Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!
I'm one of those girls who doesn't like to really go on to any makeup cult bandwagon as sometimes they don't live up to their hype *Revlon Lip Butter, yes, I'm talking about you..* I don't even get sucked in from the most talked product, the Urban Decay Primer Potion as I think my MUA Primer and Essence Eyeshadow Base suffice in terms of giving vibrant colors to my eyeshadows and prolongs eyeshadow wear.

So, I was actually interested in buying the Naked/Naked2 palette but as I am on a college budget, I don't think I'd be able to afford any high-end brands, so I decided that a dupe from a drugstore/online brand isn't such a bad thing as it just sets me back for $8 only.
To Bruneian readers, this is drugstore brand from UK, it has very cheap cosmetics with a good quality despite the price tag. It's something that really takes beauty blogger by the horn, I think this is a cult product that's worth investing in as their eyeshadow palettes are the ones that really does well.
Undressed palette is said to be a close dupe to the Naked Palette, please correct me if I'm wrong. So many had blogged about this. I was a bit apprehensive and contemplated on buying it as I don't really like cult products so much.
I'm not going to move on and describe the shades as I find it hard to actually describe colors but as for now, my favorite would be Shade 2 and Shade 8. I even like to match those two shades together. I have no problem with their pigmentation except for the matte shades (Shade 3 and Shade 5), although I can get a little pigmentation with Shade 5, no matter how much I try to layer the Shade 3, it is still invisible and doesn't even transfer a lot of pigments. Other than that, I like the creaminess of the shimmery shadows as I find them to apply nicely and also have never experience any fallouts in their shimmery shadows.
As you can see below, I actually found a dupe from Shade 12 of the Undressed palette with Shade 3 from the Starry Night palette, although it seems a little darker in tone, it really look similar to each other in real life.
About this palette, I still prefer my Heaven and Earth palette as it has more neutral shadows than Undressed. To me, Undressed has little neutral shadows and it might be suitable for darker looks and transition from day to night looks. So overall, it's still a nice palette to have. And I don't have to spend a lot of bucks on the Naked palette too! :D
I love the Revlon Lip Butter :) Im more of a lip balm than lipstick bcos they tend to be dry on my lips esp the MAC I have. I havent learn how to use eye shadow just yet but this pallete looks good. Fleur did use the same pallete if Im not mistaken :)
ReplyDeleteaww, glad that it works on you :D I guess it's all about preferences. You should try Silkygirl's Gloss Lipsticks, the ones that only has 8 shades available, as I think it'll suit your preference. Wearing eyeshadow is easy, using your fingers as a tool would suffice :D
DeleteRecently Im all about MUA Heaven & Earth and Undressed palettes, I found out that Undressed is actually dupe for Naked palette. I want the Naked/ Naked2 palette too but since Im still learning and I might not be using them that often so buying UD will be a waste. I'll buy MUA instead ;)
ReplyDeleteTrue, I wanted to buy the Naked/Naked2 palette to, but as I have a palette consisting of the same colour, I don't think I'll actually be using the Undressed palette a lot. Let alone using the Naked palettes. I'm still thinking on whether I should buy another Heaven and Earth palette as I don't even want to think about finishing it but I've already made a few dents on some of the shadows, lol.
