Urban Decay Naked Palette 2 review + how to spot a fake!


 Urban Decay Naked Palette 2!

Plus how to spot a fake!






Here is what the palette looks like from the packet. The actual packaging is metal and a rose gold colour. The packing is much more protective then the original. It wont break easily or be damaged from water.


Now to the colours!

Overall I love the colours in the palette. My only downfall is it could have done with a few more matte colours. I find the colours have good pigmentation. And If you love shimmer, there is no shortage!

The first four colours have warm undertones and involve one matte colour.
Foxy: A matte beige colour. It is a good highlight colour, especially if the rest of your eye make-up is on the shimmery side. 
Half baked: An extremely shimmery gold colour, very pigmented. It is also in the original Naked palette.
Bootycall: Another good highlight colour or, an all over colour with winged eye-liner, and bold lips. It is quite shimmery.
Chopper: A beautiful copper shimmer colour.










The next for are quite neutral colours. Tease is the only mate in this section.
Tease: A soft matte brown. It looks more pink in the photo then it really is.
Snakebite: A shimmery bronze colour. For some reason I love this colour!
Suspect: Another shimmer gold colour, but it does not have as much yellow as half baked.
Pistol: A shimmery colour that is a cross between a gunmetal and silver. Very pigmented. 

First four colours. Sorry tease didn't show
as much as I would have liked




The next four colours are on the cooler side of the scale. Blackout being the only matte.
Verve: A very shimmery silver white.
YDK: My favourite colour! It is a like a shimmery rose gold colour!
Busted:  A dark shimmery brown. It doesnt have as much glitter as some of the other shimmery colours.
Blackout: A matte black





 And you get a mini lip junkie in naked! It is a sheer gloss in a light pink :) It is a lot more sheer than the photo.


Now for how to spot a fake!!

Fakes of this product are everywhere on ebay so here is a quick guide to spot the difference!

1. They do not come with the mini lip junkie.
2. They come in a gold colour box, not the box with a clear cover
3. There are no names underneath the colours
4. The colours are off so compare with photos!
5. The actual package is warmer in colour to the real one
6. They use a sticker on the back where it says "beauty with an edge"

If you are buying on ebay look out for the following things:
1. Whether it is money back if the product is not real
2. If they take the photo of the product or is it a stock photo. From experience, those with a stock photo are quite often fake. This was combined with no guarantee of authenticity.
3. DO NOT rely on feedback, many don't know the product is fake.
4. DO email the seller
