The colours in this Naked palette are so beautiful. Whilst Naked and Naked2 featured yellow-y undertones, the shades in this ones are primarily soft pinks, with the occasional taupe and a black with a bit of a twist.
There are three matte shades in this palette. I absolutely adore Urban Decay's matte shades because they make excellent bases. They can be worn alone as simple day to day makeup, or amped up a bit with shimmery shades. The matte shades in this palette are Strange, Limit and Nooner. Strange is by far the palest shade, and therefore the shade that I am most drawn to as a base. It can be applied right up to the brow-bone in order to eliminate the blue-ish undertones that sometimes feature on the delicate skin around the eye. I definitely think that this is the shade I'm going to end up using up first!
There are three satin shades in the palette: Burnout (a dusty pink shade), Factory (a pink-toned brown) and Darkside (a darker taupe shade) . I haven't ventured into the territory of Darkside yet but it seems perfect for nights out and would look great dusting the lower lash-line. As for Burnout and Factory, they are ideal for creating day-to-night looks: not to dark and not too light, they produce a really lovely subtle smokey eye if you apply them to the outer corner of the lid.
A lot of the shades have shimmer in them: Dust and Buzz are the pinkier shimmers whilst Liar and Mugshot are more taupe-y. Trick is the Naked 3 palette's equivalent to the Naked 2's Half Baked in that it is a light gold. Trick is only shadow that has yellow undertones in the palette.
The final shade in the palette is Blackheart - a blacky purple shade with flecks of red glitter. It sounds unusual but it works very well with the rest of the shades and is ideal again for lining the upper and lower lash lines.
I haven't yet managed to use all of the shadows in the Naked 3 palette, but I'm really looking forward to using them, you can bet that more pictures are to come.
All the best for 2014 everyone! Mwah!
