Naked Cosmetics Desert Sunset Swatches, Photos & Review
Do you know about Naked Cosmetics yet? I have recently been introduced to them myself!
Naked Cosmetics pigments are made with the highest grade of Mica, which gives you a really good pay off. They contain no talc, waxes, oils or fillers in them. You can buy their pigments as separate pots or as a collection of six (shades pre-determined for you).
I had a discount with them so I kind of went hog wild and bought three collections. This one here is called Desert Sun and features very wearable earthy warm shades. The shades don’t have actual names other than a letter/number combination.
DE-03
DE-02
DE-06
DE-03, DE-02, DE-06
DE-03 is a warm goldish/olive green.
DE-02 is a warm medium pink.
DE-06 is an intense pinkish/bronze.
DE-01
DE-04
DE-05
DE-01, DE-04, DE-05
DE-01 is a pale golden/yellow.
DE-04 is a bright medium pink.
DE-05 is a medium warm purple.
Overall: The pigments are really soft and fluffy and for the most part you only need a very small amount to go a long way. None of these were swatched over primer, and you still get really good pay off. I think the least pigmented one was DE-05, but it still was good. Another couple things to note about these pigments. You can use them wet for a more intense look. But you can also use them as liner, on the lips or as bronzer/blush shades. They even have instructions on the box for how to use them as nail polish or hair highlights!
Now about the packaging. These come in plastic jars with a screw-off cap and no sifter. They feel decent overall, not too cheap. However I do wish they had a sifter inside of them. I also wish the individual shades had actual colors instead of the letter/number system they use. They are sort of stackable but don’t click together, so they slide right off if you stack them.
The biggest drawback however is the price. I think they are the most expensive pigments I have ever bought. I would be a lot happier if they were 40-50% less…
Availability: Naked Cosmetics.
Pricing: For the set of 6 $59.99 or $14.99 each (they are .05 oz).
Have you tried anything from Naked Cosmetics?

the pink looks beautiful! i wish i could try it out but i doubt i’d pay the full $15 for just one :/
I remember seeing these at a make-up show. I thought they were gorgeous but the price was just killing me – even at the discounted price! A drop of 50% would definitely peak my interest though, because the colors are lovely.
06 and 02 are particularly gorgeous, but ouch, the price tag! Although with such great pigmentation, you don’t have to pile on loads at a time.

They are gorgeous ( I feel in love with them at IMATS) but I couldn’t justify the price.

I have the shock effect set and I LOOOVE it. Thankfully I only paid $30 for my set since I got it at The Makeup Show. I am so happy with them though! They are extremely beautiful, bright and just all around awesome!!

I get a discount through Naked as well and just haven’t made the plunge yet. I’m excited to see the other sets you picked!

These are beautiful, but I can’t see myself purchasing too many of them, I have so many shimmery eyeshadows and tend to favor mattes and satins nowadays. -03 is such a lovely color. DE-02 looks a bit like Stila Kitten.

Definitely pretty. I wonder if the pinks and golds can be mixed with clear lipgloss…Any thoughts on that ?
Yep, they can be used on lips or anywhere!
All of these are gorgeous but DANG that price tag!
