Moving forward, a few days back I've updated on my Instagram that I was attending the Urban Decay Naked Smoky/ Smokey Eyeshadow Palette launch in Sephora Ion store. When I stepped in, I received a beautiful Urban Decay ribbon and the Urban Decay cupcake! So cute! Then, I rushed in to look at the products themselves- too excited and cannot contain it!
Kim, a makeup artist with Urban Decay flew in to Singapore just to oversee the release of their new products and gave us a demo. All the way, I couldn't take my eyes off the model's lippie- so smooth, so matte! Alongside the launch of their eyeshadow palette, they also launched their Brow Mascara/ Browcara and 9 new irresistible shades of their Revolution Matte Lipsticks.

The eyeshadows are very different from the previous 3 styles and this time, they have positioned the shades very clearly in 3 different finishes- Shimmer, Satin and Matte. From what I see, a very clever user-friendly style made for 3 different occasions (I have highlighted them out for easy referencing)! Although they are an array of light to dark and matte to shimmer finishes, I feel that these colours lean more towards the cooler end. This however, was what I expected the Naked 2 Palette to be, being that the current naked 2 palette is so much so similiar to the Naked Palette.
The colours are really pigmented as you can tell from the picture, and when applied, it has lesser fall out than the most recent Naked 3 Palette. To the touch, they feel drier as well; perhaps a change in eyeshadow formulation?

How beautiful are they? To be honest, the consistency and finishes of these are one of the best I have tried on my lips- ever, with the exception of Blackmail. Some of the colours are exceptionally well formulated, the product itself acted as a lipliner which dries and fixated on my lips- there were no budging and no feathering for me. Guess which colours are my favourite?
I hope this post and its content are helpful for you! I'm a UD 0.5~1.0 skintone for reference purposes.
Let's end with a selfie with my favourite colour in this collection. Guess which colour? ;]
