The NYX Butt Naked Eye Palette ($25) is an awesome palette for the price. The palette contains 15 neutral eyeshadows, 4 blush colors, a bronzer and 2 highlighters.
I’m always really happy with NYX products. The eyshadows and blushers are all highly pigmented and go on smoothly. With this Butt Naked palette you get a nice combination of both matte and shimmer shadows. The blushers range from pale pink to a medium pink. And you get one golden yellow highlighter and one peach highlighter.
As you can see, the blush, bronzer and illuminators are all tucked away in a slide out tray. I love that everything is nicely contained in one convenient package. Yes, the palette is a bit bulky to carry around in your purse but it would be feasible to pack in an overnight bag easily. It measures about 5 ¾” lengthwise and 4 ½” across. Not too bulky at all to me.
When compared to the Urban Decay Naked palettes, this is half the cost for way more product. And actually the eyeshadow colors are much different. The Urban Decay Naked palettes center more around lighter tans and browns whereas this NYX palette is more centered around off whites, pinks, and grays.
I will say that if you want more actual color, the Urban Decay Naked palettes give you more. This NYX palette provides color but in more of a subtle natural way. So if you like light natural looks, this is good for you.
Aren’t the blush colors beautiful? I love them! They are worth buying the palette just for them alone. The bronzer and highlighters may look dark in my swatches but that was done on purpose so you could actually see them. In person they are light and very wearable.
So, do you need this NYX Butt Naked Eyes palette if you already own the Urban Decay Naked palettes? I’d say yes. The eyeshadow shades are different enough to justify owning both. Plus you get all the extras too!
