Beauty On a Budget: Urban Decay Naked Basics

 









Who doesn't love Urban Decay shadow pallets? Well, if you like them then it obviously means you love the price tag as well! Wrong... Let's get real here not everyone has the ability or even wants to spend $30 on six shades of eye shadow. I'm going to show you how to get the same look from the drugstore!








What You Need
Wet n Wild: Comfort Zone $4.99
Wet n Wild: Don't Steal My Thunder $2.99
Revlon Color Stay: Moonlit $5.99
Revlon Color Stay: Attitude $5.99

If your doing the math, the grand total will be about $20. Why would you not just spend $10 more and get the real thing? You get 19 shadows instead of six. More bang for your buck!



What are we trying to imitate?
(From left to right)

- Venus: Revlon Color Stay Moonlit
- Foxy: Wet N Wild Comfort Zone
- WOS: Revlon Color Stay Attitude
- Naked 2: Revlon Color Stay Moonlit
- Faint: Revlon Color Stay Attitude
- Crave: Wet N Wild Don't Steal My Thunder
 

 Swatches
 
Foxy vs W&W Comfort Zone Top Left Shade
Venus vs Revlon Moonlit Top Left Shade
WOS vs Revlon Attitude Top Left Shade

Naked 2 vs Revlon Moonlit Bottom Left Shade




Faint vs Revlon Attitude Bottom Left Shade
Crave vs W&W Don't Steal My Thunder Middle Shade





 As you can see, not all of these were perfect matches! I don't buy single shade compacts and I wanted to keep it under four pallets for you. If you purchase the two Revlon compacts you will be able to recreate a lot of the same looks as you could with the basics pallet! 
 
Happy Budget Hunting!
