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.

Looking at your swatches, Christine, Pistol seems a lot like Urban Decay’s Mushroom from BOS II which is an HG e/s for me. How do they compare in your opinion?

The packaging is tempting me, but I’m holding off on buying Naked 2 because there’s a rumor that UD is coming out with an all matte palette in January 2012. Heard anything about that, by any chance?

By the way, thanks so much for your very prompt and thorough review and comparison of the Naked 2 to the original Naked. You rock!

Mara Avatar

Thanks for the quick response. By the way, I read somewhere that unlike the Naked which is made in the U.S., the Naked 2 is made in China. Is that true?!

dar Avatar

Wowie, wow, wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! It is amazing how similar the shades are when compared side by side but sadly, I ordered anyway because…well…I just had to have it.

Dana Avatar

You’re so thorough! Thanks for all this! I think I’m skipping this as I did with Naked #1. Most of them are too warm, and I don’t want to buy a palette unless I will use almost all the shades. I have enough neutrals in my own stash

Amanda R Avatar

I’m very cool toned and I’ve found that the Naked (1) palette compliments my skin really nicely, actually! I have very fair skin, blue eyes, and almost black hair, and the golds and warm browns really make my eyes pop. I’ve used all the colors heavily over the last year and they all look beautiful. I do agree with both you and Christine, though. I would have liked to see more cool-toned colors in Naked 2. Thank you for the review and comparison swatches! I ordered it, but now I’m thinking I might return it…

Michelle Avatar

Need it! Need it! Need it in my life….sadly, already sold out on the UD site so I’m going to have to wait for a restock. I am a total UD junkie

Christine Avatar

Thank you so much for this great comparison!! You are the best! I’m going to hold out hope that next year they will make Naked3, and it will be more cool toned. 🙂

Lisa Avatar

Lol,

You weren’t kidding that Naked2 would have done better being complementary to palette instead of duping half of it (and reusing old colors from the other half).

Ah well.

Linda Avatar

same here. i jumped when saw new naked , like “omg , they made cool tone sister” but no 🙁 feeling little sad, hope theyll reading us and writing this down :p

dar Avatar

I agree. NYX has the ‘Butt Naked’ palette {what an awful name!} in which the color selections are the more cool-toned taupe shadows that I was hoping for in the Naked2 palette. Oh well. Maybe Urban Decay will hear the cries for a truly cooler toned palette.

Jordan Avatar

A lot of people are saying they’re too similar, but I think the shades that ARE different make it worth purchasing. I can come up with so many different looks using some of the new shades. I mean… you can never have too many palettes. Or I just have a problem.

Jordan Avatar

Oh, I didn’t mean you said that… I just meant what I’ve heard online and in conversation with my friends. You make an excellent point, but it’s going on my Christmas wish list and if I don’t get it then I can wait until I have the money to splurge. This palette is definitely NOT a necessity, just a nice addition. (Pistol, Snakebite, Blackout, and Verve)

Tamra Wade Avatar

Amazing review of the product! My daughter and I are huge fans of the first. What you said above is all I needed to hear. Thank you for your review. We might be sitting this one out.

Do you know if UD sells the colors in palette one by themselves?

Thank you again for your side by side review! very cool and telling!

Tamra

AmyD Avatar

oooh thanks so much for this comparison, christine! i had no idea about naked 2 until this morning – i was racing to buy it on the ud website, when i realized i should just stop and wait for your posts – thank goodness i did! :)i love blackout, but i think i’ll just pick up a separate matte black eyeshadow, since i don’t have one yet.

Gala Avatar

I adore my naked palette, but kinda think I’ll pass on this one as it is quite similar. even though the news about it cought be breathless to see what is it gonna be like, its almost like porn to us makeup junkies 🙂

Raquel Avatar

SO SO happy I waited for your side by side comparisons! You just saved me 50 bucks!!! I HEART TEMPTALIA – and so does my husband, well sometimes :)!!

emily Avatar

Hmmm, since I have Naked 1, I think the only color I really want from Naked 2 is Pistol. That The Balm dupe you suggested looks pretty close, so if I buy a second “nudes” palette, I’ll probably buy The Balm’s Nude palette rather than the second Naked palette – it looks nicer and it’s cheaper, too!

Celeste Avatar

I’m torn, overall it doesn’t seem worth it for a Naked 2 but put the 2 together and I do prefer Blackout to Creep. I like the addition of cooler tones but the warm shades are just too similar. some of those pictures almost look like you swatched your arm twice with the same color… Is the Naked brush similar to the Naked 2 brush in any way?

Charlotte Avatar

Thank you for this! After looking at the comparison swatches, it’s lessened my lust since I already have Naked 1. Too many similarities to justify the purchase.

Hannah Avatar

Wow, thank you for your hard work on these comparisons. It’s a shame that the two palettes are almost exactly the same. I have Naked 1, but I don’t think I’ll be spending $50 for the Naked 2 palette for colors that look almost identical.

Your swatch of Smog and Darkhorse is identical to snakebite. Blackout is amazing, but there are so many good black colors out there. I wish they had come out with colors that were not so similar.

lizzy Avatar

I already sent the link to my husband to get it for me for christmas! But im tempted to buy it now haha! Im glad it has more than one shade similar to sidecar… that’s my all time fave!

Alicia Avatar

Eh, I initially wanted this, but seeing how similar the shades are…I already have so many eyeshadows, I don’t NEED this. Maybe if I can get it for cheaper, but for now I’m going to pass.

