OMG…UD finally did it! It would have been better if it had been all purple/mauve shades. I like peachy shades with violets and purples, though. Anyway, if the quality is as good, you bet I’m buying it. Once upon a time UD did the best purples…those were the days…
It has been so long so I’ve been excited by a new Urban Decay product. I hope the quality on this is good because I am LOVING this!!
I had the same thought about how a purple palette from Urban Decay has been a long time in coming–especially since the brand was once known for it–not to mention that their website color scheme, packaging, and logo are all purple. I’m all over the color story and am crossing my fingers over the quality!
Finally! UD made a naked palette especially for me! I hope the formula is Just as good as Naked Honey.
I love it! I hope they also make a green one. 🙂
Seconded!
That would be awesome.
Yes, I would love a green one – no reds, pinks or oranges for a change.
One that’s jewel tones would be nice too!
Wow I love this color story! Looks like a couple duo-chrome shadows in the palette. Glad they did red and blue purples! Can wait for the review!
Since Heat, I’ve been bored with all the Naked releases. But not this one. No. This one is GORGEOUS!
I hope she swatches well, because dang I think I might need this.
People have been creating Photoshop fantasy versions of UD palettes like this using the Naked format and posting them on IG for ages. It is so funny they actually are going to make one like this for real!
Loooool why is this part of the Naked line? Is it just what they’re calling their rectangular 12 pan palettes? Misnomer aside, I honestly love this and really appreciate the return to the brand’s original signature colors. The white/green duochrome is particularly inspired in the context of the color scheme and reads as exciting and modern, yet also very old school grungey UD. I hope this palette lives up to its promise because it really grabs my attention.
With strong greens firmly making a comeback lately (Thank you, Melt.), it’s nice to see purple coming out of retirement. It was such a dominant color of eyeshadow during my adolescence it was pretty shocking to me how hard to find and niche purple had become in the last ten years.
I need them to stop calling these Naked palettes.
But yes, of course I will buy it. Just with epic side eye.
Can we please stop sticking oranges in EVERYTHING?
Exactly!
Oh I so AGREE!!!
That pastel green is a stroke of genius! Christine, you once did an eye look with a light green/aqua color on your lower lashline and it was beyond beautiful! & I think this palette kinda works off that idea, where the contrasting color & hue could be used to give the purple shades a duo-chrome-illusion effect. And as a shimmer topper (as opposed to chalky pastel matte), it’d be flattering for every skintone too. The palette is like a Norvina but better vibes.
Love UD’s Palettes so this one is most likely going to be mine.
WOOHOO!!! They listened to us when we said we want a Naked purple theme palette! Admittedly, it took years of clamoring for this, but here we are. I’m so dayum excited for this! ???
I’m a sucker for purple. I’d like to see swatches though before I buy because money is tight. I was actually a bit disappointed with Naked Cherry, but Naked Honey redeemed UD in my eyes. I’m hoping it’s as good as Naked Honey!
Nope, not feeling it… Plus my skintone has a very strong yellow undertone, purple eyeshadow just looks like bruises on me.
I would be all over a green Naked palette, maybe even some blue with pops of teal.
Interesting! My first thought is, “Samantha Ravndahl will hate this.” My second is that purples are often duds, especially in palettes (as opposed to singles)…I expect some mixed grades within the palette.
The purples are nice but the brown shades just look out of place to me.
I am SO with you on that! And haven’t brown/orange/warm shades been done to absolute death? Maybe they included them just so they could call this “Naked”. (Woulda been better if they replaced those browns with mauves or greens and called it “Space Alien Naked” or virtually anything else….)
Is it just me or has Urban Decay lost their (formerly leading) edge? They seem SO mainstream and uncreative the past several years. Sad from a company that used to pretty much lead the colourful way.
Same. I don’t need any more neutrals. UD had a chance to wow us with purple, and instead they sent a half-baked pile of orange with some purple on the side–less than half the palette is purple! Hard pass.
Ditto??
I said it before, Urban Decay needs to start a different eyeshadow palette line than Naked Honey, Cherry and Heat weren’t Naked… and this is neither.
Yay! Purple! I would have preferred even more purple but I’m still excited to see how it rates.
I was wondering when UD would finally get around to creating a purple themed palette – after all we’ve had cherry, honey, red/orange…. The only shade that I am not quite sure why it is there is Lucid – the aqua colour. It looks out of sync with the rest of the colour story.
I just hope it is a good one – for all the purple lovers out there. No yucky glitter shades to ruin the party.
I’ll wager that Lucid is some type of duochrome or topper. What the photo shows might not be how it shows up on the eye. But, I could be wrong; it’s just my thought…
And three cheers for your glitter comment! I am so over having at least one shadow in each palette that I have to avoid, lol…
ReaderRita, you’re right. It is a duochrome topper shade.
