So today I picked up the makeup revolution palette iconic 2, and I couldn't help but realise how similar it was to the Naked palette 2. I did a overview and little review of all the naked palettes here if you like to take a look. Anyone who knows anything about make-up has heard of the naked palettes, they contain some amazing neutral tones and are so high pigmented, the only down side is the price tag, £38 each. So this palette is a great affordable alternative, and they do dupes of all three for only £4 each.
The revolution palette comes in a simple black case with a huge window on the front to see all the colours. It has a strong clasp holding it together.
Ingredients;
Mica- is a phyllosilicate mineral, by mixing or covering this product with other chemicals/ materials it can reflect any colour of the rainbow. Also adding different sizes of this product can change the effect from a smooth matte to a shimmery effect. The shimmer in eye shadow often comes from mica.
Talc- is used in loads of cosmetics from baby powder to blush. it may be used to absorb moisture, to prevent caking, to make facial makeup opaque, or to improve the feel of a product.
Magnesium stearate- Is mainly used for lubricating properties. They also help to keep emulsions from separating into their oil and liquid components. It also reduces the clear or transparent appearance of finished products.
Paraffinum Liquidum- 100% mineral oil, It has large molecules which are unable to penetrate the surface of the skin, therefore it acts a non-absorbent oily film, said to 'lock in moisture'.
Ethylhexyl Palmitate-The Palmitate ingredients act as lubricants on the skin's surface, which gives the skin a soft and smooth appearance.
Polybutene- is used primarily in lipsticks and balms, as a binder, epilating agent, thickener and lubricant.
Dimethicone- is widely used in beauty products, its a man-made product created in a lab. It makes products easily spreadable. Dimethicone also helps form a protective barrier on the skin, and can fill in the fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
Methylparaben- is an antifungal and preservative.
Propylparaben- is a fine crystalline powder, is used to control the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds.

I can't believe how similar the colours are. The only one I was disappointed in was the 'foxy' dupe, the colour doesn't come out on my skin. There is a bit of fallout with the revolution shadows when applying. To prevent this from ruining the rest of your make-up simply apply a think layer of powder underneath your eyes before doing your eye shadow. Any fallout you can simply wipe away.
The Naked palette shadows are more 'creamy' and soft compared to the revolution ones, and slightly more high pigmented, but not that much especially considering the price difference. On a few colours of the revolution palette you have to build. I would definitely recommend this to anyone as a cheaper alternative to the Naked palette.
