Urban Decay Naked 3 Review

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!!

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 :)

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!!!!

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.

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 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!

The most wonderful palette I've ever tried, I love the colors, the pigmentation, I think it's really great for any kind of skin and I simply love myself when I wear this. No fallout, simply awesome!

This version of the naked palette is themed in the rose gold vein of shades and makes the best looks from smoky, easy every day and dramatic night time.

The rose gold sturdy packaging again feels the same as the original as for size, and layout which works great for me personally and for my kit. With the actual shadows being creamy and easily to apply, great colour payoff, a combination of shimmers and mattes and without fallout.

These colours are easy to blend and make some beautiful eye looks that I love to create over and over again.

The first thing you will notice about this pallete is that it is metal and a beautiful shade of rose gold. Naked 3 is embossed into the case. The case has a wavy almost to zebralike pattern in the metal.

Upon opening the case, you will catch the reflection of your beautiful self in the wide mirror that follows the length of the case. It is a pretty generous sized mirror and a nice touch. There is also a double ended metal rose gold synthetic brush included in the case. One end is a little wider, fluffy, and rounded. It's also denser than the other end. The other end is flat, compact, and less fluffy to apply color in a more concentrated manner.

The colors range from a very pale matte rose shade to a very darkly pigmented eggplant shade with finally milled ruby glitter. My favorite shades are "dust," a very sparkly pink fairy finish, and "trick," which is a metallic rose gold that is identical to the color of the pallete case.

Similar to any of urban decay palletes that came before this addition, all colors are extremely pigmented with great color pay off. You would not need an eyeshadow primer but it is recommended for longer wear.

Without a primer, these last for me a solid eight hours. I have even fallen asleep in my make up, more than I'd like to admit, and been able to pull off second day eyeshadow.

All colors are creamy and blendable. I did feel that the shades wire, factory and mug shot were a little redundant. They are all metallic finish and within a shade difference from each other. They are beautiful colors though so if you like them you will not be disappointed. "Limit" and "nooner" are 2 shades apart on the color wheel but together could give a nice mono chromatic look using one as an all over color and one as a definer.

I would recommend this pallete over the other "naked" palletes simply because I love rose gold and feel these gorgeous rose hued neutrals whatever look lovely on a variety of skin tones.
