Best eyeshadow palette I have EVER had, I use it almost every single day!
PROS:
The colors are universally flattering earthy tones
The palette contain both muted and bright choices, so there is something for both daytime and nighttime.
The colors are very pigmented yet easy to blend
All the colors go well together
They last all day if worn with a primer underneath
CONS:
There aren't a lot of mat choices (only 2), most of them have subtle shimmer.
Talc is a main ingredient in many of the eyeshadows.
The packaging (velvet covered cardboard) doesn't last well and look dirty in a matter of weeks and the gold letters stamped across the front break down quickly
EXTRA:
Note: This palette is the warm choice palette while Naked II is cool.
The brush that comes with the palette is nothing special, very 'meh'.

This palette is pretty amazing value. I absolutely love the shades and I think they would suit most complexions...however, what a shame there are only two matte shadows! These colours are quite pigmented and have wonderful staying power. I actually like them more than my MAC eyeshadows because they blend beautifully. My favourite colours are the two highlighty shades (virgin and sin) and the two mattes are great too. Sidecar is highly glittery and ends up all over my cheeks when I use it. Toasted is a nice metallic rose gold / pink colour.
I also love the brush that comes with the palette. The packaging is cute too - it comes in a large velvet covered palette which looks quite luxe on my bathroom counter.
Because of the size of this palette it's not portable but it's a great starting point for those wanting to build up a shadow collection of basic colours.
I put off buying this pallet for the longest time because I couldnt justify spending $50 on eyeshadow. I finally gave in and purchased it, and I am so glad that I did! all the colors are velvety and smooth and with the UD primer potion it lasts all day and never creases. The range of eyeshadow colors are perfect for any skin tone and all the colors can be combined with other colors in this pallet to create an unlimited number of different looks. Perfect for going out or days at the office, you cant go wrong with this pallet. After buying this, I havent used any other eyeshadow, its a staple product. If youre contemplating buying this take the plunge and do it, its more than worth the money!

This is natural and glammy both! I have recommended this to two women as a great makeup collection staple. It was my first h.e. pallette, and 1st UD item...it really convinced me to consider the "h.e. investment" in all my makeup purchases!
I bought it last July, and it looks close to new, because the shadows are so pigmented, a "little dab'll do ya". The packaging is lovely and important, because I have my products around for so long...each needs have functional and attractive container. (It would be better with a magnet close, for some extra security.)
I sanitized it today: with 90% alcohol in a fine spray bottle. Dried quick; I had to wipe down the cardboard though.
That UD gave the brush and primer freebies was awesome too, b/c UDPP is terrific! (Look up how to de-pot it though.)
TRY the shadow with a damp (h2o) brush for more fun with the colors. My favorite colors are: sidecar, halfbaked, toasted, and buck (matte).
I gave it a 3 for price: it is NOT up there like some department lines. Also, I factor the "accessibility" into the $, and Urban Decay is accessible and approachable. :-) (For example, the Clarins counter felt SO foreign to me!)
I've gone on to buy 24/4 pencils and the UD Nskin from this intial Naked palette purchase. Highly recommend as an investment or gift. UD Naked 1 will be around your makeup collection for months/years, like a comfortable pair of jeans that you love.

I love it! Use it every day. Only complaint is the felt packaging. So yucky after awhile. It attracts dust/makeup etc. Eye shadows melt and blends like butter! I'm an UD addict. I have the BOS IV, Mariposa, Ammo, and Deluxe Palette.
Words cannot describe my feelings and admiration for this product! It is so amazing, and perfect in so many ways. The colors are beautiful and perfect for my taste, neutral and not bright or out there. With this palette, there are endless eye look possibilities. The colors are very pigmented and last all day, I use a e/s primer. You can make day looks or night looks in just one palette. $50 is a lot for makeup, and I've never spent over $40 for a single product beside this and the Naked II Palette. I would repurchase this item hundreds of time if I ran out. I could go on and on, but the point is that you won't regret this purchase if you love neutral eye shadows. Also, you don't need both the Naked I and II palette, I bought both and that was a waste of money. They both are very similar, so pick whichever you like and use that. You'll just neglect one and continuously use the one you favor. I prefer the brush on this palette compared to the naked II palette, because this brush is thicker and wider and gets more product on. I just wish it had a blending side like the other. The packaging isn't as nice as the other palette as well, but it will do.
Pro's:
Highly Pigmented
Wide Variety
Several look options
Brush
Great packaging
Large mirror

I honestly don't know what I would do without this palette. I use it every single day (either on its own or in conjunction with my naked 2). I love the highlights in this palette (even more so than in the naked 2). Virgin is the prettiest sheer peachy highlight. Once I use this palette up, I will definitely repurchase.

I love this palette. It can be used for a no makeup day look or a night look..and everything in between, you can create so many looks. My favorite shades are toasted, half baked, and darkhorse. Virgin and sin are perfect for inner eye corner and brow bone.The shades in the Naked palette definitely seem best suited for a neutral/warm complexion. I think Naked 2 is more for a cool complexion.
My only cons are it doesn't seem to be as long lasting on me as everyone says, but it could be my oily lids or my eye cream - so not sure if it's that or the product. Also I wish there were more matte shades, I know a lot of people say that. Overall I think this is a really good product.
This is the best eyeshadow pallet I've had so far. I love the neutral colors, which helps me experiment with light/heavy application. My one issue is that I have to use a thick layer of eye primer to make sure it doesn't move - if I don't, I get highlighting colors in my crease! (Then again, that may be the result of oily lids rather than cosmetic inefficiency.) The one thing that would keep me from buying again would the be price, especially after researching high-end "dupes" with the same color and quality for much cheaper.
