Hey guys! Today I have a review for you. A review on the 'The Nudes' palette by Maybelline New York. It's a palette I purchased about a month and a half ago, and I have been using it pretty much every day ever since. Now I am a huge fan of gold/brown smokey eyes, and to be honest I only ever really wear nude, golds and browns on my eyes just because they are the colours that suit me the best. I could never pull off a blue or purple eye shadow, EVER. Even silvery toned eyes shadows I am not a big fan of on me. It must be my ginger hair!
This palette has a great mix of mattes and shimmery eye shadows, 6 matte and 6 shimmery ones. Which I think is perfect for a palette. To be fair, I am much more of a shimmery eye person, I don't often tend to use the matte ones but on some occasions when I am in a bit of a rush or just want a plain eye then I will use them. You can also mix and match them both. On the back of the palette there's 8 different 'tutorials' using theses eye shadows, showing you which ones to use together to create a lovely looking eye either with 4 eye shadows, 3 or 2. Which I think is pretty cool, especially if you are starting off with make up.
There are some lovely taupe shades, some gorgeous browns and gold and a little matte black to end the palette. As I said, the range of colours is amazing and such a perfect nude palette. It's the perfect size to carry around in your make up bag, it's quite small to be honest. It will also save carrying around 4/5 different eye shadows in your bag.
The pigmentation of the eye shadows, is quite good, not amazing so I would definitely recommend using an eye shadow base or primer, like I do, as it will bring out the colour so much more and will make it last a lot longer than without one. I bought mine over here in France for around 13 euros, and I checked on the Boots website and you can pick it up there for £9.99, but it's currently on offer on their website for £7.99, which I think is a really good price for a 12 eye shadow palette that has gorgeous shades in it.
All in all, I really do love this palette and it is perfect for my every day make up.
I love the look of this palette so much, it looks really versatile! Definitely tempted to pick one up for myself.

ReplyDeleteI always see this palette in teh store and think about getting it, but somehow I never did! Maybelline usually makes great eyesdhadows and I love gold eyeshadows.
