Recently I have been so irregular in my blogging I am trying
to post as much as possible but something or the other comes up and we all know
the facts of life its never stable and never the same. So not taking much of
your time I am finally happy to get a chance to write about Maybelline’s new Blushed Nude
palette.
Like Maybelline's previous Nude palette this comes in plastic packaging where you
can see all the 12 shades through it. Its totally inspired by urban decay naked
3 palette. All 12 eyeshadows are in rosegold shades which is pretty exciting.
I don’t know how much of you liked Nude Palette but I still
use it sometime as it had some really good shades in it. This palettes always
remind me of urban decay naked palette. Well the packaging is in rose gold
having 12 rectangular eye shadow pans. It doesn’t have mirror but does contain double
sided brush having sponge applicator on one side and flat brush on other. The
brush is quite long but I really don’t like using this brushes which come in a
kit except for while you traveling. With this kit I like using finger to press the pigment on lid or blending brush. This eyeshdaows can be divided into 3
squad comprising of 2 upper row and 2 lower row eye shades. You can use them in quads or individually.
Now coming on to the texture of this shadows 9 shades out of
12 have shimmer in it and rest of them are matte. So if you love shimmery
shades you will like this palette. This palette doesn’t go on
every skin tone like the Nudes. If you are of fair skin tone almost every shade will work on you. But if you are of medium to dark tone only few shades work well. The texture is powdery when you try to swatch it glides smooth and the
formula is not to dry. I feel you need to use eye primer for this palette. The
texture is soft but some of the shades are really dry and comes of in chunks which
causes lots of wastage. They have some
really amazing pigmented shades and some of them are my favorite. This eye shades blend very well on primer. But some of the shades do
feel grainy and chunky but once you take them on brush they blend effortlessly.
Some shades are really pigmented while some are less pigmented but none of them are
sheer. Some of the shimmer eyeshadow are frosty and so you can use them as
eyebrow highlighter or highlighting inner corners.
This palette is very similar to naked 3 palette from urban
decay.
If you are looking for some affordable version of naked 3
this is a perfect choice.
You can increase the intensity of eye shadow by using wet brush.
They eye shadows don’t crease much or there are no fall outs.
Out of 3 one of the shades pink taupe was hard to use on
crease it was so less pigmented that I had to layer it off 4-5 times.
If you like softer looks on your eyes this palette has all
the shades to give you that kinda look.
Overall I do recommend as there is nothing so affordable then
Maybelline. I think most of the gals will like it. And also it will make sweet
addition to your makeup collection.Whats your opinion on this palette?
