Silk Naturals Bare Necessities Smoky Set vs. Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette

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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Perfect swatches and your comparisons are fabulous. It’s nice to know that I could buy my favorite shades on their own.

  5. They’re pretty close but I like some of the golds in the Silk Naturals palette more.

  6. 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!

  7. Wow, the Silk Naturals palette is very impressive. The swatches are better than the UD. And the lippie shades are gorgeous