Rachael Avatar

I lot of the darker shades on Naked 1 are too warm and look really strange on me. I hardly wear it anymore. I do wish they had done a cool-toned version. I’ll be passing on this.

Maya Avatar

This is even more helpful than the original post about Naked 2! Thank you! After considering dupes I may have and seeing this, I don’t think I’m going to buy it

Youyou Avatar

Which one of them do you recommend for a person who doesn’ t have any? I was about to buy Naked 1 when the new one appeared… Now I can’t choose)

Youyou Avatar

I personally prefer packaging of 1 and I like that it includes a mini eyeshadow primer, but I thought that maybe coloros are beter in 2.
Thanks for your advice)

Melissa Avatar

Man, on the one hand, there are WAY too many dupes. On the other, the nice sturdy metal packaging and the double-ended brush (not to mention lip junkie, because that is the ONLY lipgloss I have ever really loved) make it really tempting. But my Naked 1 is definitely used and unsellable, and I don’t want to have 2 of the same! I think I have to pass on it. But I may have to pick it up for a friend who’s been lemming the original naked palette and travels constantly!

Julianne Avatar

It’s hard to determine what exactly their intentions were with this palette. My guess is that they are trying to market this as an option for those who didn’t purchase/weren’t interested in the Naked palette the first time around, seeing as there are a lot of similarities between both palettes, but different enough to invoke some interest in people who haven’t gotten their hands on Naked 1.

Would’ve loved to have seen some cooler tones, but I still think that regardless of the amount of difference between the two, it’s a gorgeous palette.

Rachel Avatar

I really wish they had done a cooler version of original naked palette. Thank you for the side by side swatches. I actually thought they were more different from other swatches than they seem now.

Ashley Avatar

When I heard the Naked 2 Palette came out, I rushed to see where I could purchase it. Didn’t read a single review, just saw a picture of it online. Luckily I stopped by Temptalia to read more about it because the shades are way too similar to the original palette. The side-by-side comparisons justify that perfectly. Will I still by it? Of course! I love Urban Decay and one can never have too many palettes 😛

Great review!

Alexandra Avatar

Darn! Now seeing your swatches side by side I’m kinda kicking myself for caving and rushing to buy this today since I already have the first one (which I love)! LOL
Hmmm maybe I’ll have to pass this along as a Christmas gift since it still is really pretty. Thanks for putting this comparison up so quickly!!

Daniela Avatar

I really like pistol & busted. I bought blackout a while back as my matte black for smokey eyes & loved. I did purchase this palette, yes it’s expensive & very similar to the first, but I love neutrals & this palette looks great. Thanks for the swatches Christine!

Denise Frey Avatar

So similar. You can make the original palette into any of the shades in #2, w/ the exception of the black. If you have a few more UD colors, you can duplicate any in #2. Not getting this. Same as the Cowboy quad,similar to the other cowboy quad, from 2 years ago, w/ romp in it. I wish they would do something else. =)

Oona Avatar

I was expecting a cool-toned Naked… 🙁 Christine, can you recommend a cool-toned neutral pallette? I live in Spain and it is frustrating not being able to find one (I’m guessing most brands think all Spaniards look like Penélope Cruz)

Thanks! 🙂

Katie Avatar

Christine, you rock! Thanks for getting this info out so quick!

Overall, based on the swatches, I don’t think I’ll get it since I have Naked 1. Some of the shades in 2 intrigue me, but there are just too many similarities to spend $50.

If it was truly a taupe palette, I’d be all over it. Too me, it seems more like honey/copper browns than taupe O_o

Louise Brodd Avatar

yepp not so different.. If i’m not mistaken, doesn’t Naked 1 have a primer potion included? so that’s the biggest differens in my eyes 😉
The Naked Palette is still on my wishlist, but I don’t think that I will get it… I come from sweden and the range of brands is guite small,, and that we have is expensive! A lipstick from Mac costs 30 $!!! and can only be bought in the three biggest cities and on ONE online store… we can’t buy urban decay online or in stores… if I ever go to the US I will pack one set of clothes and buy make up like there no tomorrow ;P but thank god for international shipping 😉

Jenny Avatar

Hope this comes out in sephora before the 13th bc I just received their vib xmasgift card. But at same time not sure if I want another similar palette since I have naked1 already… But the packaging looks nice.

Grace Avatar

The colors that don’t have similar shades to the Naked 1 palette are for the most part pretty, but I’m going to have to agree and say why the heck would they release a palette so similar to the original??? Makes no sense. People who own the Naked 1 (and obviously those who don’t own it) will still buy this just to have it, but I feel like a lot more purchases and excitement would come out of a totally different palette.

Makes 0.00 sense to me.

Nina Avatar

As someone who doesn’t own Naked 1, I went ahead and bought Naked 2 today. I just really love the packaging and I’m hoping it’ll introduce me to the brand.

Lindsay Avatar

When I heard about the second Naked Palette everyone’s opinions seemed almost irrelevant. I had to wait for your two cents to get the best review. Thanks for all the time you put into your blog and videos Christine! You are my authority on all things beauty!

divinem (Melissa) Avatar

So glad I didn’t hit the “confirm” button to order and held out for your amazing swatches, Christine. You just saved me $50! Thank you so much for the ridiculously fast turnaround!

