Review & Tutorial: Urban Decay Naked3 Palette

Oh yes! I finally got my hands on this baby! The Urban Decay Naked3 palette contains a great balance of pink and brown hues to suit any occasion or skin tone.The pigment of the eye shadows is great (as always) and I find them very easy to blend. At first it can be overwhelming having 12 colours to pick and combine. In my excited state I wanted to pack as many as possible onto my eyelid, oh dear!  

Colour rundown:

• Strange is a great white matte shade that works well as a base to neutralize the lid. 
• Dust is a pale pink with shimmer. I did find this one to have quite a bit of fall out due to its powdery texture.  
• Burnout is a close cousin of Dust because of its pinky tones. It does have a more pearly finish and more brown undertones. I find I reach for this colour the most because it can go with any look, its smooth (not powdery like dust) and not fall out! 
• Limit is another great matte shade its great to use as a blending colour. 
• Buzz is one of my favorite of the bunch because it is such a versatile shade! it has a rose shimmer but also a copper undertone. it has  great texture and colour payoff! I like to layer this one with Liar add depth to the crease of the eyelid.
• Trick is a pinky-gold shade with a lot of shimmer. It is perfect for adding a pop of colour.
• Nooner is another matte one perfect for blending or neutralizing the lid. 
• Liar is a pink mauve colour with shimmer, it is a warm tone so it can be pared with just about any colour from the palette. It has a shimmery finish with a creamy texture. 
• Factory is a brown shimmer shade with great pigmentation and soft texture. I love using this shade in the crease of the eyelid, it can be great for a creating a dramatic eye or a subtle daytime look. 
• Mugshot is another muave-tone colour. It is a darker one of the bunch but still a great blending colour to intensify the look. It has great colour payoff.
• Darkside is a gorgeous colour because of its deep taupe colour. It has nice pigmentation and blends beautifully with other shades. 
• Blackheart is obviously the darkest of them all with a smokey burgundy tone. this colour will turn any look from day time to night time appropriate! 

Overall, the palette is beautiful, UD has put a twist on the classic neutral eye shadow palette with its gorgeous pink hues.
