I fell in love with UD's neutral shadows since I got the Naked palette 1. I'm a fan of natural-looking makeup so I always find neutral shadows as my best friend; fool-proof no matter where the event or what the occasion is!
If you want to read my review on the Naked 1 palette, please click here.
I'm going to use the Naked1 as reference since I don't have the Naked2. :)
First, the packaging! Naked 3 comes in a sturdy metal case in rosy-copper color. The logo is written in gold, which I love! These days I'm loving stuff in gold, so this is a perfect addition to that! The case is so easy to open and also very easy to close. Unlike the Naked 1 that came in suede packaging, I prefer the this more as it will surely last longer as the metal case will surely protect the precious shadows.
PRICE : $52 ~ Php2,400 when converted | Could range up to Php3,500 here depending on the retailer
WHERE TO GET IT : Urban Decay Store /
(I think my cousin got it from Macy's, though!)
Here are the swatches of the 12 new, exclusive and amazing rosy-hued neutrals in the Naked 3 palette!
Strange | Dust | Burnout | Limit
Buzz | Trick | Nooner | Liar
Factory | Mugshot | Darkside | Blackheart
Don't you think the colors are so pretty? I love how Urban Decay came up with never-before seen colors just for this palette. They know how much effort we put in ourselves, that's probably the reason why they also put so much effort in this palette!
Urban Decay's Naked 3 also includes a double-ended shadow blending brush and an Eyeshadow Primer Potion sample with resealable sample of all 4 formulas! (Original, Sin, Edel and the new anti-aging) Each sample holds about a week's worth of Primer!
However, I noticed that the brush makes the shadows chalk like crazy! Look at this photo :
NOT the shadows fault though! I tried using other brushes and they were all fine! I guess the bristles of the brush that they included were too dense and stiff so they cause the shadows to separate and become chalky like that. The brush in the Naked 1 was fine, though!
Here's how the Naked1 and Naked3 look when put together:
And the colors :
I'm so happy that none of the colors are in the same shade! The reason why I didn't get the Naked2. I searched for some reviews and most of them said the colors are a bit similar and that they prefer the 1 over the 2. I'm so glad that didn't happen here. And also, the shadows in the Naked3 are more on the pink-tone and dark-shades while those in the Naked1 are in golds and metals.
Overall, this is a really nice palette! A must-have for make-up lovers! Of course, you may want to consider the price as it is really steep, at least for me, for just a 12-color palette. But with it's name (UD), packaging, all the freebies and, of course, the 12 wonderful colors that you will get for $52, I think it's all worth it!
What do you think about the new Urban Decay Naked 3 palette?