Sasha Avatar

I don’t own the naked 1 palette and was thinking of getting it but then I saw naked 2. Should I hold up for now and wait to get naked 2? Or should I get the first? Or both? Lol

SatelliteDreamer Avatar

Thank you for doing such a great comparison!!

I will be passing on Naked2, as my Naked palette doesn’t get used very often anyway. Now, if only UD would come out with a Not Naked palette.. Same layout and size, with all bright colours! New colours at that.

happyroach Avatar

I SO SECOND THAT!!! I hate how all the BOS/anniversary/etc palettes are super huge/bulky. If only all the colorful palettes were as slim and portable!

Melissa Avatar

I’m a sucker for neutrals. I have a mostly neutral MAC palette and the Naked 1 palette, but I want this too! I feel like, because I have the most fair skin ever, most shades will appear a bit differently on me because all colors really do show up true on my lids. These colors are so beautiful, and I knew that when my original Naked runs out, I’d purchase another. But if I get the 2nd, I won’t have to re-purchase the exact same one again. 🙂 I think the differences are excellent! Thank you for the wonderful post.

Maria Avatar

C- you do the best swatches. I was “lusting” on this until I saw your comparison. I was hoping that N2 would have more matte finishes. If more were like tease & black out I would be sold.
I have plenty of MAC neutrals to create natural looks & I just bought a matte black.
Plus $50 for this when N1 was $46 just doesnt justify it to me.

Tinkerbell Avatar

i don’t have the original naked palette, but i am planning to buy one and i am realllyyyy confused!! which one do you suggest is better? 1st or second?

Mel Avatar

I have Naked 1, but I don’t wear most of the colors on the right side of the palette(Darkhorse, creep, Gunmetal) and I really dislike Toasted, so even though it seems like the consensus is that it’s similar, I think I’ll enjoy Naked 2 more(blackout is a must have)I’m glad I was able to snag it before it sold out.

Chris25 Avatar

I’m glad these are permanent. I can wait and see if I really “need” either of them. Although I wish they’d stop putting Half Baked in every palette.

Thanks for the swatches! 🙂

Andrea L. Östvang Avatar

Such a great post, Christine!
Although, I will definitely be getting this one too.
I LOVE my NAKED!
But, it isn’t a must color wise, and it’s also permanent, right..?
If so, I’m in no rush, and will buy The Balms Nude’tude palette (if I can find it), before getting this one.
Thanks for calming my lust for this a bit 😉

Macy Avatar

Thanks for these comparisons! I still can’t decide whether to purchase it or not, I’m such a fan of Urban Decay palettes that I almost feel strange NOT buying it. I’ll probably wait a little while, and then buy it!

happyroach Avatar

Thank you, Christine! You always have the BEST swatches and the most thorough individual item AND comparison reviews. They are SO helpful. And I love how you have NC20 skin like myself, so I can know exactly how everything will look on me just by looking at your swatches. I love this blog!

Hisa Avatar

Ah I was so right to wait for your post! I was resisting the urge to buy until I read your input. Glad I waited 😉 thanks so much for your info Christine! I really value your opinions!

Yazmin Avatar

Is it me, or does anyone else feel like urban decays palettes are all starting to look the same as each other? The two naked palettes look identical just a 1-2 shades off with only a couple of new colours, but overall its the same concept. And the book of shadows all looked the same to me. I think they just hope the hype is going to make sales. Im glad i didnt buy the first palette as i have tons of neutral shades, and im even happier that im going to skip the second palette.

Thanks for the hard work though christine, much appreciated as always x

KrisBliss Avatar

I just bought Naked 1 two weeks ago!! Now I have to go and get Naked 2. I was hoping there wouldn’t be any shades I had to have, but alas I must own Verve and Pistol. My poor aching wallet…

le Avatar

This palette appears to be less dark than the Naked 1. Surprised that there are some shades are almost the same. I guess some people with fairer skin tone will appreciate this. But why UD raised their price up one more time. From $44 to $48 and now $50. Is it because of the double ended brush?

Heather Avatar

Thanks for this. I think I will skip it. When I first saw the photos I thought they all seemed different…now I see they are all quite similar.

Sarah Avatar

It’s new and it’s Urban Decay so I can’t resist… Fortunately for me, it’s going to be a few months before it makes its way to the UK so I *may* change my mind by then 😛

Sarah Avatar

I knew I jumped the gun too soon! I was so excited to see that it was available that I went ahead and ordered two of them–one for me and one as a gift for a friend who loves the original Naked palette also. I didn’t realize how similar the two were. I’m kind of disappointed now. Bummer. Thanks for posting this–very helpful!

Yelena Avatar

Oh jeez, I just ordered this a few hours ago and now i’m having second thoughts since I have the first one. I hope I have the option of returning it if it doesnt turn out to be what I expected. Thanks for the amazing review. 🙂

Leslie Avatar

Thanks soo much for your review! I wish I had waited until I read your post before ordering.The shades look pretty similar but I still really can’t wait to get it!! What are your favorite shades from the Naked 2 Palette?

Susan Martinez Avatar

The new palette looks a bit cooler in tones than the first Naked palette. Is the color Tease anything like MAC’s Haux or Quary? What skin tones do you think would look with the colors in this palette?

Sylvia Avatar

If they would have put Naked 1 in Naked 2 packaging at the beginning it would’ve been the best palette ever. Now I own Naked 1 and I absolutely don’t need the second one, although the packaging is way better.

