COMPARISONS
I was asked about the LORAC palette being compared with Urban Decay Naked and Naked 2 palette and here's the comparison. First of all I must mention that there are hardly any mattes in the Urban Decay palettes and they stick to a certain theme of major warm colors or cooler colors so its can be a bit dicey to find dupes. But lets see....

- White - Foxy (creamy with some yellow) - None
- Cream - Foxy - None
- Taupe - None - Naked (light)/Buck (dark)
- Lt. Pink - None - None
- Mauve - Tease (similar) - None
- Sable - None - None
- Espresso - None - None