Basically, yes. If this is decent I.am.in. Their recent few have been total passes – tooo warm. I love these warm purples, though. Lucid and Optimized look dreamy.
Oh I want this so much! I can’t wait to see your review on this palette!!!
Whoa! I have so many purple shadows but I want them all. Haha. I hope this rates well! I’m so excited!
Shuuuut uuuuup!!!! I WANT THIS PALETTE!!!! Even though I mostly wear Pat McGrath stuff now, the idea of a purple Urban Decay palette makes my heart go all a-flutter!! Can’t wait!
OMGNESS this palette is gonna be fire ?! I can not wait for it to come out. These shades are all so gorgeous. This is the first time hearing about this. I love being subscribed to your newsletters. Thank you for all your incredible work you do on your page.
I’m not really a purple person but I like this mix of colors. If it performs well, I will buy it. Based on comments today, I am getting off the fence about naked honey too.
I really want to like this , like I love the colorstory but at the same time I’m worried about the quality as the Wired collection was kind of a let down . Colors I love but the reviews were pretty bad . But UD used to be known for thier amazing purples.
Wow! That’s very interesting! The only ud’s releases that have caught my eye in a while… Probay I don’t need it, I’m plenty of purple. But I’m excited to see how it performs
A very interesting palette! I like peach and purple together as a color combo.
Me too! I think this palette could create some amazing looks.
Yes please. I like the Naked palettes but they are so monochromatic. Time to go back to the UD tradition of being wild and colorful and shiny!
There was a time waaaay back when purple was my thing (I think one of my first “luxury” eyeshadows was Estee Lauder Smokey Plum more than 40 years ago) but no longer. I’m not crazy about Warning and Lucid but still might end up getting this at some point. I am really happy, though, for all of the purple-lovers out there. It’s clear from the comments here that there are lots and lots of them and they’ve all been waiting for something like this so I really am glad for them!
Half the shades are really pushing the Naked franchise. I live in hope that one day they will release a Naked Olive.
Ooh, that would be a good take on Naked (although I don’t think it’d personally suit me). I love purple, but Naked this is not.
Olives and khakis would be a great, underrated neutrals for a Naked Palette.
I completely agree!
I really do hope this performs well.
This is near to the exact color story of Rimmel Electric Violet- although this will be much much better pigmentation. But i do look at this and think ‘I own it.’
Yes!
I hope this will get good reviews.
I want it, I will have it (unless it’s really bad). It’s been a long time but I finally feel the need, the need for a new eyes shadow palette.
Ok UD…you have everyone’s attention! Gods I really hope this is amazing. I’ll be handing over cash and Ulta points for sure.
Am I excited for a primarily purple palette? Yes. Do I think this is not a “NAKED” palette? Extra yes. The whole point (and correct me if I’m wrong) of the moniker NAKED was that it was undressed/neutrals. Such a small nitpick considering UD has some amazing purple eye shadows and so I have high hopes that this will be good. I just wish they the name made a bit more sense.
I had the exact same thought about the NAKED moniker, this is the farthest thing from naked hahahaha… but I think they have basically abandoned the neutrals concept already with palettes like Cherry and Heat, although this is definitely the wildest departure.
Perfect color scheme!
These purples look like amazing shades. I hope this is the beginning of a cooler toned palette trend. UD eyeshadow formula just fades and creases like crazy on me, despite primers. I think it is too soft. But, I would love to see similar color schemes in from other brands. (Fingers crossed).
This palette inspired me to pull out purple eye shadow and top it with the Kristen Leanne green duochrome in Leo. It looked really good! I used a light hand with the green, so it just added a subtle something. I think this could be a great palette if the quality is there. I’m hoping one of the purples is a dupe for UD’s Infamous.
I would love to see the all matte Naked Basics version of this! I’m thinking a white/mint with various shades of purple.
Would have been better without the first three colors. Okay, if this is an A- and I find it on sale, then maybe I’ll buy a UD palette again. Haven’t purchased a palette from them since Nude III. (Yes, believe it or not). Prefer their singles.
I haven’t been a big purple wearer for a long, long time, but if I was then this would be something to pick up. I rather like my Honey palette and think UD can nail a formula and color story well when they commit.
Interesting color palette… nice to see something different from UD…. will be curious to see how all those purples perform with how difficult purples can be to formulate, especially that pastel. I have found over the years that the UD formula just doesn’t work well for me, I find things just get muddy when I blend them out… still tempting if this performs well though hahaha
I logged back on to say ABOUT TIME! Finally some violets and purples and some cool-toned eyeshadows!
Eh… there are purples, yes… but that doesn’t make this a cool-toned palette (ala the Laura Mercier Artiste or MJ Steeletto palettes). Looking at the first 3 shades, it looks more warm/neutral to me! Will wait to see swatches.
