Review: *NEW* Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette
What is it?
An absolutely gorgeous eyeshadow palette with 12 neutral colors and a dual ended eyeliner pencil!
They Describe it As:
THIS is how Urban Decay does neutral! Far from a group of boring beige shadows, this long, lean, seductive case is packed with TWELVE gorgeous neutrals. Shades range from delicate champagnes to dark, gritty gunmetal, and feature FIVE NEW shades with names like Darkhorse, Virgin and Buck. We’ve also included a range of textures: everything from glitter to shimmer to matte.
This is a shadow palette EVERYONE can use, and a truly spectacular gift. Experiment with office-appropriate neutrals, summertime bronzy looks, or sultry smokiness. With such a diversity of neutral shades at your fingertips, you’ll show there’s more to neutral than meets the eye.
Overall Opinion:
This is truly my favorite neutral palette of all time- seriously! I love the colors in this, the packaging is so sexy yet fun, and it’s sleek enough to carry in your purse. I also love that there’s a dual ended eyeliner with both brown and black. PLUS, the eyeshadows are not all glittery- there’s a nice variety of matte and shimmer! This is a must have product this fall!

i really needed a good review! i am definetly going to buy this when it is released here in singapore!
thank you soo much!!!
xoxo and more xoxo! lol
When will this be released in the U.S.????????????
it was already released but they’ve sold out til fall i believe
I know- I can’t believe how fast it sold out!
I want to get several for the moderators and some friends- it really is my favorite palette!
Sephora just got it back in stock!! I just ordered mine!!
I had tried every website from Sephora to Macy’s and they were all sold out, even as of 2 weeks ago. I just went to the mall today and they had it in stock at the Sephora store!
July 28th
Gorgeous! Thanks for the review! UD keeps feeding my addiction!
im just so so sad…
i don’t get urban decay in india.. and i’ll have to wait till i come to usa to buy all the things i want out of your reviews… and thnx to you Marlena.. the list is looooong…
)
love your work.. u are truly an inspiration..
wishin you all the success in what u do!
i’ve always been a huge fan of gorgeous neutrals and i’m so glad everyone else is loving them now too. i can’t wait for mine to come (it shipped but hasn’t arrived yet)
Not to mention that – it’s like having 12 full-sized eyeshadows (there is 0.05oz of each color, same as in a regular single eyeshadow). That’s $204 worth of eyeshadow for $44. Sexy!
I ordered this the day it came out (well, the day after, just before it sold out on UD’s site), and it definitely does not disappoint!
this looks gorgoeus !! I sm going to run out and get IT!!!
AWWWWW It’s sold out!!!!! I hope I can still get my hands on one though> I NEED this palette!!!! I need good neutrals that aren’t shimmery it’s almost impossible for me to find nice eyeshadows that aren’t shimmery (and still cheap). Do you have a video on neutral just wondering.
PLUS, CAN YOU PLEASE REVIEW AND MAKE A VIDEO ON THE MANLY 120 PALETTE. I’M EXPECTING IT IN THE MAIL ANY DAY NOW.
Awesome palette!!! Can’t wait to buy it when I find it somewhere!! Marlena can u please do a tutorial abt different looks using this naked palette?? Pleeassee?!
Also I wanted to know where I can email u at for personal questions? I saw your video about moving on and I just wanted to say I wish you so much success and happiness! I hope you find someone who is as sweet and loving as you are!! I really enjoy watching your videos as you have a great humble pesonality!
Please do keep us updated on what u learn at your school. It would be wonderful if u could make daily videos on what u learn everyday, that way people like me who don’t have such opportunities could learn so much from you! If u can’t do it everyday then sometimes is okay! You are a great teacher too! Love you lots!! God bless ya!
Marlena, what do you think of green, all natural makeup?
So super excited about this palette!!!! going to get mine tomorrow! nhopefully it’s not sold out in Newmarket, Ontario!
the sephora Canada website is down… do you know if Canada is selling it or do I need to order it online??
