I of course had to try out every single shade in this palette. My only gripe? Hive and Drip look nearly identical on my skin tone, but that is an issue that many Naked palettes have. Not only are they very stunning and smooth and blendable, they also build up easily and it takes mere seconds to lay down the base for a look. The mattes is where this palette truly shines though: these are some of the best mattes Urban Decay has ever done. All the other shimmers are great though and you get a few different textures in the shimmer range which I appreciate. I think you can see here what I mean: while all the shades go on intensely pigmented the Honey shade looks a little sheer and just not as vibrant. Despite that older shadow being easily 10 years old, it outperformed this new one. When I reviewed this palette against the other palettes in the Naked line in a video last year, I swatched this Honey shade against an older one I have. It is for sure the weakest shade in the palette: great as a topper, but if you want to wear it by itself you have to put in some work. The two yellow tones in the middle are gorgeous, but I wished that the Honey shade was perhaps a bit better in quality. In this palette you get a range of shades in a 12 pan palette that has an even split between mattes and shimmers. The darkest shade is deep but not so deep that a fair skinned gal like myself can’t make it work. The palette is very neutral and doesn’t go too deep either. Who has ever seen green toned honey? Not me. Some of these shades even have a green undertone to them. If this would have been called the Naked Mustard it would have be much better named, as I feel this palette is mainly a bunch of warm toned yellows that are different renditions of mustard browns and yellows. I already mentioned this before in videos and I’ll say it again: I love this color story. What does the Urban Decay Naked Honey have to offer? It is not as buttery smooth as some other brands currently on the market, but for a palette that is called Naked we don’t want anything too intense of course. It is why the Urban Decay Naked formula is one of my all time favorite eyeshadow formulas. These shade can be build up and blend like a dream. This the UD eyeshadow formula that I know and love: pigmented but still easy to work with. At €55 a pop you could say that it is a bit expensive for what you get in most cases, but the formula of the Naked Honey palette is on point. Urban Decay Naked palettes do not come cheap. Review: Urban Decay Naked Honey eyeshadow palette Here is how I fared with the Urban Decay Naked Honey eyeshadow palette including swatch and three makeup looks. Because I realized that while oranges may not look great on me, yellow tones do! So if I have to go warm toned I just knew this would look much better on me. ![]() So when Urban Decay released the Naked Honey palette I was all ears. ![]() Mustardy browns, warm burgundies, berries: it just screams fall to me. It’s the perfect time of year for warm tones.
