Review: MUA Undress Me Too Palette

Hi guys :D
It's time for another review!

This time, it's going to be about the MUA Undress Me Too Palette!

MUA Undress Me Too

I received this palette as a giveaway prize from Ka Sheila and I was really stoked. I used to have the Undressed Palette too, but I decided to sell it to my friend because I figured that I wouldn't use it. I originally wanted that one because I didn't want to buy the Naked palette.

Anyway, talking about this palette...I know I have the Naked 2, but I still didn't want to use that. When I won this, I decided to use this instead lol.

If you want an in-depth review, with product and price breakdowns, feel free to read them on my other review of the MUA Heaven and Earth Palette.

Back of palette.
What changed compared to the Heaven and Earth is the inclusion of shade names. This was in the Undressed Palette too, although with no individual names (just shade 1, shade 2, etc.) They also include a mini master class which can be helpful for beginners. Also, obviously, it's white.

I'm a bit pissed because even with editing, somehow the colours are greyer.
Just imagine the first pic blended with this? lol
Anyway, I'm sort of indifferent to the mattes in this palette. I really prefer the shimmer shades. The two mattes on the first row are okay, mostly for blending. It feels smooth, not at all harsh or hard BUT Corrupt is another story. It's a bit patchy and it feels so rough. Kinda like sandpaper o.o !

Thankfully it doesn't feel like that when used on the eyes.

Standout shades for me are Devotion, Fiery and Exposed. I like Obsessed but it applies lighter than how it looks in the pan. 

Here are the swatches. All shimmer shades are swatched once, the mattes are swatched 2-3 times.

Swatches of the top row.
L: Without Flash
R: With Flash
Corrupt really reminds me of Sleek's Au Naturel's 'Noir'. The texture is the same, but Corrupt is a lot darker.


Swatches of the bottom row.
Honestly I think I prefer my Heaven and Earth, but I do like using this palette.
I use it a lot more recently, and I like to use Devotion or Fiery, and darken the outer-v with Obsessed.

These shadows were also easy to blend, can be used easily with a sponge-tip applicator and non-synthetic brushes. They apply without primer quite vibrantly, however, it fades in 2 hours and creases a bit. So definitely wear a primer with it!

How does it compared to Naked 2?
I don't know.

Not yet.
I'm tempted to take out my Naked 2, still tempted, but haven't done it.

Overall, I think it's a good palette.

PROS:

- Affordable.
- The shades are wearable and pigmented.
- Compliments most skintones.
- A good neutral palette.
- Applies vibrantly without primer, should work well on dry eyelids.
- Travel-friendly.

CONS:

- Not easily available locally.
- No mirror (for me it's not a problem, but for some people it is)
- Packaging is kinda cheap.
- The matte shades are so sheer and the matte black is like sandpaper.
- Fades easily and prone to creasing on oily lids.


Rating: 4/5 (slightly lower compared to the other palette)

Will I buy this again? 

No, just because I have Naked 2.

Do I recommend this?

It's okay to have in your collection, but if you already have the Urban Decay one, maybe you shouldn't buy this. I think it's quite travel-friendly though and I do like it for that. There is a new dupe from Coastal Scents that you might just like though! It's called the Revealed Palette.

Where can you buy this?

You can buy palettes like these at MUA's website.
They ship internationally.

Hope you found this helpful!
I'm trying my best to show good swatches, I hope it looks okay.

'til then take care!

  1. Is it just me or the palette looks vaguely familiar to the Naked 2? Comprehensive review of the palette overall though!

    1. It's the MUA dupe of the Naked 2 actually! They also duped the Naked palette.

      I think there are slight differences though I believe. I really need to use my N2 don't I...?

    2. Hahaha! It's okay. I under-use my Naked 2 palette too... I only use three shades religiously.
