NAKED 3 is real!!!

[DeeDee2013]

You returned it based on what others said instead of trying it yourself when you had it?

No clue why people would claim it wasn't WOC friendly. Most people that make claims like that tend to not have even tried the palette or just weren't that good at applying their makeup lol

Or used a qtip to swatch (no shade).....REALLY! After which they gave a negative review of UD N3....So consider the source before you make a decision.

I'm a woman of color and N3 is by far my favorite of the 3.....

I know that for some people it just didn't work but a lot just returned it with out really getting into it. I love mine and I find that using them foiled is soooooooooo freaking cute.

Foiled! That's a great idea....

alright, so I was lucky enough to get this palette for christmas (actually hubby told me he bought it for me back in November so I'd stop worrying about it). I've been wearing it 90% of the time I wear makeup nowadays and it's BY FAR my fave of the three Naked's! I do find it to be more cool toned and the pink shades flatter my eyes and skintone quite a lot. LOVE LOVE this!

So far I like the naked 3 however it does have some fallout in comparison to the previous versions.

i'm beating myself up now.

It's back in stock on sephora if you're still wanting to get it.

I agree with the fall out. With the more glittery shades I just use a bit of fix plus on my brush and foil them and I have little to no fall out at that point. Hope that helps.

Girl go b

i returned my N3 palette because I kept hearing people say it wasn't WOC friendly. I am a NC50 in Mac and now I am so pissed because I don't have this palette

girl go back and get it bc it's beautiful on us I'm nw43 and I LOVE it the colors show well!

I'm just surprised by the fallout from UD because naked and naked 2 has none. Which makes me wonder why this palette has it. Overall it still a beautiful palette but I'm very meticulous about where I spend and I just expected no fallout from them.

There are plenty of UD colors that have fallout (their glitter heavy colors usually) so unless you haven't really used too many of their shadows it shouldn't be a shock to come across some that may have it. Fallout doesn't mean poor quality automatically. If it's a glittery shadow then you are almost guaranteed to have some degree of fallout. There are ways to combat that if it's really bad (glitter base, a tacky primer or base, application technique adjustments for example) but it just depends. Also, if you're referring to one of the softer more buttery like shadows giving you fallout the issue could very well be the brush you're using or the amount of product that you're picking up on your brush. Really just depends. Not saying that you're doing anything wrong. Just some things to consider.

Hi there, I don't use singles from UD or any of their glittery shadows other than the UD naked franchise palettes. I did have the Alice in wonderland but sold it due to the colors not really being for me. IMO I feel the amount money I spend on full retail price makeup (no pro discount), I shld get exactly what I'm looking for and one of them being not having to deal with little to no fallout. I'm also a firm believer in quality brushes that I only utilize with my makeup application. Can't have poor brushes expecting great applications in my opinion of course. I'm comparing my naked 3 to the previous editions I have currently and I was just disappointed with the looseness in some of the shadows (not all) when picking up the product with my brush. Not too long ago, I tried illamasqua shadows for the first time and it was a powdery mess! There are very few brands I stick with that I can say the quality of the shadow equates to the price tag and that's not always the case with high end cosmetics. Brushes I use are Mac, Nars, hakuhodo, hourglass and a few Chanel (brush addict)!

Understood but something else you should realize...even though it doesn't feel like a discount considering the price paid you actually did get a discount of sorts. These are full sized shadows (as far as weight and volume). With that in mind you would pay $18 per shadow if you could recreate the palette ($216 total). Yes, you paid full retail if you didn't take advantage of the sephora coupon like a lot of others were able to but in general the UD palettes aren't eligible for pro discount so unless picked up during one of their 20% sales everyone pays about the same for it. But ultimately what I was getting at is that in some cases application technique can be the issue...all kinds of things. If you feel like it's a quality issue then it's possible but in the case of UD shadows, which I work with a lot both in single form and from various palettes the formula is buttery soft for a lot of the shadows. That's not a poor quality flag...it is in fact intentional and requires less product pickup when applying or you will have fallout from having too much on your brush. In that case it doesn't matter how high quality your brushes are if you have too much product on them. I personally prefer working with more buttery textured formulas (it's why MAC's Veluxe Pearl is one of my fave of their formulas) versus stiffer formulas generally. Not everyone will love that and it sounds like you aren't a fan of that formula. Trust me when I say out of all makeup I am an eye shadow snob and always have been lol. I am extremely picky about the shadows I use and their formulas so I completely understand that. None of what I said was an attack on you or your tools. They were general possibilities listed that were something to just consider. May or may not apply to you. Ultimately, if you don't like it you just don't like it. I don't work for UD so I have nothing to gain from trying to convince you otherwise. Other than having a pro discount with UD (which like I said, can't be used on most palettes or sets so it didn't save me any money on this palette) I don't get anything from them but an opportunity to spend my hard earned money just like the next person.

No pun intended. I did not feel attacked. I completely understand everyone has their own pet peeve about their likes and dislikes. Mine are fallout! lol I've been doing makeup so long, I just know what I like and I'm sure the same with you as I can tell. I mentioned pro discount with all makeup purchases...I know that can be easier because makeup in general esp high-end can be expensive. As for the naked 3 palette...technique can minimize fallout but in the end it's still there and something I personally can do without. I opted out of returning because it really is a pretty palette and I can manage the fallout, I just did not expect it. All in all I give it a B+ and if a naked 4 surfaces in the future....they will get another $50 bucks from me! lol I did not use my 20% because I purchased it directly from UD site on their launch day and discount was not available at the time. But great for those that were able to utilize their discount. Again I don't do singles from UD just prefer their naked palettes for now. There are few brands I buy singes from over their palettes because they are my favorites for that reason primarily. Thank you again for your observation

I'm not sure if you're familiar with bobbi brown shadows but they're shadows I love and almost all of her eyeshadows. I find some of her shadows buttery soft (not all) when using them. Depending on the finish you get from her brand. So I'm very comfortable w/ buttery shadows versus stiff hard ones I've worked with.

Yes I'm familiar with her shadows but none I have used have quite been on the same level of buttery soft as UD shadows, some Inglot, and perhaps Shu Umera (just a few I'm thinking of right off hand). Not that it's a bad thing lol. I just haven't come across any that were as equally soft as of yet.

I'm more a neutral kinda girl and that's what I get from bobbi brown. But I do like UD and what they bring in their quality of shadows. Most of my purchases are from their setting prays! No one else is bringing it better at the moment. Ingot was just too pigmented for my taste (weird I know). I sold my 20 pan palette from them. lol

I've seen some great neutral palettes people have put together from Inglot. My Inglot shadows are in my kit so I don't use them too often for personal use but most of the colors I have from them are pretty tame. But yes they are very pigmented....which works out well for photos lol. One of the colors I used on a bridal party stood out amazingly in the pictures. Lucked out on having the color since they decided at the last minute that they wanted their shadow to be the same color as the dresses lol

I've tried a lot of different eyeshadow brands from Cover Girl to Chanel and have had the worst luck with Bobbi Brown. I've tried the singles and palettes and found them to be poorly pigmented, especially considering the price BB charges. I've had some fallout with the more shimmery UD shades but I've found the quality and value to be among the best. I don't think fallout is a sign of poor quality, it's just a result of having shimmer or glitter in the shadow. I've had fallout issues with MAC and Kat Von D as well as UD.
