Urban Decay Naked Heat is the eyeshadow palette to have in your beauty stash this summer. The fifth offering from the cult-fave UD Naked collection has a fiery assortment of shades and the gorgeous, summery palette has been met with much excitement. So much so, being the beauty addict and Urban Decay devotee that I am, I went batshit crazy and spent 45 minutes obsessively refreshing the UD website during the flash sale (deep breaths into a paper bag were useless). The pre-release set the internet on fire, but I managed to nab one after finding a direct link on Twitter before it sold out. I may have blindly bought Naked Heat, but it was a no brainer as I love warm toned eyeshadow palettes and I can confirm it’s bloody lovely.
Urban Decay Naked Heat has the same set-up as their other palettes and includes a full sized mirror and a dual ended brush. It houses 12 all new shades a medley of burnt oranges, butterscotch, browns and coppers with a mix of shimmer and matte finishes. These shades make my blue eyes pop and although I have similar colours in my collection, this is a major win in my opinion as two of the shades are almost exact dupes for my top two most worn Makeup Geek eyeshadows. I do find a few of the shades get a little lost when applied together on the lid and my only gripe is I wish it had a bright gold. For this reason alone, it’s not a one stop palette. But as I’m in the midst of matte obsession and Naked Heat has several stand-alone shades that add a bit of somethin’ somethin’ to my lids and look beautiful paired with shedloads of mascara, it meets my makeup needs.
Urban Decay Naked Heat is a nice addition to the Naked line-up and is a worthwhile investment if you’re looking for a product to transform your collection this Summer. It’s on sale officially 27th July retailing at £39.50 via this link. And yes, it might break the internet, so if you haven’t got your hands on it already, I’m afraid to say it might be a long wait. So pop the date in your diaries, as this is one to add to your basket!
