Urban Decay Naked Heat is a gorgeous 12-shade palette filled with amber-hued neutrals. Though I think the word “neutrals” is used a bit loosely here since there are a few shades I might not consider to be neutrals BUT if you think about it in terms of the shades being ones that work on a wide range of skin tones, then yes, neutrals. Obviously as with any eyeshadow palette, whether or not you need to get it depends on how often you see yourself using the colors in the palette. In this case the eyeshadow colors will look amazing on virtually any skin tone so it’s not that it wouldn’t look good on you, it’s whether you’ll actually like to use the colors and use them often enough to justify the purchase.
Note: I almost always prefer to photograph products BEFORE I swatch, but I hadn’t noticed that my initial photos had questionable focal points until AFTER I had already swatched the palette. So my bad for the finger smudges in these close-ups.
Urban Decay Naked Heat is buttery smooth just like you’d expect with UD palettes. Pigmentation is great, they last well without a primer BUT if you want to ensure all day wear without creasing, make sure you use a primer. The lighter colored neutrals in the palette even have great color payoff and if you have a darker skin tone like mine or darker, you KNOW how troublesome a lot of lighter colored neutrals can be if you find you need them in a look. (In fact the lightest colored neutral in this palette, Ounce, which looks matte in pictures and when you look at it, but it actually swatches like a shimmery light yellow gold).
You can create quite an array of eyeshadow combinations with this palette for both day and night looks. It comes with a double-ended eyeshadow brush and the packaging is quite substantial (aka even a klutz like me likely can’t drop and break this palette…lol). Overall, this is a really awesome palette.
