Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palettes are joined by the newest Naked Neutral Palette, Naked Cyber. Supposedly, it is fun, and current. Although, it is still all about the nude and neutral shades , that put Urban Decay on the map! The Inspiration for Naked Cyber is from future tech, cyberspace and virtual reality. Therefore the shades ,come in a variety of finishes, lean heavily on the shimmers!
You can find the Urban Decay Naked Cyber Palette at Sephora, Ulta, Macys, Selfridges and on the Urban Decay Website. Also, Naked Cyber Eyeshadow Palette ( 12X 0.090 g / 0.03 oz. ) costs $49.
The Packaging
For me, the packaging is the most exciting part of the Naked Cyber Palette. The cover of the case is three-dimensional, tech-driven current and modern. It is a big Wow! 
I saw it on the Sephora Website, and hit the button to put it in my basket. I love the Naked Palettes! 
The plastic palette feels weighty. 
Inside, underneath the outer lid, is a really nice, big mirror. On the other side of the palette are 12 eyeshadow pans, with the neutral eyeshadows. 
Also, the palette comes with a dual-ended application brush (which is really nice.). Also, the palette has a magnetic closure.
The Formula
The shadows are made of a pressed pigment formula. Also, Urban Decay went Vegan and cruelty-free on this one. Also, I looked all over the outer box to find something about sustainable packaging. Especially, being an American Brand, I hoped to find that it was. 
Unfortunately, with all their “cyber” technology, they haven’t thought about saving the planet, at least not yet! O.K., so the shimmers are nude shades, that are underwhelming for a virtual, cyber palette.Then, the matte shades were a bit chalky. The Color-payoff leans toward the soft side. You need to use your fingers to apply the shades, to get more color payoff. Also, wearing a creamy eyeshadow primer would help ramp up the intensity. Basically, this is not your Pat McGrath, Natasha Denona eyeshadow Palette.
Instead, it is a pretty palette of nude and neutral shaded. And, the colors look soft and, except for the matte shades, are shimmery.

Middle Four Shades ( continue Left to Right)
Cyberspace
Fifth, Cyberspace, a peach shade with a mint shift, has a duochrome finish. This is a duochrome shade, which means it is one shadow that reflects two colors ( in one shadow) depending on how the light hits. I love to wear duochrome all over my eyelids, and into my crease.

Last Four Shades ( continuing Left to Right)
Static
Nineth, Static, a blue iridescent silver shade, has a glitter finish.For an all-over sparkle, swipe on with your finger. Or use a detailing brush to spotlight your eye. Also, wear it as an eyeshadow topper.
Y3K
Tenth, Y3K, a brick red shade that shifts to icy blue, has a duochrome finish. This is one shadow that reflects 2 colors depending on how the light hits it. Wear this shae as an eyeshadow all over your eyelids.
OverRide
Eleventh, a sheer red shade, has an iridescent glitter finish. Wear this shade as an eyeshadow topper.Or use your finger, an spread this shade all over your eyelids. This will give you a stunning shimmery look.
Byte
Byte, a warm red shade, has a matte finish. This is the darkest matte in the palette. So take advantage of this, and wear the shade to line your eyes, and add definition, in your crease and outer corners.
If you are expecting an intense color payoff, with wild, interesting shades, this palette is not going to be that. Instead, for what it is, a nude , neutral palette, with soft nude and neutral shades, and shimmery finishes. Even the duochromes are subtle. I know you can still create some beautiful nude and naked looks, soft looks with some shimmer, with this palette.
You can amp the shades up by wearing them wet, instead of dry. You will never achieve that Celestial, Cosmic look that you’ll find with the Makeup Artistry palettes of Pat McGrath and Natasha Denona. However, if you are not great at makeup application, or you don’t want a Cosmic Celestial Look, then you are in the right place, and have found a very pretty palette.
