Naked 3 Palette Review

So in the beauty world today, everyone is OBSESSED with The Naked collection by Urban Decay. Their palettes can be for beginners and for professionals, it gives people a lot of option. I am a beginner myself and choose the Naked 3 palette mainly because of my skin type and complexion. The Naked 3 offers pink toned neutrals and also gives the option to explore the smokey eye look with their colours 'Blackheart' and 'Darkside'. Both of these colours are beautiful; I ended up creating a smokey eye for my prom which was about a month ago. It looked beautiful, even though I usually don't tend to lean towards a smokey eye, it would look great on anyone. 

The range of colours is what caught my eye and had me wishing for this palette for forever. My advice is to do some research on all five of the palettes they offer (Naked Basics, Naked Basics 2, Naked, Naked 2, and Naked 3) and know which colours go with your skin tone and your style so it is easier to branch off from there. 

Another awesome thing about this palette is that it comes with four samples of their primers. These primers do wonders and allow your makeup to stay on all day and night! If you are new to primers and do not know what to expect, try putting on a lighter colour first because it is harder to blend in the beginning compared to your bare skin. It takes some getting used to but it is definitely worth it. Even if you are putting on your makeup just for a day in and around the house, it makes you feel better knowing that your're not wasting your product and it won't be sliding around. Also, if you don't put primer on you tend to get a lot of fall off and end up having to remove it which is a pain. STICK TO USING THE PRIMER! The tiny samples last a long time and when I run out of them I will be re-purchasing a full size primer because I simply cannot get enough of it!

The Brush that also comes in the package is beautiful! It is easy for beginners and could easily be used by professionals. It blends out the shadows very well with the fluffier end and can really pack on the more glittery shadows with the stiffer end!

There really is something to be worked up about over the Naked collections and I cannot WAIT for their next Naked palette to be released.
