Drop your makeup brushes (or rather pick them up) as an Urban Decay Naked Honey palette is coming.
And it’s a keeper.
The iconic brand renowned for their 12-pan Naked eyeshadow palettes teased the upcoming release on Lizzo’s Instagram where the singer showed us the all-new hues and packaging commenting that the palette, ‘looked like Beyonce in Austin Powers Gold Member’.
The palette includes 12 never-before-seen golden, brown and amber hues, in a range of glitters, mattes and shimmers intended to give a ‘retro golden glow’ according to Urban Decay. Sounds gorgeous huh?
Aptly named, the shades include Sting, a darkened warm matte brown, Hive, a muted beige-brown, and Honey, a shimmering yellow gold. Dreamy.
And get this, on first look a handful of the shades are reminiscent of the now discontinued original Naked eyeshadow palette. Could this be a reincarnation of our old favourite?
As with every Urban Decay palette the Naked Honey palette shares the same high-quality formula boasting pigmented, long-wearing, and super-blendable shades.
Lizzo showcased the palette with a glowing look created by makeup artist Alexz Mayo, who said: ‘Lizzo is not afraid of playing with colour or shape. We never do the same look twice, and she constantly inspires my creativity.’
She’s shared how to create the look below.
How to do Lizzo’s Naked Honey look:
Base:
- Prep skin with Quick Fix
- Stay Naked Vegan Foundation – (Lizzo’s shade is 70WR)
- Stay Naked Concealer (Lizzo’s shade is 70WO)
- Set face with All Nighter Waterproof Setting Powder
Eyes:
- Enhance the brows with Brow Blade in shade Dark Drapes. Pencil first to fill in gaps, followed by the ink stain to create fine hair like strokes
- Prime the eye area with Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Caffeine
- Generous coatings of Perversion Waterproof Mascara
Naked Honey:
There are no better eyeshadow hues to compliment her complexion and outfit. Using a mixture of the shades, Drip + Sting, start from the outer corners through to the crease.
Then fill in the eye base using shade Golden, patting on with a flat brush. I sprayed the brush with All Nighter Setting Spray first to really make the pigment pop and hold in place.
Finish the look with jet black eye pencil all along the lash line and smudge back out to the outer corners.
Lips:
- Finish the look with a nude lip, to keep focus on the eyes, using Liar 24/7 lip liner all over. Because Lizzo has the perfect pout, we packed on a mixture of Vice Lipstick in Native and Hi Fi Gloss in Goldmine
Not forgetting All Nighter Setting Spray. No glam is complete without a final spritz of this hero.
Unsurprisingly makeup lovers are buzzing about the upcoming launch with many sharing their excitement online:
