MUA Undress Me Too Palette | Review & Swatches

Undress Me Too Palette - £4.00 (Link here)

Hello Ladies! Being a fan of a brown smokey eye for my everyday make up, I was so excited for MUA to launch their new palette, 'Undress Me Too'. I already own the infamous 'Undressed' palette, and this one is the follow up to it, but with new packaging and an introductory price. Just like the original being a Naked dupe, this is an amazing dupe for the Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay, and I thought I'd buy this to try out the shades before I splurge on the Naked 2 palette. Something fellow MUA fans may notice is the difference in packaging. Instead of the classic glossy black plastic casing, it's now matte white with a reflective logo on the front. I personally prefer this to the original, as it's nice and refreshing and something you can easily find in your make-up stash. I could hardly resist the mere £4 price tag either, it's every bloggers dream to find a good bargain. Something else which left me jumping for joy was the fact MUA have named their shades this time round, which makes it so much easier when naming colours and picking them out. Well done MUA! 



The pans themselves are arranged in colour order, from a pale matte champagne to a deep off-black matte. I love the arrangement of this palette. It makes it alot easier to make a colour choice and I personally think these all work together really well. Something I won't be using in this palette is the applicator. It's nothing against MUA but I'm happy using my Real Techniques shading brush to pat in the pigments and my Avon smudge brush to blend.

Naked - A matte pale champagne nude
Devotion - A shimmer medium toned gold beige
Shy - A pink toned nude matte
Fiery - A shimmer copper with pink undertones
Lavish - A matte chocolate brown
Dreamy - A shimmer deep brown with 
Tranquil - A shimmer alternative to 'Lavish'
Exposed - A shimmer grey, off silver
Reveal - An off pik pearl shade, perfect for highlighting
Wink - A shimmer off gold brown
Obsessed- Dark chocolate brown with hints of shimmer 
Corrupt - Dark matte black

Sorry about my tangerine coloured arms! The setting on my camera makes me look really orange!

Something which impresses me every time with MUA is the product quality. All of them are unbelievably pigmented (apart from 'Naked' and 'Lavish') and the staying power is definitely above average. I use the MUA Pro Base primer on my eyelids everyday, so this may have something to do with it as I've noticed products from the same line have a way of complimenting eachother. I don't find that they crease or drop onto the skin, but admittedly you may need a few swipes for your desired colour pay off. Overall I am beyond impressed with this new addition to MUA. At such a small price tag I can definitely see it as a staple essential in my make up bag and I'm excited to see new product being launched soon. I've planned to do a post comparing the MUA Undressed palette and the Urban Decay Naked palette soon, so keep your eyes peeled! Have you tried the Undress Me Too palette?
