MUA Undressed Eyeshadow Palette Review, Swatches, EOTD

Urban Decay Naked Palette has been making waves for the past couple of years ever since its release but it comes with a rather hefty price tag. For those of us who balk at paying £ 36 a pop, Make Up Academy has a pocket friendly alternative - Undressed - for only £ 4!


Name: Make Up Academy Undressed Eyeshadow Palette
Price: £ 4 for 9.6 g
Developed in: the UK
Manufactured in: PRC

It is housed in a plastic compact and has the exact same dimensions as a Sleek Makeup palette. It would be nice if it came with a mirror and if the compact had more heft.


This palette will be great for travelling. It doesn't take up much space and is jam packed with all the colours that you will ever need (that is if you are a neutral lover).


These shadows are smooth, soft and easily blendable. Shades 2 and 4 feel a little gritty due to the the amount of sparkles. The pigmentation is excellent across the board with the exception of Shades 3 and 5. They are sheerer comparatively.


The texture is a little lacking in the bottom rung - they are drier to the touch and aren't as buttery or creamy as the ones on top. Colour payoff however, is exceptional.


These shadows stay on my oily lids all day with minimal creasing along the inner corners. I do use an eyelid primer underneath otherwise they will fade off within hours.


In the UK, MUA products are found in selected Superdrug stores. Us international customers will have to rely on muastore.co.uk to get our fix.
