The pocket friendly UD Naked dupe you've been waiting for!-MUA Undressed palette

Unless you have been living under a Martian rock, you'd know all about the cult of Urban Decay Naked.
This little palette of neutral which has sent countless makeup obsessed gals in a wild frenzy last seen only for the Beatles & Beiber.
UD Naked spawned an entire genre of eyeshadow palettes claiming in various stages of undress and right down to a very cheeky-'Butt-naked palette by NYX'!!

So if you have been pining and lemming for UD Naked for years and cant or wont spend so much on an eyeshadow palette,Makeup Academy a.k.a MUA's (a UK based brand) Undressed palette is the perfect dupe you have been waiting for.

Internet is already littered with comparisons and swatches of both UD & MUA Undressed so I will quickly throw in my 2 cents in. If you have a 'thang'  for neutral eye makeup looks you have to get MUA Undressed palette. At only 4 pounds this is a great investment.It dupes UD Naked's shade for shade, though the pigmentation and colors might be slightly off, but it performs admirably well.

MUA Undressed comes in standard clear plastic top casing with two rows of shadows.The top row is filled with lighter and the bottom row with deeper shades. The palette has 2 matte shadows, one glitter and rest all frost and pearl finishes.
I wont talk about the sponge tipped applicator I chuck these in trash as soon as I get my palettes.
