Dun dun duuuuuuuun!
I'm back! And I'm the proud owner of the gorgeous, perfect Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. When I saw the teaser images for this palette, my little heart skipped a beat...
I'm happy to say I'm absolutely in love with every single shade in the Naked 3 palette. Where the Naked palette was aimed at golds and warm neutrals, and Naked 2 was silvers and cool neutrals, the Naked 3 is all about rose gold! Every shade has a slight pink or mauve undertone to them, and I love the way it works with my skin tone.
Here are the swatches! I took the descriptions from Urban Decay's site.
Strange: Pale, neutral pink matte-satin
Dust: Pale metallic pink shimmer w/ iridescent micro-glitter
Burnout: Light pinky-peach satin
Limit: Light dusty rose matte
Buzz: Metallic rose shimmer w/ silver micro-glitter
Trick: Light metallic pinky-copper shimmer w/ tonal micro-sparkle
Nooner: Medium pink-brown matte
Liar: Medium metallic mauve shimmer
Factory: Pinky-brown satin
Mugshot: Metallic taupe shimmer w/ slight pink shift
Darkside: Deep taupe-mauve satin
Blackheart: Smoky black matte w/ rosy red micro-sparkle
Like I said, I'm in love with every single color. They're all amazing quality, as is expected with Urban Decay shadows, and all of them are pretty accurate to their descriptions. Blackheart is a little misleading just because if apply the color normally, you really won't catch any of the red glitter in your look. It is pretty much invisible, even in a swatch, but may possibly stick out more if you use some kind of mixing medium or something like that. It's still a beautiful color, just don't expect to notice the glitter when your actually wearing it.
I have been using this palette for the last few weeks as I've had all my other makeup boxed up for our move. We just bought a house (pictures to come eventually!) and I've had very little time for makeup, but have used this palette for my daily eye looks. It's very versatile and I've come up with a ton of beautiful new looks. I did a tutorial of one of my favorites!
Woo for silly face :)
Until next time!
XOXOXO
