Testing Naked Palette 3 on Medium/Dark Skin Tones
As you've probably seen and heard, there's a big buzz about all three of Urban Decay's Naked palettes. First was Naked, then Naked 2, and recently the Naked 3 was released. Last weekend, I contacted my friend Saraia, to test the
latest palette from Urban Decay. Because I'm a
big fan of many products from the Urban Decay line, I was curious to find out
how the palette could work for medium to dark skinned women. The palette contains some warmer shades and tones that
can work for darker skin without making the skin look ashy.
Here is Sarai before I applied her makeup:
After I airbrushed Saraia’s foundation (see photos below), I proceeded by using
mainly three colors from the palette, and I added a little matte black eye shadow
from a different brand to create a softer day look.
For darker skin tones, it is often necessary to add a little black eye shadow to contour the eyes in order to really see the contrast in the eye shadow colors.
Sarai was happy with the end result, as was I. I finished her look by adding a little blush, some bronzer, and of course some false eyelashes, and
voila!
