Maybelline The Nudes Palette Review

I recived this palette for my birthday a couple of weeks ago and i am in love.

I feel like this is the perfect palette to slip into a handbag for everyday use, It is sturdy so isnt going to bust open and make a mess in your bag, I also love the handy tips of colour choice/placement on the back (great for people starting out).

The colours are great and could be easily used for a natural look during the day or can be switched up for a dark smokey brown look for a night out so its perfect for any unexpected work drinks and just watch to freshen up your look.

My only compliant would be no mirror which is a bit of a pain but hey... its a small complaint to the scale of things.

Overall i love this palette and am so glad i received it for my birthday.

Ive never been into buying palettes because they are always too big to go in my day make up bag, so when I buy them I don't use them. But this one is different. I bought this; one because i'm a real lover of Maybelline; and two the raging reviews on BR! I thought it was a great price point for when you get and there is so much guidance on how to use it out there I've used it for almost everything and in many different ways. The size is perfect, it fits right in my make up bag so comes everywhere with me which means I use it every day! The colours are perfect for, I have blue eyes and blonde hair so I already knew these are the shades for me, and the shadow is very pigmented so a little goes a long way too. I would have loved it if it came with a built in mirror but you cant have everything!

Was stoked to get this from the warehouse on special for $22.. I love MOST of the colours in this, however, I found that the matte shades are not really pigmented which is a shame as the metallics and darker crease colours are Awesome! So not sure how to "score" it.. I still use it by far more than any of my other palettes as I love the gold and bronze look..

My Aunt sent this from America before it came to NZ, I like the different amount of colours, I tend to go online and look at all the tutorials of different ways to use the Nude Palette.

The first "Nudes" palette that Maybelline put out, they also have blushed, smokey and rockstar "Nudes" and a brights palette, not all released here which could be a good thing. The black packaging of this palette is nicely laid out but It would have been nice to have a mirror in this. It has a double sided sponge applicator with one end smaller than the other. It is smaller than some other palettes out there.

There is only 1 colour in the palette that I could suggest that you use as a highlighter. The shadows show up great in the pan but some transfer better to the lid than others if you don't prime, don't forget to prime it is the best way to get the most out of this palette. The colours are blendable with a little work. I have used some of the colours wet and dry with no problems. It is well milled with a good mix of colours.

If you are looking for a matte palette, put this palette down, there are no metallic colours here but there is sparkles in half the palette, if you don't mind the mix you can pick it back up. It does give ideas on colour mixes on the back of the palette but this is only a suggestion so go crazy with your mixes. I am on the fence about repurchase as it is good for a weekend away so you don't bring the whole make up collection.

I loved this palette when I first got it. But as time went on, I realised the product isn't pigmented very well in the lighter colours, you have to the colour up.

I loved the range of colours in this palette, but the darker shades are actually darker then they look in the palette? Its weird. Its still a great product for those who don't want to splurge on a more pricey eyeshadow palette!

I'm on the fence with this product. I think thrmatte shades are lacking pigment. It's in nice packaging, but I prefer to use matte eye shadow and this just doesn't do it for me. It's good as a back up.

As someone who generally only buys very bright and colourful pallets, this one is a nice one to have for basic, neutral nude colours. The colours blend really well for me even though I have cheap Kmart brushes. The issue I have is that the pale colours are lacking in pigment, though the dark colours are decently pigmented (however I am very disappointed with the black), overall I think the pallet is has nice colours and is good for it's price but could definitely up the pigment.
