Merry Christmas to all and with holidays going on and endless parties we are all prepping up for amazing makeup looks with different eye looks. To help us in this affair Maybelline New York launched their new eyeshadow palette series consisting on four palettes till date,The Nudes,The Smokes, The Blushed Nudes,The Brights.
Each palette consists of 12 shades which are a mixture of mattes and shimmers.
In this article we will be talking about their first launched palette of the series, The Nudes.
When I got to know about this amazing launch I could not wait to get my hands on them . First time Maybelline has launched something like this with12 shades and it is amazing.
First and foremost the packaging. It is sleek sturdy and for a person who is unorganized and clumsy like I am dropping things, shoving all makeup in a pile in a corner makeup kits usually get destroyed pretty soon . But not this one, I have dropped it quite a few times (by accident of course) and it was intact without a scratch . The only bad thing about this is the lack of a mirror. I love how the Makeup Revolution London Palettes come with a huge clear mirror attached (some, not all) and I was genuinely missing a mirror in this one.
If you are a person who travels a lot the kit is sturdy enough to survive any journey but the downside is you need to carry a mirror with it . Then again we all carry compacts and all which come with mirrors already so it shouldn't be that much of a problem. :)
The backside of the pallete contains it's unique serial code like I have in "50M61M" along a very useful how to use shade guide. The colours of the pallete are arranged in such a way that if you consider every quad or every trio or every duo they are enough to give you an amazing look and how will you position the colours on your eye that is also mentioned. So it is a big big thumps up if you are a beginner or getting started with makeup and eyeshadows :)
Now, coming to the pigmentation I can swear that you won't regret buying a this at all. It is amazingly pigmented be it shimmery or matte and if you want a extra bold pop of colour with this the trick is spray Makeup Fining Spray ( or Rosewater in a spray bottle also works fine ) before picking up the product with your brush.
The swatches are below :)
(With Yellow Flash)
(Without Flash)
1- A light golden champagne shimmer highlight colour perfect for inner eye or brightening up the inner corners
2- A violetish taupe slightly shimmery colour. it is better if worn with primer or layered up a lil on Indian complexion
3- A shimmer light brown colour
4- A matter brown shade. An amazing crease colour or for darkening the outer corner for more definition
(With Yellow Flash)
(Without Flash)
5- This is a very creamish shimmer highligh but it mixes with my complexion fully so it did not come that bright on my skin
6- An intensely pigmented dark bronze shade . This is a single layer of swipe
7- Another highly pigmented golden shimmer shade amazing for bold eyes or highlight
8- Another immensely pigmented brown shimmer shade
(With Yellow Flash)
(Without Flash)
9- A greyish taupe matte shade which is really rare to come across in drugstore palletes.
10- A dark greyish brown shade. Amazing for a brown smokey eye look.
11- A white champagne highlight shade.
12- This is my most favourite. A matte charcoal black shade. It can be worn as a light shadow black shade or layered to a intense matte black .
PROS
- Very strudy sleek packaging
- 12 shades for a variety of eye looks
- Guidance of how different looks can be achiever is given at the back of the palette
- Mixture of mattes and shimmer in the same palette
- Amazing highlights and a charcoal matte black shade present which is difficult to come across in palettes
- The best part is that this palette is super affordable and fully worth it's price.
CONS
- A mirror missing in the packaging which would have been helpful
- Like most other eyeshadow palettes this one also comes with a small applicator, though unique and percil shaped still not at all useful to work with
