UD Naked vs. Sleek Storm

I don't remember if someone has done this or not. They probably have... I mean these palettes have been around for ages and if someone has not done a comparison yet, and I'm the first one. I'd be speechless.


Urban Decay Naked-palette vs. Sleek Storm-palette

The top row is the Naked-palette, and the swatches are in the order the shadows are in the palette. I  swatched on the NYX white eyeshadow base.


I tried my best to match shadows from the Storm-palette, and put them under the shadow I thought they matched. I used one shadow twice, cause after I did the first swatch I noticed it matched another shade from the Naked-palette better. The Storm-palette has a matte black which the Naked-palette does not have.

Look this chart was made for
The second from the right in the top row I used twice. First I matched it to Toasted, but then noticed that Sin is a better match.

The Naked palette




I would say these are fairly comparable. The Sleek-palette has 2-3 shadows that do not match the any in the Naked-palette, but all in all these are good dupes for the most part. The Sleek palette is way cheaper than the UD one, and the the quality of the palettes are identical. Both are as good.




Do you have both? Which do you prefer? Share your thoughts in the comments below, please.

EDIT May 30, 2012: UD Naked has 12 shadows, each 1.3 grams, and the Sleek Storm palette also has 12 shadows, and one is 1.1 grams.
