Palette Smackdown:
The Nudes VS the blushed nudes
The nudes palette came out last year and it
seemed like everybody hated it. Of course every palette has a few duds but this
one had more than a few. A couple colors worked but it wasn’t worth the ten
bucks. This year the blushed nudes came out. Last year it was said the nudes
palette was a dupe for the urban decay naked palette and the new one is supposed
to be a naked 3 dupe. I cannot confirm that because I don’t own either of them.
Now lets get into the smackdown!
Maybelline kept the same packaging just changed up the colors. The nudes palette has gotten so dirty, I'm sorry!
The nudes in the original look so promising
in the pan but it was a downfall. I wish the pans were bigger in both but for
the price of ten bucks, its good sized.

I had a picture of the nudes with flash but
I cannot seem to find. As you can tell from the pictures the pigmentation is
really lacking. You can build the colors up but it still will not look how it
does in the pan.

To be honest I'm not 100% impressed with this palette but is much better than the original. The pinks are very pigmented and creamy. While the deeper shades are the duds of the palette with almost non pigmentation.
So what’s the verdict? Pick up The Blushed
Nudes. In my opinion there are much more pigmented shadows from the drugstore.
But for ten bucks it will not be a waste. And Maybelline please work on your
darker shades. We can’t really do a nice smokey look with these palettes!
