Urban Decay launches Naked Ultimate Basics Palette

Published: 2016-08-16 by Marina Milojević in Makeup

The famous makeup brand Urban Decay has launched yet another sequel to its best-selling Naked Palette saga. This time, the L’Oréal-owned brand is unveiling Naked Ultimate Basics, a gorgeous palette of 12 neutral matte eyeshadows.

The Naked franchise started six years ago, and today it counts no less than seven different palettes: Naked, Naked2, Naked3, Naked Basics, Naked2 Basics, Naked Flushed and Naked Smoky. All of them are still available for purchase at Sephora.com. The latest addition to the range, the Naked Ultimate Basics Palette is said to be inspired by the art of going naked! This heavily anticipated neutral matte palette has been revealed a couple of days ago, in a special promotional video.

This time, the palette is housed in a luxurious gold-colored square-shaped case decorated with a starburst motif. As you can see, it is quite different from the usual rectangular Naked packaging. In addition to the 12 shades, there is also a full-size mirror, and double-ended brush inside the case. In the United States, the palette will be released on September 18th, 2016, and it comes with a price tag of $55.00 USD. All of the shades are matte, except one demi-matte shade, which can be used for strobing. The formula remains the same – it is delicately soft and creamy, and very easy to blend.
