Chi Chi Nudes vs Urban Decay Naked

Hey Beauties,

A friend and I have recently noticed how similar the Chi Chi Nudes palette is to the Urban Decay Naked palette so we decided to switch them side by side and do a post comparing them both.

I have done a post in the past reviewing the Chi Chi Nudes Palette and you can read about it Here. Its a palette I recommend to any one who cannot afford the Urban Decay Naked. It retails at $24.95 and you can purchase it through Myer or Target.

The swatches shown have got the Chi Chi shadow on the left, and the Urban Decay on the right.
The first image has the real Gunmetal to show how accurate the colours are.

 Gunmetal: (Original) This shade is a dark charcoal grey with shimmers. (Naked) The shadow isn't as pigmented and appears more brown once applied. (Chi Chi) Not as Shimmery and is more of a smokey colour.

Creep: (Naked) A deep metallic dark brown. Appears as a black in box. (Chi Chi) Shows as more of an olive toned brown. (Apologies for crap photo.)

Hustle: (Naked) A Golden Chocolate brown, with a pearl finish. (Chi Chi) Grey toned Chocolate brown, pearl finish.

Toasted: (Naked) A golden syrup/honey type colour, with warm tones, metallic finish. (Chi Chi) A caramel shade, pearl finish. (Again, sorry crap photo)

Darkhorse: (Naked) A pure dark chocolate, with a gold appearance. Pearl finish. (Chi Chi) More of an olive golden brown, pearl finish.

Smog: (Naked) Brown toned Copper. Metallic finish. (Chi Chi) More of a pink toned copper. Metallic finish.

Half Baked: (Naked) Golden caramel, metallic finish. (Chi Chi) Pink toned caramel, metallic finish.

Buck: (Naked) Warmer tanned brown. Matte Finish. (Chi Chi) Basic Tanned Brown. Matte Finish.

Sidecar: (Naked) Pink toned light brown, metallic finish. (Chi Chi) More light brown and less pink toned, metallic finish.

Naked: (Naked) Suntanned colour (Is that even a colour?!) Matte finish. (Chi Chi) Lighter, more flesh toned, matte finish.

Sin: (Naked) Pink Champagne. Nuff said. Pearl finish. (Chi Chi) More creamy, not so pink. Pearl finish.

(Like a) Virgin: (Naked) Nude. Bit lighter than my skintone. Pearl finish. (Chi Chi) Same as Naked. But more shimmerry.

Have you found a difference that we couldn't find? We found it hard just to simply word it!

Keep Smiling,

Chi Chi Nudes Palette Review

Hey Everyone

On days when I just don't know what to wear, I just reach for my handy, dandy Chi Chi Nudes Palette. This palette is simply amazing. It is a 12 eyeshadow palette with everything for an amazing simple or dramatic look. I'd say in my own opinion it is a great Australian dupe for Urban Decay's Naked Palette. It basically has the eyeshadows from that palette in it so it is easily comparable. It's got everything for your day look, and even for a dramatic night look.

The eyeshadows are really pigmented and are not chalky at all. As this was my first purchase by Chi Chi, I was a tad hesitant with it, I thought it wasn't going to be good at all and I was expecting it to be very low quality etc. But since I've purchased this palette, I've been sucked into the Chi Chi curse. There is so much I want to try/buy from Chi Chi now, and I'm always entering their contests to possibly have some of their goodies!

A few other things I'd love from Chi Chi (Just a small list) is Status Lipstick, Classic Palette, Wrapped Around My Pinkie Lipstick and Pink Peach Blush.

What I've decided to do today is to do my first tutorial using this palette. I have created a day time and night time look because thats how wearable this palette is. Just a warning before I start - I know my eyebrows aren't filled. I don't fill them in because they are naturally thick and I've tried to wear them filled before but it just doesn't suit me. And I haven't got my entire face made in this either I only worked on my eyes then took it off because I didn't see the point of putting make-up on my entire face just to take it straight off.

For the day look I started off by using a primer, you don't really need to for the Chi Chi eyeshadows though as they are pigmented on their own. I then added shade #3 all over my lid, following with shade #5 to my crease and into my outer v. Finally finishing off with layering shade #4 over #5 for that extra shine.

For the night look, I have primed my eyes and added shade #8 all over my lid then I added #10 into the crease. You can leave it at this but for a bit more definition you can add #11 into the crease and outer v.

And both looks are complete.


So thats it for this post guys.

I certainly do recommend this palette so go get it!

Until next post, Keep smiling.
