The Naked 1 palette by Urban Decay was my first choice for my new
"Loving Your Unloved" series, where I'll be using a neglected product for a solid month. I'm hoping this series will help me use items that are neglected and languishing, for whatever reason. I don't have a long enough attention span to focus on something until it's completely used up, but hopefully this series will help me put in a dent in products or convince me it's time to let them go.
Naked 1 seems to be universally loved, but mine hasn't seen much action in the 3+ years I've owned it. After a solid month of use, I can say I've developed an affection for a little over half of the shadows, namely Virgin, Sin, Naked, Buck, Smog, Toasted and Hustle. Creep and Gun Metal are just not colors I wear often, and Sidecar's glitter was a bit much for me. Half-Baked is pretty but more metallic than I care for, and I had a hard time figuring how I wanted to use Darkhorse.
Now, lots of pictures of the looks I created in May using Naked 1:
But did I make any obvious dent in the palette? I used Sin the most consistently as an inner eye highlighter, followed by Buck and Naked as all over lid shades or for definition.

The biggest difference I can tell is that the surface of most of the shadows in the May 25th picture look more mussed, which is a sign of usage, but it's hard to tell a significant difference. Gives me an idea of how long I'd have to concentrate on any one shadow in order to use it up, which = not happening.

Now the question is, what item am I going to focus on for June? Hmmm.....

I have to say you've inspired me to dig out my palette! I'm exactly the same as you, I've always favored 'Virgin' on this palette too :) The look you created is beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteFocusing on it for a month definitely helped me to appreciate Naked more! In fact, I pulled it out again yesterday just to use Virgin, as the palette I was using didn't have a good inner eye highlighter shade :-)
