How's the quality on the NYX and Sonia Kashuk? Ashy, chalky, or dusty? I haven't purchased a drugstore makeup in a really long time. Well, I picked up a blusher from Maybelline and two lipsticks  recommended by members here. Other than that it's been years.
NYX is very pigmented. A few of the colors are a bit powdery though. I prefer UD for texture but I would settle for the NYX version if I absolutely couldn't have my UD naked palettes

What does everyone think of the naked flush palette? I have naked 1, 2 and basics and I use them every day (almost) I love naked 2 and basics so much! Oh yeah I'm usually between nc20-nc30 if I go out in the sun too much lol!

I find the quality on the Sonia Kashuk palette to be great. As is the case with some mattes it can be a wee bit powdery. I always take this palette and another random one when I travel. It goes with everything!

Oh yeah. I had a Sonia Kashuk palette years ago. We're talking maybe 15 and it was not good. Not really suited for WOC. I'm sure I was using a sponge applicator though. LOL I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the recommendation.

I think Naked Basics is a good palette that works well for everyone. It's a great supplement palette and works great alone if you prefer a mostly matte look. I use it more to supplement though
I wear NW45 in MAC's Studio Fix Fluid Foundation and have seen mixed reviews and video tutorials for people with my skin tone or close to it. It seems that it works well for some and others are unsatisfied with results they get. I think the best thing is to probably check out it out for myself the next time I go to Sephora. If anything, I can certainly use it for a supplemental palette as I can see myself using the lighter colors to highlight the browbone and the darker colors on my lid and crease to serve as a base if I decide not to go completely matte (although I would probably use it for a mostly matte look). Thanks for the advice! I was about ready to write it off completely but now I want to at least try it first.

That is your best bet (checking it out in person) but I would like to point out that despite it being called a mattes palette, all of the shadows are not matte. I can't recall if it's only one or two of the colors but at least one is a satin color. Not that it would necessarily make a difference in your thoughts but I just thought it was important to point out.

Actually that's good to know BFE. I assumed it was entirely matte.
It's advertised as such but it's a tiny bit of a fib lol. I checked real quick and the one that is satin is Venus (the first one in the palette)

You might not be able to tell from my skin swatch above though (sorry I couldn't get a good pic)

Thanks for pointing that out as I was certainly under the impression that they were all matte. I just looked at some swatches and it appears that the first color Venus definitely has some shimmer to it from what I can see (I can't tell as much with the other lighter colors and it seems like the darker colors look matte). After taking a second look at this palette, I think I can make it work. :)

Yes Venus is the satin color. It has some sheen. The others are matte. It really is a very versatile palette IMO.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this before but the Sonja Kashuk matte palette has a few dupes for the Naked Basics palette. It costs $19.99 and has 12 colors. Worth checking out.
I didn't read the entire post, but I want to add that at MUA website (British drugstore brand) they have 2 pallets, the Undressed line that are very close dupes to both Naked and Naked 2 and they like £4.

The French Sephora announced a few hours ago on its Facebook page a new Naked 3 would be in stores by the end of the year... source: https://fr-fr.facebook.com/sephora.france

C'est l'info beauté du jour : après les palettes Naked et Naked 2 d'Urban Decay, la palette Naked 3 sortira d'ici la fin de l'année en exclusivité chez Sephora ! Cliquez sur J'aime si vous êtes aussi impatiente que nous de pouvoir la découvrir !


Translation: after Naked 1 and 2 palettes, Urban Decay's Naked 3 palette will be sold by the end of the year exclusively at Sephora!

Given the Naked Basics palette hit stores months ago, I don't think this Naked 3 is the Naked Basics palette, but then I heard nothing about a Naked 3... Is it a very late/early April's fool or is a Naked 3 palette really coming?

People aren't really drawn to the Naked Basics palette. I can see why they're quickly moving forward to the Naked 3. I can't wait!

I actually love it. Not as a one-and-done palette but as a supplement. I think it's a great staple piece that can work with anything but that's just me.

I would buy naked 3 the day it comes out. I love my Naked 1&2 and Basics and flushed palette.

I'm going to take a "wait and see" approach to a possible Naked 3. I wouldn't be surprised if they did come out with a 3rd palette. After all Naked 1,2, Naked Basics and Flushed has been very successful for them. However I skipped the Naked 2 and everything that came after the naked palette in the Naked range. How many more times can I say the word naked in this post?

Naked 3 is confirmed DILLIGAF so you have to make a decision. LOL I only have the original palette. I like it a lot, but not enough to pick up 2 right now. If 3 has less shimmers/glitters then I may be tempted. Holiday is wallet-killing.
