Beating a dead horse....sorry

I really am not sure why people rave about them, and I've gone back and forth on whether or not to buy one. I like that they contain several very pretty colors. However, my complaint about them is that some of the shades are so similar to one another, and they are all soooo brown.

I just bought TheBalm Nude Tude palette, which I think is a great alternative to the Naked palettes. The quality of the shadows is amazing - super smooth and buttery (except for just one of the shades), and they have fantastic pigment. I like the palette because it has some very pretty neutral shades, but there is enough variation in colors and it is not all brown.





Unfortunately, they don't carry it at Ulta or Sephora, but you can order it on TheBalm website, perfumania.com, or dermstore.com.

After reading all the raves about them I thought I'd try them, but not really a fan. I love my MAC shadows way more.

I love the Naked palette. Yes, there are a lot of browns, but that is kind of the point. Some people have complained the colors are flattering, but I'm warmed toned and they all look fantastic on me.

I love both of my Naked Palettes as I can create so many looks with them for both night and day. Plus the shadows are pigmented perfectly (at least for me) that when used with my UD primer potion, they last all day/all night. I love coming home from work or a night out and looking in the mirror and seeing that as the rest of my makeup may have faded, my eye make up still looks great.

I love the colors, but they're waaay too glittery for me.

Go Dawgs, I love that palette!
