Definitely Urban Decay Naked 1. If I don’t know what to wear, that’s my default because I can easily create something pretty and flattering with it.
definitely the NAKED palettes, esp. 1 and 2!
Too Faced Naked Eyes (it was one of the first palettes I got and it’s so beautiful and easy to use) or the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette- I used it everyday for the first month and a half I had it! Plus I love to travel with it because it has a ton of colors and the packaging is slim, lightweight, and durable.
Stuck between my Lorac Pro 1 & 2 Palettes. I actually got 2 first, so I think that might be my most used.
Coastal Scents Revealed palette.
That would be my MAC eyeshadow palette…probably not the answer that is expected for this question but I honestly cannot think of any premade palette that I use a lot! 🙂 I like that it is my own curated collection of eyeshadows and I love them all!
NYX Butt Naked “eyes” palette, which is just sooo easy to wear, and I don’t have to think about it! However, since dying my hair a warmer color, I’ve been using the most recent tarte Holiday palette for the last few weeks.
Lorac pro to go palette. Still dab into it, from time to time. The colors are neutral enough, but with great definers and a bit of sparkle, if needed. The blushes and the bronzer are just right for a pick me up
Urban Decay 2 & 3
Too faced semi sweet!
Definitely my Lorac Pro (probably 1 more than 2). I don’t think I’ve gone a day without using at least one color from it.
Clinique On Safari and UD naked original
I was thinking of buying the Clinique on Safari – is it good?
Clinique On Safari is excellent!
It’s between Naked 2 and Too Faced Natural Eyes. Although, I love Naked 1 too!
Urban Decay Naked 3 and Naked Basics 2
Tartelette!!! Finally found a really good matte palette for everyday – Goes on smooth, easily blendable, and great color selection!
My MAC Warm Neutral x15. I love it so much and have created lots of looks with it, from very light to dark smoky eyes.
I agree- I pick up this one the most!
Definitely the Urban Decay Naked Palette as it truly is the most complementary palette for my neutral to warm fair skin and it allows me to create barely there to dramatic eye looks!
I’m doing a “Pan that Palette” challenge, and decided to use the Tarte Rainforest After Dark set. Even though I’ve used it probably 3xs per week since the beginning of the year, I still don’t see of a dip in any of the shadows. So if you’re looking for something that you can use until the end of time, this one definitely fits the bill!
Mine is and old MAC collaboration with Diana Ross. It’s a quad and I use it all the time, it is old but still performs awesome!
Definitely my Naked 2. Tease, Bootycall and Blackout (as liner, or to set liquid liner) are my go to eyeshadows. However, the new Tartelette Palette is quickly becoming my new favorite.
By a huge margin, Urban Decay Naked 1. I’m at the point of repurchasing ’cause I’ve hit pan on so many shades. No other palette comes close.
wow, that’s amazing! can you list some of your favorite combos? i have trouble varying it up!
*Benefit Easiest Nudes – the powder shadows last all day on my oily lids, the pale shades brighten my eyes, the 2 neutral brown shades are so easy to use, goes well with any lip color, it’s very hard to mess up
*UD Naked 1
Urban Decay Naked 3
I rotate palettes a lot, so this isn’t an easy question. Overall, the palette I use the most is a tiny credit card sized lip palette, that I keep refilling from my stash. Any little bits left in tubes or tubs go in there, so I use products up and have a good variety and rotation of colors.
All-in-one: UD Naked On the Run. Blush: Tarte Pin-up blush palette. Eye palette: I rotate these the most. Probably TF Chocolate Bar & recently Semi-Sweet, UD Naked Basics, UD Electric Palette and definitely Tartelette for mattes.
It’s an old Bobbi Brown palette, I think it was called Stonewashed… something?
It contains my go-to tightlining shade, which is really the only one I use in that palette, but I will soon hit the pan on it. I think that shade was called Espresso.
Other than the palette I made myself from Coastal Scents Hot Pots, Makeup Geek, and MAC eyeshadows…It is definitely my Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy Palette! I totally wish I would have gotten a back up! 🙁
I think Anastasia made all her eyeshadows permanent. You can buy them individually or put them in a palette, and the eyeshadows are now in a larger size pan then in the pre-made palettes of hers. 🙂
Urban Decay Vice 2 & 3, Tarina Tarantino Emerald Pretty, Kat von D Sinner and Innerstellar.
I would have to agree, the Urban Decay Original Naked palette is top notch and always one I reach for. A close second would be Too Faced cosmetics Natural Eye Collection. Same idea though as the UD, yummy neutrals!!
A tie for all of my wet’n’wild trios. Almost all of them have a shimmery off-white tone that make for excellent inner tear duct highlights.
Silent Treatment! I’m on my third – I love the bottom purple/taupe color so much that I completely forgive it for shattering every time I hit pan. Wet’n’Wild is so underrated.
