I have to say, spending $50 on this palette was definitely work it! The shadows are very pigmented and don't crease! If you are willing to spend a hefty penny on a palette I would go for this one!
A great palette for anyone who loves neutrals or works in a place where makeup is kept minimal. The palette would be great for those office environments, but can easily transition to night with the variety of deeper shades that help make a smoky eye. The shadows themselves are velvet-soft and very pigmented! A great buy, especially for those who are starting out... for a small investment you can create many different looks!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this palette. Bought it last Christmas as a gift to myself (hehe) and basically have neglected all other eyeshadows in my makeup collection ever since. This is all I need! I'm very partial to a natural look, but this can give such a beautiful, dark smokey eye as well for going out. The price seemed steep at the time when I was purchasing, but it is so worth it, since I get so much use out of it and ALL the colours are gorgeous. It makes me a little sad that Naked 2 doesn't come with a mini primer potion, but the actual palette makes up for that. :)
I have both the Naked1 and the Naked2. They colors in each are different enough to make it worth having both. The colors are beautiful and vibrant, especially if you like shimmery eyeshadow. Worth every penny.

I have the original Naked Palette which people say suits brown skin tones more than Naked2. I was resolved to not spend $60 on a similar palette, however when I saw Naked2 in person at Sephora and actually saw the vibrancy and quality of the colours I couldn't resist owning it too.
Each colour is extremely pigmented. Some of the colours look similar to eachother, but when swatched they look different enough to warrant being in the same palette.
These are neutral colours that in my opinion are best worn on their own as a wash of all over lid colour. The only mixable colours are ones like Foxy, Bootycall and Blackout. Maybe Busted & Tease...maybe. I wouldn't though.
My only complaint is as some of the colours have such gorgeous sparkle to them, you actually get chunks of sparkle landing on your cheeks. Workaround obviously is to apply foundation after eyeshadow so you have the chance of wiping it off with makeup remover (translucent shadow on cheeks trick doesn't seem to help).
I don't agree that this palette isn't for olive / dark skin tones. The colours are so vibrant and gorgeous, they would suit anyone. I don't think it's a good idea to mix and blend these colours with eachother - too much of a good thing doesn't look that good. Each one worn as a wash of colour looks brilliant.
The lipgloss is beautiful and in my opinion will suit every skin tone. The dual ended brush is SO useful!
Highly recommend this palette. It's expensive, but worth it.
