I’ve spent the good part of this past weekend playing with this new toy! (Funny how our ‘toys’ change as we get older!) I must say I am madly in love with Naked3, just as much as I thought I would be, and then some. For me, it’s the pink and purple shades – yep, I said purple! If you look closely, the seemingly normal brown shades masquerade themselves as purple once they’re applied to the eyes. It’s an unreal effect!
My most favorite eyeshadows so far from this palette are Buzz, Trick, Factory, Darkside, and Blackheart; I do have one least favorite shade and that is Dust – appropriately named. It’s a glitter nightmare and that’s all there is to say about that one. I have found I like to use it in the center of my bottom lip with pink lipsticks for greater dimension, so that will more than likely be how I’ll use it from now on (I DO like it for that!).
I do feel this palette is dupeable, though and I spotted some dupes early on in working with it. For example, Blackheart is a dead ringer for MAC’s Beauty Marked, Strange could be substituted with MAC’s Yogurt and Burnout reminds me of a pinker version of MAC’s Jest. However, there are some newer shades very hard to dupe with anything else, like Trick for example.
If you are trying to decide whether or not this palette is right for you, I’ll make it reeeeaaal easy! 😉 If you really liked the Naked2 palette from Urban Decay, and didn’t care for Naked1, you can skip Naked3 as this is a very warm palette comparative to Naked1. On the other hand, if you have a warm or neutral complexion, this palette is a must-have!

Athena Boggs
I bought this palette and I love it! Thanks SO much for this beautiful pink look!
Zabrena
Whooo hoooo!! 🙂 Enjoy, Athena!
Laura
It was love at first sight at Ulta…but after reading this, I know I have to get it…even if the Hubs doesn’t get it for me for Christmas! I LOVE the color and style of your hair in these pics Zabrena. Suits you very well!
Zabrena
LOL! Go for it, Laura! I’m the say way – “You didn’t get my hints, fine! I’ll buy it myself – haha!”
Thanks for the hair compliments!
Mariella
I’ll go ya both one better. I will pick up what it is I want and announce to hubby “Here’s what you got me for Xmas”. At this point and with his impatience for shopping, he’s usually more relieved than anything!
Zabrena
LOL!! I like it!! 😀 Haha!
I’ll admit, I usually don’t ask for makeup for presents. I usually ask for shoes – and hubby is all too happy to get them for me usually. LOL!
Melany Smith

Carolyn Franz

Hi beautiful! Looking lovely as ever. 🙂 I have a bit of a question though. Is it just me or do some of these eyeshadows seem to run together? Some seem to be so close in color that there is not a lot of definition. Maybe it’s just me.
Zabrena
Thanks babe! 🙂 They do and they can definitely start to run together if you pair the wrong ones together. It took me about 5 tries before I found this combo because of that. So not just you! 😉
Andrea
This is absolutely the palette I’ve been waiting for! Between the pinks and purples here and the golden pink tones in Lorac Unzipped I’ll won’t need anything else. As if! 🙂
Zabrena
Haha! We can dream, can’t we?! 😀
Karah
Naked 3 would probably be great with Naked 2 and Vice 2. So many choices! Now that you have had time to look at and use Vice 2 more, what are some of your favorites in that palette? Like your top five e/s? Thanks Z! 🙂
Zabrena
Oh golly! 🙂 I’d say Toxic, Coax, and Damaged off the top of my head; those I remember being the most unique from that palette. I also really like VooDoo!
Peggy Boersma
Love love love! Tank you Z!
Zabrena
Welcome! 😉
Peggy Boersma
Oops darned autocorrect, lol! THANK you! 😀
Michelle
Hi Z! Thank you for the most instructive and SuperFun tutorials! By the way, I’m Happy for your wonderful reunion w/your mom!
May God bless you, and your loved ones, in the NEW YEAR and ALWAYS!
By the way, how does Naked 3 compare to Unzipped? Dupes? Thank YOU.
Zabrena
Thank you so much, Michelle! 🙂 God Bless you, too!!
I will be doing a comparison with it against the Unzipped palette soon! Thanks for asking! 🙂
Lucy

Thanks for your lovely website.
I am Chinese (with NC25 skin tone, brown eyes & black hair) and trying to decide which UD palette (Naked, Naked1, Naked2 or Naked3) is best if I want the neutral (not-too-much-shimmer) look for engineering interviews/work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I think I’ve decided to cave and get this. I’m not a big fan of most pink eyeshadows on myself, but looking at it more, every shade from trick over just screams my name. LOVE those brownish shades with red and purple tones!!! 🙂 (I’m also probably going to commit ‘sacrilege’ and depot it into a z palette with naked and naked2… lol I really do get a lot more use out of them that way, and I can add in random shades I want to use with them that week.)
