Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics Palette Swatches
Blow
light nude demi-matte
Pale peachy nude satin. Makes me think a little bit of Makeup Geek Shimma Shimma.
Nudie
soft pink-nude matte
Light peach beige matte. This reminds me a little bit of Makeup Geek Beaches & Cream.
Commando
light taupe-brown matte
Light peachy taupe matte. It reminds me of the Naked 2 Basics palette.
Tempted
pale brown matte
Light brown matte. It reminds me of the Naked 2 Basics palette.
Instinct
medium pink-taupe matte
Medium taupe brown with a hint of pink matte. I wanted this to be like Laced, but it’s not. That’s my go-to transition color for so many looks these days.
Lethal
reddish brown matte
Deep brown with red undertones matte.
Pre-Game
pale yellow matte
Light yellow matte. This reminds me a little of UD Foxy.
Extra Bitter
burnt orange matte
Deep orange with brown undertones matte. This is the most popular shade of the year, I swear. Everyone is obsessed with it.
Faith
medium warm brown matte
Midtone warm brown with orange undertones matte.
Lockout
rich neutral brown matte
Midtone brown matte.
Magnet
smoky gray matte
Grey taupe matte.
Blackjack
warm black matte
Warm Black matte.
Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics Palette Looks
The above photos were right after I had my eyebrows microbladed here in Tampa. They have a cream on them.
This look was after they’d partially healed.
This was taken at Dragon Con in Atlanta.
This was taken a few days ago, right after my eyebrow microblading touch up.
UD Naked Ultimate Basics Palette Review
Instinct, Tempted, and Commando all remind me of the Naked Basics 2 palette, which is not my favorite. Those shades do me no favors. I wish Instinct was more pink-toned like Laced. I wish Tempted was a light grey or grey-taupe. I wish Commando was slightly more peach toned. Nudie was darker than I expected, I was hoping it would be like Walk of Shame. Lockout and Faith are very similar. I would have just picked Lockout because you can always mix a bit of Extra Bitter with Lockout to make Faith. And I really wish that Lethal was a deep burgundy (no brown tones).

I’m very happy with the eyeshadow formula in the Naked Ultimate Basics palette. They’re easy to work with and blend together. The palette works well if you think of the top row as mostly transitional shades (except Lethal) or light / easy makeup look colors. The bottom row is perfect for lining or spicing things up.
This palette has become a staple for me and I’ve been using it 3 times or more a week. If you have hooded eyes like me and prefer mattes on your hood, you may love this palette.
You can get the Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics palette at Ulta, Sephora, Nordstrom, Macys, and UrbanDecay.com.

Cannot wait to try the Ultimate palette I picked up during last week’s Ulta sale – based on your recommendation … THANK YOU!!
My first thoughts on this palette was ‘oh no, not more mid tone browns!’ -with three shades that would look the same on me. Like you, I wished there was another one or two grey shades – including a perfect grey taupe. Mushroom/Derailed are some of my favourite colours of all time. And the red tones just don’t suit me either.
However I am pleased to hear from your video, that you loved it and used it a lot.
I know you’re more colorful like me but I’m really loving it for every day too!
This isn’t my style but I think it’s really pretty. The two shades I like the most are Tempted and Lookout.
Thanks for the review, I’ve been wondering if I NEED it.
This palette is amazing. It has everything that I want in a shadow palette.
I love all of your looks! It’s a great palette but I’m not sure I need it considering the amount of palettes I have, haha. Time will tell… 😉
This palette looks really good! I’d totally be into it if I didn’t have these shades multiple times already 😛 I love the warm toned look you made. The red hair looks great on you!
Thank you so much! Yeah I know some of us have quite extensive collections!
