The Lorac Unzipped palette is in the same rose-gold color family as the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, so I am structuring this review as a comparison of the two palettes. After all, many of you may be wondering how the two palettes compare. I have a bit of a makeup problem, I admit it. So, I actually own both Naked 3 and Unzipped. I first bought Naked 3 but I was still temped by this palette after seeing it in action on various YouTube channels. The Lorac Unzipped palette includes 10 buttery, high quality shadows: Undercover is a pinky cream color. It is a great highlight shade, similar to Strange in the Naked 3 palette. Unbelievable is a rose gold shimmer. It applies very smoothly. Unattainable is a shimmer that is a bronzey rose gold color. Unconditional is a purpley-brownish mauve matte (a cross between Nooner and Limit from Naked 3) Unbridled is a brown matte with a hint of purple. Undiscovered is a gold shimmer. Unreal is a pink shimmer. It is the sister of "Dust" in the Naked 3 palette, but far better formualted and less glittery. Uncensored is a bronze shimmer. Unspoken is a burgundy-toned brown matte. Untamed is a deeper red-brown shimmer. Here is a comparison of the two palettes: - LORAC Unzipped comes with 10 shadows and Naked 3 has 12. Each Naked 3 shadow is full sized. These shadows also seem to be full sized - they are substantially larger than the shadows in the Lorac Pro palette. - This palette is $40 compared to $52 for Naked 3. For the extra $12 you get a brush with Naked 3 and 2 more shadows. But, the brush isn't that good. I don't use it. This palette comes with eyeshadow primer (good sized sample that is great for travel, compared to the mini samples from Naked 3 - also the Lorac Behind the Scenes primer is superior to Urban Decay Primer Potion in my opinion) - Naked 3 has 3 mattes, this palette has 4 mattes. Naked 3 has 3 glittery shades - Dust, Buzz and Trick. Trick and Dust are hard to work with. I find that they apply best with my Elf Set and Mist spray (a dupe for Mac Fix+). - Packaging on Naked 3 seems sturdier. Naked 3 has the metal pencil box packaging. This one is cardboard. - Lorac Unzipped palette lacks a super deep shade like Blackheart. - Naked 3 has some taupier shades (e.g., Mugshot and Liar). Overall, I think Naked 3 is cooler toned, Lorac Unzipped is warmer toned. Overall, I think these palettes are different enough that you can own both. However, the color families are similar. I do love both palettes but the eyeshadows in Lorac Unzipped are better quality. Overall, the shadows area easier to work with, there is far less fall out. There are literally NO FINICKY SHADES in Lorac Unzipped, whereas with Naked 3, there is 1 shade that I cannot use without wetting my brush with MAC Fix+. Every single shadow in the Unzipped palette applies beautifully and blends beautifully. If I had to pick one, it would be Lorac Unzipped, but I do like both. If you have to pick one: - If you do not like glitter: pick Lorac Unzipped - If you are cooler toned: Naked 3 may be the better option - If you prefer smokier looks: Naked 3 is better due to Blackheart and Darkside, which are both deeper than the deepest shades in Lorac Unzipped. - If you prefer mattes, Lorac Unzipped has the edge due to 4 mattes v. 3 mattes. - If you prefer more purple tones, I think Naked 3 has the edge. - If you prefer browner tones, Lorac Unzipped is somewhat browner with burgundy as well.
