As you all know, Urban Decay has come out with 3 Naked palettes known for there neutral shades. The Naked 3 contains 12 neutral rose gold shades that look amazing on nearly every skin tone. I've heard that people with pink undertones have a difficult time sometimes but I can assure you that the looks I've created won't magnify that "pink eye" problem.
THE BASICS:
Naked 3 Palette ($54)
Comes with 12 neutral rose gold shades
-Strange: a matte cream
-Dust: a very chalky glittery pink (use with a wet brush unless you want to be a disco ball)
-Burnout: a satin taupey pink
-Limit: a matte taupey pink, Nooner's lighter sister
-Buzz: a beautiful rose pink shimmer
-Trick: a subtle rose gold with little sparkles
-Nooner: a darker taupey pink, very beautiful matte crease color
-Liar: a taupey pink like Burnout but a tad more pink
-Factory: a shimmery taupe with dark brown
-Mugshot: a silverish taupe
-Darkside: a brownish shimmer
-Blackheart: black with reddish pink glitter, makes it look like a purplish red (my FAV)
It also contains a double-ended shadow and liner brush
Top to Bottom: Blackheart, Darkside, Mugshot, Factory, Liar, Nooner, Trick, Buzz, Limit, Burnout, Dust, and Strange

Hopefully you can see from these unprimed swatches on my arm that these rose gold colours show up quite well even on medium skin tones. My initial thought when I bought this palette was "Oh oh..I'm screwed, I can't wear these shades," but after playing with them I realized just how beautifully they can appear on indian skin despite the pinks being a little shimmery.
I highly recommend this palette for people with the darkest, lightest, and anything in between skin tones because UD did a really amazing job coming up with a palette that contains rose gold neutrals suited for many skin tones. I am in love with this palette.
TUTORIAL on creating this look:
Steps:
I primed my face with ELF lavendar primer and then used Revlon Colorstay's foundation to suit my skin tone. I primed my lids with ELF's eyelid primer.
Take your eyeshadow brush and apply Trick, the gold shade, all over your lid.
Then take your blending brush and apply Limit on your crease, blending it back and forth
Afterwards take your blending brush again and apply Nooner to your crease but try to keep the depth of Nooner towards the outer end
Apply Strange with either your finger or angled brush into your inner eye
And last, take Blackheart on an eyeliner brush and smudge it into your lower lash line
I completed this look by tight lining my upper eye with eyeliner and then adding mascara.
My lips have been outlined with Jordana's lip liner in berry to create a fuller look, I then applied Mac's Mehr, and dabbed on Mac's Ruby Woo on top to create a bit more reddish color
I contoured my face with Anastasia Beverly Hill's Contour kit in light to medium
I also filled in my brows with the Lorac Pro's brown shade of eyeshadow
Tutorial on creating this look:
The foundation and priming steps are the same as the above look
First apply Burnout with an eyeshadow brush all over your lid
Then gently brush Buzz, into the center of your lid to create a pop of glittery pink
Next, take an angled brush and apply Blackheart to your inner and outer eye very carefully, try to slowly brush it upwards towards your crease
Take a blending brush and buff it out to create a smokey allure
Then, take your blending brush again, and using Nooner, blend out your crease
Complete the look by going in once again with Buzz and making sure it's popping out of the black
I ended up lining my lower lash line with UD's Electric Palette's Savage and their 24/7 Perversion liner in black
My lips are lined and filled in with Jordana's lip liner in berry
I really hope you find these looks useful :)
