Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palette Swatches- Naked 3 Dupe

Yesterday, I posted swatches of the Iconic 2 Palette by Makeup Revolution (a UK based brand) and compared them to Urban Decay's Naked 2 Palette.  The similarities in both quality and shades were striking and so is the price difference! Urban Decay's Naked Palettes are $54, while the Iconic Palettes are $6.60. Shipping from London will cost you $13 for a total of just under $20, for pretty much the same thing it's a really good deal.
Since I didn't want to waste $13 shipping only one item, I also bought the Iconic 3 palette, which is also a dupe for the Naked 3...have a look!


Compared to the Naked 3 palette, the Iconic 3 is shorter, but wider and the shadows are longer and a tiny bit thinner. The Iconic 3 palette has a slimmer, more travel friendly design and is less clunky, while the Naked 3 palette's case is a bit more high-end since it's in a tin rather than a plastic case. This does make it a bit heavier though. The Naked 3 also comes with a double-ended brush that is really high quality, while the Iconic 3 comes with a double sponge-tipped applicator.

 Swatches:
Like yesterday, these are swatched in groups of 4, each Urban Decay shade is next to each corresponding Iconic shade going from left to right.

Naked 3 shades 1-4
Iconic 3 shades 1-4

Left to Right: UD Strange, Iconic #1, UD Dust, Iconic #2, UD Burnout, Iconic #3, UD Limit, Iconic #4.

Naked 3 Shades 5-8
 Iconic Shades 5-8

Left to right: UD Buzz, Iconic #5, UD Trick, Iconic #6, UD Nooner, Iconic #7, UD Liar, Iconic #8.

Naked 3 Shades 9-12

 Iconic Shades 9-12

Left to right: UD Factory, Iconic #9, UD Mugshot, Iconic #10, UD Darkside, Iconic #11, UD Blackheart, Iconic #12.

So what do you think? While the shades aren't all exact, they are so close and the pigmentation and quality is outstanding for a $6.60 palette. I can't wait to try other products from Makeup Revolution, and I can only hope that they open up a US shop soon so we can save on all that shipping!

You can buy the Iconic 3 HERE.
