Hey my loves,
Seeing as I previously posted a review on the
NAKED Urban Decay eye shadow palette, I thought it would only be right to post
a cheaper alternative, £38 for one palette is quite pricey after all.
MUA released the Undressed palette in July
2012, this palette became widely available in superdrug stores
across the UK. (If you aren't in the UK and want this palette, MUA now ships
internationally.) The palette has a combination of nude shimmers and mattes,
ideal for creating a toned down day time look or a smokey toned look for the
evening.
MUA priced this palette at £4, yes, you heard
right, £4 measly pounds! Having tried out MUA's previous palette
(heaven and earth) I was really impressed by the eye shadows and
the pigmentation they gave out so I thought I would head down to my
nearest superdrug and pick up the new undressed palette.
This palette was highly raved before it was
even released, this was because there was a lot of talk on it being a dupe of
the NAKED palette. Everyone who was talking was completely right!
The MUA undressed palette consists of 12
different shades, 2 matte and 10 shimmer (exactly the same as the UD NAKED.)
All of the shades which MUA have used are dupes of each colour in the NAKED
palette.
Unlike UD, MUA haven't given their shades a
name, they have simply just numbered them from 1-12. Ideally I like the idea of
individual names for each shade, but due to the low cost MUA opted out of this
feature.
All of the shades
which MUA use are very pigmented and have great colour payoff, especially as
you are only paying £4 for the product. Understandably, Urban Decay has better
pigmentation and colour pay off compared to MUA BUT there isn't a lot of
difference.

As you can see from the two pictures above,
there really isn't a lot of difference between the two palettes. Both of the
palettes give great pigmentation and go on the lid perfectly, neither crease on
the lid and they both last all day/night.
The only thing I would say the NAKED palette
did better than MUA was the packaging and naming each individual shade. Other
than that I can honestly say once my NAKED palette runs out I will be
repurchasing the MUA palette as a replacement.
If you have been after the Urban Decay NAKED
palette but just simply can't afford it, I would 100% recommend picking
up the MUA Undressed for just £4.
Big thumbs up for MUA and their amazing work in
providing a low cost dupe of the NAKED palette.
See you all soon.

You should, it really isn't that far off the NAKED palette and it is definitely worth £4! Let me know what you think if you get it! Thanks for following! x
DeleteI love comparisons posts! I agree there isn't a lot of difference in the two palettes as far as quality. However, as far as price the MUA palette is a steal!
