Unzipped vs. Naked 3

Both palettes have rose gold tones and the shades look very similar in the pan, which is why I held off buying the Unzipped palette by Lorac for awhile. 

However, I’ve found that the colors in the Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay tend to be a bit deeper than the shadows in the Unzipped palette, so for me and my skin tone the Unzipped palette has less of a possibility to look like I have a lot of redness around my eyes. When I use the Naked 3 it’s best if I wear a black eyeliner (a deep purple also works, but not as well) and it has to be a liner that will not fade throughout the day. I typically use a liquid liner with this one, which I prefer not to wear on weekdays. 

I also think that the Unzipped palette is more pigmented and I have to work less with it to get a variation of color. This makes it better for every day use and if I want a rose-gold look on a workday, I’ll reach for the Unzipped palette over the Naked 3 for this reason.

While I like the Naked 3 palette and really enjoyed it when it was first released, I was one of those who was a little disappointed in it because it wasn’t what I was expecting it to be. The Unzipped palette is what I expected when I first heard about the Naked 3, so if you were also a little disappointed in it, you might want to stop by a store to check out the Unzipped palette. It might be what you were looking for!

Note: I purchased all of the products listed in this post.
