This looks fresh after so many red-toned releases from UD as well as everyone else, but it also looks like Melt Cosmetics’ Gemini diluted to 10%. Nonetheless, happy to see more green tones!
Exactly my first thought.
Third-ed.
Also I’m surprised and confused that they did a honey themed palette without any of the really yellow colors that are so popular right now and underrepresented in their collection. Huge missed opportunity, plus none of the colors they went with are suggestive of honey. Swarm looks closest to the mark, but it’s very tame.
I actually feel like a lot of the shades are suuuper reminiscent of the original, freshly DC’d Naked palette with a little bit of Melt’s more modern color scheme thrown in? It’s definitely a miss for me. I find it really boring and derivative :/
First, this is so late to the game. So many other brands have already released Honey themed palettes. And yet again it’s one note. No depth. All colors will muddy together and you will only be able to create one look. Yes not pink or orange. But we need more gold and brown? Brown? This will collect dust with the other UD palettes like the Naked Cherry and Reloaded and eventually just go on sale at Ulta like most UD palettes. Pass
Oh wow, I forgot about Reloaded. Yeah, so much more of the same.
I personally love my naked cherry palette!
Looks promising!
At this point, I don’t think they should be calling it “Naked,” it’s just an eyeshadow palette haha. But I second that it’s nice to not see the same orange and rosy tones.
Agree. Why naked? The red one, naked? Flayed would fit better.
Meh. Maybe I’ll change my mind after I see swatches.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this palette. I thought of you as soon as I heard about this palette, remembering your love for the Honey deluxe eyeshadow from years back.
I think I would have been more impressed if Flyby and Sweet weren’t there. When I cover those two shades up, it’s a nice looking palette, but I won’t be buying it.
Those are the same 2 shades I would change also. I’d have rather seen a buttery yellow matte for Flyby and a vibrant yellow metallic for Sweet.
It’s pretty, but I’m underwhelmed. This was the release I was looking forward to the most after the trademark leak, as there are so many beautiful kinds of honey and vibrant species of bees. To me, half of these browns look like shades they’ve released before in other palettes, the gold stands out, but that’s not even a new shade. Swapping out two of the browns for green shades might have helped, I don’t know. I’m not trying to be a killjoy, I just was hoping for more.
Golly, this might be a Naked palette I can actually wear! Nice!
It feels too much like other Honey-themed items to me. In particular Too Faced peanut butter palettes. I am also underwhelmed. I’m waiting for a new color scheme from someone.
Love this Honey more than ColourPop’s all yellow version! Golden yes, but not purely so. This one does have my interest in seeing how it fares. ?
Haven’t felt excited about a UD palette in a while. This looks gorgeous. So happy it’s not a million orange shades like everything else right now.
Agreed. Although I also agree with another commenter who said they wished there were more true yellows in this palette. I think this palette partnered with Colourpop’a Uh-huh Honey palette will give me a more complete spectrum of yellow shades. Annoying to have to buy two, though.
This palette is right up my alley, excited to see swatches! But I agree that they should probably come up with a new name for this line of palettes, doesn’t seem quite Naked to me.
I think this might be my first Naked palette.
Oh, man. I was starting to fear that we were mired in pinks and red-toned neutrals forevermore.
Not sure I exactly need this palette, but I’d almost be tempted to buy it just to encourage the industry to keep moving in this direction!
I’m glad to see they’re bringing back Honey! I love the shade and I hope they bring back Honey eyeliner too ❤️
This looks like my cup of tea! I love the colors they picked. Kinda reminds me of the 1st Naked palette and I loved that one. This color scheme is what I wanted for the Naked Reloaded palette. I love all of the Naked palettes. that I own. Can’t wait for this release!!
I like this more than I did the first time I saw it! It looked super ashy and one-dimensional in Trendmood’s post. But, I already have Melt Gemini, which is way more interesting (to me) anyway.
This has my attention. I’m more into this than the Naked Reloaded. I will be interested to see swatches. I will be considering this to purchase.
It just looks like a lot of brown that I already have a ton of.
I haven’t bought any of these Naked palettes but once I see this in person, I might. I prefer browns for eyeshadows and golds for highlighting so this one might appeal to me.
I instantly reacted positively to this, but then I covered up the Honey shade with my finger and that kind of brought me back down to earth as far as how different the palette isn’t. The other shades look pretty, but certainly already in my collection – other UD shades, never mind other brands. I still hope it’s a great palette for those who are going to buy it, and even if the shades are similar to other brands, if the performance is great/better, I’m all for that!
Meh…take away that gold color and it’s all just shades of brown. Would have been nicer if they added some greens.
I’ll probably end up getting this solely based on my love for the Deluxe palettte (Honey was my favourite shade)…I regret not buying a single eyeshadow of it back when those were also available. I’ll be interested to see if the formula is the same.
I love this! Reminds me of caramel and honey. If “Naked” is meant to be a lineup of monochromatic themed palettes, then a palette of golden browns seems awesome! I feel like a lighter vibrant gold or yellow would also have been nice but this makes me happy. I think I would need a companion palette to keep things interesting but this is great.
This looks beautiful!
ok, this is another naked palette. I think it will work well for ladies with brown eyes. In general, most palettes have too many brown shades which I don’t like for my green eyes.
