Urban Decay Naked Basics

The Naked Basics palette is a mostly matte, travel-friendly neutrals palette from Urban Decay. I say mostly matte because the first color in the palette, Venus, is actually quite shimmery. It is basically a white version of Bootycall from the Naked 2.

While the first three shades in this palette don't get much use, I always reach for the last three. Naked2 is a favorite of mine for a crease color, and Faint is great for my outer corners. I am always wearing a variation of brown on my eyes, so for me this palette is really useful. I have the Naked 2 palette, but I actually use this more day to day, probably because it has everything I need for a neutral eye look.

If you are the type of person to mix up your eye makeup and wear a large range of colors, I think you can do without this palette. However, if you are always wearing neutrals and have been searching for matte eyeshadows with good color payoff, this is for you.