The Naked Palette is back at Sephora.com … I ordered mine this afternoon
I hope it’s not limited edition like the Alice in Wonderland palette! It’ll drive me to tears!!!
I just order mine last night too!!! I hate that I have to wait about a week and a half to get it though…grrrr
so that reply was for pretty addicted.
They have them in stock at Sephora!!!!!! I just got mine OMG!!!! get them while you can I’ve been waiting a week for them to restock
I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH SEPHORA!!!! NOW WE NEED SOME TUTORIALS GIRLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tutorials, PLEASEE!!!!!!!! I LOVE the palette!
I second that emotion. LOVE the palette (I just got mine today too!) and we MUST have a tutorial!!
This is my dream pallette come true! I mostly wear neutrals so I’m pumped. Just got it in the mail this week <3 Woop Woop!!
PS~ Yes some tutorials please
please
Ooooh! Very glamorous, by any chance could you start carrying this in the store? If not, are there any places you would recommend that perhaps would not charge over $40?
So excited when I saw this palette…but UD & Sephora have already sold out. My only gripe is that Half-Baked is in every palette I own. It’s a great color, but I wish they could come up with another color to put in their palettes!
sephora hasn’t sold out yet…i just got one online
Omg Marlena i wish you stocked UD in the Mug Store…. We cant get any UD here in Australia
I just paid a ridiculous price for it on ebay cos I couldnt get it from anywhere else!!
WOO HOO! This is by far the best pallette I have seen for neutrals. I am a shimmer eye shadow wearer and no matter how I try will always gravitate back to shimmer. Which is why I like this pallette so much is you get the benefit of shimmer and still have a neutral look.
Is it possible for you to sell Urban Decay in your store?
Turtorials PLEASE… Could you do a few different looks like you did for UD book of shadows II! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Thanks babe!
OMG! Beautiful! Can’t for for a tutorial!
LOVE THIS!
Can you PLEASE do a tutorial with three looks like you did with the BOS 2?
Happy summer!
so want this….my husband would kill if I went to spehora again.
I am going to go get this today. I was trying hard not to get it, but I can’t help it the colors are beautiful. I didn’t get the book of shadows series so I am not gonna let this one pass me by
Noooooooo! I saw this on Sephora’s website last night and put it in my cart, but then I was looking around for something else to get the free shipping, and it sold out while I was trying to finish my order! Anyone else know where I can get this, or when it might be back in stock?
These are beautiful colors!!! I want it so badly because I’d use it so much
Does anyone know when it’s coming to Ulta?
I love the palette of mixed textures…not enough manufacturers provide so many options in one compact. Finally someone has sat up and listened to the market! Yay!
Im wearing it just now!! I love it! They still got several in the store! Heard they were gonna sold out pretty fast
The best Palette I have ever bought, now how to use it!! LOL!!
I’m still waiting for it to become available
UGGH the wait is killing me!
I’ve been waiting for this forever, I’m almost tempted to buy it over priced on Amazon or something, knowing my luck it’d finally be in stock the day after
Does anyone know wen this will b out in the UK please?
Anyone know if/when this will be available in Australia and where?
I am dying to buy this palette I heard it might be in the UK in September i hope i don’t have to wait that long lol
WOW! Sold out everywhere!
Marlena can u tell me where i can buy this in Asia ?
so sad japan doesn’t have urban decay and benefit too! i want that palette and primer and more! but a friend of mine in US will be visiting here on August I hope she’ll be able to get it for me =) hoping it’s still availbale =)
I just got mine yesterday and fell in love with it. The pallet has very gorgeus colors and off course the two in one liner takes the cake. Great job Urban Decay and thank you Marlena for the Review
Is this pallette going to be ok for me? I am 45,what about the shimmer??? Love it. Thx Marlena
Just bought mine today and I think its a great price for what it comes with! I went to sephora and was the first to buy it, they haven’t even put them in display, the girl working there said she’ll bring one out from the back for me!
