Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics Review

I recently won the Naked 2 Basics Palette from a giveaway held by the lovely All That Shimmers. The naked basics palettes were never something I considered buying because I have all three of the Naked full sized palettes already so it seemed a bit unnecessary buying any Basic ones. But now I wish I had because I really like this one!

The palette contains 6 shades, none of which are in the normal Naked 2 palette. The shades are all matte, which the full size Naked palettes usually contain a couple of. I think my favourite shade is Skimp in this palette as it is a lovely colour to use on the brow bone but also to dust all over the lid. I also use Primal and Undone a lot. As you can see on these photos, my favourite look to do is this nice brown smokey eye, starting with the lighter colours on the inside of the eye and gradually building up the darker colours towards the outer corners. 

The colours in Naked 2 Basics all blend perfectly and last all day, as Urban Decay shadows always do! I really do love this palette and it's great if your going away and need to save on space. It's super light and will easily fit in your bag. I think it was meant to come with a brush too? But mine didn't for some reason! The only things I would change about this palette are Cover and Primal as they are very similar shades, so maybe they could have added a shimmer in there instead. This palette is great if you are a matte shade lover though! Also I really struggle to undo this palette! I have to dig my nails under which usually ends up in me breaking one or accidentally scraping the shadows.. But overall it's a great palette and fun to use!
