MUA- Undress Me Too Palette Review

Hello ladies, I can't believe how quick this week has gone! I thought I'd squeeze in a quick review before the week is up!

A few months ago I popped into my local Superdrug to pick up some make up wipes, as I was walking to the other end of the shop I noticed the MUA stand. I used to be quite a big MUA fan, their primers and concealers are what first peaked my interest into the brand but to me sometimes their products are a bit hit and miss!


Anyway, I remember hearing about their new palette, which is apparently a dupe of the Naked 2 palette and decided to see what all the fuss was about! Like all MUA products the packaging was very simple and clean looking, unlike their other palettes this one came in white which I prefer as in my opinion it looks more appealing and expensive. There are 12 shades in this palette with a variety of nudes, golds and shades of medium and dark browns, the shades are mainly shimmery with just a couple of mattes (Naked and Lavish). On the back of the packaging the shades are named and these are; Naked, Devotion, Shy, Fiery, Lavish, Dreamy, Tranquil, Exposed, Reveal, Wink, Obsessed and Corrupt. In some ways I felt that by naming the shades MUA were trying too hard to be like the more expensive brands and this put me off a little bit.

Now it was really difficult for me to swatch these shades as the top layer were made up of mainly nudes and golds, the gold shades were very pigmented, but the nudes were a little too natural and it was hard to see them on my skin! The nudes would be the perfect base and highlighter if you were going to create a smokey eye or even just a natural look as opposed to wearing the nudes on their own. Half way through taking photos the heavens opened and we had a thunder storm for about an hour, so I apologise for the crappy lighting!

The bottom layer is mainly made up of darker shades with a black eyeshadow on the end, this shade was very disappointing as it was incredibly difficult to apply to the skin and I had to layer it up 4 or 5 times before you could even see it !

For £4 it's a good bargain, you could create a variety of different looks with this palette without breaking the bank, but with only two matte shades I was a little disappointed as from previous experience the matte shades don't last as long compared to the others. But at the end of the day you pay for what you get, so if you wanted more pigmented colours that last longer than this palette is definitely not for you.

Have you tried any MUA palettes before or do you opt for more expensive brands such as Urban Decay or Thebalm?