LORAC Pro Palette 1 🙂
I have way too many palettes. I wish there was one I used the most! This is so boring, but of all the makeup palettes I have, probably the Naked Basics 1, but I try to switch it up all the time!
Either Urban Decay Naked 3 or Stila in the light! Both are beautiful and work for day and night looks.
Kind of a cliché, but Naked 1. Very easy to use for darker skin tones!
Close second is Too Faced Natural Eyes.I find it has a few shades that supplement what Naked is missing for me. Found I can create two wicked smoky eye looks if I use the dark shade in the last two rows on my lid and use the second shadow in the centre of the lid for dimension. So I’ve been rocking the hell outta that lately!
Smashbox Master Class 3 and my MAC palette of all my favorite shades I put together. The Smashbox palette has such a variety shades that are velvety smooth and blend so nicely. I also love to travel with both of them. Their slim cases are great.
I am really surprised at how much people like the naked palettes….I bought 1 and the fallout was so bad I barely use it (and I’ve tried several application techniques with no luck). I feel like a fairy princess by the end of the day from all the glitter.
Definitely my Lorac Pro Palette. I’ve actually hit pan on one shade and have dips in a few others. It’s my most favorite palette
It’s a toss-up between Naked 1, Naked 2 and Chanel Tisse Rivoli but lately, probably the Chanel quad, though I left it at home because I wasn’t sure how well it would travel and brought Naked 2 with me for travel as I thought it would be the quickest and easiest. At home, I also use a quad of MAC shadows that I made with Charcoal Brown, Mulch, Naked Lunch and All That Glitters.
Wet n Wild Earth Looks Small From Down Here, Chanel Tisse Mademoiselle and Burberry Gold no. 25 get the most use
Urban Decay Pulp Fiction Palette for eyes and the Tarte Rainforest After Dark palette for the bronze, highlight and blush.
Too Faced natural eyes and Tarte Tartlette pallets
Naked 2 with Naked 3 catching up fast.
My Viseart neutral palette- worth every penny! I can do everything with it, including minor contouring and the texture is just so amazing.
Definitely my custom made MAC, Inglot and MUFE palettes. My most used pre-made are UD Naked 2 and Lorac Pro 2.
For me, it’s the Urban Decay Naked 2 and Naked Basics!
Face palette is my Sleek Face Form in Light (I really ask someone into getting my the Fair version, sagepay which they use on the Sleek website still dosn’t like my Visa Chip cards. >_>)
Kat Von D Sinner palette. (:
Believe it or not, my wet and wild metrosexual at night palette. Glad I got two back ups
I was curious so I tried googling wet and wild metrosexual at night and did not get the results I was expecting…. lol.
Lol!
Omg. Lol!
my search skills weren’t as good as yours. i can’t find it 🙁
OMG, hahahaha
Urban Decak Naked palette(original) 🙂
Naked 1. My go to matte palette was Naked Basics 1, but I’ve reaching for the Tartelette palette more and more.
I own so many palettes, I honestly can’t think of one I use the most. Right now it’s between UD Vice 3 and the 2015 Sephora Pantone Marsala palette, but that’s just cause they’re relatively new.
But after seeing these comments, I think I’ll go back and dust off my UD Naked 1 palette.
I am loving the all matte Tartlette eye shadow palette. I love all the colors and there are so many things you can do with this palette. Must I have to say a soft and blendable these shadows are..
ud naked 3. good shades for a pale redhead.
My most used would have to be my urban decay naked basics, because I use it every day along with any other palette I am using. I love to rotate all my other palettes equally.
Urban Decay Naked 3 and UD Vice LTD, this year’s palette.
It would have to be Too Faced Chocolate palette. It has the perfect mix of neutral colors.
Fun question! I use these three all the time: Tom Ford Cocoa Mirage, Dior Cuir Cannage, and the Viseart Neutral Mattes palette. If I had to choose, Cocoa Mirage is the most complete, but I use the Viseart palette with every other eyeshadow I own!
I guess I’ll buy the naked pallette. I can wear eye makeup again, after eyelid surgery, finally on the 18th, so I’ll be having fun determining which one of many, will be my fav!!
I bought the Lime Crime Venus Palette because there was nothing else like it at the time and the colors are so bomb. The only bad part is their reputation is terrible and that purchase caused me to loose hundreds of dollars due to their security fraud, crappy customer service, and all that. It was so not worth it and now I have to worry about identity theft because they allowed all my info to be compromised and the fraud issues are still ongoing for literally thousands of people all the way to today. Like no joke if you check their Facebook page, twitter, and all that you can see hundreds of people who got had just like I did. Best part is the company never even apologized, nor did they acknowledge their part in the scandal. Worst palette I ever bought. Now I just use my loran pro 2 or my melt eyeshadow stacks. I usually don’t get mad about beauty stuff but that just made me mad.
Either Naked 3 or Lorac Pro 1. Though lately I have been having WAY too much fun with my UD Electric Palette.
The Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. It’s the only palette cause I’m fairly new to the eye shadow palette game and I really like it! I like how easy it is to throw together a look!
My Urban Decay Naked2 and the original Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette! They’re my go-to neutral palettes. 🙂
Now that’s a hard one! It is definitely Estee Lauder’s Film Noir – lovely shades of grey. Next would be my Shiseido Snow Shadow – best navy and grey combo ever! That navy is perfect for all navy lovers.
Maquillage True Eyeshadow Palette in BR 722 and Tom Ford Cocoa Mirage!
One graces the eyes with subtle shimmer (I always get compliments when using the Japanese palette) and the other seems to be an all-time fave matte neutral palette.
I think it has to be either Urban Decay’s Naked Basics or Lorac’s Pro to Go
UD Naked 1
Urban Decay Naked or Lancome Golden Frenzy
Im nude palette shopping right now (will be my first nude palette ever, así Iam more into colors). I wish everyone here could have described their skin tone and whether they’re warm or cool toned along with your most used palette choice. . I am warm. Anyway, to answer the question I use UD 16thanniversary.
That would have been a good idea. I’m very fair, neutral undertones. Obviously, UD Electric isn’t nude, but the rest are nudes/neutrals.
My picks were:
All-in-one: UD Naked On the Run. Blush: Tarte Pin-up blush palette. Eye palette: I rotate these the most. Probably TF Chocolate Bar & recently Semi-Sweet, UD Naked Basics, UD Electric Palette and definitely Tartelette for mattes.
My most used palette would be UD Naked 2. I have so many palettes it’s hard to use them all. I also have my favourite MAC combo which us Vex, and Shale with Sketch to darken the outer corner and lower lash line.
Right now it’s Chanel Poesie. I can just slap any of those colors on in any combination and they look great!
I guess it would also have to be the Naked 1 palette followed by Naked Basics 1(although I probably use the latter more often these days). Even if I don’t use them exclusively, there’s always at least one shade I’ll use whether it’s a transition shade, or highlight, etc.
my most used palette the last view month are the contour palette like anastasia and kat von d palette
UD Naked 1. My first purchase was Naked 2 and I loved it. I thought Naked 1 would be too warm for me. But when I got it as a Christmas gift it became inmediately my first choice all the time.
that’s pretty hard considering i have a palette addiction so i have a hoard that i’m constantly trying to rotate through so none get neglected. when i’m stomped for a look though the ones that i fall back most are probably my Lorac Party palette and MUFE Artist palette. i do reach for my UD Naked 2 often but it’s just so i can use Foxy as a highlight/lid neutralizer. Marc Jacobs The Vamp also gets an honorable nod.
Viseart matte pallete, it’s holy grail. Has you perfect transition colors for ANY look
I use my UD Naked 3 palette a lot! And my Smashbox Cherry Smoke palette as well.
Lately it would be the Urban Decay Vice 3 palette; no contest. I wear at least one shade from it every day and I’m addicted to both Sonic and Bondage and really hope they release singles.
Of all time, though? Urban Decay Gypsy Den Face Case. I not only hit pan, but completely used up everything in that palette except the shimmery white shadow. I ended up buying full sizes of three items (Goddess shadow, Mildew shadow, and Gash lipstick). If they brought back this palette as is, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I pray everyday to the Urban Decay goddesses that they will release the blush again. My favorite of all time.
I definitely miss the Face Cases they used to do. They were awesome for vacations and just to keep in your purse in case you needed to jazz up anything you had going on mid-day.
Clarins Enchanted palette from Summer 2012. I have it pan on 3 of the 4 shades. I really love it !
1) Make Up For Ever 30th Anniversary Palette: I’m kicking myself for missing it!
2) L’oreal Nude Palette 2
3) Shu Uemera 16 Shades of Nude Palette
UD Naked 1, probably. Otherwise, Naked Basics 1 (they’re depotted into the same palette).
I have so many palettes and I tend to rotate them, but the one that has the most used eyeshadows in it is probably my Too Faced loves Sephora 15 anniversary palette. I also have a go to look in the Sephora Ariel palette that I probably see pan on soon as well as a couple of colors in some Bare Mineral quads I own.
Definitely the Suqqu Blend Color Eyeshadow quad in 10 Kozuecha. Peach, cream, taupe, medium brown, dark brown. All my essentials. 😀
Kat Von D “Saints” palette, it has great neutrals that are still interesting. 🙂
Definitely WnW’s 6-pan in Lust, and then probably UD Naked Basics, if only for my using Walk of Shame for a neutral lid to pair up with crazier colors in the crease. I do have quite a few dented pans in my UD 15th Anniversary palette, too.
Lorac Pro Palette. After I bought it, all my Naked´s are forever alone in my acrylic. 🙂
The first Naked palette by Urban Cosmetics. Diors Impression Cuir next, but I am reaching the pans on that one, too bad.
Anastasia Maya Mia!!!
