Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette Review + Swatches

UD Naked Heat Palette

 

Happy Friday Guys! We have a smoldering review today that’s gonna get your temperatures rising. Everyone’s talking about this and it seems like it doesn’t disappoint. If you’re a fan of eyeshadows, be it in neutrals, earthy, or shimmers, and if you love Urban decay, oh well, I know you’re gonna love this newly-released Naked Heat Palette ($54). It’s the fifth installment to the ever popular “Naked” line of eyeshadows by Urban Decay.

 

Urban Decay Naked Heat

It all started with the first Naked eyeshadow that got us all head over heels in love (reviewed HERE). It was then followed by the insanely famous Naked 2, then the rosรฉ all day Naked 3, and for the smoky-eye fanatics, a Naked Smoky was released. I love them all and I try not to use up all of them because they all look so pretty and practical to have, specially during special occasions or when you’re traveling. It’s like you’ve got all the shades you’ll ever need in one palette with a free dual-ended multipurpose brush and a wide-angle mirror. I also love that each Naked palette comes in different packaging styles.

The Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette follows the impressive formulation and saturated pigment of its predecessors. Such bold colors in one beautiful palette. It has 12 shades which consist of browns, ambers, terra -cottas, brown reds, coppers, and burgundies. Texture-wise, there are shimmery ones and matte ones. Also, there are a few light to neutral shades as well. I like all the matte colors like; Low Blow, Cayenne, He Devil & En Fuego. The shimmery shades are beautiful too, like the Lumbre, Dirty Talk & Scorched. As a matter of fact, all the shades in this palette are really hot and sultry.

Another thing I wanna point out is that the colors don’t have a lot of fallouts and they’re pretty much well-curated. The colors are unique, wearable and easy to blend. Each shade complements each other and is very versatile. You can either do a natural daytime look or go smoky, whichever you want. In addition to that, the palette looks really good on any skin tone as it adds warmth to a light complexion, or it complements anyone who’s skin tone is medium to dark.

Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette Review

Overall, I think the Naked Heat Palette by UD is well-made and well-thought-out. There’s nothing quite like it. The packaging is sturdy, the brush is soft and practical to have, the wide mirror is just perfect, and the shades are gorgeous and timely for this season. The application is smooth and buttery and each shade blends like a charm. I think Urban Decay did it again with this good value palette.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil Review

Happy Holidays Everyone! Hope y’all are having a great time this holiday season. Speaking of holidays, who wouldn’t want some dramatic holiday eyes? For a long time, I’ve been wanting to update my collection of eyeliners, and I’ve decided to level up my eye drama game by adding some colorful eyeliners in my stash.

I’ve always wanted to try Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils because they seem like a huge favorite in Sephora, both in stores and online. To see what the fuss was all about, I decided to try them in store and guess what? Another love at first swipe. ๐Ÿ™‚ and I was no longer puzzled why these UD 24/7 Glide-On Eyeliners gainedย so much love.

These eye pencils apply smoothly and they don’t budge once set because they’re waterproof. Their soft and creamy consistency allow for a more precise application and can be easily corrected or blended. They’re also extremely pigmented and can be great for creating a natural to dramatic smoky eye look. Most importantly, they come in vast array of colors, I mean vast! totally vast! you want dark brown? medium brown? light brown? gray brown? brown with shimmer? mattes? name it, they have it! OMG, me likey already! ๐Ÿ™‚

So, for a preliminary addition to my stash, I added the shades that I’ll need for eye contouring and highlighting, like:

 

I also had my eye on Heartless (light frosted pink), but that’s for the next episodeย of my Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil hoarding. Hmmp!

Verdict: These are amazing eyeliners that work like super expensive designer eyeliners (Hello Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof) but for a fraction of the price. I can’t say anything bad about these eyeliners because for me, they’re almost perfect, except that, you’re gonna need to carry a sharpener with you at all times. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

Enjoy your holidays everyone!
