Firstly
I must apologise, as I promised this post would be up after my last
review. What can I say work and life took over for a while, which is no excuse but I found it really difficult to sit down and blog. However, I am not going to try and post at least one post a week. Right that's enough of me trying to justify me being away, onto the review.
The
Naked edition continues with the release of Naked 3. This palette
introduces 12 never seen before shades, consisting of three mattes and
nine shimmers. The shades are lined in a beautiful rose gold metal case,
which includes a large mirror.
Now,
this palette is still neutral toned however, rather than the cool or
bronze hues this has a rose tint to the shadows. Also, included within
the box is a dual ended brush, which I must admit is fairly good. There
are also four primer potions in re-sealable pouches, which is also good
news. I hate when you receive samples and they say you have enough for a
few days worth, however, there is no way of keeping the product fresh
and sealed. Well done UD.
Now on to the shades….
Strange - ‘A pale neutral pink matte-satin.’ I like this shade for highlighting or as an all over base colour.
Dust
- ‘A pale metallic pink shimmer with iridescent micro-glitter.’ Now I’m
not really a fan of this colour. I feel that it is really chunky and
creates a glittery mess amount of fallout. This is probably the only
colour I will not get much use out of, also the colour payoff is not
great on my skin tone.
Burnout
- ‘A light pinky-peach satin.’ This would be nice as a all over lid
colour, definitely suiting the lighter eyed gals amongst us.
Limit
- ‘A light dusty rose matte.’ I like using this shade as my transition
colour above the crease. Even though it is fairly light, you do detect
the pinky hue on my skin colour.
Buzz
- ‘A metallic rose shimmer with silver micro-glitter.’ Again this shade
reminds me of Buzz, however, there appears to be more pigment in this
colour.
Trick
- ‘A light metallic pinky-copper shimmer with tonal micro-sparkle.’ I
like this shade, it would be perfect for a night out with a smoked out
crease.
Nooner
- ‘A medium pinky-brown matte.’ This is probably my second favourite
shade of the palette. I use this for my crease colour, its perfect for
this area especially when using shimmers on the lid.
Liar
- ‘A medium metallic mauve shimmer.’ This is a medium pink/brown tone
which is perfect for wearing during the day as an all over lid colour or
smoking it out for the evening.
Factory - ‘A pink brown satin.’ I like combining this with Liar and making a smokey look that’s not too in your face.
Mugshot
- ‘A metallic taupe shimmer with slight pink shift.’ This has a slight
grey hue to the shade which again is perfect for a daytime not too in
your face smokey look.
Darkside - ‘A deep taupe-mauve satin.’ This shade is perfect for being used in the outer lid or the crease.
Blackheart
- ‘A smokey black matte with rosy red micro-sparkle.’ This is my
favourite shade of the bunch.This reminds me of MAC Beauty Marked
however, the red sparkle is much more visible with this shade, which I
absolutely love.
Overall,
I do like this palette however, I feel that I get much more use out of
the second half of this palette. Do you need this palette if you own the
other Nakeds? I would say, Yes. The reason being is that the shades are
different and unlike anything else that I own. Even though Blackheart
may be similar to Beauty Marked the colour pay off is much better in
this palette.
I
would love if UD created a palette consisting of different purples,
that would be ideal and work really well with my brown eyes. Maybe one
day…..Or if anyone knows a good purple palette please let me know, I
would definitely be interested.
