.
Naked 3
This palette is probably the least universal of the Naked palettes, but looks beautiful on the right person. The colors in this palette are rose-toned, which really compliments blue eyes. However, women whose skin contains pink undertones should definitely keep away from this palette. This palette also contains two very sparkly shades, "Dust" and "Blackheart," that will get sparkles all over your face if not applied properly, but will look great when used correctly.
Naked Smoky
The Naked Smoky palette is the newest addition to the Naked palettes and honestly works for people of any skin and eye color. Because this palette is designed for creating the perfect smokey eye, the palette really emphasizes the importance of blending by providing the perfect blending shades, "Whiskey" and "Dagger, " as well as a two-sided, rounded blending brush. This palette, unlike the others, contains many matte shades. However, some people shy away from this palette simply because of its boldness. If you are afraid of experimenting with bold and dramatic colors -- you might want to consider another one of the Naked palettes.
