Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Eyeshadow Palette Review

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.

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.

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 a palette I wanted once seeing the nudes I got gifted this palette and was super excited about it. It can be used in a combo of ways quads,tris or duos. It comes in a pink nude palette with a good size of varied shades of shadows with a few duo chrome shades. You need to use primer with these shadows. They swatch really good but when going on the lid there's zero performance apart from sparkle. So use primer. Although it's an ideal use on its own palette I'd set primer with a matte shade from another palette that performs well.or shadow single. I found using thsee shadows with ur finger gives a better pay off when using brushes the product gets sucked up by the brush. So move forward with application with your fingers. These shadows are so pretty when looking at them and it's a pity that they don't have that colour pay off for me. I think some fairer complexions get a good show with this palette however my skin tone is medium to tan with some discoloration on my lids which I think is the reason for minimal pay off. I feel if you're after a natural look with a good amount of sparkle then look no further. Also good for begginers. I fell like this pattern has duo chrome cream shadows and duo sparkle and glitter shades.

This palette came in the Ball season Best beauty box ever, this was my first Maybelline nude palette to own and I heard so many good things about these palettes.

This palette is in a rose gold colored palette and has a clip that takes a good amount of force to open, it is great for when you have those little fingers around trying to get into your makeup.

The shades are both matte and shimmers. Most have a rosey pink tone which is nothing that I own in my eyeshadow collection. I was worried as there is more light shades, lighter shades dont normally show on my skin. I have a medium skin tone (Mac NC30) and find anything light looks washed out. I was surprised that the lighter shades work well, and they make a gorgeous highlight or base for eyeshadows.

The down side is the colour pay off isnt good, you need to pack your brush with pigment before applying it to your eye lid. Blending also takes a little long than usual when using the darker shades.

Overall this palette is good, Im unsure if I would repurchase as the colours are shades I would use on rare occasions. They would be great palettes for beginners and as little gift fillers.
