Urban Decay Naked on The Run Review & Swatches
The Urban Decay Naked on The Run Palette ($54) is a new, limited edition all in one Urban Decay Naked Palette that brings together six all new shades of Urban Decay Eyeshadow along with other makeup essentials to create a complete face palette to get your best naked look together on the run!
The Urban Decay Naked on The Run is a great travel friendly option for those who want to take their favorite Urban Decay Naked looks with them on the go. This face palette combines six new, exclusive shades of Urban Decay Eyeshadow with bronzer, blush, gloss, liner, and mascara all in one compact for easy travel or stowing away at the boyfriend’s so you’ll never have to be without your favorite Urban Decay products.
This compact is actually pretty large but still it’s a hell of a lot easier than carrying around your favorite Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette. It’s about the size of a CD case and but it’s considerably thicker with a gorgeous full size mirror inside that really aids in creating looks on the go. It’s a little bulky but it’ll make a nice travel companion for looks on the go. The fun part is you can swap out the lipgloss and eyeliner shade for other shades you might own! The rose gold case is striking with a gorgeous bronzey green face palette displaying Urban Decay’s Naked logo in all its glory. Since the palette is so thick I kinda wish it had a stealthy under compartment with applicators and brushes as this would truly make it the ultimate travel mate.
Inside you’ll find the following:
- Dive (metallic rose with golden micro-shimmer)
- Fix (soft taupe matte)
- Resist (medium metallic taupe)
- Dare (medium brown matte)
- Stun (metallic bronze with light gold micro-shimmer)
- 5050 (cool bisque satin)
- Bronzer (medium bronze matte)
- Blush (vibrant pink with light shimmer)
- Travel Size Perversion Mascara
- Travel Size 24/7 Gliod on Eye Pencil in Stag (deep brown satin)
- Urban Decay Naked Lipgloss in Sesso (rose with pink shimmer)
A lot of folks mistakenly looked at the palette and thought 5050 was a highlighter since it was situated by the bronzer and blush. But it is in fact a gorgeous eyeshadow shade in beige cream that makes for the perfect highlighting color! The shadows in the set are gorgeous. They have a smooth, velvety texture with plenty of pigment. I thought Fix was a little dry but aside from that the other five shades were gorgeous with 5050 really making an impression on me as the shade is one I’ll likely use often to prep, blend, and highlight with. I didn’t really love Stag 24/7 Eyeliner as I’m a little spoiled and expect super creamier formulas from Urban Decay’s eyeliners. This was a touch dense, drier, but smudged easily enough so if you have oily lids you’ll likely appreciate the drier texture of this shade.

Urban Decay Stag 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil
I happen to be a huge a huge fan of Urban Decay Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss and happy to see a new shade in this palette. Sesso is likely a shade that will look universally flattering on most skin tones. The texture isn’t very thick on these glosses and they have a gel-like consistency that isn’t tacky or sticky and quite reminds me of a thinner version of It Cosmetics CC+ Lip Serum Creme Gloss. This formula is lightweight, glossy, and has a minty scent and flavor. It’s quite a lovely texture that wears comfortably for around three hours while keeping my lips nice and moist through that wear.

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara is a wetter formula that can get spiky if I’m not careful during application. So take it slow as you apply. The twisted trim brush has a good deal of bristles that act to create a clump-free finish but I always feel if I’m not careful things get clump with Perversion due to the wetter texture of the mascara. The formula is lightweight but I find my lashes stick together when applying it. The formula is very black and does in fact live up to the Perversion name but I always get decent length from it but not a lot of drama so it isn’t my favorite mascara in the world.
Both the bronzer and blush shade in this palette have a very smooth consistency with an easy to apply formula and plenty of pigment. They are dense initially but as you brush through they go powdery and swatch a little chalky but apply beautifully soft and even on cheeks and face. They quite remind me of the texture and consistency of the Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palettes.

The Urban Decay Naked on The Run Palette is sure to be pleasing to fans of the Naked range. Sporting six new shades of eyeshadow is enough to get any Urban Decay fan happy I’m sure and I do believe the shadows were the star in this show. I travel a lot so I can appreciate this palette as it combines all the essentials you can need for quickie nude, natural looks on the go. I have a mini Perversion 24/7 Eyeliner I swapped Stag out which makes me happier as I use Perversion way more than any other liner in my stash.
