Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette Review & Swatches

Hello everyone! I know I'm a little late with this one but I wanted to share my opinion on the new Naked 3 palette. I went and got it the night it came out at Sephora and I am so happy that I decided to get it.

 The case is really pretty and I think they did a great job on the look of it considering the eye shadow colors are all rose gold/pink toned.

 The palette comes with twelve gorgeous shades including mattes, pearls and metallics.

 I swatched the first six shadows on my arm ( above, without any primer) and you can tell how pigmented they are. (From left to right) Strange is a nice matte cream color that is perfect for highlighting (although I prefer Venus from the Naked Basics palette, this is basically a matte of that color). Dust is a beautiful metallic pink that is very pigmented, it does have some fallout so I recommend primer and to use a tissue to wipe off the sparkle from your cheeks. Burnout is a pretty pearl and it's an all around great color, I use it for lid or crease. Limit is another great rose colored matte and I love it. Buzz is a darker metallic and it goes great as an outer corner color. And finally for the picture above, Trick is an absolutely beautiful golden/ rose colored hue that I use to give my look a little OOMPH. It is a metallic and it is just a color that looks great on every skin tone. It's my favorite shadow in this palette.  

Now for the last six colors. (Also without primer) Nooner is a matte that is even darker that Limit and it is a great crease color. Liar is a rose toned shimmer that is gorgeous as well. Factory is another one of my favorites because it is a darker gold/brown color that looks magnificent on everyone. Mugshot is yet another dark shimmer and has a golden tone to it. Darkside is kind of a tricky color because it looks matte when you see it in the palette but when you put it on you notice it does has a shimmer quality to it. Great for a night time look in the outer corner or in the crease. Lastly, Blackheart is the darkest shade of the shadows and it is a matte black with red sparkle added in. The red sparkle gives the shadow a nice shimmer as well.

I also liked the brush that came with the palette. I love the fact that it is duel ended. It's perfect for traveling because I don't have to worry about packing extra eye shadow brushes if I don't have room. The palette also came with four samples of the primers that Urban Decay has. I like all of them and they work really well so I am considering buying the original color.

Overall, I really like this palette and I'm happy that I bought it. I normally wouldn't spend $52 on one item but I had a gift card and a $15 off coupon at Sephora so it worked out really well.

Let me know if you guys liked this review or if you would like to see some tutorials on different looks from this palette.
