Great shades, not so great coverage

This eyeshadow pallet is great because of the connivence of having so many colours in one place.The shades are very useable for a range of looks. However I found that they are not as pigmented as I would have liked and they didn't last all day.

Looked so pretty but that's about it!

I was excited to see the Maybelline New York 24k Nudes eyeshadows. The shades are so beautiful and anytime that you can find a dupe for eyeshadow palettes that are triple the price is a great day! I was lucky enough to receive a free eyeshadow palette for from Chic Advisor to test out but all opinions are my own.

The 12 shades are very earthy and mostly matte with a few shimmering shades. The palette shades are perfect for anyone who prefers a nude or natural look. It was disappointing that the palette only comes with an eyeshadow applicator with the sponge tips since i only use eyeshadow brushes now.

I applied the eyeshadow with and without using a eyeshadow or eyelid primer. I will talk about how the shadow worked with the primer from now on.- The base color was very patchy and had a little too much shimmer or glitter for me. I found myself going over my lids a few times to get the color even and I felt it still really wasn't but I looked very sparkly (which is not always a bad thing.) Next I used a medium brown over the lid and the darker brown to cut in the crease of my eye. These colors were muddy and didn't blend nicely together. It took again multiple tries to get and color to show up with out being blotchy. Not willing to give up I attempted a new look the next day- I used a beige all over my lid again I had primer on my lids. I wanted to try to see if I could get a saturated eyeshadow look. I used the gold on my lid and this is the only color I found that showed up and didn't take much work. I used a brush and tapped the color onto the lid then in the cut crease I wanted to use the olive green shade. This shade was again muddy and took a few tries to get the look I wanted. I died wet my brush with setting spray and use the olive green shade and gold as eyeliner and that worked fine. I also used the brown with setting spray on my eyebrows to fill them in.

Next I used the palette on my 60+ mother with using an eyelid primer. The results were the same patchy in places and settled in a few of her fine lines around her eyes. It did just an okay job. The shimmer in the base color was again too much and it took a few tries to get the shadow to not look so muddy.

My overall consensus is that the 24k eyeshadow looks great but doesn't perform like the palettes double or triple the price. I would rather spend my money and get a good quality eyeshadow that I don't have to fiddle with to get good consistency and coverage on the first try. So for me this is a pass. I will be happy to try the Maybelline 24k eyeshadows again if they improve the shadow.

My 16 year old niece received a gift and she loves the palette. It is perfect for beginners.

I have a photo attached of my mothers makeover wearing only Maybelline products besides eye and skin primers. She looks great!

I wont buy this product as it dont suit me

I would not buy this product as I did not like the colors on myself. The product itself was ok nothing to write home to mom about but it would do the trick.

Not quite right

I found this palette really hard to blend, the sponges painful, and that the colours lacked depth. The colour range was great, as well as the guides on the back. Overall it was very lacklustre. I won't be buying it in the future.

Je m'attendais à beaucoup plus en ce qui concerne les couleurs , pour moi elles sont très festives ! À utiliser pour les fêtes par contre la pigmentation est assez bonnes , s'applique facilement (ce qui manque à cette palette cest le miroir !)

J'ai reçu cette palette gratuitement de la part de chick advisor. Tout d'abord, les couleurs des fards sont magnifiques, exactement dans mes goûts. J'étais super excitée d'essayer... mais les couleurs ne paraissent pas du tout sur la peau, aucune pigmentation, malgré l'utlisation d'une base ! Très décue !

Fun to play around with if you've got a basic neutral

This is complimentary to their other neutral palettes, but the bit of fun it adds rivals them. I enjoy playing with them and blending the colours. I'm not an every day makeup person but for a special occasion, it definitely has enough bang to be worth it. Word to the wise--a primer makes it better.

The colors just don't last and don't blend very well I gave it to my daughter she loves the colors and can play with it. I really wish they blended better and lasted longer and the color showed up more.

Average best describes this pallet. I personally don't wear a lot of eyeshadow so what I look for in a pallet is a few matte nude shades for everyday wear and in the crease, as well as some metallic/shimmery shades. Overall I wasn't very impressed with the quality of these eyeshades. The pigmentation isn't great and they are very stiff. I do think that some of the shimmery shades are nice and will continue to wear them however there isn't a good neutral shade in the pallet for the crease in order to complete the look. As a result I usually have to reach for another pallet when using this which isn't very convenient. Overall, not my favorite. I have used better pallets from the drugstore therefore will not be recommending or repurchasing.

Thank you ChickAdvisor for giving me the opportunity to try this for free! #gotitfree

At first glance, the colours in this palette look absolutely stunning. They're very neutral and great for everyday use. However, while testing this, I found that the pigmentation and formula varied so much across this palette. The gold shade is fantastic and the formula is very long lasting...I don't understand why Maybelline didn't use this same formula for the other shades. Some of the colours were very dry and chunky that my brush was barely able to pick up any pigment. Overall, there were more colours in this palette that I couldn't use than the ones I could. And the ones that I could use lasted quite a while when used with an eyeshadow primer. #gotitfree
