You HAVE to have this!

My partner went to LA for work and he went and bought this for me, as I refused to pay $120-odd for it here. He got it in the nearest Sephora store for US$56.

The box is great, on the back is has all the shades listed as you see them in the palette and the case itself snaps shut so no chance of it opening in your handbag for there to be a powder party in the bottom!

There was also a little freebie inside - four different primer potions!! One was a matte finish, one had a shimmer, one was their original primer potion and the other anti-aging. AWESOME!

When compared to their previous palettes (which are pretty much exactly the same - hence why I only have the original, not the Naked2), this is much more feminine and full of beautiful dusty pinks, mattes and shimmers.

The brush that comes with it also has two different tips, one a base shadow brush, the other used to blend.

I tried the brush a couple of times and it's just not that great. The product literally sticks like glue to the brush and doesn't transfer to your lid very well, and it feels really 'sticky' - without the stick. Kind of like a rubbery texture (if this is making any sense at all!). And the blending end of the brush doesn't blend that well either.

The colour payoff is great though. Just like their original palettes, they work really, really well together.

So glad I finally have this now, and I was no left disappointed!

Tips: Some of the lighter shades might be harder to pull off on darker skin as the colours may not transfer all that well, but a primer should sort that out.

I agree the brush isn't that great but I find it is quite good for wetting and packing on the glittery colours to make them stronger.

LOVE IT

I like this palette becaus elal the eyshadows are really pigmented and feel like butter. I think i like the naked 2 pallete better only because naked 3 has mostly champagny pinks and the naked 2 has a mixture of colours i usually wear.

Beautiful product! ❤️

After lusting after one for months and months I finally made the choice to purchase my own naked3 palette. The rose tinted colours are perfect for my fair skin. The variety of matte and shimmer shades enable me to create many different looks With this palette and use it for both daytime wear and more sophisticated night time looks. The colours are highly pigmented and I found that even without the (free) eyeshadow primers included in this pack, the colours stayed bold and bright for extended amounts of time. Very very impressed with this product, if you're thinking it's too good to be true then I think you are missing out on something huge! xx tiff.

Tips: If you are wanting a long lasting and highly pigmented colour, use a eyeshadow primer before applying any colour.

Beautiful shadows and lovely packaging

I just about squealed when I opened the box to see this palette. It looks like a really high quality product, and I like that it clips closed, it will be handy to take with me places. The colours are so gorgeous, primarily pinky but with some darker and lighter colours to blend with. I've already done some great looks with it, and they can be easily be taken from day to night by adding some black eyeliner and perhaps more mascara. I like the brush that comes with it, and again it'll be handy for travelling. I'm already a massive fan of the eyeshadow primer but haven't tried the coloured versions before I got them as samples with this palette.

I got a friend to send this to me from the USA, otherwise it can be quite expensive to find online, but I think it's worth it. A much smaller palette of much lower quality could easily be almost as much as this, so I think it's really worth the money. The colours may not suit everyone, I am light skinned with blue eyes and brown hair. Fortunately, Urban Decay has a lot of other palettes!

Tips: Definitely use the eyeshadow primers, they really extend the staying power of the shadows.

Fantastic neutral palette!

I had wanted a Naked palette for so long but could never choose which one I wanted, after seeing Naked 3 I was sold instantly! I brought it for $73 NZD from the Dubai mall and couldn't wait to try it. It came with 4 different primer samples and a soft brush inside the palette.

The colours are pigmented, they feel smooth and glide on the skin effortlessly, the shades are from an off white to a dark smoky brown. It comes with a range of matte and shimmery eye shadows, they are so easy to blend and a small amount goes a long way. The stay power is really good, I can apply my eye shadow in the morning and it will still be there in the afternoon. There is a small amount of fallout when using but I always tap my brush before applying. I would most definitely recommend this palette to anyone looking for a sturdy and beautiful neutral palette, the tin container makes it durable but very lady like for a tin container.

Highly recomended!

This pallete is amazing, every single colour is wearable, super pigmented and beautiful. I use this pallete every single day to work and to go out at night. The colours are really girly and pretty and flatter my blue eyes. I really like the double ended brush that comes with it and the primers. The packaging is gorgeous too.

Naked 3, marry me.

All the hype about Naked 3 and the build up to it's release was 100% correct and worth the wait.

Before using Naked 3 I never really wore any pink eye shadows. Having blue eyes I stuck to my golds and browns.

