As much as I love my
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette and as pretty as it is, I still feel at £37.00 it did cost a lot of money, especially for something that you’re essentially applying to your face and then later washing it off. Now the colour selection in the Naked 3 Palette is superb, it contains a whole host of beautiful shades which as mostly pink toned neutrals which you don’t see too often (Well I don’t anyway) but let’s get back to the price, it’s not exactly purse friendly or to everyone’s budget, is it? Well there’s now a £4.00 dupe of the market from brand new cosmetic company Makeup Revolution.
The palette is called
Iconic 3 and contains 12 shades which are unbelievably identical to those in the famous Naked 3 palette. How similar you ask? Well in terms of shade they’re uncanny. The only shades that I feel are a little off are Nooner, which simply has slightly poorer pigmentation which makes it a little harder to work with. Factory which is a smidgen lighter and Blackheart which doesn’t contain as much glitter and isn’t as pigmented but apart from those three, the rest are pretty much spot on. Texture? Well the Urban Decay shades do have better quality due to the Makeup Revolution colour being a little on the crumbly side which can cause slight fall out but it’s not anything major that can’t be tackled with a decent primer and let’s be honest here, when you compare the two and take into consideration that if you purchase the Makeup Revolution palette you save yourself £33.00, I think it’s pretty darn good for the price.
