Urban Decay Naked 3 Review

I got this pallet for an amaaazzziiinnnngg deal online for $32. So worth the price though!! The colours go with everything and I use it almost everyday!! The packaging is very portable and easy to use and the brush is better than any eye-shadow brush I have bought or have in my collection. I would totally buy it again if I find it for a good deal xD but I probably won't need one for a couple of years though

This is my favorite Urban Decay palette out of all 3. This palette has more of a pink/ rose gold tint whereas the other two naked palettes didn't. I love how the palette has equal colours of matte and glitter. Though there are a few glitter shades that I find that get a bit flaky and fall out sometimes. There is a nice mixture of metallic neutrals which I find is really nice when you don't want to go full on out with the more vibrant metallic colours. All in all I really enjoyed this palette and its warm toned colours. It had great pigmentation and was really fun to work with.

I love this palette and use it at least twice a week! First of all the packaging is super cute! It's a rose gold color with wavy ridges that flow across the package! Inside you'll find 12, 4 matte and 8 shimmery, beautiful pink and rose toned color eyeshadows and a doubled ended awesome eyeshadow brush! One end of the brush applies the eye shadows and the other end blends! There are multiple ways to combine the shades to create multiple beautiful looks! Each and every color is easily blendable!

I will say that the shadows in this palette are as awesome as ever . Good job, Urban Decay. I will also admit that I have this because I went a little cray when shopping with a friend and just bought it without properly looking at it or swatching anything (we were in a hurry, alright?!). And, while I love to use this palette on others, I don't often use it on myself (often! Still sometimes!) because this is a very warm-toned palette and I prefer (cling to) cool-toned makeup. It is really beautiful though!

I'm making a bold claim, I know. I have had the Naked 1 palette for over two years now, and as much as I love it, I fear it may grow feelings of jealousy towards the love, affection and attention being shown to the new kid.

The colours in this palette, like every naked palette, and urban decay single shadow, are super duper pigmented. And this review is probably biased because right now, I'm OBSESSED with rose golds, golds and pinky shadows anyway. The amount of looks you can create are unlimited, just hit up Pinterest if you feel like you're in a style rut and this palette won't disappoint.

With a primer, these shadows last all day as well and the blend like bourbon into my cola - Smooth baby! Even the included brush is good and I find myself reaching for it more than some of my much favoured Real Techniques brushes.

And lets talk about the packaging. With the Naked 1 being a bitter disappointment in the packaging department, this tin is so amazingly beautiful. I had plans to take both my naked palettes and depot them into a single Z palette. but no. I cannot bring myself to harm this beautiful object d'Art.

This is my absolute fave of all the NAKED range. I love all the shades and the shimmery style of these ones rather than the older palettes. Just as the others were, these colours are long lasting and blend perfectly. Excellent work once again UD!!!!

A you can tell by the title, this is my fave naked palette! It may be because I started off backwards and brought this one first, but all the colours seem to suit my skin tone so good! The price is quite hefty, but you are paying for great quality! The consistency of the colours are great and they feel creamy and not at all flakey! This comes with a 2 sided eyeshadow brush which I find quite good :)

Firstly the packaging for this palette is the best I have ever had from an eyeshadow collection. It comes in a metal tin with a firm closure and hinges, the top has a ripped/ridge effect added to the lid in a pink gold ton, with the words embossed in gold of Naked 3. Feels luxurious and expensive from sight and touch alone let alone the quality of the shadows inside. Once opened up the inside is arranged with each shadow neatly inserted with it's name wrote underneath. I nice large heavy mirror adorns the inside of the lid and there is even a well designed high quality double ended brush for you to use with the shadows instead of those horrible nasty shadow puff applicators you sometimes get in palettes, they usually hit the bin the second I open them. The brush is itself a good tell of how well these shadows are going to be, soft bristled with a larger more fluffy pointed at one end to apply transistion colours and blending, then a more finer shorter bristle at the other end that is perfect for cut ins and highlighting/accent colour application. The barrel of the brush feels plastic but is coloured to match the rest of the packaging so it all ties nicely together. I haven't actually washed this brush yet because I forget it is inside the case but will make a point of doing so.

The range of shades provided in this palette include mattes, shimmers and sheen finishes so you can create both everyday looks as well as stunning evening looks. Including tones from black to pink-browns, to pinks and gold colours the possibilities are endless in creating different looks. Shadow quality itself though is not what I expected, it didn't blow my socks off but that is not to say the shadows are poor quality they just seem to create a lot more debris/excess fall out than I had hoped. I think I was expecting them to be more creamy based pressed colours but they are just pressed powders. Pigmentation however is spot on with the smallest amount needed on the brush to get an even bold coverage of powder. Blending of the colours is easy and the shimmers are sparkly even after prolonged wear. I found that with out without eyelid primer these shadows stay on all day, staying where I put them at the same vibrancy that they were when applied to when I remove them. With this palette in the cardboard exterior packaging I was provided a trial pack of their eyeshadow primers that I have not yet used so can't comment on them as I have had no need to use the specific effects that they claim to do, but this is a nice touch and the packs are quite large sized so you should get at least 4-5 applications out of each, if not more so you can truly gauge if they work for you before you part with your money on purchasing a full sized version.

I have no desire from using this palette to purchase either Naked 1 or 2 as I feel that the market is awash with similar palettes of which I own a few.

love this eyeshadow palette!! I always reach for it everyday. my favourite shades are mugshot and blackheart. I do have to force myself to try out other shades for fear that ill run out of my favourites!! I love a shimmer myself and this may be pricey but so worth it as the application is great!

I bought this online awhile and it was literally the best thing I ever did!!

I'm obsessed with anything urban decay, and I use my palette everyday. I love the packaging and all the colours have such fun names. They're all so pigmented and glide on so nicely, ahhhh I love it so much. It's probably the most different as all the shades are pretty shimmery, so I suppose if you're not somebody who likes shimmery products then maybe it's not for you - but personally I don't think I could live without my naked 3 palette!!
