The Naked Palette Sequel: NAKED2 has arrived!!! Urban Decay does it again

Get ready to be even more NAKED!

      It wasn't enough to just get the first NAKED palette, which was instantly sold out everywhere....  Today, Urban Decay unveils Naked 2 ($50), the follow-up to the iconic Naked palette. 

     Housed in a taupe tin case, these 12 neutral shadows can be used to create a natural look, a dramatic evening eye, or anything in between — it's that versatile. Every shade can be worn alone or in combination with each other...the possible looks are endless!

I love that it comes in a tin which is much sturdier, and easier to clean!

Foxy

Foxy is not a new color for Urban Decay, however it is no longer available. It is a creamy bisque shade with a matte finish that is a perfect base color!

Half Baked

Half Baked is the only repeated color in this palette as it was also featured in the original Naked palette. It's no suprise to see it back as so many people claimed it as their favorite shade! It's a bronze gold, with a shimmery finish.

Bootycall

I love the names that Urban Decay comes up with for their shades. This is a shimmery cork shade - it reminds me a bit of MAC Naked Lunch. This would be a fun shade to highlight the inner corner of the eyes. This is a brand new shade, exclusive to the Naked2.

Chopper

I was stoked to see this shade in the palette as Kim K's makeup artist cites this shadow as one he uses in a lot of her looks. A copper shimmer with a fine silver micro-glitter, this shadow definitely has the wow factor. Chopper has been featured by UD before, and is available individually, however, I can see this being the 'Sidecar' of the Naked 2 Palette.

Tease

A gorgeous creamy, dusty brown with a matte finish and slight purple undertones, this will be a great crease color. It is new and exclusive to this palette!

Snakebite

Remember 'Smog' from the original Naked palette? Well this is basically it's Naked 2 palette equivalent, they are very similar - both dark bronze shimmers with a metallic sheen. It's a 'never-seen-before' shade, but like I said, it's like smog's sister.

Suspect 

I really like this color - it's the perfect taupe-y toned neutral. It has appeared in the UD 'Rollergirl' Palette before, but isn't available as a single eyeshadow.

Pistol

Pistol is a the perfect mix between a grey and a brown, and has a nice shimmer finish. It's pretty unique - plus, it's a new shade from Urban Decay! I think this would be a great all over the eye shade, paired with mega lashes for an evening look.

Verve

Verve is a pretty oyster pearl shade with a high shine finish. I think it would be fun as a whimsical base color and would be a perfect highlighter as well. It has been featured before in the 'Rollergirl' palette.

YDK 

This is one of Urban Decay's best selling shades in individual pot form and I can see why - it's a very easy to wear cool bronze shimmer! Blends beautifully with any other shade and compliments every skin tone. Love this color and so excited to see it featured in Naked2.

Busted

Busted is a more shimmery version of MAC Sketch. It is a dark plumb-like brown that would be great for the crease, or run under the eye for a smokey look. This shade is new, and exclusive to the Naked 2 palette. 

Blackout

Blackout is a matte black and has appeared in previous palettes. It has good pigmentation and isn't too powdery. I was excited to see a matte black and is one of my fav features of Naked2.

     At first glance you might think they look similar, but the original NAKED has more gold and yellow and peach-bronze hues, where the NAKED 2 has cooler more taupe colors with some mild golds, matte colors, and more muted bronze colors.

The "original" Naked: has a lot more shimmers, and more golden-gold-bronze hues.

The NAKED 2: I am so loving that they added a matte black, and more matte colors-Tease, Pistol, and Verve are beautiful!

There is only one color repeat (half baked), and instead of mini primer you get a mini lipgloss. The brush is double ended with one side for application and the other for blending.

I love that the Naked2 comes with the dual sided brush and the Naked Lipgloss, which is a beautiful nude rose- amazing, everyday wearable color that looks gorgeous on everyone!

      I have loved Urban Decay for years and when the original Naked palette came out I was floored at how versatile it was, I am once again impressed, as Naked 2 is a must-have for any bombshell beauty. 

     This would make a great gift for any make-up junkie, or for someone new to make-up as it is so easy to create pretty, natural looks. This palette is also- oh- so perfect for anyone who travels a lot or will be traveling for the holidays-you just take this baby along and you've got a myriad of looks in one compact palette.

I think Urban Decay hit the nail on the head with this one and I can only hope they decide to make it a trilogy!! Here's to a beauty-full (and NAKED) Thursday!! Happy December my lovelies!
