Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette Review

Boy am I late to the scene with this review. I deprived myself of the beauty that is the Naked 3 palette for far too long and I’m now making up for it by drooling over it every chance I get. You’re probably already friendly with the Naked 3 palette but I couldn’t resist adding another review to the already extensive list. Baa, I’m a sheep.

The Naked 3 palette comes complete with 12 eyeshadows, sachets of Urban Decay primers and a double ended brush. The primers are a nice touch but admittedly (trying to not sound ungrateful here) I preferred it when Urban Decay actually provided mini bottles of the primer rather than sachets.

The brush is also rather delightful. Usually I don’t bother using the applicators that come with palettes but this one is fairly decent. It’s large enough to pack all of the colour onto your lids fairly quickly as well as blending the eyeshadow but it’s also great for getting into the smaller regions of your eyes. I don’t tend to use it when applying anything from the Naked 3 palette but it’s still a handy brush to have.

When I first heard that the Naked 3 palette was going to consist of rose gold toned eyeshadows I was a little apprehensive. Rose gold watches yes, rose gold eyeshadows no. My opinion did a complete 180 when I finally laid eyes on the palette. I didn’t think all 12 eyeshadows would be so wearable or work for the majority, if not all, skintones but Urban Decay proved me wrong. Each eyeshadow is easy to work with and can be used either on their own or as part of a full blown eyeshadow look.

The pigmentation of every single eyeshadow is incredible and there is very little fall out. I typically apply my make up at 8am and remove it around midnight (y’know, after I’ve napped while wearing it and smeared it all over my face when rubbing my eyes) and I’ve yet to see any of the eyeshadows crease.

I always use the Urban Decay Primer Potion prior to applying the eyeshadow but if you’re lucky enough to not have oily eyelids you could get away without a primer. Granted the eyeshadows won’t stay in place for 16 hours (or survive eye rubbing) but they’ll still look good for the majority of the day.

Urban Decay always impress me with their products but the Naked 3 palette has completely blown me away. Urban Decay really listened to us greedy consumers and gave us exactly what we wanted in this palette. Damn I hate those perfect little humans! If you haven’t got the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette yet but have been eyeing it up then buy it right now! Seriously, you won’t regret it. It’s honestly the best palette I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning.
