Silk Naturals Bare Necessities Smoky Set vs. Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette
Today I’ve got my Silk Naturals Bare Necessities Smoky Set vs. Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette swatches and comparison to share with you. I did swatch these on primer, on my arm. The Silk Naturals set is gluten free, talc free, bismuth oxychloride free and vegan. So if you love UD’s Smoky palette but need a vegan version, this is it! You can buy each Silk Naturals shade individually or as a set.

I want to get lip swatches done but since I haven’t had time to do that, I wanted to at lease give you arm swatches.
Overall, I think Silk Naturals Bare Necessities Smoky is a very close dupe for the Naked Smoky Palette. I feel like the Silk Naturals colors are more pigmented and easier to work with, provided you’re comfortable with loose eyeshadows. I also think that if there were only one or two colors you wanted from the palette, this is a great way to get them.

Score, Cult and 90s are all calling m name.
Cherry Black is gorgeous!
Wow – that Silk Naturals looks fabulous. I think I’d love it.
Well if I DO decide to get something like Smoky (which I’m still humming and hawing over), I’m definitely getting the SN palette instead!
So close! And the colors look fantastic!
The tinted balms are gorgeous! This is a great comparison! Thanks for the helpful swatches.
Wow, they are so close! Good comparison post
Really close dupe! I wish they could have gotten that blue in Dagger, but it’s the only one that’s not even better than the UD version. Vegan cosmetics have come such a long way.
Amazing comparison. They are so close! And your swatches, as usual are on point.
Overall, the shades are pretty much dupes. I really like this comparison – so helpful! I like that now I can purchase the shades I want individually.
Those lip colors are killing me! And my wallet!
That is amazing at how close the shades are!! Your swatches are excellent.
Perfect swatches and your comparisons are fabulous. It’s nice to know that I could buy my favorite shades on their own.
I love seeing your side by side comparisons! This would be a great way for someone to pick and choose which colors they like out of the palette!
I definitely think it’s great for people who only want 2 or 3 shades 😉
They’re pretty close but I like some of the golds in the Silk Naturals palette more.
The Silk Naturals shades are definitely more pigmented
I love the SN versions!
They are so pretty!
Silk Naturals surpassed UD on these shades, if you ask me.
I think they did too, since all the SN ones are easy to blend and super pigmented.
Wow, defo prefer the SN palette. It’s funny, when I saw it launch on the site I thought ‘meh’ but seeing your swatches makes me really want the majority of colours here! Awesome!
So happy to hear that you love the swatches 🙂
Wow, the Silk Naturals palette is very impressive. The swatches are better than the UD. And the lippie shades are gorgeous
So glad you like them!
wow so pretty! I love loose shadows, I just forget to use them because of all my palettes heheh
I sometimes have that issue too!
