An Amazing Nudes Palette

The palette comes in a sleek packaging not too big and bulky. It comes with a sponge tip applicator which is good for smudging.

There are 12 shades in this palette. It is a versatile nude palette for everyday and smoky looks. I was pretty happy with the variety of shades that come in this palette.

The back of the palette breaks down the shades into quads, trios, and duos. It pairs up four shades, three shades, and two shades to create different makeup looks.The first quad in this palette contains neutral shades. The second quad contains warm bronze shades. The third quad contains smokey shades.

The palette features a mix of shimmery and matte shades. I am all about natural, neutral makeup looks so I was very exciting to trial this palette.

I love the shimmery bronzy shades and definitely love all the matte shades. There are a few light shades (satin, cream, taupe shades) are not very pigmented, sheer and a bit dry to work with. It takes a bit longer to build up these light shades. The rest of the shades are gorgeous, soft, creamy smooth, pigmented and easy to blend.

I am very surprised by the longevity of these shadows. They last for a decent amount of time (up to 8 hours) on my lids with a primer. The shadows are not dusty, don’t fall out when I put my brush to it. Therefore the “dust” don’t get stuck in my eye and cause irritation.

The taupe shade and the brown shades work amazingly together to create a perfect natural everyday look. I can achieve warm glamourous looks with the warm bronzy quad as well. There are so much you can do with this Nude Palette.

I think this would be a great palette for makeup beginners who are new to makeups and do not own many eyeshadows. I think all the shades are very well put together to create this amazing palette. I would have loved it more if it came with a mirror.

Tips: You will definitely need a eyeshadow primer to go underneath as the lighter shades are pretty sheer. Primer helps them pop!

Maybelline Nudes palette

Well first, the palette isn't as big as I thought it would be, which is a good thing as it fits in my make-up purse nicely. The only thing that would have made the packaging better is a Mirror. It totally needs a mirror. I loved the fact that the outer sleeve comes with instructions on how to use the palette, that is fantastic for beginners.

The eye shadow its self, I think the only bad thing I can/could say is that there are a few shades that are very alike. But that's it, and that's not even bad. The shadows are really nice and pigmented as well and last all day. I love how versatile it is too. I love that I can do natural and smoky eyes all from one palette.

The sponge applicator is a little rough and after my first use I threw it in the bin. (palettes like this should definitely come with a brush)

All in all this is a great palette and would be perfect for a beginner, really for $30 you cant go wrong.

Yes I'm with you there why do they all come with silly little sponge applicator instead of a brush that actually works ;)

Maybelline The Nudes Palette

Thank you Beauty Review for giving me the opportunity to trial this product.

When I first received this product I noticed that on the outer plastic sleeve of the palette, there are 13 instructions on how to apply the shadow using the combinations of duos, triples or quads. For the first couple of days I followed the instructions given, then I become confidant in using my own combinations.

To begin with, I used the sponge applicator that comes with the palette, but for myself I prefer to use a brush to apply eye shadow. I found the eye shadow blended in nicely and it was easy to build up on colour for a more dramatic look. I found this palette quite versatile as I also used the darker brown shades to fill in my eyebrows and the lighter shimmering shade as a highlighter on my cheeks bones and eyes.

You can use this palette as a natural day time look to a more dramatic night time look. This palette would be great for someone just starting to wear make up and I highly recommend this palette if living on a budget, 12 shades for $30 you cannot go wrong.

I really like this product and I will continue to use it in the future.

Tips: For longer wearing I suggest using a primer before applying the eye shadow.

Nudey nudes!

I absolutely love this palette and worn it every day since receiving it in the trial!! I only wear light nudey colours so when the trial rolled around, I put my hands, feet, eyebrows... everything up, to get on it!!! There are so many different options... from quads, trios and duos... from the 12 colour options available. I love that the packaging comes with a plastic sleeve with instructions or tips (however you like to think of them... for me, it was definitely instruction!). The colours are creamy and such lovely pigments. I have tried to replicate #makeupbyjah's tutorial on YouTube but totally failed but I just love what it does to my eyes!!!! I love the packaging and the size of the palette, slips easily into my handbag. The double ended sponge applicator is good for thin lining the water line. I don't need to touch up too much during the day, which I normally have to with others because I have such oily lids. I love being able to do a light day look and then a soft evening look with one palette ...its fantastic and totally recommend this for everyone's collection! Thank you so much Beauty Review!!

Tips: Use the sponge applicator for thin eyelining the water line :-)

all you need

The Nudes Pallete is a fantastic range of tones. Whilst I haven't tried them all I can see I would use almost all of them. It includes a selection of matt colours ideal for everyday use but them aome shimmer with bronzes that are perfect for evening. I only ever where these tones so its nice to find a decent selection.

