Urban Decay’s Naked Palettes are my ultimate, hands-down FAVORITE eyeshadow palettes. If you have no idea where to start with makeup and colors and shadows, or even if you’re a makeup junkie like me . . . these are must-have. In each one you’ll get highly pigmented neutral colors that are coordinated perfectly to help you create anything from a basic daytime look to a smoldering smokey eye. The brush that comes with them is a favorite shadow brush as well . . . a tool that usually costs another $30. I thought tutorials featuring each one of the palettes would be helpful for those of you who may find yourself with a palette but no idea how to use it. (You’re not alone . . . I bought a palette for one of my friends who let it go unused for almost a year because she didn’t know what to do with it . . . yikes! Rach, this one’s for you.) 🙂
In this first tutorial, I’ll be focusing on the original Naked palette. I created a look that can be a daytime or nighttime look . . . and reviewed the highlight and contouring basics from my HAC post. For other makeup tips and tricks, head to our beauty section or stick around to get this chic day to night look.

Thanks for the tutorial! I’d love to see a tutorial on the Dos and Don’ts of makeup for wrinkles.
Gorgeous! You inspire me to do more with my makeup!
How would you suggest choosing your first naked palette? Is there one you think all beginners need? Or is it totally preference?
That was amazing. Thank you!
I have the second palette, so I’d love to see a tutorial with the next one as well!
i love Urban Decay products,and already own some of the colors from the palette in the individual size. This tutorial was very helpful. I wanted to know if there was a way to use just a couple of colors, less steps, for an easy everyday look?
Thank you for the awesome tutorials! I love how you make it seem easy, even to a makeup newbie like myself. A few questions…do you suggest always doing the eyes before applying foundation/concealer? Or just with this look? I have olive skin and have been using a bronzer for contouring. Would that work with this look?
Do you have any tips on dealing with the fallout from the Naked eyeshadow palettes? I have Naked 2 and it gets all over my face when applying. Thanks for your help! 🙂
