TheBalm Nude Tude Palette: Review and Swatches

The Nude 'Tude palette is something that I purchased a couple years ago, but it is one of my go-to palettes when I want to do a neutral look. The colors range from light to dark, and the eyeshadows have a nice mix of golden, cool and rosy undertones.

The eyeshadows are extremely pigmented and have a range of finishes, from frosty, to satin, to matte. There are also four matte shadows, two of which can double as eyebrow colors.


I think this palette is perfect for someone who likes doing neutral looks but wants something that can also add a little dimension and drama to their makeup look. The burgundy eyeshadow isn't something that is usually included in your typical neutral palette and there are a lot of pale colors that are beautiful for daytime wear. 

I would use this palette for everything from every day to special occasion makeup. The soft colors are perfect for brides and teens and the dark colors are pigmented enough to take your look from day to evening. At $36, its a lot cheaper than any Naked palette and you're still getting twelve pigmented, buttery eyeshadows. It also comes with a small brush (not pictured) with an eyeshadow applicator side as well as a sharp angled side for use as a liner or eyebrow brush. 

You can buy the palette at theBalm's website or occasionally it is available for purchase on Hautelook
