Maybelline The Nudes Palette Review

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.

When this palette first came out I could not wait to purchase it, I didn't own any fully nude palettes so I was pleasantly surprised when BR sent me one to trial.

The palette itself was smaller than I expected but the overall packaging was very nice. It comes with a helpful chart that shows you different eye looks and an idea of what shades match well. The eye shadows themselves were beautiful with a good mix of matte and shimmery shades.

The eye shadows were very easy to blend and had good staying power. These eye shadows were buttery, well pigmented and applied well with very little fall out.

This palette is awesome for beginners like me as it has a good mix of shades and a variety of looks can be achieved using only 12 shades, I love it.

I was lucky enough to trial this palette for a range of uses, from a night out to daily wear. I loved how the range of colours could be used for either, in both warm, neutral and cool shades. I did find some of the colours didn't come out as strong as others. I tried using the combinations on the back, and they were good, although some of them I wouldn't do myself. Would definitely use this again, was great to take out because you only needed the one item.

This is an awesome palette. Super versatile and wearable. Great neutral shades with a variety of shimmers and mattes. Good price compared to high end palettes and the shadows are good quality. There are some light shades that barely show but overall the pigmentation is decent, especially for drugstore.

The Maybelline Nudes Palette looks a little naked on the Maybelline wall as their only palette. So of course one has to buy it and give it a home amongst many palettes.

The Maybelline Nude palette is well engineered as they have very specificially chosen the placement of each shadow to inspire users to use the shades as duos, trios or quads. Or however they like of course.

This is all packaged in a nice classic black case that frames the shadows and the palette and just finishes the look off nicely.

My first impression of the packaging was that the whole product looked smaller than expected, but that stylewise it bet its competitor.

The shadows themselves are compact and well pigmented. They last all day and create a natural look.

I do think the palette at full price is a little over priced, and would only get it with 25% off at the Warehouse.

I do however look forward to seeing what palettes Maybelline bring out next because I do think this is a hole in the market currently in NZ. But the nude palette I think was a really good choice to test the waters.

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 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’ve been looking for a wide selection of nude shadows for a long time that I could travel with.

You can create many different looks to carry you from day tonight. It’s great this also contains a black for a Smokey eye or great with a little water to create eye liner.

You have a few matte shades along with shimmers ranging from champagne, gold, to deep browns.

If you’re looking for a great all round pallet then this is it.
