The moment I saw the picture on Instagram of the new UD Naked 3 palette I must admit I let out a little squeal. Having already owned both 1 & 2 UD Naked palettes, the initial thought is to question how this palette would be different from all others. Well, quite different actually. The 12 shades in this palette are all blush toned inspired from the lightest blush to rose golds to mauves, deep taupes and ending with a blackened golden pink blush. This palette was designed to tickle a girl's beauty fancy.

Yes the colours are gorgeous to look at but when swatched looks even more beautiful on the skin. Some of the colours did come off a little flakey or powdery such a DUST and BUZZ but that also means the pigmentation can be intensive if applied with a heavy hand.
Strange- light creamy colour with a hint of blush with a velvety finish
Dust- Light blush with lots of sparkle similar to a pressed pigment
Burnout- Shimmery mix of gold and blush
Limit- Matt light mauve
Buzz- Shimmery deep mauve
Trick- True rose gold colour that is shimmery (fav 1)
Nooner- Deep matt mauve
Liar- Similar to Trick in texture and colour only darker and more blush toned (fav 2)
Factory- Deep bronze with slight hint of sparkles with pronounced blush tone (fav 3)
Mugshot- Deep taupey bronze with shimmery texture
Darkside- Deep dark taupe
Blackheart- Black base with rose gold flecks throughout

| I think these sample of all the primer potions that Urban Decay sells are pretty generous |

| The palette also comes with a two ended brush that has a flat blender side and a flat end to apply shadows to the lid |
I definitely wouldn't classify this palette as a must have but more of a nice to have. The colours have amazing payoff but can come off a little flaky. I swatched all the colours over the original primer potion so I would recommend using the bases included in the palette for better colour payoff and staying power. I also would not recommend this palette to a beginner unless they have the original Naked palette which can be used for everyday makeup uses. Lastly, with all the naked palettes, my one complaint would be to include more mattes. At least one more would have been great to deepen the crease instead of a shimmery deep colour.
