If you’re building your makeup wardrobe with all the essential eyeshadow palettes, don’t miss out on the Urban Decay Naked Heat palette. It can be purchased directly on their website. In fact, this iconic palette comes in 12 warm sizzling-hot colours.
This has a mix of smooth shimmers, glittering metallics and silky matte tones of orangey, burnt-reddish hues. In simple, think of amber neutral shades, the kind of hues that you would see whenever you take a walk down a park during autumn.
Having said that, these shades compliment the essence of Summer so well. Why? They have all the popping neutrals and the rich, sensual hues.
Genius Packaging
Packaging-wise, it includes a large mirror and a double-ended brush. It has a hard-shell case and is very similar to the Naked Smokey Palette. Urban decay’s eye brushes are pure genius, and this time instead of having a shader and a blender, it has on both ends a bigger and a smaller blending brushes.
Did you know it took over a year to craft this masterpiece? For instance, the colour Chaser can be used all over the lid but still has an eye-popping warm tone to it. And the illuminating Ounce shade does the highlighting for you but you could also use it for intense smoking as well. With every stroke, your creativity could blossom.
Also, the organisation of the palette is very intentional. On the far left, you have your base eye shades. This can work as your highlight,all-over lid hues, and crease or transition color. On the right side, you’ve got the dark shades that help to define and edge up any look. Then in between, you have the choices that can make your eye look quite terra-cotta, butterscotch or burgundy.
