Makeup Wars Urban Decay Pulp Fiction vs. Naked Basics

Makeup Wars Urban Decay Pulp Fiction vs. Naked Basics

For today’s Makeup Wars we’ve pitted Urban Decay Pulp Fiction vs. Naked Basics (original or the 2nd). I decided to showcase how I like to use a neutral palette like the Pulp Fiction (or Naked Basics or Naked 2 Basics) with brights like the Electric Palette. The Pulp fiction is a new favorite of mine and the Naked Basics has been a staple of my makeup arsenal for two years. Love it!

I left my hair as straight as I could manage with all of my layers for this video and these pictures so that you can see that my hair has really been growing. It still has so far to go! I love seeing the progress I’ve made since January.

For me, between the original Naked Basics and Naked 2 Basics I prefer the original because it has higher contrasting colors. This is also why I like the Pulp Fiction palette. The Naked 2 Basics has more mid-tone shades that are not as flattering on my skintone as higher contrast shades.

I really love seeing how Fringe looks with Anger. I would also wear it with Crave.

Which palettes do you choose? How do you like to wear them?

  1. I was sold on the naked 2 basics until your reviews comparing naked basics palettes dropped. I bought naked basics instead and am loving it. Thanks Courtney!

  17. Even though this was all about neutral palettes, you’ve inspired me to pull out my Electric Palette! Love the look you created!

  26. I love that you did a look with two palettes! Gives me ideas for cross-pollinating my UD palettes too, lol!

  27. I absolutely LOVE this look! Unlawful looks gorgeous on you, such a beautiful colour. Ooh, what is that pencil brush you use at the very beginning to apply Anger?
