I decided when my original Naked palette ran out id go ahead and buy a new one. However with so many different palettes out there, The original Naked palette, Naked palette 2 , Naked palette 3 and then the Naked basics palette, its hard to choose ONLY one. I took a leap of faith however and went with the Naked 3 as its the newest out there.
This palette appealed to me anyway as I Love love laaavee pinky tones. (Noway I can hear you all sigh haha) .
Base –
For my base I used all the steps I usually do matching the correct foundation to my models skintone and obviously basing the highlighting colour and contour around her skintone. The contour I used on this model was particulary heavy as that was the desired effect.

Eyes –
For this look I used four colours from this palette. ‘Buzz, Nooner, Trick and Limit’
- First I applied Urban Decay’s ‘Eye Primer Potion’ all over the lid. Or as I call it, my Magic wand!
- I then used my Sigma Beauty Precision Angeled P84 brush and packed on the shade ‘Buzz’ on the outer crease.
- Next I took ‘Nooner’ and applied it using the same brush just above where the crease is to create the illusion of a bigger eye. This is 10000000 gillion , million my favourite colour in this palette.
- I then blended that shade out with my Sigma E40 blending brush.
- Next I took the shade ‘Trick’ with my P86 tappered blending brush and packed that warm glittery gold shade on to the centre and inner corners of the lid.
- I took my E40 brush back out and blended these colours together moving forwards and back to create a smooth transition.
- As a transition colour I took ‘Limit’ and applied it above were ‘Nooner’ stopped blending it up to the brow bone. (Limit has a lovely glimmer to it which also acts as a highlight which is perfect for the brow bone, brows on point)
- Again this colour was blended out and upward towards the brow bone , creating a lovely transition.
- For the eyeliner I used a very light brown shade from Fuschia ‘Mythiology’ as a black eyeliner would be too much of a contrast with these shades.
- Lashings of mascara using Benifit’s ‘Theyre real Mascara’
Brows –
- Using ‘Benifits Brow Zings’ in the lightest shade.
The finished look of the base and eyes came together and looked gorgeous on my model and overall Im very happy with the results of the Naked 3 palette!
