Going Native

Urban Decay Going Native Naked Flushed Cheek Palette ($34.00 for 0.49 oz.) includes a bronzer, highlighter, and blush poured into a single pan (so each shade does touch!) with the bronzer taking up the most space and the highlighter taking up the least. Each shade is supposed to be “intensely pigmented” and “blend beautifully.” The blush was a real bust–firm, stiff, lacking pigmentation–and the bronzer was just so-so, though the highlighter was quite nice.

Going Native (Bronzer)

Going Native (Bronzer) is a medium brown with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-sheer, buildable pigmentation (to semi-opaque) with a dusty, thin texture that wasn’t as blendable as it could have been. It started to fade on me after seven hours of wear.

Going Native (Highlighter)

Going Native (Highlighter) is a soft pink with warm undertones and a frosted sheen. It had rich pigmentation with a smooth, cream-like consistency that blended easily and didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. I felt like a little went on a long way, though, so use a lighter hand or a more feathery brush for a more moderate highlight. This shade wore nicely for eight hours on me.

Going Native (Blush)

Going Native (Blush) is a medium pink with cool, blue undertones and a mostly matte finish. The consistency was incredibly firm, which made it hard to get the product onto my brush to apply on the skin. It seemed like it would have been quite pigmented if it hadn’t been so firmly pressed; as it stood, it was sheer to semi-sheer and difficult to layer. It was a real challenge to blend out on the skin and lasted only seven hours on me.
