LORACUnzipped Eyeshadow Palette, Matte And Glitter Finish

The Lorac Unzipped palette is in the same rose-gold color family as the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, so I am structuring this review as a comparison of the two palettes. After all, many of you may be wondering how the two palettes compare. I have a bit of a makeup problem, I admit it. So, I actually own both Naked 3 and Unzipped. I first bought Naked 3 but I was still temped by this palette after seeing it in action on various YouTube channels.The Lorac Unzipped palette includes 10 buttery, high quality shadows:Undercover is a pinky cream color. It is a great highlight shade, similar to Strange in the Naked 3 palette.Unbelievable is a rose gold shimmer. It applies very smoothly.Unattainable is a shimmer that is a bronzey rose gold color.Unconditional is a purpley-brownish mauve matte (a cross between Nooner and Limit from Naked 3)Unbridled is a brown matte with a hint of purple.Undiscovered is a gold shimmer.Unreal is a pink shimmer. It is the sister of "Dust" in the Naked 3 palette, but far better formualted and less glittery.Uncensored is a bronze shimmer.Unspoken is a burgundy-toned brown matte.Untamed is a deeper red-brown shimmer.Here is a comparison of the two palettes:- LORAC Unzipped comes with 10 shadows and Naked 3 has 12. Each Naked 3 shadow is full sized. These shadows also seem to be full sized - they are substantially larger than the shadows in the Lorac Pro palette.- This palette is $40 compared to $52 for Naked 3. For the extra $12 you get a brush with Naked 3 and 2 more shadows. But, the brush isn't that good. I don't use it. This palette comes with eyeshadow primer (good sized sample that is great for travel, compared to the mini samples from Naked 3 - also the Lorac Behind the Scenes primer is superior to Urban Decay Primer Potion in my opinion)- Naked 3 has 3 mattes, this palette has 4 mattes. Naked 3 has 3 glittery shades - Dust, Buzz and Trick. Trick and Dust are hard to work with. I find that they apply best with my Elf Set and Mist spray (a dupe for Mac Fix+).- Packaging on Naked 3 seems sturdier. Naked 3 has the metal pencil box packaging. This one is cardboard.- Lorac Unzipped palette lacks a super deep shade like Blackheart.- Naked 3 has some taupier shades (e.g., Mugshot and Liar). Overall, I think Naked 3 is cooler toned, Lorac Unzipped is warmer toned.Overall, I think these palettes are different enough that you can own both. However, the color families are similar. I do love both palettes but the eyeshadows in Lorac Unzipped are better quality. Overall, the shadows area easier to work with, there is far less fall out. There are literally NO FINICKY SHADES in Lorac Unzipped, whereas with Naked 3, there is 1 shade that I cannot use without wetting my brush with MAC Fix+. Every single shadow in the Unzipped palette applies beautifully and blends beautifully. If I had to pick one, it would be Lorac Unzipped, but I do like both. If you have to pick one:- If you do not like glitter: pick Lorac Unzipped- If you are cooler toned: Naked 3 may be the better option- If you prefer smokier looks: Naked 3 is better due to Blackheart and Darkside, which are both deeper than the deepest shades in Lorac Unzipped.- If you prefer mattes, Lorac Unzipped has the edge due to 4 mattes v. 3 mattes.- If you prefer more purple tones, I think Naked 3 has the edge.- If you prefer browner tones, Lorac Unzipped is somewhat browner with burgundy as well.

I am a professional makeup artist that used to do runway for major couture brands, but now does mostly wedding and editorial work. I was looking for golds and bronzes to use on my brides that had a metallic sheen and not a sparkle or glitter reflectivity. I knew that Lorac eyeshadows were highly pigmented, incredibly blendable, long-wearing, and crease-resistant. I was not sure of how they would reflect in-person and on camera. I was thrilled to find that they do in fact, have a high metallic luminosity without detectable particles. The colors are beautifully curated for those that want more earth-toned or "natural" colors and also enhance the blue of my client's eyes and were a sophisticated and elegant enough finish to use on a bride-- brightening the eye and making them look happy and confident and yet romantic. I love that I don't have to search through multiple palettes or wrack my brain to complete the look that I am going for. I also love that loading the metallic colors onto a brush and then lightly dampening the brush further enhances the glow for those instances I may need that. It is very versatile going from subtle to dramatic. Great for beginners and pros alike.

I absolutely love this palette. The shimmers aren't too shimmer-y for me. From using mostly matte eyeshadows, I love the color selection. Great neutral tones that work well with green eyes. I would definitely purchase this palette again. Don't know why the eye primer was included because these shades work well and last a long time when applied without primer. I tried the primer with other eyeshadows, and I didn't like it. It actually felt like something was "stuck" on my eyelids all day. Without primer, these colors are absolutely stunning. The primer made me think that they wouldn't last long on their own, but they do last all day!

Easy colors to build from light to darker shade depending on how much you use and how much blending you do. Definitely would buy from this brand of eyeshadow again.

I like this. The colours are nice. But I would have liked more matte and less glitter colours. Like maybe 8 matte and 2 glitter. It would be more versatile that way.

Un vero peccato perché i colori sembravano molto belli. La palette ha degli ombretti incredibilmente farinosi, anche scrollando il pennello L’’ombretti finisce su tutto il viso e durante l’applicazione addirittura negli occhi. Inoltre durante la sfumatura i colori sia chiaro che scuri spariscono. Non capisco come hanno fatto a tirare fuori una formula così pessima.

La paleta esta preciosa, excelente calidad como todo lo de Lorac.

Superó mis expectativas. Calidad, durabilidad, fijación. . Sin lugar a dudad lo volvere a comprar

Muy linda
