I freaking love this! The eyeshadow colours are SO pretty and the texture of them is great. (not extremely powdery/chalky) The eyeshadows are very pigmented too.

I like this product but it has these colors that are hard to use. Its hard to combine them but i did find a routine anyways the packaging is so bad ! If i bring this on a plane it can open so easily and the makeup could get crushed and this is expensive makeup and i wouldn't want it to get broken like that . I do love the naked 2 though it has nicer colors and it goes on smooth because the naked 1 it didnt show up to good on my lids :( but it is a nice palette, just the packaging, price and not really pigmented :/

Ok, let me start by saying, generally am not a "bandwagon" person when it comes to makeup. And I prefer brighter colors, I'm not much on neutrals, for the most part.
I kept reading all the hype around this palette for a long time before I started to succumb to it & start to feel like I "need" this!
So, I started looking for BAD reviews, lol, but I really couldn't find any. Then, Ulta had a 20% off coupon that was also allowed to be used on their high end side of the store (woo-hoo!) So I finally bought it.
Then I waited over a week before I used it just in case I started to feel buyer's remorse. Every day I would look at it, just dying to use it, but I wouldn't let myself (I know, I sound a little crazy). FINALLY, I used it. OMG, the shadows are so smooth & go on like a dream! The color payoff is fabulous too! Who knew neutrals could be so gorgeous? The brush is pretty decent too, but I prefer a smaller brush. This brush would be better for blending than application.

I really love this palette & would buy it again if I needed to. Would definitely recommend it, for sure. :)

ETA: I edited this to change to 5 lippies after I found out that these shadows are FULL SIZE! So really, when you think of it that way, they aren't even $5.00 a piece! And when you think that UD shadows are something like $16 or so per shadow, this really is a bargain!! And since I was able to get this for $40, I only really paid $3.33 per shadow.

I was so excited to try this palette from all the awesome reviews..but wasnt too pleased with it. the colours have good pigment but you can find cheaper options that give you the same look. Also for the price tag..i expected more. :-(

I have had this for quite some time now as the one I got came with the dual end pencil eyeliners whiskey and zero. What can I say except that the eyeshadows are top notched: very buttery and pigmented and of couse beautiful. The only con I have about it is the packaging, as the faux fur gets dirty very easily.

Will I repurchase it? Probably no as I have way too many eyeshadows and the eyeshadows can be easily duplicated by other brands. UD products are also expensive in Singapore. This palette now costs $80. This is the only naked palette I have as I cannot justify buying any more neutral palettes and I actually prefer my Lorac pro palette over this for travelling as its thinner.

Why I took so long to buy this palette is beyond me! I am in LURVE! Pigmentation, color payoff, shadow quality, all excellent! Love that it comes with a small tube of UDPP and a fairly decent brush. I can see how the packaging could get tattered over time, but really, as long as the shadows are in tact, that's what matters. Even though it's $50, it's worth it and I would definitely purchase again.

I absolutely love this palette!! I like the variety of neutral colors because you can make many different looks from them. The pigmentation of the shadows is outstanding, especially when using a primer! They last all day for me and look great. I'm very happy with this purchase and I know I'll be using it a lot.

I was really late to hop onto the Urban Decay bandwagon, I don't like to just buy a palette because it's new and there's a lot of talk around the beauty community about it.

I already had the Naked 2 palette, which I use quite often and love, but I was still really keen to get my hands on the original, because of the more warm tones of the shadows which I feel would compliment the undertones of my skin (I have warm undertones).

I really love this palette - I feel like the two matte brown shades make it way more complete than the Naked 2.
The quality of the shadows is phenomenal - wouldn't expect anything less from UD, but still, just great.
I really need shadows to last all day, and these definitely live up to my all-day expectations!

Also worth noting that the consistency of every shade is just so smooth, and doesn't make my very dry eye area/eyelids feel dry, which is excellent.

Taking points off for the lack of accessibility, and for the packaging - I live in Australia and so I had to buy it online. Also the one I got was a bit sloppy in make, the names of the shadows are cut off by the shadow pans. But other than that, A+!

