I love it. I wore it yesterday, but didn't take a pic. I was running late lol.
I am so in love with this palette, but it will not be in every day palette for me. For a glam night out with smoky colors, this will be my go to, but it is not something i will do daily. I go with softer looks during the day. I also don't have time to do a full on smoky eye every day. Lol

I didn't do anything smoky with it. This is a work look. I'm loving it so far! I can't wait to play with it more.
ETA shades I used: Thirteen on brow bone and inner corner, Combust in crease, Dirtysweet on lid, Whiskey on outer corner and blended a little into the crease.
Yesterday and todays FOTD posts are using it. I am really enjoying it so far and can't wait to play around more. I have a feeling it will be used heavily next week too.

I copied Tati's Naked Smoky look but I'm still trying to make the eyeliner on top look tight. Looks a little garbled at the corner of my eye. But otherwise I love it. Can't wait to play more!!!

I ordered it on a whim without seeing it in person first and it's supposed to arrive early next week. My only moment of "uh oh...did I need this?" was everyday/daytime looks. I had a moment of panic that it would be ONLY smokier, nighttime.
So, I'm happy that every post so far is daytime appropriate!

I bought it today!! So I'm drinking and playing around tonight.
This is from following their "iconic smoky eye" tutorial.
It really is a gorgeous palette. The shadows are so far easy to work with, although I did keep going back to the pan to get a good layer of the plum, Smolder, on.
litebright - Beautiful! And I like your kind of night! If I may ask, how many "look" instructions come with the palette?
Four. The one I tried, a light and a dark cat eye-type look, and one "everyday smoky" look that is on the light side, which I think bl tried out for daytime.
It's nice to have them, since I don't do a smoky eye regularly. I think having the step-by-step is really helpful as a starting point that I can build on.

I think I am going to have to pick this up tomorrow! I am not a smoky expert by any means, so having the instructions appeals to me. Thank you!

I was curious about how closely Smoky dupes shades from previous Naked palettes, especially since they claim 3 exclusives and 9 "never before seen" shades.
So, for my own edification, swatches:
From left to right: Sin, Sidecar and Half-baked from N1. Chopper from N2. Trick from N3. High and Dirty sweet from Smoky.
Then the darks. Pistol from N2. Gunmetal from N1. Then Armor, Slanted and Dagger from Smoky.
Smoky reminds me most of N1, but I think overall there is enough difference that they've successfully added to the spectrum of Naked palette shades rather than re-traveling old territory (and I only swatched half of the Smoky shades here). It's going to be fun to combine Smoky shades with the other palettes.
Here's my face today, with High, Thirteen, Dirty sweet and Radar from Smoky.
I used it the other night following the steps on the website (the less dramatic look obviously -- the other one is strictly if you're going as a raccoon for halloween lol) and loved it. Didn't take pics. But I am really into it!!

lexxasaurus I did this today - did you use the same colors she used in the video? I did but I feel like the edges came out a little too dark for me but yours looks amazing.

I did use the colors she used, but I went reeeeally light on them since I wanted a daytime look.