Ari Avatar

Thanks so much for the swift, excellent work: you do the best swatches that I’ve seen, and I wasn’t about to buy this before seeing those – and your opinion on the shadows’ quality. This one’s such a shame. I was really hoping for a decent scattering of mattes and shimmers, but this is too frosted and glittery for my skin – and the warms are too bright for my neutral-leaning-warm colouring. The punchline? My favourite shade was Tease! :/

Oh well. theBalm’s matte palette will console me. 🙂

Ari Avatar

For sure! And, by the looks of it, a perfect dupe for my favourite shade from Guerlain’s Rue de Passy. But then, the more I look at it, the more Rue de Passy feels like a very refined version of Naked 1. Madness. 🙂

Tanya Avatar

I was also hoping for a cool toned version of the original palette. I have really pale skin so these goldy-orange colors look really awful on me, which is why I steered away in the first place. I like this second palette better than the first, at least there’s some matte and more neutral tones, but overall they look too similar. Think I will pass.

Alice Avatar

I have Naked 1 which I’ve worn almost every day since I got it but I’m not getting Naked 2. Not enough new shades to justify $50 and the shades in this on wouldn’t work as well for me.

Katrina Avatar

I’m glad that i didn’t order this. I was hoping for more mattes and a different shade selection. Im happy that I saved money because I just bought thebalm shady lady palettes in vol 2 & 3 and i also bough thebalm’s nude pallette.

Z Avatar

Hmm….Ok, after checking out your comparison swatches there is only one to two shades that don’t have a similar enough match in the NP1 (or elsewhere…actually, if we factor in “elsewhere” I’m totally covered), no need to pick it up after all. Though I will say I prefer the packaging of NP2 over NP1. Just asthetics. Metal will always make me happier than funky velvet.

stacey Avatar

No, I prefer the velvet packaging. In fact, I bought 6 Naked I with the duo end pencils. It doesnt feel so cold like a pencil box. Just brush the velvet with a moist cloth if it catches too much lint..The velvet just feels so luxe. I am not getting the Naked II for these reasons.

Z Avatar

Yep, you and like five other people (ok, ok, it’s probably a majority). :p I dunno what it is, I just lean more towards clean lines, metals, and stuff like that. Despite being a girl I definitely prefer things designed by, or for, a more masculine sensibility. It’s weird. Doesn’t have anything to do with it getting fuzzies on it (I pamper my nicer palettes so they’re all clean), but it just doesn’t feel as nice in my hands like metal, or that faux-snakeskin material Lorac uses, or glass (not that anyome makes a glass palette…). Heft. i like heft. And also the gold lettering is getting a little cracked from the travel abuse.

Oh, I did want to come back and make another comment on the NP2. I showed the boy your post comparing the two and he said “That seems like a total scam. They’re basically the same thing! Why would they do that?” *lol* He already doesn’t understand why/how certain makeup items can be expensive and doesn’t see the value in them, but to see two separate palettes with almost all the same colors… that totally set off his b.s. meter.

LuLu Avatar

Christine, I love you! I really do. You’re awesome. Thank you so much for the prompt swatches, review, and comparison. I’m getting married next week and I still haven’t found a dress yet haha (I suck at time management. Tips?)

Which eyeshadow from the Naked 2 palette looks the closest to Urban Decay’s Shadow Intense in Stray Dog? It’s my fave taupe but we don’t have Urban Decay in my country so I have to order off Sephora through Amazon (cuz neither Sephora nor Urban Decay ship internationally) and our teeny tiny Sephora in Kuwait is abysmal (if only Sephora’s HQ knew what goes on over here, the sales assistant’s know next to nothing about their products, the prices are triple what they are in the states (no, seriously triple) as if Sephora wasn’t pricey enough, and worst of all they look appalled if you ask for samples even if you drop KD300 which is more or less $1,000 US, oh and you can’t return or exchange items no matter what, Fun!) so I’m looking for a Stray Dog dupe. I’m getting Naked 2 for sure either way but please lemme know which one is closest to Stray Dog in Naked 2 and (any other brand if possible).

No matter how much I pack on stray dog with MAC’s 239 brush, it’s still a lovely taupe whereas Satin Taupe looks too dark on me unless I use MAC’s 224 and a light hand. Chanel’s Taupe Gris is lovely but not quite the same as Stray Dog.

For reference, I’m an NC40 even though I’m told I’m NC35-37, olive-skinned but coppers and browns make me look sickly but at the same time pink blushes make me look greener and baby pink lipsticks sadly have a lilac tone on me whereas tragically hot pinks (candy yum yum, show orchid, petals and peacocks, etc.. look purple on my lips. Even the makeup artist at MAC was confused when I swatched Angel lipstick.

Like many others, I look up to you and Dusty, so please any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Kisses from Kuwait

Krista Avatar

I think I like the Naked2 better! Hahaha, don’t hunt me down Naked1 lovers! :)) But who cares, we all know we’ll hoard both palettes anyways.

Yazmin Avatar

Thank you SOOOO MUCH for the comparison. I was about to purchase it, but then thought do I REALLY need this. You’re comparison makes me feel better for not buying it. I love my first Naked palette and the difference in colors is nothing major.

Karen Avatar

Thankyou so much for the swatches and the information on both palettes. I previously have never swatched or even seen the Naked palette up close. I’m really interested in buying the Naked palette 2 now. I like the shadow colours and I like the packaging much better. I hope I can get NP2 soon 🙂

Ashley Avatar

Thanks so much for this post! I think that I would like the palette a lot more if the colors did not have as much shimmer in them. Like “Tease” looks really matte to me and I would love to see more tones like it.

