Naked2 Eyeshadow Palette from Urban Decay Cosmetics

I already have a ton of eyeshadow but I can't help it when I come across a beautiful compact. When I saw this new eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay, I had to get it. It is a beautiful sequal to the original Naked eyeshadow palette. This gorgeous set consists of a dozen pigment-rich taupe and gray-beige neutrals, plus, they added five exclusive, new shades.


You can't go wrong with any of these colors. Since they're neutral, they work for women who look good in cool or warm tones. Love, love, love this palette! The brushes that are provided are ok, but not great for precise application. I always use my own brushes because I just like how my eyeshadow goes on with them, plus I'm use to my them.

With 12 colors in the palette, you can create so many different looks.  All of the colors go well together and blend very well too.  I love Urban Decay and this palette is incredible!  The quality is great and so is the price.  This compact is in high demand though, so get one before they're all gone!
