IT cosmetics has a palette called Naturally Pretty that is very nice. It is $42 I think, and usually on line you can find 10-20% off somewhere. The Ulta salesperson said it was IT's attempt to take the best from the 3 UD Naked palettes in one, less expensive palette. Personally, I would go to Ulta or Sephora and play with the UD Naked palettes, and go with one of those. I consider them staples and well worth the money. The color payoff is awesome so you don't use a lot of product.


ETA: the Basics palette is less expensive, but doesn't get the rave reviews that the Naked palettes do, so make sure it works for you before investing in it.

ETA again: to get your shadow to last all day, try a primer. They aren't expensive and work great. I know there must be drugstore primers that are fine. I like Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Urban Decay Primer Potion or MAC paint pots. Hate Laura Mercier and Clinique primers.

Nars Orgasm is over-rated.

It looks good on fair-skinned ladies.

I suggest that if you want to try it out, get it in one of the blush palettes.

Tarte 12 Hour Blush in Glisten is a nice alternative that lasts longer.