Naked 3 has turned me into a pink eyeshadow girl and I use this palette multiple times a week.

It has a really good mixture of mattes and shimmers. It has great colour pay off and the colours are really pigmented.

The colours are really easy to blend and the colours compliment each other really well so it's easy to make lots of different looks with the palette.

I got my palette of beautybay.com and it was a bit pricey, I was hesitant at first but really glad I took the splurge. Considering you get 12, high quality eye shadows it is worth it.

Naked 1 and 2 were very similar so I'm really glad that Naked 3 is different. There really are no other palettes like it.

Great for romantic soft pink looks. Can do a smokey pink eye and is so versatile.

Would buy this product again (with a bit of saving) and would definitely recommend Naked 3. Every girl (and make up boy) needs to have this palette in their collection.

My Favorite Naked Palette

I own all of the Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palettes and although this is my most recent acquisition, it is my favorite. I find the pinky neutrals really make my eye color (blue) pop and are really easy to use and integrate into any look. I also find that this palette has a lot of the lighter shades which I really like. I have super pale skin and find that a lot of the shades in the other Naked palettes are far to dark on me for an everyday look.

Tips: You don't need all of the Naked palettes (I certainly don't). Look at the swatches online of all the palettes and see what colors will work for you. If you want to buy one don't be swayed by any reviews of this palette or the others, choose what works for your skintone and what you feel comfortable wearing.

A very unique palette that i'm in LOVE with.

Considering how much I love my original Naked Palette I knew I had to have Naked 3 in my life when it came out, especially when I saw how different the colours were. I have never owned a pink toned palette and never thought those sorts of colours would suit me but oh my, they work so well with my super pale skin and blue eyes.

I love the packaging on this palette. The original naked has a cardboard/velvet casing and it gets dirty super easy so I love that Naked 3 has sturdy tin packaging but is still slim and has a good closing so it doesn't get damaged when you are travelling with it. You also get a double ended brush and primer samples which is a nice bonus but I preferred the decent sized primer you get with the original Naked palette.

Urban Decay truly do make the best shadows. They are so buttery soft and blend so well. The only colour in the palette that has quite a bit of fallout is Dust. However I find if I wet my brush slightly (the one that comes with this palette is good to do this with) and pat the shadow on my eyelid it creates a really nice effect.

I think this palette has a great selection of shades to create lots of different looks for day and night. I am using the matte shades (Strange, Limit & Nooner) a lot for the crease and highlighting. For more dramatic looks the shade Blackheart is so unique, its a dark purple (almost black) with pinky shimmers.

Even if you own the other Naked palettes or other palettes by other brands I truly believe you wont regret buying this one. Nothing else out there is similar in shades and quality.

Tips: A fluffy brush will be your best friend with this palette- use it to blend the matte shades in your crease and to give an overall smooth look after applying the shimmers by blending them in.

Beautybay is the best place for kiwis to buy this palette from. Cheaper and free shipping to NZ.

I feel like I am constantly learning new ways to use this palette by watching YouTube videos on it. Just search Naked 3 and you should find quite a few videos.

HOLY GRAIL Palette

I have the Naked 2 palette which i got before this one and instantly regretted. I love this one so so so much more than naked 2! I got mine from beautybay :)

Just like the naked 2 this palette has a great hard case packaging. It has a snap lock closure so its very safe and secure. There is a really decent sized mirror also which is perfect for when you're on the go.I really love the gold lettering and the rose gold color of the packaging. The texture on the case is an extra bonus in appearance for me. The double-ended brush that comes with it (good karma brush) is great too. One end is a great shader brush which is dense and perfect for packing on shadows. The other is a blending brush which works very well also.

The colours in this palette are just gorgeous with beautiful pinky tones and rose golds. There are 3 matte shades and 9 shimmery ones. My favorite shades are Dust, Strange, Trick, Buzz and Limit. Well i love them all really! Its really easy to make wearable every day looks with this palette. You can easily amp it up for a dramatic night time look too though.

I feel like all skin tones and eye colours can rock this palette. I have medium skin with dark brown eyes and it looks beautiful every time! I've also used this on my friend who has fair skin and blue eyes and it looks equally as beautiful!

I am so so in love with this palette and I will be using it for a long time to come. I cannot recommend this more! If you're looking for a palette for easy daily use then totally go for this one. It is absolutely worth every cent of money that i paid for it.
