Maybelline The Nudes Palette Review

I think this is good if you're not looking to do really intense makeup but still a night time look. The colors aren't super pigmented but you can still work them into a nice smokey eye that's more subtle. I was a little disappointed at first that they weren't as intense as I was expecting but found this pallet really helpful for practicing new looks as It was harder to mess up the darker colours since I had to build them up.

I picked this pallet up from my local countdown when it was on sale. There are seven shimmer shades and 5 matte shades. You also get a double ended sponge applicator. I like the variety of shades, from a shimmery white to a matte black with nice taupes,browns and bronzes. I feel like you can do a tonne of looks with this pallet alone. The shadows are nice, not overly pigmented but this makes it perfect for beginners such as myself. There is some fall out (which I guess is to be expected) and they blend quiet easily. I would defiantly recommend this product for newbies, and am considering getting the other nude pallets in this line.

I bought this palette after lusting after it for MONTHS, and I only finally bought it because it was on sale!

I had SUCH high hopes for this palette, its got such gorgeous colours in it, and its beautiful!

Unfortunately, when I went to use it, the pigmentation left me so disappointed and let down. There is no power behind any of the shades, to the point where you can't tell you've put anything on, and there's SO MUCH FALL OUT!

If I could go back in time and not buy this palette, I would.

Im not sure about this palette, I am drawn to some of the shades they are really pretty in the pan and it had so much hype when it landed here in NZ but the colour pay off is just not there for me. I find the shades really hard to get from pan to brush a few are really chalky or really under pigmented. BUT when i use my finger to apply the shades the payoff is a little better. I want to like it but its just not doing it for me.

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.

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.
