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.

 The pigmentation of both the nude matte shades, numbered 3 & shade number 5 is pretty weak and though these shades are perfect for blending out my crease,I cant get much use out of them. Comparatively I've found pigmentation of Sleek makeup's iDivine palettes have much better quality matte shadows.

Starting from left to right shade numbers 1 to 6

The bottom row of shadows perform much better and being deeper hues these do tend to wear for longer duration on my lids

I use MUA Undreesed palette pretty much daily for work wear.When I do my make-up during the rush hour without a base or a primer,the shadows wear for about 5-6 hours,these don't crease or cause any fall out.I notice gradual fading and after 5-6 hours the MUA Undressed shadows get swallowed whole by my uber oily lids.
Now on the good days when I have time and apply eyeshadow as it would behoove a beauty blogger and I apply primer and a base, these babies hold up to 9 hours with minor fading.

Starting from left to right-shade numbers 7 to 12