It’s great, because it came with a small bottle of Primer Potion for the same price of $44.
I just purchased the palette from Sephora! The workers didn’t even put the sample out yet! CALL AHEAD and put it on hold! It runs out fast! Even the sephora workers are purchasing it!
Hi Marlena,
Can you do a bronze look with naked palette. Please!!!!!!
hey marlena, i just want to tell you how helpful you and your tutrioals are, i am really consediring buying this pallete, i love urban decay! i also would love to buy the nars sheer glow foundation but i dont know what colour i would be as we dont have it over here where i live, and i really would like to know whether to get the max fix plus or urban decay all nighter, really do want my make up to stay on all day and night, for like going to a club but at the same time i want to look flawless
thank you so much xxx
Hi Marlena,
I have an urban decay book of shadow vol 2 but I saw vol 3 also came and its sold out already so you being urban decay fan how come you didn’t post a review on that? I saw the colors online and I think its great!!!
Hi, Iqra
The third BoS was called Alice in Wonderland, and you can see the swatches in a post over here: http://www.makeupgeek.com/swatches/swatch-urban-decay-alice-in-wonderland-book-of-shadows/
There’s also a tutorial look somewhere on the site – search for Alice and you should find it.
Thanks for a very honest review
I was lucky enough to get the LAST palette tonight for my birthday! I was super excited! I am a busy college student and was wondering can you do a tutorial for a day look for school that can be transformed into a fun night time look!
hey marlena, i just want to tell you how helpful you and your tutrioals are, i am really consediring buying this pallete, i love urban decay! i also would love to buy the nars sheer glow foundation but i dont know what colour i would be as we dont have it over here where i live, and i really would like to know whether to get the max fix plus or urban decay all nighter, really do want my make up to stay on all day and night, for like going to a club but at the same time i want to look flawless
thank you so much xxx
I really love this pallette! I do wish there were more matte finishes in it as I am not as into the shimmers – but I LOVE it! Totally worth the price!
I finally got mine! I haven’t played yet but I can’t wait. I had my name on the list thank goodness because my Sephora only got 20 of them in, Im sure they went fast, I bet they didn’t make them onto the shelves after calling all the people that were waiting and the employees. Call your local store and put your name on that list! You won’t regret it, the colors are great!
These are available online now at Sephora! I was finally able to order mine!
LADIES…. It’s BaCk ; )…… Sephora emailed me, that it is back in stock. Grab Ur’s Now b/C it will be gone b4 u know it…. I LOVE IT!!!!! Colors are AmaZiNg
I went to buy this yesterday at Sephora and they are sold out until mid August so I bought the Too Faced Natural Palette and I love it, but I did put my name on the waiting list along with 10 others for the Urban Decay!
OMG, me too! The Natural Palette is really pretty but I’m gonna ditch it for Naked, I’m sure of it!
ordered mine online through ulta today – they have them in stock!
Anychance some1 in america wud fanc buying this for me and sending it to me here in the uk and i would put the money in your account or via paypal
lol just cant wait anymore here in the uk!!!!!
I looked for this because I really wanted it – couldn’t find it on Sephora or Amazon or Urban Decay’s website. finally found it off Ulta!! I’m so excited!!
i just got mine today from sephore and its worth it!!!!
Hey!!!! guys jus got my naked palette at my local sephora, only had 2 left and i bought both! i love it soooo much! buh im willing to sell one
i know this palette is sold EVERYWHERE and which is why im willing to give one away…..email me at shama316@yahoo.com $75 and free shipping to anywhere in the U.S. ! NIB . Prefer paypal.

WOW – $75?? It is only $44 at Sephora. Yikes!

Picked mine up at Ulta today. Can’t wait to play around with it and would love to see more tuts with this palette.
GO TO ULTA THEY HAVE A TON OF PALETTES STILL
HOORAY!! got mine yesterday at ULTA!!
