I love the Naked Basics palette, it is the perfect companion to any palette! Well tonight I was playing on my makeup and I thought hmm I wonder if I could use naked 2 as a face contour. So I did and OMG I love it! It's a great contour color! I wish I would have thought to use it for this a long time ago!! I mean naked 2 is a taupey brown - the perfect color for contouring. It really gave off the appearance of casting a shadow. I wanted to use a shade from naked basics for my highlight as well, so I first applied Venus(Iwas good with just using Venus, that is my favorite highlight shade. I have hit pan on it, it is my rid or die brow bone/inner corner shade and I don't know what to do when I run out! Why don't they sell it individually? (Probably reasoning for finding other ways to use this palette I've also hit pan on w.o.s. - my ride or die transistion/blend out shade and again why don't they sell it individually??) and then I added a little bit of foxy and that made it a little less shimmery but still very pretty. I also tried mixing Venus with w.o.s. And that was pretty too, it would all just depend on on your preference, skin tone and if your more into shimmer/satin, demi-matte or matte highlights. I however love me some shimmer and glitter!! Lol so anyway I love the Urban Decay Naked Basics it is a very versatile palette I have found. I have always thought it was the perfect companion palette but tonight I learned some new things, the contouring and highlighting with it will probably only work for fair to medium skin tones so that sucks for you darker toned ladies and gents but I still stand by the companion palette!! If anyone has any other tips or things they use this palette for other than for eyeshadow/eyeliner I'd love to hear them and If you try using the palette to contour with let me know what you think!!

I also use this palette to contour too! As well as eyeshadow, eyeliner, and for my eyebrows. 😸
