Urban Decay Naked palettes are the stuff of beauty legends.
Sleek, shiny and compact, opening up one of these 12-shade eyeshadow palettes feels like unlocking a world of smokey eye possibilities.
Getting your hands on one from Mecca is practically a beauty right of passage.
From textured metallics to creamy mattes, these staple products are as versatile as they are really pretty to look at.

But… they’re also expensive. $83 expensive.
While nothing can come close to their cult-like status, these dupes from BYS have really tried.
Yes, the packaging is a blatant rip off. And the switching of ‘Naked’ and ‘Nude’, not so subtle.
But for around $13 a pop, the above suddenly doesn’t seem so bad.
Below are the exact BYS dupes for the Urban Decay Naked palettes, swatch by swatch.
Warning: Staring at these palettes for extended periods of time may cause one to question… everything.
"Yeeeeah, but not all of these dupes are exact matches," you say sceptically.
Correct. They aren't.
BUT their el-cheapo price tag means you can supplement some of the more specific tones and textures with colours from these other themed palettes.
The beauty world's general consensus is that the BYS palettes' pigment doesn't quite stack up to their pricier counterparts, but comes pretty close
A few tips to amp up the colours even more:
Now, go forth into your day with a wonderful smokey eye and change for lunch.
Because, fake it 'til you make it, yeah?
