Urban Decay Naked 1 vs. Naked 2 Palette Dupes & Comparison Swatches

Urban Decay Naked 1 vs. Naked 2 Palette Dupes & Comparison Swatches

  • Foxy doesn’t have any comparable shades in Naked 1.
  • Half Baked is a repeat from Naked 1, so yes, there is a dupe–in fact, it’s 100% the same!
  • Booty Call is a peachier version of Virgin (Naked 1), but they’re really, really close. It’s just slightly warmer.
  • Chopper is more orange than Sidecar (Naked 1); I wouldn’t say they’re dupes, but they’re not totally different.
  • Tease doesn’t have any dupes, because it’s matte, so it doesn’t really appear the same as contenders like Sin and Toasted (both from Naked 1).
  • Snakebite is not as golden as Smog (Naked 1), but it’s nowhere near as dark as Darkhorse (Naked 1); however, if you mix both Smog and Darkhorse together, you get something rather similar.
  • Suspect is just a little more beige compared to Sidecar (Naked 1).
  • Pistol doesn’t have any comparable shades in Naked 1.
  • Verve doesn’t have any comparable shades in Naked 1.
  • YDK looks pretty similar to both Sidecar and Toasted (both from Naked 1), and Sidecar is closer.
  • Busted is very, very similar to Hustle (Naked 1); at best, it might be a little less red-toned. It’s not like Darkhorse (Naked 1), though.
  • Blackout doesn’t have any comparable shades in Naked 1.

See comparison swatches!

presley 5 pts

i cant deside what one a want i have reddy brownish hair normal skin tone and grey blue eye what one would you thnk would be better for me ?

If you had to choose just one, which would you choose?

Hey Christine, your blog is awesome! This post especially was super helpful. And I realize I'm a little late to be jumping the gun, but I think I found a cheaper dupe of Chopper. (Which is my favorite shade here, based on your swatches.) But anyway, the potential is L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Amber Rush. It's a loose eyeshadow with a similar shade and finish, but it's missing the micro-glitter. Just FYI :) Thanks for the awesome blog!

I don't have the first one so this seems nice... though I want the new palette from smashbox with the pretty pastels O 3O <3

hey just wondering which of these you'd say is more of a necessity? can't decide at all!!

hi, I don't have either the naked palette one or two. and I am soo confused which one to buy.. so christine,, which one would you buy if you didn't have either. one or two ? I have an indian skin tone,, not too fair, not dark . and i like more of shimmery shades. please suggest. I also like bobby brown's bronze eyeshadow/bronzer set. which one should i go for? thanks, jyoti

Hi! your post is great but which one do you think is better? I don´t have neither of them (they are not available in my country) and a friend is bringing me one. which one should i choose??? Thanks!!!

Thank you so much for the swatches! I've been planning on buying the first Naked palette for a few months now, but now that Naked 2 is out, I'm not sure which palette to get anymore (I'm leaning towards the first one, but it's quite warm and also, I love Verve, so I keep changing my mind) I was wondering if I could ask - which palette do you think would be more suited to NC20-25 Asian skin? :)

Will probably go for that one then! Thanks so much <3

I was interested in purchasing one of the Naked palettes. Which one would you recommend?

Honestly, I can't justify spending another $50 on a very similar palette. There looks to be only about two very different shades from the original palette. After seeing your swatches, thanks by the way, I'll just keep enjoying what I have. The original is gorgeous and if ever I need a black shade, I'm sure I could find a good one without spending $17. I have my eye on the Loreal HIP in platinum duo, which is a gorgeous silver and black combo at a great price on Amazon. Still thinking on it. :)

plz help me that which palette shud i buy.i am an asian, have a medium dark skin tone. n black eyes.so shud i get palette1 or 2

Hi, I would really appreciated if you can help me to decide what palette is best for me Naked or Naked 2 ???? My hair is dark blonde and I have dark blue eyes, pale pink skin. Thanks 4 your time!!! =)

i'm sorry, i hadn't realised you had another review of the naked2. i've already read it and know that the most similar colour you could find is mac quarry. thank you and sorry!!

Hi, I was just wondering if you had to choose between the 2 palettes, which one would you choose? Naked 1 or 2? Thanks!