Camila Cavalcanti Avatar

Thank you Christine, you’ve just save me $115 (since UD does not ship to Brazil, I always have to pay an extra in other stores). Some colors are so similar =/

Michelle Avatar

Thanks for such a detailed swatch, Christine! Super helpful for those of us who already have the first one and are wondering whether it’s worth getting the second one. I didn’t realize how similar most of the colors are until I saw your side-by-side swatches. I absolutely love Verve and Pistol, but I don’t think those two colours are worth getting the entire palette for.

Gabby Avatar

Aw boo – I was hoping for more colors that would work with my skintone…although I do like Snakebite & Blackout

Also, I’m suffering from serious makeup withdrawal – can’t wait until I’m back home in the states & can go shoooooooop till I drop 🙂 I think I’m finally going to splurge and get the Naked 1 😀

Kellie (a different Kellie) Avatar

They’re so similar that it’s laughable. Someone should inform Urban Decay that switching the order of the shadows and tweaking them to the bare minimum will not cut it. I do love the matte black but, I have an Inglot eyeshadow and MAC pigment that look just as black. Thank goodness for Temptalia!

Rachael Avatar

I bought mine today on urban decay! I literally stocked the page all day.. I’m so excited! I have the first one too, but i much prefer these shadows 🙂

Julieanne Avatar

Thank you for the detailed comparison. Other bloggers kept swatching the shadows in palette order as a comparison and it was not nearly as helpful as this 🙂 How does Booty Call compare to MAC Jest?

Thanks so much!

Jen Avatar

OMG thanks! I JUST got NAKED palette (after looking for it for a year) so I was disappointed when I found out that UD just introduced NAKED 2…

But I’m happy now because it looks like NAKED 1 and 2 are very similar. I don’t think I’ll be buying NAKED 2. THANKS SOOOOO MUCH! <3 🙂

Gabby T. Avatar

Christine – almost every other review I read of this palette was glowing – to a fault. I waited for your review and am SO HAPPY I didn’t jump to buy this earlier today. After seeing your comparisons to Naked 1 I realize I have no need for Naked 2. THANK YOU for saving me $50 and continuing to be my best source for makeup guidance!

Ash Avatar

Thank you Christine, you just saved me 50.00. I have the original palette and a few other UD ones and this one just wasn’t different enough to justify the expense, especially right before Christmas. I would have liked to see more innovation on UD’s part.

Kathryne Avatar

I panicked when I found out 5k were sold out today. I woke up late, LOL. But looking at your swatches, I guess there’s really nothing to be excited about except for a few new shades. xoxo

Heather Avatar

Wow… Thanks for the thorough in-depth comparison of these 2 palettes, Christine. You just saved my husband & I $50 lol. I already have Naked 1 and the 15th Anniversary palette which contains Blackout. Considering both Naked 1 and Naked 2 contain Half Baked and several of the shades are very similar in both palettes, I think I’m good. I do like that UD included a double ended brush in this new one, but I’m glad they left the Blackout out of Naked 1. I agree with you — it’s much too harsh when put with all the lighter colors. I so wanted to get excited over this palette because it’s turning into a series thing… But I’m a little too disappointed with UD’s color choices :(.

Samantha Avatar

OMG I love this palette! I’m obsessed with the new packaging, but I already have the 1st one and that was very hard to get my hands on. I have to say though, UD did a wonderful job with this new palette, I may have to buy this one and give one of my other palettes away.

Hanna Avatar

Hey Christine! I don’t have the NAKED palette yet. I was planning on buying it anytime soon until I came across this article. Now I don’t know whether I should buy NAKED 1 or NAKED 2. Haha. I like the blackout from NAKED2 tho. And the mirror too. I need help. Which one should i get? 🙂

Califabulous Avatar

you are freaking awesome. I didn’t even know there was a naked 2 until I checked your site! lol i love it but it’s too similar and I have barely dented the shadows in Naked 1. I LOVE Naked one but I am not a collector so I won’t be buying this. Love the casing.

Thanks so much for posting this! I’ve been holding out on getting the Naked palette since I knew the second one was coming out soon. Looking at the swatches, however, I’ve decided that I definitely want the first one. Prettier colors, imo.

Laura Avatar

Glad I waited for your swatches. I was very tempted mostly because I am a long time UD junkie. Thank you for the side by sides. I saw another review before the release but she just swatched the palettes in color order so it was hard to tell how similar. As always you are thorough and helpful! Thank you, once again you saved my credit card!

“Half Baked is a repeat from Naked 1, so yes, there is a dupe–in fact, it’s 100% the same!”

omg Christine, idk why but that line just cracked me up

Kathryne Avatar

Tnx for another unbiased representation of this sequel. You helped saved women from NP2 insanity, lol. Btw, I just referred you as the” wikipedia of all things makeup” in my new blog post (naked palette 2: yay or nay). More power to you. Much aloha!xoxo

Julia Avatar

I was seriously hoping that this second palette would be A LOT different than the first one. I swear when i got the email I immediately thought, “wth it’s the same exact palette!” I love that you swatched all the colors to show the similarities. My gut wants to say I won’t get this palette… but the makeup lover in me says I need it just to say I have it in my collection. Hahaha Though in all honesty why didn’t they change it up!?

