Urban Decay Smoky Palette

There's A New Palette In Town

Urban Decay Smokey Eye Palette

      Over the last five years, Urban Decay has created a line of eye shadow palettes which include a wide range of neutral shades such as taupe, bronze and warm rosy neutrals. In 2010, Urban Decay introduced the Naked Palette which included twelve neutral shades which includes sin (champagne with a touch of pink), darkhorse (a deep dark chocolate) and naked ( a medium beige-brown). The palette was introduced at $44.00. Over the years, Urban Decay palettes have become extremely popular and because of this the newest palette on the scene, after a very successful five years and now six total palettes later, Urban Decay has introduced it's newest addition and hottest commodity, Naked Smoky ($54). 

      Naked Smoky includes its signature twelve shades which are, High (champagne shimmer w/micro-glitter), Dirtysweet (medium bronze), Radar (metallic taupe w/iridescent micro-glitter), Armor (metallic silver-taupe w/tonal sparkle), Slanted (light metallic gray), Dagger (medium charcoal w/micro-shimmer), Black Market (jet-black satin), Smolder (deep plum-taupe), Password (cool taupe matte), Whiskey (rich brown matte), Combust (soft pink-taupe) and Thirteen (light beige satin). The palette includes a double-sided eye shadow brush, which is designed to shadow the cease and create a wide variety of smoky eyes whether the classic smoky eye, supermodel smoky eye or smoky eye appropriate for the office, and the palette includes a mirror. Naked Smoky also includes a witty case with a feature of smoke to enhance the idea of the smoky eye. 

      Naked Smoky was created entirely for that fashionable, exhilarating smoky eye. Unlike the Naked Palettes 1, 2 and 3 which offer only shades of neutral tones, the smoky palette steps out of the natural comfort zone to bring color from different hues such as bronzes, mattes, blacks and grays, taupe's and even eggplant. Also creating originality, Naked Smoky doesn't range from lightest to darkest but from matte shades to shimmer shades. Founder Wende Zomnir says "For most smoky-eye kits, when you get the tutorial card, they are usually three steps to a smoky eye. I'm calling bullshit on that — there are like 15 steps to a great smoky eye", "if you do three steps, it's either too harsh or too muddy." So in other words, this is THE Smoky eye palette to have to get the perfect smoky eye look. 

Naked Smoky hit stores near the end of the Summer months and is looking more and more like a great add on a Christmas list.
