Very versatile palette!
I had heard such great things about this palette so I decided to pick it up on sale. I wish I had picked it up sooner because I was able to make such beautiful looks with this palette! I got a lovely smoky eye and a lighter eye look and used the darkest brown shadow to line and wing it out. I really think this palette is worth the money if you want these shades and this is also a great pairing palette.
Perfect Go-To
This was my first experience with ND eyeshadows, and I am very very impressed. The mattes are soft and when you swatch with a finger it feels lightweight and almost creamy compared to other shadows I own. They do have a bit of kickback when you pick it up with a brush, but that's not a problem for me. The shimmers have a similar feeling, but with absolutely no kickback. There is no fallout with these shadows either. Because of the creamy-like quality to them, they don't accentuate the little folds I have on my lids. They really melt into the skin, and it looks beautiful. The tones are nice for everyday, and I also had no issues traveling with them. The two mid-tone browns look similar but one is just a bit warmer, and I appreciate having that subtle variance personally depending on the look I am going for.
My first ND palette
Got this in the Lucky Bag this year. And was very happy to be able to take a look at the brands product. Nude palette is a great way to make a pleasant experience of a first using with many people. I like the colors, especially mattes, they are great and flattering for my warm olive skintone. Though I would prefer more differing mattes, like 2 browns and the one red/blue/green etc. But I must say that this palette is beginner-friendly this way, making it easier to apply an everyday make up. I like the lighter metallic, it is shifty champaigne-rosy light gold, but the darker is pretty boring and plane for me. All the shades are pigmented, I experienced no fallout, but in the beggining it was not easy for me to blend them. The silky formula is tending to sticking to itself better than to skin, so I got the patchy look. Later I got used to it and try other brushes and motions, so it got better. I heard many admired reviews on the shadows of this brand, but got my hands on them too late - I've tried some great indie brands shadows. So Camel palette didn't surprise me. I have shadows that are cheaper and on par in terms of the quality, sometimes even better. So it's good, but not " OMG astonishing".
Not a big fan of Natasha Denona shadows
The matte formula is creamy and it gives an even coat of color on the eyelids but it's hard to create dimension with just one swipe. You really have to use a denser brush to pack the pigments on in order to build the color intensity. The shimmer shade is creamy yet not my favorite. Also, I personally prefer eyeshadows with less oil content so the color intensity will last longer on the lids (like Pat Mcgrath's eyeshadow).
Throw every other palette
I was scared at first from reviews I saw. I’m so glad I got this cause you know those 2 transition shades you hit pan first in every palette you ever got ? The 2 shades in this are buttery and blend so well! I would pay the full price just for those 2 👌🏻
