I'm sure you've seen the Urban Decay Naked Palettes pop up here a little bit and rightly so because they are extremely useful! All the shades I could need tucked away in one little palette. There's much debate around which one is better, the Naked original or Naked 2 and for creating a smokey eye I have to go with Naked original as there is a greater mix between matt and shimmer shades. Make Up Academy, a brand which I'm not very familiar with have brought out a new palette called Undressed which seems to be a fantastic duplicate for the Urban Decay Naked Palette!
The shades, both swatched below are extremely similar and a much more reasonable price at £4 as opposed to £36. Some of the shades are even more pigmented than the Urban Decay!
The top row of swatches is Make Up Academy and the bottom is Urban Decay and apart from a couple of shades the difference between the two palettes is hardly noticeable!
Have you ever tried any of the Make Up Academy Palettes?
Wow great dupe! They look very similar indeed! Now I almost wish I didn't buy the UD Naked 2...
ReplyDeleteAh I know what you mean! Such a price diff ;) x
DeleteI did a post about this at the weekend and loads of people commented about how similar they were. It's uncanny. I definitely wouldn't splash out on the Urban Decay ones again xx
ReplyDeleteAh! It's so obvious isn't it! Such a fantastic dupe :) x
DeleteI would love to get this palette! I dont have the Naked palette so this does seem like a good choice. thanks for informing me! :)

No problem Jackie - thanks for the lovely comment :) x
DeleteOh wow they look almost identical! I have tried the MUA heaven and earth palette, but the quality of the packaging is terrible. I loved the consistency of the eye shadows, they were really nice and pigmented. xx Hope you're well
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! I'll see how the packaging holds up - nice to have a warning I'll be extra careful now! xx
DeleteI have the first Naked Palette already so i hope mua do a dupe for the second one! I cant believe how similar the shades are x
ReplyDeleteMe too! Would be great :) x
DeleteLooking at these it's like it was made with the intention of being a cheaper NAKED palette! I can barely notice the difference between the colours xx

DeleteI am actually ashamed to say I don't own any MUA palettes! I have no idea why though because all I hear is good reviews! Will have to bite the bullet! :) Hannah xxx

DeleteWow! ... they weren't even subtle about it, it's very clearly a dupe - and WHAT a dupe! I'd love to get my hands on that pallet...
ReplyDeleteYou can always order it online :) x
DeleteI love the undressed palette!

Seems that everyone is thinking the same thing :) x
DeleteI love my MUA Heaven and Earth palette and always thought it's only let down was that it had no matte shades so I'm really happy to see this. I can't believe how similar it is to the naked palette! I will definitely be buying undressed as I know how much use i get out of H&E and for four quid, who can complain! xx
