Hey Everyone!
So this is my first blog.. I hope you enjoy!
So I’m basing my first ever blog on the super popular Urban
Decay Naked 3 palette.
I've read lots of mixed reviews on this palette so it would
be doing a disservice to Urban Decay for me not to try it.. Right?
Packaging
Inside the tin are 12 brand new shadows and a large
mirror.
Shade's
The overall feel of the palette is definitely pink or 'rose
gold'. The are 6 shades that are more of a pink tone and 5 that are more taupe.
Although pinks and taupe’s can be hard to wear for some warm toned girls, the
Taupe's are more of a golden brown making them slightly warmer on the skin.
There are 4 glitter shadows, 2 of which have micro- glitter in the formula
making them super glitzy! There are two pure matte shadows, one matte-satin
and the rest are a combination of shimmer and satin.
Verdict
I had some initial reservations about the seemingly
pink-heavy palette. But on application, I realised that Naked 3 is as well
developed as it’s Naked siblings. The eye shadows and highly pigmented, easily blended
and most importantly, easy to use. Nine of the twelve shadows wear well for my 11-hour
days at work without creasing or fading.
Darkside is my favourite shade, it is well pigmented but isn’t
too frosted.
Dust was the worst performer which isn’t unexpected. It has a fair amount of glitter making it a difficult blend with disappointing gevity. When I next use this colour, I’ll apply it with a dampened brush for a smoother application.
As an overall palette I think this product will appeal to lots of people and skin tones. I'm happy Urban Decay haven’t made just another neutral eye palette too similar to its relatives Naked 1 & 2. Naked 3 has its own identity.
