Maybelline 'The Nudes' Palette Review

Hi Everyone!

Following on from my review of Maybelline’s Contour Palette I thought I’d bring you my thoughts on their 'The Nudes' Palette, which I bought at the same time. The Nudes Palette costs £9.99 & Superdrug had a promotional 2 for £10 offer on all Maybelline cosmetics, so I effectively got the Contour Palette for 1p! Get ready for lots of pics!

Firstly, I have to say just how impressed I am with the formula of these shadows! Particularly, though not exclusively, the shimmer shades They have the same smooth, buttery formula as Urban Decay’s shadows - which I LOVE!!!! They are also very pigmented & blend beautifully! The shade range is good, with 5 matte & 7 shimmer shades.

As well as the swatches, I wanted to create an eye look for you all. I’ve numbered the shades so you can see which I used.

1. On the brow bone & down into the crease to help blending (I’ve found this to be a really good tip)

2. On the lid, all the way up to the crease

3. 3/4 of the way into the crease

4. 1/2 of the way into the crease, outer ‘V’ & lower lash line

5. Upper lash line

6. Inner corner of the eye

I have to say, this has been the best drugstore palette I’ve ever used - no creasing or fading at all! I did use my Urban Decay Primer Potion, but I’ve had drugstore eyeshadows fade & crease even with this applied as a base!

I hope this post has been useful for you & that if you want to get your hands on it Superdrug still have their 2 for £10 offer on.

Do let me know what your favourite shades are from this palette are & if there are any drugstore eyeshadow palettes I NEED to get my hands on!
