Naked Palette!

 I'm probably the worst blogger in the world, I haven't written a blog post in nearly 2 months and I'm really sorry but it's not like my posts are in high demand or anything. I've been finding it really hard to think of things to blog about because I haven't bought any new products or seen any new movies or anything so that's one reason for being absent, the other being I've just sort of forgotten that I had a blog *awkward*. I was thinking of doing a summer essentials post but I don't really have any products that I've found essential during summer other then sun cream but I've been using the Urban Decay Naked Palette a good bit so I'm going to share my thoughts and some of the looks I like to do with it, so let's crack on!
 I don't think I've ever heard anything bad said about the Naked Palette, and I know a lot of people have it. It's just such a great palette to have in your make up collection. It has 12 different eye shadows in the palette ranging from light to dark colours. Most of the eye shadows are shimmery but they're are two matte colours in the palette and they're both  really nice browns. All the eye shadows have great pigmentation and are really good quality and they all go really well together so you can create so many different looks with this palette from everyday neutral looks to very dramatic night time looks and everything in between. When you buy the palette it comes with a brush and a little Urban Decay Primer Potion which I think is amazing, I get very oily lids and if I don't use a base or a primer the eye shadow creases after about 5 minutes and the Primer Potion makes my eye shadow last all day and it doesn't move at all! I can't remember exactly how much the palette cost when I bought it but it wasn't any more then €50 which is quite a good price when you think about how many eye shadows you're getting and how good quality they are. So I think the Naked Palette is something everyone should have in their makeup collection.
 The only bad thing about the Naked Palette is that there are so many different colours and looks to pick from that sometimes I get overwhelmed and can't choose what makeup to do! All the looks I create with the palette are pretty simple but look really nice, all the colours compliment each other really well to create really nice combinations of colours that make the eyes stand out and looks really nice. Before I create any makeup look I put a little bit of the Primer Potion over my lid and blend it out with my finger, then I wait a minute for it to set before starting with the eye shadow. When using the Primer Potion you only need a tiny bit because it blend out really well so a little goes a long way. If I'm in a huge rush I will literally just but "Sin" all over my lid and just blend it out with a bit of 'Naked" then line my lash line with some gel eyeliner and add loads of mascara which I do with most of these looks. If I've got time I like to brush "Sin" all over the lid, then add some "Dark Horse" to the outer corner and blend it out and into the crease a bit then I'll place some "Creep" on the very outer corner and blend that out as well. "Virgin" is a really great highlight colour so I'll place that in the inner corner of my eye and maybe on the brow bone. For a really dramatic look, I like to use "Hustle" and place that all over the eye and blend it out really well, then I'll use a little bit of "Creep" in the outer corner and blend that like crazy as well. I like to get a little bit of "Naked" on a blending brush and blend out the edges of my eye shadow to make sure that it's blended really well because I don't think it looks good at all when there are just harsh lines in a makeup look, I think it looks so much more put together and neater when the edges are blended really well. So they're three looks I like to create with the Naked Palette but, like I said, you can make so many different looks with this palette and if you're like me and get overwhelmed and don't know what kind of looks to make there are so many good tutorials on YouTube, so if you click here it will link you to loads of great tutorials using the Naked Palette.
