Following the success of their Heaven and Earth palette and to the delight of many MUA fans (myself included!) Make-up Academy have released their brand new Undressed Palette. This palette has caused a major buzz in the beauty blogging industry and the words ‘naked’ and ‘palette’ has been thrown around a fair amount. Well, a secret source has confirmed to me that the Undressed Palette IS an exact dupe of Urban Decay’s Naked Palette. *SQUEAL!* How exciting!  I personally don’t own a Naked Palette (I refuse to pay £36 for an eyeshadow palette!)  but from all the blogs I have looked at, it is a very good dupe. I don’t think all the colours are spot on, but for a very long time many make-up artists and bloggers have looked for dupes to no avail, until now. If you aren’t convinced yet then let me just tell you that you can pick this palette up for *wait for it* FOUR POUNDS!!!!!!! Thats a whole 9x cheaper than the Urban Decay version!

SWATCHES

TOP ROW- Shades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 
A lot of these shades were fairly similar to my skin tone so the swatches aren’t that clear (sorry!)

 

BOTTOM ROW- Shades 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

As always the eyeshadows are very highly pigmented and have a great colour pay out as well as a beautiful soft consistency. 

The great thing about this palette is that you can create loads of different looks.

OVERALL
I am loving this palette! For the price and the shade selection it is beautiful! For anyone that doesn’t have the Urban Decay Naked palette, you don’t need it! Save you money and opt for the MUA Undressed instead (even the name is nicer). Another source has also confirmed for me that the UD Naked palette is being discontinued! What more of a reason do you need to pick up the MUA palette?

Hope you are as excited as me!!
One last thing- please please can you make a Naked2 dupe pleeeaaassee MUA.

Stay creative
