Naked2 Basics from Urban Decay
I’ve been wondering if they were going to pull this for a long time, and they have – Urban Decay is coming out with a second, “basics,” palette – Naked2 Basics!
Because they like to repeat themselves (consistency isn’t a bad thing) Naked and Naked Basics were “warm,” neutral palettes, so Naked2 and the newly-minted Naked2 Basics are, “cool.” Rather than being all-matte, one shade (Skimp) features a slight satin finish, allegedly to help with highlighting.
Although I had zero interest in getting Naked Basics (despite my love of warm neutrals), I am actually somewhat interested in Naked2 basics – I don’t have as many cooler neutrals, and I can actually do more with a taupe-neutral than I can a tan one…on my skin, anyway. I also love that the palette doesn’t come with yet another freaking black. I have enough black eyeshadow to last ten years. Dark brown, however, I don’t have many of, and could use the heck out of.
I won’t be buying as soon as it drops, but it is definitely on my wishlist – hopefully I will obtain it by the holidays. I wonder if they will come out with a rose-hued matte, Naked3 Basics..?
How about you? Are you another Urban Decay / Naked loyalist, eager to leap on the opportunity? Are you a neutral-hoarder? (It’s okay, this is a safe place.) Or are you over the neutrals? If so, what do you want instead?
Naked2 Basics will be available directly from UrbanDecay.com starting August 19 (just under a week!) for $29.
I already love the Naked Basics very much, however I think the second one is even better than the first! As you said, especially the dark brown is really genius and seems very wearable.
I am definitely a self-confessed i-need-another-neutral-palette-like-a-whole-in-my-head neutral hoarder! Hahaha. Personally, I haven’t considered the UD Naked 2 because I prefer warm neutrals, but you do have a good argument there. The taupey nature of this palette is quite useful. I wouldn’t know if I’d buy this particular one (rather of a cheapskate), but I’d prolly find someone close enough to it. :)
Errr. I-need-another-neutral-palette-like-a-*HOLE*-in-my-head, I mean. My mistake bugged me. Haha
