Well, Urban Decay has done it again! With the third installment to the Naked line, Urban Decay released its latest eye catching pallet full of rose toned eye shadow. Famously, the first edition was a warm toned neutral pallet, and the second (my favorite) was a cool toned neutral version. So it was only fitting for the makeup giant to release rose tone neutral eye shadows.
This pallet was released just before Christmas of 2013 and sold out very quickly, even thought this product came out over 6 months ago, it is still being buzzed about for its uniqueness and quality. You can find all three of the Naked pallets at Ulta, Sephora, or the Urban Decay website and will run you about $53.00
The first half of this pallet is really beautiful. The first color Strange is a matte cream color perfect for highlighting. Next is Dust which is kind of ironic because that is what it looks like when you apply this shade. It has a ton of fallout and the pigmentation is the worst out of the entire pallet, its my least favorite color. Burnout is the perfect mid-tone pink color. It works good all over the lid or even as a pink inner corner highlight. Limit is the ultimate crease color. It is a dusty rose matte color that actually works extremely well with the rest of the colors in this pallet. Buzz is a high shimmer pink shade that has a hint of purple in it, this shade is quite unique. Last we have Trick which as you can see is a typical gold shade but it does have a pinkish undertone (see a theme here?). This color is pretty, but not very unique and quite dupe able.
The second half of the pallet is my favorite. I love darker shades and these colors are the reason I bought this pallet. Nooner is a matte color that is similar to Limit but just a few shades darker, its perfect for darkening the crease without the use of black or dark brown. Liar is my FAVORITE shade out of them all. It doesn't look impressive when swatched, but when applied to the lid is this most perfect brown rosy metallic color. You have to see it in person its stunning. Next is Factory which is also one of my favorites, its actually quite similar to Liar but slightly darker and more brownish. Mugshot reminds me a lot of something that would be in the Naked 2 Pallet. It is a mid tone taupe grey metallic color which is very different than all the rest of the shades because its quite cool toned, but very pretty. Darkside is a satin finish dark slate grey. When looking at the pallet as a whole this is the color that doesn't really fit in with the others but works quite well when used in a look. I use mostly for deeping the outer V or smudging onto the lash line. Lastly we have Blackheart which is a black color with red shimmer. It is stunning in the pan, but when swatched or applied to the lid, it loosed a lot of the red shimmer and therefore just becomes a regular black shade.
Overall I am in love with this pallet although it does not take the place of my Naked 2 which is my favorite. I think the main fault in this pallet is the lack of diversity in the colors. Most of the colors resemble each other too much as far as the pink shades and the mid toned shades go. When applied to the lid you cant really tell the difference and it ultimately just becomes one color. When used correctly, these shades can create some amazing looks that can be perfect for day time or smoked up for nighttime!