Becky Avatar

I immediately pounced on this this morning (thinking it was LE otherwise I would have waited and asked for it as a Christmas gift, lol), but after seeing your comments I was worried I made the wrong choice! But then going back and looking at the shades from Naked 1 (which I don’t own) I feel better. I like the shades from Naked 2 and I already have 3 shades from Naked 1 in the Fun and Dangerous palettes (Sin, Virgin, and Gunmetal). So yay!

Cheska Avatar

I think I want the Naked 2 palette just because of blackout :/ too bad I already have Naked 1! You’re right, UD shouldn’t have made the palettes too similar, of course I wouldn’t buy Naked 2 anymore!

Carla Avatar

You are the best. Thanks for the swatches Christine. I have Naked #1. The rational side of me says skip Naked2, but the makeup junkie says “buy it”.

Summer Avatar

I really like Urban Decay, but I will never understand why the Naked palette became so popular. Naked 2 looks like a rehash of the same muddy, overly frosty shades with too much fall-out and not enough variety to be appealing. Thank you for reviewing this though, Christine; I had wanted to purchase Naked 2 for my olive-skinned, brown-eyed friend for Christmas (the colors would work for her) and now I don’t have to head out to Sephora.

Caroline Avatar

Thank you for the wonderful swatch comparisons! I am almost having buyers remorse after seeing how similiar each palettes are. I love the Naked and went bananas when I saw Naked 2 was coming. Now I am wondering do I really need both? I guess I will have to play with them when I get mine. Thank you for your honest review. It really helps!!

Emma Avatar

very disappointed with this one 🙁 there’s not enough difference between the two to justify me buying both!! and I was really hoping this one would be cool toned. Hope pistol comes out in another palette though!

Anna Avatar

I’m obsessed with neutral coloured shadows, so I HAVE to get this palette 😉
Pistol and Verve <3
I hope I can somehow get my hands on this (I live in Germany, and it can be fairly hard to buy beauty stuff over here, at least the things I want;))
I bought the first palette when I was in London, but now, I feel isolated from the rest of the world 😉

Kim Avatar

I was going to buy it but now after seeing the swatches I am going to save my money and wait for other up and coming eyeshadow releases. Looks to much the same. The packaging is cute but just not worth it since I already have the first Naked.

dom Avatar

Ah, thank you for your review. I guess I’ll have to reedit my own blog to say that I might not get this after seeing your review. Pity that the shades are so close to each other. Naked 1 retails for 175 in my currency…so I’m not sure if it’s worth forking out another 175 or so for Naked 2.

ashley Avatar

I think they should have taken your opinion before doing this palette! I don’t think people gathering this palette don’t have a taste as good as yours:) Kisses from TURKEY

Jeanie Avatar

WoW!! You’re swatches of the shadows are AMAZING!! I’ve seen several reviews for the new Naked 2 palette but I have to say that this is the most comprehensive and informative so thank you! (=

I’m kind of having a dilemma because I’ve wanted the Naked palette for so long but I went ahead and ordered the Naked2 and now I am having doubts. :/ I definitely don’t want both so I was wondering which one you would suggest for me?? I’m Korean with dark hair and eyes and about an NC30??

Yuvee Avatar

Awesome post! I was really excited about this initially, but the only shade I really want is Pistol. Love the case too, but haven’t had any problem with my beloved Naked 1, so guess this one is a pass.

Tina Avatar

Thanks for providing us with swatches; however, regardless, I still purchased it before you updated your site. I love earthy tones & neutrals, and I love black, so I don’t think I did any harm buying it lol.

Anyways, my main point is I wanted to say thanks for not only doing these swatches but for your site in general!!!

Nina Avatar

i own the first one but hardly use it bec the velvet packaging freaks me out …. 😀

i ordered the 2nd bec of 2 shades and the metal packaging. i <3 pistol, snakebite and tease.

thank you for the awesome swatches, Christine!

Saffy Avatar

I really like Verve and Pistol, but I won’t rush out to buy this palette because I already have Naked 1. But I’ll probably buy it eventually because the packaging is so superior. Thanks for the swatches!!

stacey Avatar

Hi Christine!

I visit your site daily, love it! Anyway, can you believe this is sold out already? I wonder how many of your readers purchased yesterday!

stacey Avatar

I like the comparison swatches. It is almost as though UD tweaks the color a little bit and then puts a catchy name to make it appear “new”. UD is my new found love of eyeshadow colors. Their shades just work well with me.

LRW Avatar

I ordered this after seeing swatches from another blog where it looks like a cooler/neutral version of Naked 1,so now I am anxiously awaiting it’s arrival to see for myself!

LRW Avatar

omg..I’ve had this palette for 3 days now..LOVE..it is more than I expected. On me,it is cool/neutral..Half Baked is the warmest color,but still fairly neutral. I know Chopper has issues with fallout,but if you use your finger and pat it on,I find it doesn’t have the fallout vs using a brush.Pistol and Snakebite are my favorites in this palette. Blackout is the perfect black..goodbye MAC Carbon. I am happy,happy,happy.

Monica Avatar

Thank you so much Christine!! I was wondering when this will be available in Mexico, if ever, but now I know I don’t need this, personally I like the Naked 1 better, so I´m not fretting anymore
You are the best!

Pamela M Avatar

Getting this palette would be pointless since I have the first one. Why would UD make this palette so similar? Oh well this post just saved me a few bucks. Thanks Christine!

