Review & Swatches | Paula's Choice The Nude Mattes Eyeshadow Palette


Hey guys!

Recently, Paula's Choice came out with this new limited edition eyeshadow palette titled 'The Nude Mattes'. After dropping a couple of hints, I received this beauty for my birthday and after using it a handful of times I have fallen in love! It was created with the help of one of my favourite beauty gurus Wayne Goss and wow, have they made something amazing together!

 
Ingredients
Talc, Mica, Magnesium Stearate, Dimethicone, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polyisobutene, Synthetic Wax, Mineral Oil, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Tin Oxide. (Also may contain: Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide, Black 2.)

 
There are a total of 12 eyeshadow shades; 11 matte and 1 shimmer.
The shades are Chantilly, Light Cream, Shimmering Shell Pink, Caramel, Café au Lait, Chestnut, Clay, Plum Taupe, Gunmetal Gray, Chocolate Truffle, Coffee, and Onyx.

A couple of the lighter shades are difficult to show on the back of my pale hand unfortunately.

  Pros
  • Incredibly pigmented!
  • Lovely range of neutral colours.
  • Wears well for 8+ hours.
  • Affordable price.
  • Makeup brush is included.
  • Sleek packaging.
Cons
  • A slight con for me, is that I would have liked a gold shade to compliment the warm matte tones this palette offers.
  • Limited Edition - I never want to be without this palette!

The Nude Mattes eyeshadow palette retails at £35 and it can be bought online from the Paula's Choice website.
