The Balm: Nude 'Tude Palette Review

I bought this palette few days ago at Sasa for only Rm89 (original price: Rm115).  I've been longing for this palette for so long.  Lovely design and great colors! Consist of 12 colors. 4 matte eye shadows and 8 shimmery colors.

With flash.  From left: Sassy, Snobby, Stubborn, Stand-offish, Selfish, Sultry, Sophisticated, Seductive, Sexy, Silly, Serious and sleek.

As you can see from the swatches, the eye shadows are quite pigmented.  The shimmer eye shadows are very rich with shiny glittery shimmers. Pretty and eye-popping! The first 4 colors are really good for highlighting the inner corners and brow bone area and wherever you want to highlight.  It took only 1 swipe for the shimmer colors to show up. 

• 'Sassy' - white shade.  Use it on the inner corner and brow bone for highlight.  Rich in pretty shimmers!
• 'Snobby' - pale yellow shimmery shade.  When swiped, it shows up as a light golden color which is very pretty.  Good for highlight or natural eye make up.  Brighten up the eyes. Great for summer make up. 
• 'Stubborn' - pearly pale pink shade.  Use as highlight or as a base for other eyeshadows.  Use it alone for a bright looking eyes.
• 'Stand-offish' - pale peachy shade.  Very rich in shimmers. Best for highlighting the inner corner!
• 'Selfish' - Light greyish brown shade. Recommended for natural eye make up.
• 'Sophisticated' - dark greyish brown.  When swiped, it shows as a deep dark brown with pearly details. 
• 'Seductive' - Bronze shade.  This one is very pretty.  Use it alone for Korean eye make up or use it together with darker shades to create a pretty smokey eyes.
• 'Silly' - Exciting dark brown shade with reddish shimmers. Combine together with 'sexy' shade, it will make a pretty vampirish eye make up!  Smokey eyes all the way.

The 4 matte eye shadow are dark toned.  The texture is soft for easy blending.

• 'Sultry' is a light brown shade which is great for contouring.  The color is not heavy and blend very well.
•  'Sexy' is a rich mahogany brown shade.  Pretty cool and make a great shade for smokey eyes.  Better for gothic and sexy vampire look! 
•  'Serious' is a kohl black color.  Great for eye-lining and dark smokey eyes! It is very dark and blend easily for a smudge up smokey look.
•  'Sleek' is dark brown shade. Darken up the creases with this color and you will have deeper creases! Would make a great color for crease-cut eye make up!
  

  Verdict: Great colors and fun design! Love the colors.  Great for travelling. Combine and play around with the colors! You can create from light natural eye make up to heavy smokey eyes with this palette.
