Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette: Overview

This eye shadow palette comes in the traditional for the Urban Decay Naked series package that features a double-ended brush and a big mirror inside. The Naked Heat palette comes in a cardboard box, and the palette packaging itself is plastic. The colors of the shadows are red- and orange-based. We have noticed, that these eye shadows perform well over the eye shadow primer and feature way better color playoff. In general, both mattes and shimmers from this palette feature drier formula, than shadows with the same finish from the other palettes by UD. The shadows do not appear that creamy, as they appeared in the previous palettes. Yet, the mattes in this palette are more pigmented, than in the Naked Smoky palette.

• Shadows blend well.
• Deep brown shadows run together and feel like they lack contrast.
• Formula is drier, than in the previous UD palettes.
• Shimmer eye shadows are thinner and less pigmented.
• Mattes feature noticeably better pigmentation.

It stays well for 8 hours without fading out or getting darker in the edges.

Ashes

This is a plum eye shadow with warm brownish undertone and matte finish. The formula is somewhat dry, which makes it stiff in pan. You will have to put some effort to apply it evenly due to its dry formula, so if you want to get that even coverage, it’s better to apply primer prior to this eye shadow application. Alternatively, you can apply it on top of the other matte shadows for that deep effect. The shadow wears for 7.5 hours without creasing.
