Introducing the one and only NEW NAKED 3 Palette (by Urban Decay)


I was one of the lucky girls that got her hands on one of the new Urban Decay Naked 3 palettes. There were only 280 palettes sent to Sephora stores. There has been so much hype surrounding this palette in the last couple of months but is it really worth it? Here's my take on it.

Having previously worked with the Urban Decay Naked palette and the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette, I must say this third one is a little different. The colours are more pink based. This is perfect for those who have a yellow or pink undertone as it reflects nicely against your skin tone. There are a variety of finishes ranging from shimmer, sparkle, and matte. The matte browns are perfect for those who want a natural look.

Pros:
  • Versatile colours that can transform from day to night 
  • Added brush allows for easy travel 
  • Variety of finishes: matte, shimmer, sparkle
  • Gorgeous packaging with 3D font

Cons
  • Most colours are pink based which may not be fit for all skin tones
  • The sparkly shadows came out too little chunky so you have to press the pigment onto the skin for the sparkles to stick
  • Sparkles may not be fit for all ages

Final thoughts: I like the palette for some of the colours and I absolutely love the chic packaging. But other than that, I wish there was more to it. Urban Decay did a great job in creating buzz and hype around the palette. I wish there were more extreme tones in the palette. Similar to the previous two palette, there were great tones in colours. You got some extremely light and some extremely dark colours. In this palette, a lot of the tones are so similar to each other that it's more difficult change a look drastically using the same palette. I also love to use shimmery eye shadows as my highlight. In this palette, the lightest colour is matte which disappointed me just a little. This palette is definitely worth it to those who want a very natural look because you can use a lot of those colours to create a soft eye. However, for those who want to create more dramatic looks, you may be better off sticking with the Naked 1 or Naked 2.
