Here's my problem with the Naked line. It's dupable. So so easily dupable. Almost every single cosmetic company has a version of the Urban Decay product you may have your eye on. This makes me sad because rather than taking the next logical step and moving on to something that you aren't seeing everywhere, Urban Decay seemed to spend their whole 2014 year promoting this line, and as 2015 rolls in that trend has continued with an even larger expansion on the Naked line. We get it, we're supposed to try to fool people into thinking that your cheeks are that perfect shade of coral, your cheek bones sparkle, and your eyelids are perfectly rose gold. Absolutely naked face. No one is fooled but still...
So please, I'm praying that in 2015 we'll be moving on, and there'll be more exciting and inspiring products to come. Below are 5 dupes to popular products that further prove the "Naked" craze needs to find it's way out (in my opinion). Leave the neutrals to basically just about everyone else, Urban Decay.
5. Urban Decay Naked/Too Faced Chocolate Bar
4. Urban Decay Naked 2/Too Faced Natural Eyes
3. Urban Decay Naked 3/Lorac Unzipped
2. Urban Decay Naked Flushed/Sleek Makeup Face Form
1. Urban Decay Naked Skin Liquid Foundation/L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation

I can't believe how high they have raised the prices on the Naked palettes! When I first got the Naked 2, it was $48! Totally not worth it to me anymore. That Loreal foundation is my fav and I've heard from other people that it's a dupe too so I'll probably never try naked skin. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your imput! I had no idea that the prices have raised on the palettes and I really have to wonder why. You would think that with the popularity they'd actually be able to lower the prices. I haven't tried the foundation (though I do have a sample of the naked skin that is three shades too dark), but I doubt I'll try the Naked skin as Almost every other high end foundation (with a few exceptions) is less expensive and there are some better drugstore options as well.