Hey, Marlena! Could I make a tutorial request? With eyeshadows, I normally do more colorful looks like the ones on your videos. I bought the naked palette over the weekend and I feel like I look odd in those colors. Could you possibly do a few more tutorials with the palette? I think if I saw some more combinations it would help me a lot. Thanks so much!
got mine today cant wait to play with it
Darkhorse from this palette is my new favorite color! So beautiful for a smokey look.
I looove urban decayy definatelyy have 2 gett thiss oneee!!!gorgeous colorrrssss
Back in stock in the US at Sephora.com ! But not in France ! So sad…
Does anyone know when this palette and the Book of Shadows 3 palette will be available in the UK at all?
I want this palette, but ofc no UD in Norway. We don’t have anything here -.-”
But at the same time I feel like the colors are easy to find a dupe for.
O my gosh i finally found the pallete online it has been sold out everywhere and when i saw it i baught it and it took me forever to find it!
I am dieing to get my hands on this pallete, it’s just so perfect! unfortunately every where I look it is sold out, so sad. Has anyone found another place to get it?
just look on sephora and have them e-mail you when they come in stock and soon enough you will have it! hope it helped
You can get this pallette at Ulta stores near you!!!!! i just bought mine today and it was $44!!! can’t wait to start wearing it
Nope…both Ulta’s in my area are still sold out
i just bought it for $44 at sephora, and i absolutely love it!
MARLENA……
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell us another NAKED look is coming soon!
yeeeeeeeeeyyyyy i got one on ebay the colors look sooooo pretty, perfect for fall and of course every other season!
I bought this palette after watching your review. It is absolutely gorgeous! The colors are so beautiful, I tend to do a lot of neutral and bronzy brown looks for my eyes and since buying this palette (about a month and a half ago) it’s all I’ve needed! Sooooo worth it! Plus the chocolate colored velvet on the outside of the packaging makes it irresistible!
Please do more reviews using this palette!!! Please!
Much love, Harriet. xo
I got a gift card for my birthday to get this palette, well the day of my birthday, they didn’t have it.
But I JUST got it today, and I can’t wait to use it!
SO EXCITED! It’s more beautiful in person than it is online!
lol
Will you please do a natural fun look using only this pallet…please please please!!! LOL
Ditto Samantha. I just got this palette today – OMG I love, love, love the colors! A natural, every day look would be so great!
I live in Montreal and we dont get Urban Decay here. I just went to boston on Saturday and surprise! They had the palette at Sephora!!! An employee told me they had just gotten it on Thursday. I can’t believe my luck =D Bought 2 (one for little sister). Hope you do a lot of looks using this Marlena
Hi Marlena! I was wondering if you could recommend any MAC dupes for the eye shadows. I’d love to be able to replicate the colors as the palette is sold out! Thanks in advance!
Anyone know where I can get my hands on the palette in Australia without buying it online in the Sydney area?? Haven’t really seen the Urban Decay stuff in Myers or DJ’s (maybe I’m just blind)!
I went to the Sephora in New Orleans a few days ago, and they actually had 4 or 5 of them in stock, so I guess I got lucky!! I even went there when the Alice in Wonderland book of shadows came out, and I got the last one!!! It was actually a tester, but was not touched, so I bought it anyway!!
Marlena your tutorials are definitely addicting, I check your site everyday to see what beautiful stunning and edgy, sexy, cool looks you are going to come up with!!
All my love and admiration as an aspiring makeup artist,
Natalie from NOLA!!!
Hello Marlena,
I just bought the NAKED palette, and am having trouble using the colors together. I look like Im in the circus~ please help and do a tutorial for this palette.
Your the best !!
Lynn Presley
I purchased this palette too. But I have to disagree, out of the 12 shades only 2 are matte. Could have done with a couple more I reckon. Also I’m not impressed with the shade sidecar, WAY TOO MUCH fallout!. I was happy with the price because they are all full size shadows.
