Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette Review & Swatches


Hi lovelies, after a few months of using and loving my Naked 3 Palette the day has finally come to review it. This post is a collaboration post with Holly from Roses Beauty. You can check out her blog here where you will find her review of Urban Decay's Naked 1 palette.

I purchased the Naked 3 in April and I was so excited to use this well-known eye shadow palette. At £37 it's the most expensive palette I own. This was actually the first high-end palette I purchased so I was eager to swatch the shades and see how they differ to drug-store alternatives.
It comes with twelve eye shadows, shimmers, mattes, metallics and glitters. They are all rose-toned and I find they look great with my blue eyes.

L-R: Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz, Trick
Strange: A pale neutral pink that has a matte/satin finish. I like using this shade all over my lids to even the colour out or just on it's own with winged eyeliner.

Dust: This is probably one of my favourite colours from the palette. It's a gorgeous pale metallic pink with tiny glitters. It's a great all over the lid shade or as an inner corner highlight.

Burnout: This is a satin pinky/peach shade and it looks great all over the lid or blended into the crease as a transitional shade.

Limit: A light dusty rose matte shade. This makes a great crease colour or transitional shade if you are blending darker colours.

Buzz: This is such a gorgeous metallic rose gold with tiny silver glitter. It looks great all over the lid and really brings out blue eyes.

Trick: A light metallic copper shade with a pink under-tone. It looks great all over the lid like Buzz.
L-R: Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, Darkside, Blackheart
Nooner: This is a medium pinky/brown matte which is basically Limit but darker. It's a gorgeous crease shade.

Liar: A metallic mauve shimmer.

Factory: It's a pinky brown satin shade. 

Mugshot: This is a metallic taupe shimmery shade with a slight pink tinge.

Darkside: Is a deep taupe mauve satin shade.

Blackheart: This is a gorgeous shade and although I rarely use it it's one of my favourite shades. It's a black matte shade with pink/red sparkle. It looks great in the outer v.

The pigmentation and softness of these shadows is incredible. I cannot fault one shadow. They're all different shades and they compliment each other really well. Urban Decay's eye shadows are phenomenal and I definitely recommend picking one of their palettes up. If rose-toned eye shadows are for you then the Naked 3 is right up your street.

What is your favourite Naked palette?

  2. I purchased the 'naked 3 palette' off eBay only to find out it was fake.. To be honest the £10 buy it now price didn't make me too sure.. Anyway I thought £10, won't matter too much if it's fake... The pigmentation is terrible, I layer on loads and it picks up literally nothing! I just can't bring myself to drop £37, even though it's been on my wish list for about 6 months!;)

    1. I only have Bourjois's CC cream but it's too dark for me so I mix it with white foundation, aha! I'm on the hunt for a pale BB cream tho. xx

  5. I have the naked 2 and was tempted to buy this palette but I'm not sure if the pinks will suit my eye colour as other pink shadows don't, but I bet all the shades will look great with blue eyes x