I loved seeing the colors from different palettes side by side. Thanks for posting this! I like the original a teeny bit better but it really is a close call. I like that the original has more warm colors. I like to use warm and darker colors for smoky looks. If you don't want to spend the $98 for both, do what I do and ask for sephora gift cards for christmas and your bday :)

Sooooo love the colors, kinda sucks how they reused some of the colors, but hey, i totally wouldn't mind having more of it since i use it so frequently. lol question though, is Naked 2 permanent for the urban decay line? that way i know i really dont have to fight someone in the store for it. i signed up for the email list when it restocks but by the time i get it it sells out sooooo quickly lol.

Hello Christine! If you were to get only one of the naked palettes, which one would you prefer?

I own the first naked palette. I like the second naked palette but i can't decide if i want it or not. would you recommend it?

Do you prefer the Naked palette or the Naked palette 2?

I think the color bootycall, chopper, snakebite, and YDK looks EXACTLY the same with the colors in Naked 1. Is it possible that they only rename the shadows?

Oh so the quality of the shadows is different? Oh btw I love your blush section. What nars blushes do u recommend for everyday? My skintone is like nc30-35

Hey! I just wanted to say I love your website first of all! But I am having trouble picking which palette to get! They both seem very nice but I didn't know which would compliment my skin tone the best. I am Asian but a lot of people tend to think I'm Hispanic or South American because of my tan skin. They both look very similar but I need help on deciding which will compliment me the best... Thank you very much for the in depth review to this product! I am in LOVE with Urban Decay's shadows but as you can tell I'm very torn about which palette I should choose! LOL thanks :)

So....for someone who doesn't have the first naked, which would you recommend? I'm leaning towards naked 2. :)

I prefer Naked 1, but I prefer great quality over just good.

I prefer the original but they're both amazing. If you like cool taupe tones go for 2, if you prefer warm toned colors def get the original. A couple of naked 2's colors don't show well on me- like foxy doesnt show and booty call is so light I can only use it as a high light. With those complaints aside, I adore naked 2.

What would you recommend if I dont have either palette. I have olive colored skin and wanted to purchase either naked 1 or 2.

Naked 1 would work, Jody!

Wow... it's like they shuffled the colors around to make it look like it was a completely new product! I'd like to look at them in person and think I might pick one with a gift card I received, not sure which... but thanks for helping with the comparisons!

Your review was great! The comparison really helped in my decision. There are so many similar colors that I find that it's just not worth it. I would've like to see the 2nd compliment the first. If there is a matte coming out, I'll just wait for that. I also wish that they kept the potion with it.

So happy to help you out! :D

I like that you swatched Half-Baked from both palettes! Haha... seriously, this is the best Naked vs Naked2 review I've seen. Thank you for swatching the similar colors--just eyeballing the palettes raises a lot of dupe questions but seeing them like this really helps! Everyone that owns the original Naked wants to know if Naked2 is worth getting too. With the exceptions of Pistol and Busted, I would say no. But if I didn't have either, I would pick Naked2.

Thanks a lot, Christine!

Love new palette but can see many similar colours. Cant see the pictures of inside the palette. Please put up if you have. Thank you.

Hello Ladies and Gentleman, I do not post many comments but I do appreciate the kind work of Christine she places so much effort in keeping this blog up to date with so much in the beauty world. I have a lot of make up and purchased the First Naked palette 2 weeks ago. On a personal level I had to get real with my make up purchases and really use all from my make up.A year ago I made a decision to start rotating all of my make up systematically so that I looked up all of my products which meant all of the things I may have only used once or twice. It's therapeutic in a way as it feels as though someone has brought you a present. That is why I have only just purchased the first palette.I have found this palette compliments a matt professional palette which I also use.I have learnt how to mix basic shades to make certain shades.I think Christine will agree that if you get creative with some basic shades you leave a lot to the imagination.Ladies, really have a look at what you have get creative as you can mix so so much before you part with your money in these hard times. Finally, Christine, you do a wonderful review and put your heart and soul in to every thing. So although I may not leave many comments I do read them all. Warm regards to all of you and I wish you all content and happiness during Christmas and throughout the New Year!

Thank you so much, Phoebe! Happy holidays :)

Honestly, Pistol and Foxy are the only shades I'm interested in. My downfall is that I am such a UD junkie that I buy literally all palettes just to have them.

i am going to buy first time UD naked eyeshadow ..please you guide me which one is more nicer color either naked 1 or 2 ..please help me i canot buy 2 plattes...my pocket dont allow me :D
