NUDE 'tude Eyeshadow Palette

The colors in this palette are super pigmented easily blendable and of great quality. Little goes a long way and lasts all day. I am loving this palette Balm is a great brand....check out their highlighters. You have light colors gold pink and white colors...can be used under brow bone middle colors shades in burgundy and brown family and dark colors black and dark brown. Some are matte and some are shimmery. The colors are beautiful...nothing too crazy and would complement most if not all skintones and eye colors. This palette has something for everyone great palette to add to collection or for someone new to makeup. I think this is nicer than the other nude palettes out there. The shades which are not of just one color family such as all browns are more workable and can be worn everyday. This would be my go to eyeshadow palette when I travel...you can do a light look on the eyes or a smokeylook...this palette does both and can take you from day to night...even can be made wet for an intenser look. The only drawback if I had to name one as with most eyeshadow palettes is that you dont get a lot in the individual pans the pans are small in person as they look in the picture but this is true of any eyeshadow palette that you buythis is of comparable size....However the eyesshadows are nicely pigmented so little goes long way and you dont have to reapply or touch up so I can see this lasting a good amount of time. I would buy again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend! Less

pretty good eyeshadows...It was my first thebalm brand experience. what can i say, the packaging is very cute, in pin-up style, it has a big mirror inside and brush (terrible brush). eyeshadows are beautiful, good pigmented, very easy to blend, not creasy even without primer, long wearing and looks gorgeous. it is talc free and paraben free but if you're looking for 100% pure organic make up you'd better go to other brands.however, i'm satisfied with this palette and thinking about trying ''nude dude'' and ''meet matt(e) nude'' palettes.

I've been wanting to try THE BALM eye shadow palettes, and finally at age 56 I bought this one! I just never paid much attention to higher end large palettes until now. When LovelySkin sent me an email to shop, I was surprised to see cosmetic lines also! And the brands! Bravo! This palette, respectfully named "Appetite," has all wearable colors. A few matte, a few shimmer, but nothing too glittery. The palette itself is adorable. I used this palette twice since I've had it and feel the colors are very blendable and lasted all day into the night. I used Micellar water to remove it. I was happy to see that even the darker colors are very wearable. The lightest showed up nicely on my light/medium olive complexion. I don't feel that this palette should be reserved just for younger women. I'm 56 and can beautifully wear all the colors. They blended out great and wore hard into the night. I used a eye primer, so that may have been partly why the color didn't fade. This is the first time I've used THE BALM eye shadow palette. No fall out upon application. Can be used with water or MAC FIX + to deepen the pigments, but I feel they are very pigmented dry. My recommendation are to purchase this lovely palette. You'll love, love, love every color included. Great large mirror also. This would be a great palette for travel also. The palette has a sleeve that covers the whole outside of it. It's the exact print you see on the palette's cover. The lid has a magnetic closure too. No way it's flying open when you travel. Use the sleeve to protect it. Don't throw the sleeve away. « less

When I searched this and the other nude pallete at Khols, I absolutely loved them. But I wanted to wait until The Balm had their $50 off sale to purchase. I waited and purchased both nude palletes and was so happy! However when I started playing with them the eyeshadows were just extremely disappointing. Very chalky, no pigmentation, does not blend well, tons of fallout, and just overall not good quality. Im really glad I didn't pay full price for these! :( 

I'm almost 70 with krinkled eyelids. This palette is just about the best eyeshadow I've ever found. Very highly pigmented. Blends easily & stays on til you take it off. Do tap your brush before applying or it might leave "dust" under your eyes. If it does, allow to sit for a few minutes, then gently brush off with a soft fan brush. Because my eye lids are old, all shadow creases on me. I simply wait until I've finished all my makeup, then I press the crease (don't wipe or rub) with my finger, & set with Mally's Poreless defender. Because I have discoloration all around my eyes (age & radiation burns), I must always use either a good primer &/or a good concealer to even my skin tone & allow the true colors to show well.A tip: To open up small eyes, while looking straight into a mirror, place a small dot of very light shadow directly over your pupil. (White, pale beige or pink - even a pearl or bit of sparkle will work here, just keep it small) Tap lightly with pinky or small clean brush if there are any sharp edges.Anyway, this stuff is better than Urban Decay, Smashbox, even Mac for pigmentation.The colors in the palette are perfect for a simple nude daytime look or you can jack it up for a night on the town. My only regret is that I didn't find this when I was younger & smoother. ;)I can't recommend this highly enough. 10 stars+! :) « less