Alice Avatar

Thank you for your amazing review, Christine! I found out about the Naked Palette in Urban Decay late and was going to go buy it when I heard Naked2 was coming out… but like you pointed out, almost all the colors are similar and I just don’t find any reason to buy two palettes. Now, which one to buy…

Char Avatar

Thanks for the comparison swatches! I’m looking to buy either the Naked or Naked 2 Palette. If you had to choose only one, which would you recommend?

Ashley Avatar

Hi there, I was just getting ready to invest in the original when this came out…which one has more peachy tones? And which do you prefer? Ahh now I’m torn!

Rachel Avatar

Hey Christine, thanks for the review. They do seem awfully similar so I know I don’t need both. For someone new to urban decay which palette would you say is better? This will be my first urban decay palette purchase (shameful, I know). I am warm toned. I have very few eyeshadow shades so which palette (N1, N2, or other) would be a good starter set? Thank you!!!!

Sandra JT Avatar

Your swatches are spectacular, as always 🙂 Sadly, the same thing can’t be said for this palette. Got excited when I heard Naked 2 was coming out. I returned Naked 1 because it seriously disappointed & bored me. After seeing these swatches and comparisons….I feel like I just got hit with a big wet fart once again. Total letdown. Seriously, this was the best UD could do?? I must say thanks for saving me $50, though 😎 Money better spent on products that have some creativity & imagination put into them.

Amanda Avatar

Thanks for the review! i’ve been wanting to get my hands on the naked palette for a while, but now theres a number two! which one would you recommend if i was to only get one? And i have a yellow undertone, which one would suit me better? Thanks! xx

rachel Avatar

I love your reviews; yours are pretty much the only ones I ever read. However, I know that, IMO at least, the colors in the photos aren’t so accurate. You have Sidecar, YDK and Toasted swatched side by side, and in the photo, they all look the same. However, Sidecar and Toasted are sooooo different in person. I think that once people get to see the Naked2 palette in person, more will want to buy it.

Christine Avatar

Sidecar and Toasted are not dupes of each other, but they are similar – and in the photo, Sidecar is not the same as Toasted; Toasted is a little redder and darker. They’re not the same, but they aren’t completely different on me – and I’ve seen them with my own eyes on me. I spend hours and hours taking dozens of photos, rechecking photos, reswatching, comparing while I’m editing to ensure accuracy. Perhaps your skin tone is different, so the undertones of certain colors can become more pronounced.

Wendy Avatar

Agreed. I bought Naked 2 on a whim for her but started thinking it may be too shimmery.I noticed theBalm’s Nude ‘tude on Hautelook today. Maybe I’ll pick that up. Thanks!

Brynna Cleland Avatar

lets be honest here, the only really different ones are verve blackout and pistol. and pistol is kind of ugly… and blackout is in the 15h anniversary palette. plus verve is basically the same idea as midnight 15 from the 15th anniversary, and im sure most have a shimmery champagne color in their collection. there is absolutely no way anyone needs this palette, given they have NAKED 1, especially if they also have the 15th anniversary palette. but, UD is going to make huge amounts of money on it just because of the novelty. i would have loved to see a completely different set of neutrals in which i could warrant having both, because i love the original naked palette, and neutrals. however, there is no way UD is getting $50 from me for basically an exact duplicate.

Valentina Dang Avatar

I really love your comparison between the two. Sigh* I hope they come out with a palette that combines the best of both palettes. I love buck and naked from the first palette, I think they should have more matte shades because there’s still too much shimmer in the 2nd palette. I love the naked1 more, but am envious of the 2 headed brush in naked 2, and also the matte black shade – blackout! Great review!

tasha Avatar

very good and thorough review!! I am a new comer to make up. I recently went to Sephora for a make up tutorial and they used naked 1 on me, i want to buy one. I seen naked 2 now… I read all your messgaes and seen you said prefer naked 1 but could you give me a DETAILED answer of why. If it helps I am african-american but i am light skin…(beyonce Skin color)…please help me make the right decision.

Eleonora Avatar

thank you for this, I was waiting for this review 😀 I’m still wondering which one I should get..I think I prefer the first one, I love the velvet packaging and the colours..but I have very dark eyes and brown hair..and maybe the colours of the naked2 fits me better..what do you think? I know that we’re talking of quite neutral colours but I’d love to have your opinion!

Irina Avatar

I love how you answer to all the comments 🙂 It’s great that you take your time and whatnot! I love the quality and everything about your bloog! So I’m pretty new to makeup, and I want to buy a neutral palette (For special occasions and going out). I’m Asian and I’m a bit tan, so my yellow undertones are not as prominent but they are still there. Which palette do you recommend? Naked 1 or 2? Or any other ones? Also, what brushes do you think are essential but moderately priced? (keeping in mind that I’ll use this two or three times a month) Thank you and sorry for bombarding you with so many questions!

VnMakeup Avatar

I wish I saw this before I placed my order. 😉 as I have my Naked and I Love it and I wonder if I really need the 2. ;\ Oh well there’s always return 😉

Roslyn Avatar

I really appreciate all the work you put in for us make-up lovers Christine.
I would like to know if Ulta or Sephora plan on getting this palette in stock?

Rida Avatar

Hey Christine!
I had a question…I wanted to buy Naked 1 but I didn’t. With naked 2 out, can you suggest whether I should go for Naked 1 and the 15th anniversary palette or Naked 2 and the 15th anniversary palette. I have been eyeing the 15th annv one for a long time. Also, what do you think about Sleek palette storm? Doesn’t it look similar to Naked 1?

