Maybelline The Nudes Palette Review

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.

The colours in this pallet are not very pigmented which i don't mind too much as i don't suit dark shadows. I used to use one of the dark colours for my eyebrows which worked really well. The quality of the packaging seems cheap as iv'e actually had a pan fall out :(

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.

Nice nude colour selection but it is not very pigmented. Takes quite a lot of effort to biuld up coverage. I agree with the previous reviewers. Great for first timers who are looking to experiment with eye looks. The shade range and mix of matts and shimmers can take you from a more natural day look to an ultra glam evening look and good for all comfort levels.

There is a light pinky colour in this pallete that is very pretty would make a nice brow bone highlight or inner corner it is sparkly and the actual pretty pearl doesn't show up on light skin. Most of the tones in here are not very pigmented or just lighter and darker versions of the same colours. They are powdery or can blend out to a mess or nothing. I'm not the best at using mattes anyway I like strong shimmers or metallic pigments and so this pallete isn't for me or one that I will buy but I did have a little play around as my youngest sister has it. There are shades in there that just remind me of cheap crappy eye shadow palletes like there is a glittery brown. There is a nice decent metallic Goldy / bronze though and you could use the mattes to fill in your eye brows but yeah I think it's just a common pallete of browns basically and for me certainly not worth 30 dollars. At least you get a variety of matte satin glitter and metallic finishes.

There are SOOOOO many better palettes out there than this. It's chalky, dry eyeshadow with terrible pigmentation and formula. For $30, it isn't worth it at all. The only pro I can think of is that it it's easily available at Farmers or other local stores. There are way better dupes for the Naked Palette that will trump this. It's not worth it, don't buy it.

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.
