For the sexy yet "I'm not high maintenance" look, January 15, 2011
This review is from: Too Faced Cosmetics, Naked Eye Palette, 0.36-ounce (Misc.)
I'm a very fair blonde, and I've worn makeup since I was a very young teen. I also have a cosmetology license, so I have learned how to professionally apply makeup. This eyeshadow set is a very good one, if you're willing to pay the price! I'm not going to lie, you could buy a few different drug store brand eye shadows to achieve the same effects - but this set is very complete and good quality shadows.
I've been a heavy makeup wearer for well over a decade now, but lately as I approach my thirties it's occurred to me that it might be good to tone it down some as I age. I wear a lot of colorful shadows, but I wanted to try something a bit more sophisticated and mature. This set of eye shadows really does have the perfect tones to achieve the "naked eye" look, as it claims to. I'm not actually wearing less makeup, but it looks like I am! You can contour and accent the eye without your face screaming, "Look at me! I wear too much makeup!!!"
The applicator this set comes with is okay, I do wish they had included two applicators instead of just one (although it has two ends, one end has an eyeshadow applicator and the other is a brush for lining the eye). Considering this set has 9 colors, it would be nice to have more than one applicator! The box is chunky, too, not the type of makeup accessory you'd throw in your little makeup bag. It's best stored at home in a bathroom drawer. The "guides" it comes with, which demonstrates which colors to apply in order to achieve specific "looks", is a nice touch. I love being able to alternate between the matte eye shadows, or using the shimmery ones - or sometimes both! All of the shadows apply very well - In The Buff is especially nice as an under-eye brightener for someone as fair skinned as myself.
If you're willing to pay the money for this set, I'd say it is an excellent tool for your makeup bag if you want a versatile eye shadow set with which you can get both the natural or smokey eye look if you prefer. With that being said, there are also less expensive brands which carry very similar colors, and you could piece together your own set of "naked eye" shadows if you really wanted to. With Too Faced, however, you will get slightly higher quality. I've been very happy with how beautifully these colors apply.

GORGEOUS, February 17, 2011
This review is from: Too Faced Cosmetics, Naked Eye Palette, 0.36-ounce (Misc.)
This has some great colors. You don't really look like "naked" eye, but what would the point of that be? There is a great black that is very blendable and gives a very doe-eyed look when used properly. SEXY. This is a great product. It is cheaper at Sephora.

Gorgeous Eyes easy as Pie!, November 6, 2010
I bought this set on a whim and instantly fell in love. The colors are soft, sheer, and sexy. The set comes with instructions for the three different looks or you can mix and match. I love the classic look & I also love Pink Cheeks by itself. I get compliments when I use this set. I like it so much so that I rarely wear any of my other eyeshadows anymore! This is my first purchase from this brand and I am very pleased.
