Now I know this palette has been around for a long time now but I just got it a week ago and fell in love with it. So i just have to write a review about it! This palette consists 12 neutral shadows ranging from cool to warm tones, from matte to shimmer finish, from light to dark color. It has every color you need to create a neutral eyeshadow look. It is a bit pricy ( IDR 650,000 at SOGO’s the Balm counter ) but if you actually divided the price for 11g of products and compare it to other brands eyeshadow (such as Nyx) it isn’t too pricy.
Here is the description from the Balm website,
This amazing palette consists of 12 beautiful shadows that make wearing nudes sexy! These satiny smooth colors can be applied naturally, i.e. “let me slip into something more comfortable” or beautifully layered. The wide range gives you light highlighters as well as brazen bold shades that work to add definition and emphasis to your lids. Nude`tude allows you to dramatically dress up your eyes—if nothing else!
THE REVIEW
The packaging is so slim, making it the perfect palette for travelling. It comes with a dual ended brush (eyeliner and shadow brush) and also has a nice size mirror ( a big plus for me). You got 12 shadows with about 11g of product in total. The packaging is cardboard, so it is light and durable. It is closed with magnet. But the highlight of the palette is it is SOOO CUTE! It has vintage vibes all over it! The drawback for me is you can accidentally make the palette dirty from the eyeshadow if you’re not careful when you pick the product with your brush, since the packaging is so lovely i don’t want to get it dirty :( The brush that it comes with is an okay quality, i actually keep it and used it several times.
The eyeshadow quality is very good, this shadows are pigmented, easy to blend, and not powdery. I notice this doesn’t fall out as much as Urban Decay Naked Palletes but a tiny bit harder to blend. It lasted well on my lids but i still recommend to use eyeshadow primer if you’re going to use this shadow all night long. These eyeshadow never creases on me.

Overall thoughts, i love this palette. If i ever travel this would be the only eyeshadow palette i’m bringing! It has wide variety of color, durable, light, and includes mirror! My favorite colors is Seductive, Sexy, and Stand-offish. the Balm had come out with the another palette in this same theme called Nude Dude, I have swatched that on the counter but i prefer the color selection in this palette over the newer edition. I did a berry tone smokey eye tutorial using this palette click here to see!
As always thanks for reading my blog, have a good day and xo’s!!
