Naked 3 Palette Review!

Look at it ripple!

I know that everyone and their dug has talked about, raved about, and ran down the street shouting "Merry Christmas" "Naked 3!" when it comes to this palette, but with good reason!

Urban Decay finally brought the long awaited third installment of the Naked Palette franchise. Now, I'll admit, the Naked and Naked 2 palettes were nice but nothing really all that special. I like them, they look beautiful, but in my eyes they were kind of... meh...

Excuse the lampshade!

Not the Naked 3. As soon as I seen the promo images for this palette I knew that we had to be together. This palette is just gorgeous! I mean, the shadows have that exquisite texture and pigmentation that you expect from Urban Decay as a brand and it's pink! Finally a huge neutral palette that actually does something new. I mean, I love browns and taupes but everyone has 1 million and 1 browns and taupes. They also have continued on the embossed tin casing, which is lovely and it's really durable so unless you're traveling with the Hulk you don't need to worry about it falling apart. The mirror is massive, the same as it's neutrally brethen, and combining that with its fantastic selection of pink toned neutral shades it is all you need to look fierce, gurrrrrrl!

I've been watching far too much RuPaul's Drag Race....

Anyway!, lets get down to the nitty gritty and see the wonderful shades in this palette. As I said before, this palette is all pinky toned shades and it is just perfection. I have been wearing this palette for nearly a week straight and every single eyeshadow is divine!

Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit.

The first 4 colours are our lightest shades.

Strange is a lovely matte vanilla.

Dust is a frosted gold.

Burnout is a shimmery rose gold and

Limit is a gorgeous matte, soft pink.

Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar.

 Next four are slightly deeper.

Buzz is a darker rose pink shade than Burnout.

Trick is shimmery warm gold.

Nooner (my favourite shade) is a stunning deep, dusky pink shade. Great for contouring in the crease.

Liar is a beautiful warm minky pink.

Factory, Mugshot, Darkside, Blackheart

Lastly, we have the darker shades.

Factory is a purpley gunmetal.

Mugshot is similar to Liar but a lot cooler in tone.

Darkside is a cool greyish colour.

Blackheart is a a phenomenal deep, dark black shot through with pink glitter. Sickening!

While I know these are really rudimentary swatches, I hope it gets across just how lovely these shadows actually are. They are pigmented, creamy and just goddamn gorgeous!

You can do so many looks with this palette from day to night looks and everything inbetween. I love it. To me this palette has almost nothing negative about it (perhaps the fact that Nooner sounds like a childish term for a vagina).

All in all, if you want a Naked palette but don't know which one to get, or just love pink then grab this palette as soon as!

But if you're not convinced, I'll will be putting up wee makeup look tutorials using this palette all this week! So stay tuned in to see some lovely looks using the Naked 3.
