Another Naked palette has been launched by Urban Decay just before Christmas. To be honest, I wondered how many other ways they could make natural shades look beautiful and attractive. I got my first glimpse online. Before I had seen what it looked like, I told myself not to purchase, because it’s just the same as the other two. But, I was so wrong, and bought another palette after having some swatches done by the lady on the counter...
The shades in the Naked palette are warm, golden and neutral
tones whilst the Naked 2 palette contains cool tones with hues of purple and
pale tones. The Naked 3 palette has a collection of rose gold tones which are
appropriate for my green eyes.

- Strange: Matte - Satin finish. Better used as a base colour and great for highlighting the brow area.
- Dust: Shimmer/ metallic finish. I really like this shade of pink. It's a great neutral to start with. It also has a slightly glittery effect.
- Burnout: Satin Finish. Great for anyone with pale/ medium toned skin to use as another base colour. It a very light peach colour.
- Limit: Matte finish. Personally, this is probably my favourite in the whole palette. The shade is a light rose and highly pigmented. I can see me hitting the pan on this one before the rest.
- Buzz: Shimmer/ Metallic Finish. In contrast to Limit, this is my least favourite. I like the rosy qualities to the shade but I find that it does not blend well on my eyelids. Very similar to Dust.
- Trick: Shimmer/ Metallic Finish. This is has a rich gold/ coppery tone that will make the shade appropriate for the festive season or in the height of summer.

..mini descriptions continued (from L to R).
The packaging is similar to the Naked 2 palette. All 12 shades are presented in a solid tin like case which is preferably for me. The extra touch is in the fabric like ruched detailed on the tin itself. The maintenance of this palette is good. It is easier to clean the excess eye shadows and mirror, and clicks together to close. I prefer this packaging to the first one which was velvet. And, not forgetting, it comes with a large mirror and a dual eye brush that blends the shadows beautifully.
- Nooner: Matte Finish. This is a deeper, more intense pink of the collection with pigments of brown blended together. This shade would be ideal for shading and creating definition on the outer corner of the eyes. Shade after this one tend to be more on the browner end.
- Liar: Shimmer/ Metallic Finish. I would say this is like medium mauve shade. Great for blending shades in this palette to create day to night looks. This is not as shimmer as the lighter shades but definitely will be easier to blend.
- Factory: Shimmer/ Satin Finish. I found this shade useful from blending with the outer corners of the eyes, great as a eye liner on top lashes and the bottom lashes near the water line.
- Mugshot: Shimmer/ Metallic Finish. Again, great for shading and adding definition!
- Darkside: Matte/ Satin Finish. This is the deepest shade in the palette. It's a good shade to putting the final touches to a smoky eye effect.

In addition, there’s a ‘weeks’ worth’ of samples of each eye shadow
primers in the Urban Decay collection.

But for now, just enjoy the pictures and making the decision of
whether to buy or not. This palette would flatter most skin tones. I have very
pinks undertones (very typical pale British skin) with green eyes.
Photo's with look ideas to follow soon! I am going to have a good play around with the shades first!
So, is it worth buying another Naked palette (especially if you already own Naked and Naked 2). I think it's down to each individuals subjective reasoning. I'm a massive fan on nude palettes. There are enough different shades that work well together in this palette that will provide a new look that differs from the other 2 palettes. But, I do keep in mind that these palettes are investments items for some. Available in the UK at £37 from Debenhams.
Please leave a comment letting me know what you think about it? Have you head positive/ negative things about the palette?
Thanks for reading!