Tips: Great selection to find something for all occasions

Lovely Nudes

I'm happy to admit I'm not a big eye shadow wearer. I'm horrendously lazy with my makeup use and usually reserve eye shadow for going out, not day to day. I was however keen to trial this product because it was in subtle colours, and something I could see myself using. I really like the gold colour. I have quite light skin and found this colour to be something very subtle and something I could wear by itself without mixing the colours. I'm not great with makeup so being able to use one colour was great. I liked that there were guides to mixing colours not only on the packet, but also on the back on the palette. I liked how the colours mixed well and created some nice shades that suited my skin tone and weren't too bold on in your face. It seemed to last well all day. I'm a chronic face toucher and will forget I'm wearing it and will rub my eyes, and it was still there. I would probably say for longer use or for use in more humid environments that maybe a makeup setting spray would help, although I don't have a lot of experience with these. I couldn't just use water to get it off my eyes, which I guess is a good sign, and had to use makeup wipes to get it off. I like the double ended applicator that came with it but was disappointed to see there wasn't a mirror. Yes I know i should carry one, but i have found my palettes that did have mirrors to come in handy. The palette was quite large and the applicator section seemed like a definite waste of space. However price wise I think it probably provides more product for the price. Price wise I'm not really up with the play with what other products are worth, but I didn't think $30 was too much. Was also handy that you could get it from most major stores, not just online or at boutique stores. Would I buy it again? Yeah I think so. I like the colour combinations and it's a good brand.

Tips: Makeup setting spray would be helpful to making it last longer. Makeup wipes help remove when you want it off Beauty Review has an awesome article about the different ways you can use it. Some things I've never even considered before.

That was my only dislike that it didn't have a mirror. I thought about taking a mirror off an old eyeshadow palette and glueing it in lol ;)

Great natural palette

It comes in a nice compact palette and has a nice firm clasp so no need to worry about it opening while traveling. It comes with handy instructions in the back with what duos/quads etc you can put together. Although the plastic one has different information to what's on the back of the compact.

I used it for a neutral look while out with my kids and I really like the colours that come in it and the fact that you can do a really natural nude look with the lighter colours or take the dark or black and make an evening smoky eye. They are really build able which is great for first timers. I like that there is a mix of mattes and frosts and found the colours very flattering. I would definitely recommend to others, especially if you are just starting out with make up. I would suggest that you get some eye brushes/blender brush as the brushes provided won't blend as well.

Impact eyes

I love the ease of this product. The powder glides over the eyelids and the colours in the palette give a great impact, whether you go for duo, trio or quad. I would always avoid using eye shadows as they wouldn't go on very well or I couldn't get the hang of using more than one colour. The guide on the back of the pack and actual palette is fantastic. It helps you know which 2, 3,or 4 colours to use and in which areas. I have found the guide indispensable. The colour lasts all day and doesn't smudge off which is great when going from day to night. This is the best eye shadow and colour combinations I have ever used.

Dare to go NUDE

I decided to go with the lovely Sophie Garth’s tutorial for my first use of The NUDES by MAYBELLINE followed by the QUADS, TRIOS and DUOS which are on the back of the palette for you to follow.

I used the sponge applicator brush and found it rather harsh on my eyelids; not blending as well as I would like it too. There is a long applicator slot so your travel brush will easily fit in there which is what I have replaced the original sponge applicator with.

There is a great range of shades and pigments to create a natural all-day to Smokey eye which when I do wear eyeshadows is my 2 favourite looks. It’s unfortunate that the lighter shades are a little harder to build up to the particular colour shown in the palette and are slightly more powdery than the other shades.

The case is sleek and easy to fit into my makeup bag although would have loved to see a mirror in the palette but the colours are put on show through the see through front. Over all it is a well thought out concept.

I think the palette is something that would be perfect for beginners like myself, learning NUDES and naturals to then move onto brighter colours and more advance looks.

I have used creamer easier to apply palettes but will continue to use this for an all day look as it is long ware and doesn't crumble onto your cheeks.

Tips: Throw out the sponge applicator it comes with, it has a long enough slot to fit your travel brush in and use a primer or concealer setting it with No' 3 as recommended by Sophie Garth.

Oh my pallete gods, thank you!!!

I absolutely LOVE this pallete. So many different looks so easily achieved. The colours are vibrant and last all day or night. I've had countless comments on how great my eyes look. The guide for use is great for any make up rookies and easy to follow and understand. The packaging is great. Just all around an awesome product.

Tips: Use your brush for better blending