It looks gorgeous to me, rich. I would have loved if they swapped the first three shades with variations of honey gold, or maybe even an amber, but I want this one..
The pop-effect? It’s a nice and cohesive palette for someone who starts out in make-up I guess. For me the greenish gold looks like the only interesting shadow in here. I think Urban Decay should take a little break…
As others have said, it’s nice to see a move away from all the reds, oranges, hot pinks, but I hope this doesn’t herald a new trend of all very mustard-y, yellowy eyeshadows and the sort of “jaundice” look. How I wish they’d just bring back the original Naked. I noticed too, a few weeks ago, that at least at Sephora, Naked2, which I think I actually prefer to the first Naked, is no longer available.
Oh…this is interesting. I was just over at the Sephora site about 5 min. after I posted my message and I see that Smashbox has come out with 2 new Cover Shot 8 pan palettes and one of them, aptly named “Desert”, has these sorts of colours in it – green/golds, warm browns, golden shades…so maybe this is the “next big thing”.
Naked2 is sold out on the Urban Decay website, also. But you can still get it at Ulta.
I have it; I’m unlikely ever to finish it but once palettes I’ve relied on for travel are discontinued and can’t be replaced if they’re lost in travelling, I leave them at home. I just think it’s a shame they’ve d/c’d their best (IMO) palettes!
I am surprised that no one mentions ND Gold palette. I think colour-wise this one looks pretty similar, but it definitely lacks the twist which ND nailed in Gold.
I can’t wait to compare these two in your palette dupes tool!
Meh, I hoped for much more yellow shades. Honey is the only shade that catches my eye.
If you cover up Honey, it’s just another boring warm toned palette with too many shimmers (IMO)
Easy pass.
This is a big fat NO for me. Not because I don’t like it, but because I do. The temptation will be great. I must resist. I have browns and golds and greens in my collection…lots of them. So, I must say NO.
Oooh, this looks pretty. Love the amber tones. I’m so sick of red and orange. Can’t wait for your review
I’m so tired of the “naked” theme, and this looks like the original Naked palette with one kind of yellowish shade thrown in. It’ll be a pass for me.
i’m not mad at it but not likely to buy soon after it’s release I just bought 2 Viseart palettes with plenty of brown shade variations…I do like where they are heading and like others comments I would recommend adding greens to future releases. I’m really feeling swampy type colors right now and wish more companies had a few more options that lean into mustard or camouflage greens.
I’m ready for this to be mine! I never got into the orange/red browns and am SO stoked that more neutral and cool tones are coming back – and this one is right up my alley. I think it will really bring out the green in my hazel eyes. I can’t wait to play with this one. UD shadows just always work well with my eyes, so this is one I won’t even wait for a review on. As soon as it is out I’ll be picking it up.
This is a beautiful palette! But I am definitely going to need to try these shades on to see how it looks with my skin tone. Sometimes certain makeup looks too yellow on me and I don’t want to look jaundiced LOL
I have the same problem. The more I look at this Naked Honey palette, the more I realize that a lot of these shades do indeed lean yellow, so I might be safe from temptation after all.
Based on the first promo images, I was not immediately wowed. However, the more I looked at the shades the more intrigued I am. I love that these neutrals have a yellow/olive undertone instead of red/orange. I am sooo sick of red/orange browns. I am really interested to see swatches because Swarm, Keeper, and Hive all look VERY similar. As do Amber, Golden, and HBIC. I am wondering how POC will be able to use this palette and if those shades will be indistinguishable from one another. I agree with the commenter that said this looks like a watered down version of Melt Gemini. Gemini is 1000% more interesting than this palette and I planned to buy it in the fall. So, we’ll see how this one fairs in the reviews!
I really like this. It is toned down yellow and that is more my taste. I like the green undertones in it. I think this will be my fall buy…
I’m pretty ambivalent to their palettes at this point, but as soon as I saw the announcement I absolutely thought “they better bring back the eyeliner for Christine!!”
This one just stumps me! Why??? Brown and a greenish gold? That’s it? They need to move on to so another way to define “nude”.
I have been waiting for this since the first leak of the name months ago. Looks like I am gonna have to wait to swatch in person. Lately I have been finding that the UD promo shots vary widely from one another. In these you can already see that some if the colors in the palette shot are quite different than the ones in the de-panned pic. Also really hoping they release this with a couple lippies and liners like they did with Cherry. But no honey scented All Nighter spray mmmkkay?
It looks really good and I’m interested….but I feel like my UD shadows are all so “dull” compared to all the other brands out there now. Not sure I can cough up the money for a palette I’ll ultimately find disappointing. :/
Can we stop pretending these are “naked” palettes? This is a nice colour story, but why “naked”.
This looks really similar to the original Naked palette, except plus a yellow shade and minus the black shades
I want to see the rest of the collection. But it will almost certainly be joining the entire library of Naked palettes I have. This looks like it might be my fave out of those palettes.
That “Honey” shade doesn’t look like the one I know and love! I’m a big fan of the Naked palettes (minus Smoky) and have developed a collect-them-all mentality, but I’m not sure how flattering these shades will be. Gotta swatch!
Where can I purchase urban decay naked honey eyeshadows set?
I am a little bit late to comment on this one, courtesy of no internet on my trip, but I like this naked palette much better than the last few. These shades are up my alley. Hopefully it will be good!
