Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Eyeshadow Palette Review

I was given this, and it's super pretty in the palette, but I'm more of a brights and bolds fan and so I've not used this anywhere near as much as my more dramatic options.

The packaging looks a little cheap to me, with a peachy plastic outer and a clear window to see the product through. The pans are a decent size, but I've had the shadow come loose from two in a bit of a brick, which shouldn't really happen.

Colour payoff is subtle but pretty, and the shades complement each other. They're relatively fine milled and blendable, but very much rosy nudes for a 'lil bit of makeup' look.

Pretty, just not for me.

This was on my want list for some time before I finally managed to get my hands on it.

The case layout is the same as the standard Maybelline "Nudes", clear lid so you can see all the colours, tips for colour combinations on the back, brush/applicator space and 2 double tipped sponge applicators. The sponge applicator ends are different with one slightly fatter than the other, I figure they might be good for smudging something so I haven't thrown them out but they are no good for applying the makeup unless you are desperate even then think twice, use a brush.

If you haven't heard the saying "its a crime not to prime" you will be committing a felony with using this as 4 of the light shades just show as sparkle without primer and the only matte is barely visible. Of the 12 colours in the palette, 2 are really metalllic, 1 matte and the other 9 have varying degrees of sparkle. There is no label for any of the colours and I wish there was so it would be easier to describe them,

- on the top line we have a white sparkle, pale peach pink sparkle, silver grey sparkle, pale pink sparkle, light dirty pink matte, and dirty rose gold,

- the bottom line rose gold metallic, mid brown with pink sparkle, grey toned pink sparkle, darker grey toned pink sparkle, mid pink metallic and black with pink sparkles.

If you are a matte fan, put the palette down and step away as this will blind you with sparkles. You could use the 4 lightest shades as highlighters, I have on occasion since I don't own any highlighters at present. The colours are great but the pigmentation could be better on some and even with primer I do think they need a touch up part way through the day, I am thinking of the lighter colours only. The colours are nicely milled but slightly more powdery than creamy. It is blendable but it does take a little work. I have used the darkest colour both wet and dry with no issues.

Would I buy this palette again, probably not but I will definitely finish it.

I’d been hugely keen to get my hands on this palette from the moment that I learnt of it’s existence. I held off for a while, waiting for some reviews first and despite a lack of rave reviews I still really wanted it. So eventually I decided that the best way to get it would be to purchase another BBBE containing the palette.

The colors in this palette are so pretty and versatile, I believe that they would look beautiful against all skin-tones and eye colors. Most of the colors are shimmery to varying degrees, a few are very shimmery, most are only slightly shimmery and there is 1 matte which is pale pink. There’s 4 pink colors in total, 1 off white, 3 grey, and 4 brownish/bronze colors.

Some of the colors in this palette are more pigmented than others, and overall the pigment is medium. I assume that some may be disappointed by the lack of pigment of these eye shadows, especially considering that the original Maybelline nudes palette received rave reviews. While I would have appreciated a richer pigment, i’m not too upset about it personally as I generally go for subtle eye shadow looks rather than bold ones.

I love this palette, the colors are awesome for subtle every day looks, and you can also create a smokey eye with the darker colors. If dense pigment is generally important to you however, then this palette may not be for you.

I received this in "The Nudes" Beauty Box and I think it's great for a natural eyeshadow look.

The packaging is pretty standard. It's a simple rectangle, with a clear top so you can see the eyeshadows inside. The palette comes with two, small brushes (like the ones that come with kids play make up) which I threw away, because they didn't work well and I have better eyeshadow brushes. It comes with ways to apply the eyeshadow, in trios, duos, and quads, which I love and think would be really good for beginners.

Most of these shadows are shimmery, so if you like matte eyeshadows this isn't a palette I'd recommend. I found the pigmentation wasn't that good overall, some colours were better than others. There are a few, mainly the lighter shades, that have next to no colour pay off, which I found disappointing. There are a few shades that I really love, which I feel makes up for the colours that I don't like.

I probably wouldn't buy this again, but I'm not disappointed and will definitely continue using it from time to time. I'd recommend this for people who are looking for an eyeshadow palette to make natural eyeshadow looks.

This palette is good one for a a Maybelline palette. When I think of Maybelline I mainly think mascaras and face products this is what Maybelline is good at. I have alot of makeup and many eye shadow palettes it's not my favorite however I think this would be perfect for a more mature person that is not familiar with alot of other makeup brands, I do think there are some flattering colours and textures in there that aren't to dark for a mature person to get a beautiful look out of and the shades do blend quite nicely. However for myself it's just not how I would like a palette to perform on my eyes, I would prefer my mattes to not have glitter in them and my shimmers to be alot more buttery and have more of an impact, this palette would be more of a go to if it did have a few more Matte colours and less of the glittery ones and even just 1 really good shimmer.

This is the second Maybelline Nudes palette I have bought and the second one that I loce. I have actually panned 4 colours in this and another two colours are close.

The selection of colours in this palette are super cute, especially if you love soft,subltle looks for your eyes. There is a selection of mattes and shimmers with a hint of rose gold. So pretty.

You can create many different looks with the colours, I would say mainly soft looks as the colours lend themselves to that look but there is a couple of colours that you could do a not so subtle look. While these colours are pretty you really do have to use quite a decent amount to get a good coverage. I have used a wet brush which gave me a better colour pay off and also using an eye primer helped the colour last all day

While I do love this palette I probably will not repurchase it as I feel for a little bit more money I can get a palette that is a bit more pigmented and one that you dont have to do so much to get a good colour pay off.

I personally really like this palette. I love anything rose gold and this palette delivers on that. There is a good range of colours. It is more subtle when applied than some other eyeshadows but i dont mind that as i dont often get the chance to wear makeup anymore so im use to a more natural look. The clip is quite hard to open which is annoying for me but good if my toddler ever managed to get her hands on it.
