Perfect Everyday Palette: Urban Decay Naked 3 Swatches & Review

I think a good and reliable everyday, no-brainer palette is an essential in every makeup stash - whether you're a beginner with makeup or not. With so many palettes out on the makeup market right now, it can be extremely overwhelming to find a good everyday palette. But the palette that I personally think would be a good addition to your arsenal is Urban Decay's Naked 3 - if you're a lover of warm, rose-gold coloured eyeshadows then you've come to the right place! 

I think rose-gold eyeshadows can be extremely flattering on so many different eye colours and skin tones, the palette consists of both shimmery and matte formulas, but there is definitely a lot more shimmery shades than matte in this palette.

Pigmentation: Since the brand is Urban Decay, the pigmention of the colours are great, the colours for the most part are smooth and true to colour, but "dust" did pick up more chalky than the other colours but still blended well on the eyes. The darker colours can take some layering to make them really intense but that's good for people who tend to put too much and go overboard - it's fool proof! Otherwise for an everyday look, the pigmentation is there and a little goes a long way so this palette will last you years!

Colour combination: If you love rose-coloured shadows then this is the palette for you! The palette has enough light and mid tone colours for your to create an everyday look - and a few choice of darker colours for you to smoke out your makeup for the night time. I just wished there were 1 or 2 more warmer matte shades to chuck into the crease for a 1-2 shadow look. Even though there isn't a black in the palette - layering the darker colours can give you an almost black type of effect.

Packaging: Beautiful rose-gold packaging, compact and durable + comes with a big mirror, good for travelling when you want to bring one palette

Lasting Power: The eyeshadows lasted for a good 5-6 hours on me before creasing and fading on my oily eyelids, but when paired with the urban Decay original primer potion then they last all day with no problem!

Price & Where To Purchase: retails for $83AUD and can be purchased off Mecca

Rating: 4/5
