A Standout Shadow Palette

Finding a great makeup palette is like winning a whole new wardrobe. Urban Decay’s Naked Palette ($48) allows you to reinvent yourself a million times over. Well, maybe I’m exaggerating but you get the point. Sunlight and moonlight, bold and neutral, cool tones and warm tones, fall to spring, it covers all the bases. It’s universally flattering with gorgeous mattes, shimmers and metallics. The twelve different shades have kept me busy mixing and matching. It seems dauntingly large, but the palette is actually very easy to navigate—you really can’t mess it up. The colors are intended to give a “naked” look, but I’ve come up with some pretty glam creations. Here are a few of my go-to combos: 1. Everyday pretty: define crease and lower lash line with “Naked” and then apply a coat of “Sidecar” to the middle of the lid. The shimmer in “Sidecar” adds a beautiful, creamy brightness to eyes. It looks put together, yet low-key. 2. Rich and bold (left eye): cover entire lid with “Toasted” and define crease with “Hustle,” sweeping it just slightly beyond outer corners. Then, define upper and lower lash line with “Darkhorse.” The purple undertones bring out my green eyes and it’s a more done-up look without looking totally evening. 3. Midnight glam (right eye): From inner to outer corner, lash line to crease, cover entire lid with “Gunmetal.” Then, apply “Creep” to outer corners and sweep it upward just past the crease. Use the excess on the brush to define the crease. Finish with black liner on upper and lower lash lines. The lightest shade, “Virgin,” is a great highlighter for any look. And, if you don’t feel like mixing and matching, that’s totally fine. Each shadow looks beautiful on its own — especially “Half Baked,” which makes a statement and brightens eyes instantly. An extra bonus: the 12 colors also come with a high-quality brush and Urban Decay’s cult-favorite eye shadow primer. (posted by TBG intern Cody)
