theBalm Nude ‘tude Nude Eyeshadow Palette Review and Swatches

After Urban Decay Naked and Naked 2 Palettes, I stumbled upon yet another great product, theBalm Nude’tude Eyeshadow Palette.

theBalm Nude 'tude Nude Eyeshadow Palette

The Nude ‘tude Nude Eyeshadow Palette comes in theBalm’s signature cardboard packaging with a large mirror, twelve eyeshadows and a dual-ended eyeshadow/liner brush on the inside. There are two variations that contain the same eyeshadows – “Feeling Naughty” has nude women with body parts covered by the shadows and “Feeling Nice” (the one featured in this post) does not.

The shadows come in a variety of textures and colors that go very well with one another. All the shades also have names beginning with “S” and are not available individually.

• Sassy is a frosty white that is similar to MAC Forgery.
• Stubborn is a frosty light pink/peach.
• Selfish is a frosty grayish taupe.
• Sophisticated is a dark brown with bronze shimmer and similar to Darkhorse from the Urban Decay Naked Palette.
• Sexy is matte burgundy.
• Serious is a black with matte finish.
• Snobby is a shimmery yellow.
• Stand-offish is a frosty/metallic light brown.
• Sultry is a satiny warm medium brown similar to Buck from Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette.
• Schitzo is a golden bronze.
• Silly is a reddish brown with flecks of copper sparkles.
• Sleek is a dark brown with matte finish.

This was my first time trying theBalm eyeshadows and I was really blown away by the quality. The shadows all applied with a smooth, buttery texture and superb pigmentation except for Snobby and Silly, which were slightly dry and powdery and require a bit of layering. I was also most impressed with the mattes. They were neither too stiff or chalky (a common problem with matte eyeshadows) and handsdown the best I have seen in a while.

Onto the swatches!
