This particular post is long overdue and I probably should've made it sooner because there are a lot of fake products out there that made from GOD knows what and it could be a potential threat to our health. I only bought one fake from a local seller and there are also fakes for Naked 1 and Naked 2. There are other types of Urban Decay and Naked fakes out there but for this post purposes I only make a comparison between the Authentic one that I own and the Fake one that I bought.

| Top: Real ~ Bottom: Fake |
Front Box
The top one is real and the bottom one is fake. I got the real one from winning an International Giveaway (YAYY!!) and I got the fake one from local online shop for only IDR 35,000 (about USD 2,6)!!! I mean the real Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette retail price is USD 54 (from their web) or about IDR 729,000!! From the price alone surely you'll know that there's something wrong right?!?!
The real UD Naked 3 has bigger box because there's a small Eyeshadow Primer sample bonus inside (IDK if there are one sold without the primer bonus or not) and the box color is also different. The lettering design is very similar though.

Back Box
Both real and fake one a description one the back and they are pretty much the same from word to word and the only difference is the graphic on each box.

| Top: Real ~ Bottom: Fake |
Side Box
The real one has a detailed ingredients list on the side while the fake one only has a description on where the product is made and assemble which probably not true anyway.

Front Palette
Both palettes has a very similar design and lettering, the size is also pretty much the same. If I didn't own a real UD Naked 3 I probably won't know the difference. The only difference is only the color, the real one is rose gold and the fake one is bronze? Ggah I'm bad at describing this.... I upload it once on my IG and most people answer that the bottom one is the fake on.

Side Palette
The real one has a brighter font and the fake one isn't very prominent.

Back Palette
Aside from the color both is pretty much the same and the only difference is the real one has a serial number (IDK if it's a serial number or not though) printed on the back and the fake one doesn't.

Brushes
Both palettes comes with a double ended eye brush. IDK about the other brushes that comes with an Urban Decay Naked Palette but the fake one comes in a dual fiber type brushes and the brush is surprisingly quite soft.

Color
If you already know how UD Naked 3 color range is suppose to look like then you'll notice that the fake has a very different color from the real one. Even if you don't own one you can look the color on their website and it's really different.

Swatches
The real one has rose-hued neutrals color range from pale, shimmery pink to deep black matte while the fake one has a very different range of color.
Aside from the UD Naked 1, 2 and 3 I've also seen until Naked 5 Palette even though from there's no Naked 4 and 5 in Urban Decay Official Site. Not only Fake Naked Palettes there are other fake "Naked" products out there like Naked Mascara, Naked Lipstick and Naked Eyeliner.
Here's some tips from me:
- If it's too good to be true then it really is to good to be true!! Even if it's preloved I don't think there will be an Authentic Urban Decay Naked Palette for only IDR 35,000!!!
- Check Urban Decay Official Site!! If they don't have a Naked 4, 5, 6 or even Naked 12 Palettes then the Naked 9 Palette that you saw is definitely a FAKE!!
- Compare the color and packaging with the Official Site again. For example I saw an online seller selling a "Naked" Mascara, I know there are Urban Decay Mascaras but from their website there are no "Naked" Mascara from their Naked Range so I know that the mascara from that online seller is a fake.
Just a Reminder
I know those fake cosmetics are cheap and tempting but they are made from dubious and I definitely won't risk my health and life to have some sort of "branded" makeup when there are plenty of other affordable makeup out there that is safe.
Buhbye for know......
Add me on your list ^^
35rb for a palette, even local brand is too cheap considering they have 12 colors inside! I dont get how people think, why they bought a fake palette and so..
ReplyDeleteI Know Right!!!
DeleteAt best 35k for local eyeshadow has about 2 or maybe 3 (w/ discount) color inside.
Great Comparison.
ReplyDeleteThe blue/aqua shade in the fake is kind of nice! I wouldn't risk using it though.
Yes the fakes are quite pigmented but I also wouldn't risk it
DeleteI have seen two versions of the "Naked 4", one that has 24 shades, and the other has the exact same names as the Naked 3, this thing is getting out of control, but what worries me the most is that people do get cheated by them.

Naked Palette with 24 shades?!?!?
DeleteFake nya ada berbagai macam nih, aku pernah lihat yg fake naked 3 bedanya cuman 2 warna gitu dari yang asli >___<
ReplyDeleteIya bukan cuma palet aja, tapi dari lipstick, eyeliner dan maskara naked pelsong juga ada
DeletePackaging wise looks almost the same, but the colors are just way off, (thankfully), making it noticeable for those who are new to the makeup world. :)
ReplyDeleteYes the colors are quite different but for people who aren't familiar with Naked or Urban Decay they might buy these fake cosmetics
DeleteDaripada beli fake mending cari dupenya tapi yang brandnya diakui ya kak Sekar. Ada apa-apa sama kulit malah keluar biaya berkali-kali lipat >_<
