The Naked3 Palette

I'm sure by now, most beauty people will have heard of the ever-raved about Naked eyeshade palettes by Urban Decay. If you're new to them, they're basically a palette consisting of 12 neutral eyeshadows. What makes them so special you ask? Well, they are extremely pigmented, blend so easily and are some of the best neutral palettes out there.

Available here for £37

The first Naked palette consisted of bronze and gold warm toned neutrals. The Naked2 was made up of taupe-y cool toned colours. Then a mini-palette was introduced called the The Naked Basics (review and swatches here) containing 5 matte shades and 1 shimmery highlighter shade. Just before Christmas, social media went crazy over rumours about a Naked3 palette. It turned out those rumours were true, and soon, everyone went Naked3 mad!

The Naked3 palette is made up of 12 rosy-toned neutrals. There is a good mixture of glitter, shimmer and matte shadows, all of which have a rose undertone, but are slightly warm toned as well, making it perfect for anyone to wear them. I can imagine these being flattering for almost every skin tone, and any eye colour. Each shadow has great colour-payoff, and are buttery soft and so easy to blend.

I really love this palette. I do have all three (four counting the basics palette) but I seem to be reaching for this palette a lot more than any of the others just lately. I would say, if you don't have any, and are considering buying one, I would probably say choose this one, as the first palette is very warmed tone, which darker skin tones seem to pull off better, and the second palette is a lot more cool toned, which can be hard to pull off for some paler skin tones, but this palette will suit pretty much everyone.