Cathleen W Avatar

THANK YOU for doing the side by side of similar colors. All the other reveiewers just kept saying “they’re differnt” and swatching them in the order they were in the palette.

Debby Avatar

In Singapore, makeup is super duper expensive (just like Australia). And I don’t wanna waste my money on both just to get a couple of different shades. SO which 1 of the 2 palettes do you think i should get?

Andy Avatar

I’ve actually been wanting this, but after looking at many reviews and swatches, I’m not craving much for it. I like the first Naked palette better that I think I might just end up buying another one as a backup lol.

Reeny Avatar

Yeah, I need this. Want this. Crave this. And I’m sooooooo behind in the makeup world (been saving for my parents anniversary trip) that i’ll have to get it to be in the swing of things. Yyeeaaahhh……mmmhmm

Iman Avatar

For a girl who does completely neutral looks (think MAC naked lunch & woodwinked, wet n wild “walking on eggshells”) which naked palette would you recommend?

sania Avatar

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 😀

Amanda Avatar

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.

Phoebe Avatar

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!

Christine2 Avatar

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.

momma353 Avatar

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.

Gotham Polish Avatar

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!

Lindsay Avatar

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.

Jamie Avatar

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… Thanks!<3

Missjackiedenise Avatar

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

Daindra Avatar

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?

Kat Avatar

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.

Lindsay Avatar

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 🙂

Sara Ferreira Avatar

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!!

Sandra Avatar

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!!! =)

Julie Avatar

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. 🙂

Judy Avatar

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? 🙂

Mery Avatar

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!!!

jyoti Avatar

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

Caitlin Avatar

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

Jane Avatar

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!

Olivia Avatar

Hi Christine, I have been looking at these swatches and reading this post for such a long time and I still cant decide whether to buy naked I or naked 2. The thing is, because I have pale skin and blue eyes, the standard answer is that I should buy naked 2, but I seem to like naked 1 better. I like nighttime looks, and naked 2 seems to have much paler colors than the original naked… would the original naked still work for me? or should I just go with the naked 2? Am I right in saying the naked 2 has fewer dark colors and less variety than naked 1? (Please help!! I’ve been debating this for soo long)

jenna paige Avatar

olivia, i have darker olive asian skin. i look good in purple but not orange. I have no idea which one to get naked 1 or naked 2. Lik Christine, I have been debating for so long. i am also older and i’m wondering if perhaps shimmer and glitter shadows are something i should be staying away from? (as in do i stick to the matte shades instead?) This one mean perhaps I should buy the matte shades separately? I am confused and any guidance would help.  I also feel more comfortable wearing less color…I like to blend in with my brown clothing (example).  However, I don’t own any blue or green eye shadow (which is from naked 1).  Thanks for your help in advance

I bought the Naked 1 when it first came out and ended up returning it because all of the colors seemed to get a bit of a greenish undertone on my skin. (I have medium skin with beige undertones). I wonder if the Naked 2 would have less of a tendency to look greenish on me?

Hi! I’m going to ask a different question! Generally, what type of skin colour, undertone, age, hair/eye colour, suits No.1 and No.2? I love the beautiful neutral colours but we don’t have urban decay in Australia, so I will probably buy MAC dupes.

Hi! I know you get this type of question often, but I have  tannish/yellowish olive toned skin with a warm undertone, black hair, and brown eyes. Which palette would you recommend for me? Naked 1 or 2? I’m stumped! Thankyou!!!!! 🙂

Hi. I’m also deciding between 1 and 2. I have blonde hair, hazel eyes, and I am usually tan. I prefer more of the natural look. I usually use the Too Faced Natural Eye Kit, but I’m wanting something new. Which one would you suggest for me? Thanks!

 @Christine-Temptalia Thank you so much! I appreciate your feedback! i was kind of leaning towards that one because it has more neutrals. I’m glad you confirmed it!

I also need help deciding between naked 1 and 2. I have blonde hair, hazel eyes, and I tan easily. I also prefer natural looking makeup. I usually use the Too Faced Natural Eye Kit, but I want something different! HELP!

Hello there!  I have strong yellow undertones(asian) and I tan very easily in the summer seasons but I have fair-light skin during the winter seasons.  I have really dark brown eyes and brown hair.  And I’m really having a hard time which one to get.  I prefer smokey eye looks because it’s not that it doesn’t show on me, but my eye features or eye bone structure ( I can’t explain it well) is not that strong.  Thanks.

Hi! I have lightish brown hair with some blonde and a lightish tan skin tone. I also have green-gray eyes that can look really dark or light at times and sometimes people think they’re brown they’re so dark. Which palette would work for me?

Hey I have blonde hair, very fair skin, and light blue eyes. I have the Naked 1, should I buy the Naked 2? Will it make a difference?

Hi Christine, I know I’m a bit late with the whole Urban Decay naked palette hype but I really want one now, I’m a nc40 so I’m very warm toned but I like wearing makeup that appears very natural, so which of the two palettes would you recommend; the original or the 2? 🙂

Thanks x

Hi Christine,

Thanks a lot for the swatches! I am debating between the naked palette original or naked palette 2. Wanted to find out from you which palette has more brown/bronze/golden shades. I am a huge fan of shimmery browns. I don’t like pinks or blacks so much. Please lemme know 🙂

Thanks!
