Maybelline The Nudes Palette Review

I was so excited to trial this product thanks to BR. My first impressions of the case were good. The palette seemed smaller than I had imagined it to be, but it was nice and sleek looking. I liked that you could see all the colours through the clear window, but I do wish it came with a mirror. It was helpful that the packaging came with detailed instructions showing which colour combinations would work best together, and where each shade should be applied. This makes it perfect for first time eyeshadow users.

The palette comes with a sponge applicator, but I suggest you chuck it and use proper eyeshadow brushes. There are 12 shades ranging from shimmery to matte. It is easy to get both day and night looks out of these shades. For the most part they were well-pigmented and they blended easily. Some of the lighter shades required a few layers, but aside from that they worked well. I also found that the darker colours applied a lot smoother and felt more velvety, while the lighter shades were a bit powdery. The colours definitely lasted longer and were more pigmented when paired with an eyelid primer. However if you don’t use a primer it’s not a big deal, as it should still last all day.

My favourite thing about this palette is that it has more than one purpose. I used it to fill in my eyebrows and found that it worked just as well as other eyebrow fillers. It can also be used as a contour and highlight.

Overall I really enjoyed this eyeshadow palette. I would definitely repurchase this again. This was my first time trying nude eyeshadows and now it is part of my daily makeup routine. If you are just getting into makeup or eyeshadow, I seriously recommend this product for you. It is affordable and great for experimenting with.

I love a good nude eye and I love a bargain so this is my ideal product. All the colors go well together and there is a handy guide on the back for newbies like me on suggestions to mix and match. There is a mix of shimmer and satin shades. I was not a fan of the applicator and that got thrown out pretty much straight away. I tried the powders on my eyes, eyebrows, cheeks and even lips. This palette is my new all in one and I would buy this again for sure.

I wasn't fast enough to answer my invite so I missed out. I waited two weeks and couldn't resist buying this after reading some reviews. So I purchased this from the Warehouse for $30 I was expecting to pay more so was happy with that. So it comes in a nice compact case that is black and fits in my makeup bag perfectly. It has 6 shimmer colours and 6 matte with a great how to guide on the back. I have tried some of these looks and they are great so many awesome combinations in one palette. The only thing I was disappointed with was the sponge applicator and it had no mirror both of those things are easily fixed. I am happy I brought this it is so versitile. Thanks for the heads up BR

I was very excited when this palette came out and couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I am all about nude eye shadow and have been wanting to learn to how contour my face for ages now.

The palette is a lot smaller in size than I initially thought it would be with each colour in the palette only being about 1cmx2cm. However, for $30 I was happy to purchase it because I was still getting 12 shades of nude.

The shades in this palette wear beautifully and all mix and match well depending on how light or dark you want your eye shadow to be. Some of the lighter shades are very light and some of the darker browns can come on very strong in comparison.

I'm still looking forward to getting a friend to help teach me how to contour when I find the time and will be using this palette to do so. (I'm just not sure a utube video will cut the mustard when I have so many shades to work work and don't have a clue where to begin)

While travelling, I picked up this palette. As a fan of nudes and other palettes, I thought this would be a great product to try - and I was right!

This palette is so versatile with 12 shades (variety of bronze, browns, champagnes, and taupes). It ended up being the only eyeshadow I used for three weeks, and I never tired of the looks I could create.

While I tend to use more expensive palettes, I was curious if these eyeshadows could stand up to them, and they did surprisingly well.

The palette is shorter than others I have, but wider, with smaller square pans, however, after three weeks of continuous use, they still look full.

The shadows are soft, and there's a mix of matte and shimmer. And surprisingly, the darker shades were quite pigmented. The lighter ones not so much, and I really had to work them to get coverage, but the light shades are beautiful colours so it was worth it.

Highly recommend giving this a try, I think you'll be surprised by the quality.

It was all the talk on BR which enabled me to try this shadow palette and Im not disappointed. I managed to nab my one on sale half price at Farmers. (woo-hoo)

After only wearing eyeshadow on special occasions due to all others irritating my lids (think eczema like) this one has been amazing at building my confidence back up with eyeshadows again.

This shadow is easy to apply and most are not super pigmented which means you can build up to the look you want - natural look to nighttime no worries!

I don't use an eye primer and find it still lasts me the whole day, although I have been prone to getting a small crease sometimes so I just do a quick check half way through the day when applying my lippy.

This would be a good beginners palette or for those wanting a good all-rounder, matte and shimmer - Id feel naked without it now!

The perfect palette. Wether I want a smoky eye or a natural looking eye this is my go to. I rarely stray from these tones so it's very handy to have this in my makeup bag to grab and go or for getting glam at home. My only wish was that I could get slightly more coverage with the wands provided but I have better luck using my fingers and then using the wands to blend. I love I can mix and match and usually stick to three colours - one all over, one in the crease and one to line. Sometimes the lightest colour to highlight. Great value for money.

I am a big fan of Nude palettes and I think this is wonderful. This palette is perfect for everyone. Maybelline has created a really good combination of shadow shades, a mix of shimmer, satin and matte shades. Firstly I like the packaging, it is a plastic and compact container, good to bring in our makeup bag. I'd like the packaging has a mirror but the lid shows the beautiful shades. The colors are coordinated for you, giving you gorgeous shades that work well together. In the back of the packaging are the swatches and how to's. This is very useful. I prefer the quads, they are separated to create the brown, bronzer or smokey look. But I think there are no limits to create any look. The shadows blend perfectly but if I want to have the intensity I need to apply them many times. They are silky but they are not too pigmented. I think this palette is perfect for a natural makeup to use during the day.

I am a complete brown smokey eye addict, and wear a combination of nude shades on a daily basis. Palettes are so useful when it comes to creating a cohesive eye look - and the Maybelline The Nudes Palette was quite simply AMAZING!

Firstly, the packaging of this palette is sleek, chic and use-friendly. I love the protective plastic sleeve over the stylish outer casing, and the useful diagrams to help out with where to best apply the shadows. If you were someone just starting out with makeup this would be super helpful, as it can often be confusing deciding where to place each shade on the eye area. I also love the way in which this palette is designed to be divided into sections of 2, 3 and 4 complimentary shades, depending on how many colours you want for your look.

The shadows themselves come in a GORGEOUS range of colours - my favourites being the lighter matte browns, which compliment my skin perfectly. All of the tones look beautiful together, and blend very easily into one another to create the perfect smokey look.

These shadows have the perfect pigmentation, and I noticed zero fallout during application. They also last all day long with no smudging, fading, or creasing. I received compliments on this shadow, which is always a sign that it's doing something right!

My personal favourite way to apply these powders is to take a light, shimmery shade for the entire eye area, then apply a light shade of brown across the lid. Finally I take a darker brown and dab it into the corners, and slightly into the crease, for extra shadow and oomph.
