Urban Decay Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette Makeup Look Ideas (x10)
Urban Decay Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette ($48.00 for 0.49 oz.) is a pink-themed palette with a mix of shimmers and mattes. I don’t find this palette to be very versatile on me–a lot of it runs together for me–but I tried to come up with some different color combos nonetheless. For me, I’d likely bring in more deep shades and add in a couple of brightening shimmer shades to make the palette more versatile.
About This Series
Each look idea is centered around a “quad” of four shades with the expectation that one might bring in the appropriate brow bone or additional transitional shade based on skin tone. I know that I tend to use more like five or six shades in a typical look, but I think that four is a happy medium to give a good idea of the “core” color scheme of a look while giving you the ability to lighten/darken as desired. I have listed the colors in this order: inner lid, middle of lid, outer lid/crease, and crease/above crease.
You might see combinations that seem slightly repeated but placement will vary (e.g. a halo placement where the lightest and more shimmery shade is placed on the center) as placement can also create a different effect/look! You might also want to consider incorporating your favorite matte/shimmer shades (as applicable) to increase the versatility of certain palettes. Consider these ideas a jumping off point!

Thank you for these lovely ideas on how to get the most out of this palette. I can’t help but notice how similar many of the shades are and I don’t think it is the most versatile of the Naked range. Your combinations will really help those who have this palette.
Although I buy many of the UD palettes, this was an easy pass for me. Very similar colors across the palette and this color on my eyes is just not flattering for me.
Now you know how a cool girl (me) views all those golden, orange, yellow, tan, brown palettes. To me, these colors all ‘run together’. Lol. It’s all in one’s perspective.
For me, it’s not the tone so much as the closeness in actual depth! 🙂 I said the same about Naked Heat, FYI!
Thank you for the inspiration, Christine 🙂 I have this palette, too, and as much as I really like the shades, I generally find myself wondering what kind of look to do when I pull it out to use it! You’ve given me some great ideas to work with here.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing these quad looks for this and all the previous palettes you have been revisiting lately. I appreciate that you have been using “older” palettes like the Sultry, Cherry, and Tarte Pro remix. I along with many people lately would like to use what I have more frequently than just reaching for whats new. These looks provide a massive jolt of creativity. You are a wealth of information and inspiration.
