Coming Soon – Urban Decay Naked2 Basics Eyeshadow Palette

Urban Decay Naked2 Basics Eyeshadow Palette

Hold your unicorns, beauty junkies! — Urban Decay is coming out with a Naked2 Basics Eyeshadow Palette

“When UD junkies cried out for a palette of matte neutrals, Naked Basics delivered—and left them begging for MORE shades. (And we couldn’t deny them!)

Cooler in tone than the original, Naked2 Basics complements Naked2 perfectly. We loaded this indispensable palette with six TAUPE-hued matte neutrals, including five never-before-seen shades. These shadows are neutral enough for anyone, from cool skin tones to olive complexions to darker skin.

Like the original, Naked2 Basics comes in a sleek, soft-touch case that has a suede-like feel and a slight sheen. It’s small and compact so it travels well, yet we still packed it with six FULL-size shadows.

What You Get: Skimp (pale nude satin), Stark (nude-pink matte), Frisk (warm gray matte), Cover (muted red-brown matte), Primal (muted brown matte) and Undone (deep, smoky brown matte).”

Ask Around: What’s Your Favorite Weekend Look?

AskAround02
Check out the tutorials for these looks here, here and here.

As I was dabbing some Urban Decay Naked 3 — Trick onto my lids, I was wondering: What were you wearing this weekend? Better yet, what is your most favorite look to wear on the weekends?

Me? I’m all about that soft smokey eyes with a dash of shimmer on the lids and nude lips craze. Or a good winged liner! — that usually gives me good weekend vibes… if I’m actually wearing makeup, that is. Yup, that’s right! On weekends, I’m like: Nope. Not happening — Bye makeup, Hello fresh face!

How about you? What’s your favorite weekend look? Do you go all out and choose smokey and intense, or is a soft winged eyeliner more your thing? Share in the comments below!
