Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

Urban Decay Naked palettes are without a doubt a blogger favourite - always being included in instagram posts and makeup tutorials. I never really understood why, until I bought Naked 3 and OMG it is ah-mazing!

For a eye makeup novice like me, it is the perfect palette to start with, as all the shades are quite pale but very pigmented and easy to blend together in a number of different ways - meaning if you go a little wrong it might not be as noticeable! However, there are a couple of darker shades if you want something a little more smoky. I also love the rose gold tin as it looks so classy and I also feel it protects the eyeshadow inside so they would be less likely to break if you were carrying it around in a bag. The look I created it super simple and subtle, but really helps to bring out my blue eyes and even better, it takes all of 5 mins to create!

Firstly, I used the shade 'Nooner' and a big fluffy brush to cover my entire eyelid and blended out the edge to make it look softer and more natural. Next, using a small flat brush I applied 'Darkhorse' to the outer corner of my eye up into the crease and slightly along the lash line and once again blended it in with the bigger brush to soften the lines. Once again with the small brush, 'Strange' was applied to the inner corner of my eye to brighten the area and blended it in a little. I also applied a little of the 'Nooner' shade along my lower lash line. With a thin line of eyeliner and a few coats of mascara to complete the look.

This has defiantly been my go-to makeup look at the moment as it is so quick to do - the photo above really doesn't do it justice and trust me, it does look a lot better in person!

Have you bought/tried the Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay and what did you think of it? Also, what are the other Naked palettes like? I want to try them all!
