Urban Decay Naked Basics Review

I got this pallet at Christmas and it was my first naked pallet from urban decay. I chose not to purchase the previous pallets because I'm not a huge fan of shimmer and thought it would just be a waste to buy a pallet with a majority of shimmery colours. So if you're the same as me and prefer matte colours, the naked basics pallets is the one for you. It has six shade ( one shimmer ) from a skin tone to the blackest black.

I was surprisingly happy that there was one shimmer shade for a highlight. Every shade is extremely pigmented especially faint! The only colour I had trouble with is foxy. It seems as it has a layer or two of colour which no pigment which comes off . Although my sister has the same pallet and her pallet is perfect so I must have gotten a faulty colour. I can skratch the product off which then comes off pigmented.

Overall I'm very happy with the pallet, the pallet itself has a soft smooth sturdy feel and it also comes with a very large clear mirror which is very handy. You can create intense smokey eye looks or very simple natural looks and I find myself reaching for this pallet everytime I do my makeup.
