W7 is a brand I was unfamiliar with, until I bought my first eyeshadow palette from them whilst I was on a little shopping trip in Amsterdam. I had heard so many amazing things about the quality of the shadows and it’s supposed to be an exact dupe for Urban Decay Naked 2. Being a Naked-palette lover, I had to pick this one up and see if this really is a dupe for myself.
Starting off with the packaging, I can already see the similarity. The colors used for the packaging are pretty much the same, as is the material. They’re both made out of tin material. UD Naked 2 is a bit heavier and smaller but they both come with one dual-sided brush. UD Naked 2 has a big mirror inside, which W7 In The Buff doesn’t have. As far as packaging goes, I really like it. I still prefer the UD one, but this isn’t bad at all!
Some shadows swatched better than others. Especially Chocoloate (5th shade) was a pain in the butt to swatch. But overall, the pigmentation was relatively good. The darker shades did perform a little bit better than the lighter ones though. I didn’t experience any fall-out during application, which can happen with the UD shadows. I did have to build up most of the colors, but they did blend nicely together.
The shadows match the UD ones perfectly but I still prefer the quality of UD 🙂
If you’re on the market for dupes of the Urban Decay Naked palettes, I would definitely check this one out! If I didn’t own the UD one, I think I would have loved this palette a little bit more, but since I’m already used to the amazingness of UD, I wasn’t really that impressed by it. But that doesn’t mean it’s no good or that I hate it, on the contrary!

| UD Naked 2 / W7 In The Buff |
Although the shadows didn’t perform as nicely as UD shadows do, this is a pretty good dupe! The pigmentation is pretty amazing and the colors look very similar. Even the packaging is definitely inspired by UD. I bought my palette at DA in the Netherlands for about €7,50 (can’t remember the exact price but it was something like that) and for that you get 15,6g.
Mooi palette!
Heel mooi palette, heb hem zelf ook! ♥
Mooi palette! Heb er al aan zitte denke om het me ook te bestellen..
Deze vind ik erg mooi en gebruik hem best wel vaak x
Supermooi palette! Ik vind het jammer dat W7 niet gemakkelijk in België te verkrijgen is! Ik hoorde al zoveel goeds over dit budgetmerk!
Het palette lijkt inderdaad enorm hard op het Naked 2 palette! Ik heb zelf al het Naked 2 palette, dus ik denk wel niet dat ik het W7 palette nog zou aanschaffen 🙂 Een beauty blogger moet dit natuurlijk wel kunnen testen! Mooie look heb je gemaakt!
