Naked Smoky Palette Review!

 
Hello Beauties!
Its the moment you've all been waiting for! Urban Decay has finally released a brand new naked palette!
The Naked Smoky palette has been the biggest thing in make up news for the past month! And I have made a  review for you with my honest opinion to let you guys know the real deal when it comes to this palette. 
Its called the Naked Smokey pallets because it is designed to create the perfect Smokey eye. There are both light and dark shades in the palette. This gives you the option to use darker and lighter colors to create a Smoky but blended effect.

This Palette has 12 shadows with a mixture of both matte, satin, and shimmery finishes. It also comes with a double sided brush, with one end as a pencil and one as a blending. This palette retails for $52.
 


 
These are top quality eye shadows! Every single color is highly pigmented, non-powdery, and creates a beautiful look. They are easy to blend, and you receive a good amount of product for each color.

This palette also has a very large mirror which is helpful if you need to travel with the palette.
 
 
 The design of the palette is also very cool, it is a light grey color with dark grey swirls and wisps of color to give in the look of smoke inside. It has an almost marbled effect.
The palette closes with a magnetic closure which I am a big fan of because if you don't close the palette all the way, you don't have to worry about trying to pop open like other palettes would.
Also the back of the pallets is dark grey with more dark grey swirls. It is a plastic material and is see through which gives it a cool hazy effect.
 
One final thing included with the Naked Smoky Palette is a step by step guide on how to create four different smoky looks. This is great for beginners, or people who aren't as experienced in creating Smokey eyes. The looks also range from extremely wearable to very dramatic.
 
I love the variety of this palette, originally when I heard Urban Decay was creating a Naked smoky palette I was worried that would be a palette full of varying shades of black and grey. They really knocked this one out of the park though, the palette includes highlights, blending colors, and of course the classic dark colors that create the iconic look.
 
I hope you guys give this palette a try because I highly recommend it. Let me know in the comments what you think if you do have it and what are some of your favorite colors from the palette.
Best Wishes,
Heather