I loved it! I use different brushes, and wet brushes and with primer it stays forever and colors are truly brilliant, I use it for my eyebrows too. You can get day look and night look with this pallette

Although I gave this product 4 stars and I think it will greatly suit someone and I like quality of eyeshadows, but.. I only used 4 colors on everyday basis. so for me it would be better to but it separately. I used light color to highlight and there was medium brown there I used for eyebrows, one with a little purple in it I really liked for dark contouring... I like the quality and how it blends but i wish I would use most of the colors... not buying a pallette again

I bought this as a gift to self present recently, but sadly I am in the minority with this one and had to return it. I do have VERY oily lids, which is the likely culprit that caused my unhappiness with this product. Overall, the shadows were super pigmented and I loved the color selection (though maybe a pinkish nude would have been nice to add rather than some of the whiter shades). They applied nicely too and would last forever as you did not have to use much of the shadow to get a strong color payoff. The accompanying brush was just ok. The problem I had was that even trying different eyeshadow primers, the color simply did not last for me. I either had extensive creasing or the color smudged arond my eyes throughout the day. For those with drier lids, I can see where this would be a fantastic palette, but, it just was not for me.

I love this pallet, it can truly be used everyday for neutral to bold looks. I find the shadows are pigmented but all seem to have fall out, and the more shimmery and glittery, the more they seem to flake. This doesn't take away from the pallet just something to know before applying. Over all UD shadows are high quality, they blend easy and I have used this pallet many many times and still haven't hit pan on any of the shades. In my opinion well worth the money.

I love this palette! It's amazing and for the price it's actually a great value considering the pigmentation and quality of the shadows. Most of the shadows are shimmery and only 2 are matte. I think this is best for warm toned skin. I wish there was a few more mattes that were darker but other than that it's a great palette, a must have I believe. Stopped me from purchasing a ton of single shadows from another brand. It practically has everything you need. Neutrals are wonderful and never look bad so I encourage anyone to get this!

If I could only use one eyeshadow palette for the rest of my life, it would be this one. Cannot say enough good things about it! There is a fantastic range of colors and finishes, so you can create anything from a neutral matte eye for work to a dark shimmery smoky eye for night. The color payoff is fantastic -- I have tan South Asian skin & sometimes have a problem with getting eyeshadow colors to show up if I don't use a white base underneath, but most of these colors show up great (although Virgin & Sin do require some building up before they show up as much as I want them to). The shadows also blend beautifully without blending into one another too much and getting muddy. I've noticed a little undereye/cheek fallout from the shimmery colors, but nothing that can't be brushed away easily. The price is high, but you get a lot of product (plus a primer and a decent shadow brush - not the throwaway kind that comes with many palettes). I don't think it will be running out anytime soon, but if it ever does, I would definitely buy it again!

This is my absolute favorite eye shadow palette. I will keep buying this again & again. Though luckily it seems to last a very long time for me. In my opinion, neutral eye shadow is the way to go. You can create many different looks using this palette. Beautiful colors, & very versatile.

I absolutely lovvveeee my Naked palette. I more so use the first half of the palette because I enjoy subtle smokey eyes oppose to the intense black or dark shadows. If anything, I like to use the dark shadows to smoke out my lower lash line. My favs are def Virgin (inner tear duct) and Naked (transition/crease). The shadows are so buttery and smoothe, def top notch quality.

The quality of these shadows far surpasses the rest of Urban Decay's. I have multiple UD palettes, and while I like them, most of the colors are quite ho hum in terms of finish and pigmentation. Not these babies! Smooth, rich, pigmented. True to pan. My current HG brow shade (Hustle), as well as great colors for either a neautal look or a great smokey eye. The only think missing is a good matte black/gray. I reach for this alot more than I thought I would. It really has given me an appetite for more neutral looks. And now I want Naked2...

I absolutely love this product. I'm always on the search for a duo or quad that I can use on a daily basis for a natural look, and this is the only thing I'll ever need! I love having a variety of colors in easy packaging, and the quality of the shadows is excellent. Some of the shimmers have more fallout than I'd like (especially compared to the matte neutrals), but it isn't enough to deter me from using them.

The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the brush. I experience a LOT more fallout when using it, as I didn't feel the shadow was really adhering to the brush. I ended up using one of my Sephora brushes and haven't had a problem. The brush provided is really soft, but just not up to the best quality.

Was very sceptical about buying this due to the price and I worried that it was going to be overrated.
However, I love this product especially after watching lots of tutorials on YouTube. Many of which the channel owners cannot praise this palette enough.

The shades complement my light eyes and fair skin perfectly and are subtle enough to wear as a natural look when going to school/college.
For a night out, it is easy to make your eyes pop by blending a few colours together - this product can be used day or night.

The mini primer is a god send because shadows usually slide off my lids due to them being oily.

Definitely recommend as it is so versatile with the look you can produce.
