5 Dupes for Urban Decay's Naked Line

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.

Dupe Alert: Urban Decay Deep End

Each swatch is two swipes with my index finger.

A few weeks ago I picked up the Neo Perle eyeshadow journal set by Profusion. I purchased two of these from Ulta for $2.99 each. Each journal includes 15 eyeshadows in a cute book with a magnetic closure. They also have different color themes depending on which one you buy. In the journal with the blue sparkly color I found what I think is a pretty close dupe to Urban Decay's Deep End.

I recieved the Urban Decay LE Fun pallet a couple years ago for Christmas, though I've only really used the two nuetral colors included (Stray Dog and Sellout) up until recently. I'm sure these eyeshadows are going to last me forever, but when I do run out I've found an amazing replacement for my favorite color.



Without a side by side comparison, Deep End and the Neo Perle color look almost exactly the same color. However, when placed next to each other you can totally see the small difference. Deep End has a bit more luster than its dupe. When applied there's the same type of difference. Both colors have a satin finish, but Deep End seems to be less changed in color by the shimmer than the Profusion shadow.

In the end, I would absolutely recommend the Profusion pallet, For 3 buck you get 15 shadows with impeccable quality for their price. Their application very much reminds me of Urban Decay, with very few powdery colors.
