Following on from my review of their Master Sculpt Contouring Palette I thought I’d bring you my thoughts on the Maybelline The Nudes Palette, which I bought at the same time. The Nudes Palette costs £9.99 & Superdrug had a promotional 2 for £10 offer on all Maybelline cosmetics, so I effectively got the Contour Palette for 1p! Get ready for lots of pics!


Firstly, I have to say just how impressed I am with the formula of these shadows! Particularly, though not exclusively, the shimmer shades They have the same smooth, buttery formula as Urban Decay’s shadows – which I LOVE!!!! They are also very pigmented & blend beautifully! The shade range is good, with 5 matte & 7 shimmer shades.


As well as the swatches, I wanted to create an eye look for you all. I’ve numbered the shades so you can see which I used.



1. On the brow bone & down into the crease to help blending (I’ve found this to be a really good tip)
2. On the lid, all the way up to the crease
3. 3/4 of the way into the crease
4. 1/2 of the way into the crease, outer ‘V’ & lower lash line
5. Upper lash line
6. Inner corner of the eye

I have to say, this has been the best drugstore palette I’ve ever used – no creasing or fading at all! I did use my Urban Decay Primer Potion, but I’ve had drugstore eyeshadows fade & crease even with this applied as a base!
I hope this post has been useful for you & that if you want to get your hands on it Superdrug still have their 2 for £10 offer on.

Do let me know what your favourite shades are from the Maybelline The Nudes palette are & if there are any drugstore eyeshadow palettes I NEED to get my hands on!

Thanks Sarah, the palette made creating the look really easy! Xx
I have been meaning to pick this up. Now that I've read your review, I'm even more excited to get it next time I'm at the store.
Let me know what you think of it Brittany! There are 3 versions out in the US – I can't wait for them to launch over here! Xx
I am getting ao inpatient for the blushed nudes ones to be released over here. It just looks so stunning. And with a great review of this pallette I bet they will live up to expectations. X
Yes! I can't believe there are 3 out in the US & we've only just had the 1st released over here! Xx
Ohh, I'm a fan of the buttery texture of the UD shadows too, so I bet this would be right up my street!

I'd definitely swatch it, they are beautiful shadows! Xx
I might have to give this little palette a try
Let me know if you do sweetie! Xx
I was really curious about this palette when it first released but then I kind of forgot about it to be honest. Opps. But it looks so lovely. I saw the new L'oreal one this past weekend when I was in the U.S. but I passed on it. Regretting it now. :-)

I didn't know L'Oreal have a new one out in the States. I've seen the two we have over here, but they didn't seem to grab me – I don't know why! Xx
I must pick up this palette, it looks gorgeous! Great review.

They really are! I hope you like them as much as I do. Xx
I saw this at my local drug store and was curious but have still to get it as it is so expensive in Malaysia (RM70!).
Oh that's such a shame it's so expensive in Malaysia! Xx
Nice post!
Thanks! Xx
Awwww wish I had realised this was on the 2 for £10. Would have brought the same 2. It looks so good. I swatched it instore.

I felt I'd hit the jackpot! I wasn't planning to go into Superdrug as I didn't want to spend any money but this was totally worth it! Hopefully they'll have a similar offer on soon. Xx

Thanks! I'm going to visit my parents for a week & this is all I'm taking eyeshadow wise so I must REALLY love it! Xx
Would you say this is a dupe for anything? I’ve been looking at this palette and it seems so dreamy!

I don’t think it’s a dupe in itself, but there are similarities between some of the shades in this palette & some from the Naked palettes. I was planning on doing a swatch comparison so I’ll try & do that sooner rather than later for you. Xx
Ooo, that’d be good. I don’t own a Naked palette yet ;( I was too kind and bought one for my sister instead haha! Always looking for palettes like it though! I’d like to read a comparison post :) xx
You’re a very good sister. I treated my sister to her 1st high-end palette for her last birthday & bought her the Naked 2. I’ll let you know when the post it up! Xx
