Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette, RUB 2,800.
“In my opinion, this is the best palette from the brand in terms of color combinations. With its help, you can do red-peach, beige-brown, smoky gray, and violet-lilac eye makeup. The quality of the shadows is at the highest level: excellent shade, easy application and staying power - everything I love. Bonuses include cute packaging and the aroma of fresh peaches. If you like subtle warm colors, this is one of the best options.”
Urban Decay Ultimate Basics eyeshadow palette, RUB 4,690.
“A good selection of matte eyeshadows in natural colors: cool, nude, lilac shades on top, and warm, beige-terracotta shades on the bottom. Shades from milky to black allow you to create a variety of smoky makeup. The shadows blend well, are perfectly pigmented and easy to apply, creating beautiful, high-quality makeup. The palette is truly universal and will suit absolutely any girl for both daytime and evening makeup. Add some shining pigments to the shadows for a “sparkle” and the desire to buy other similar beauty products will disappear for a long time.”
Top best nude palettes for all occasions
Let's look at the top palettes for nude makeup, based on ratings and customer reviews online.

A more budget-friendly option would be Naked Basics and Naked2 Basics, which have 6 colors each.

Backstage Eye Reviver by Dior

Natural Eyes and Natural Mattes by Too Faced
The nude Natural Eyes and Natural Mattes palettes from Too Faced are beautifully designed in a vintage style. The shadows themselves have a silky texture, blend well and are highly pigmented.
Budget palettes for nude makeup
Decent analogues of the above nude palettes can also be found in the more budget-friendly mass market. We tried to include in the description both the pros and cons of the products.
Perfect Filter Shadow Palette by NYX
NYX's Perfect Filter Shadow Palette in Golden Hour 01 features 10 warm shades with a silky texture. The shadows in the set have a matte, satin and satin finish. Rustic Antique 02 is also a good option.
Basics Eyeshadow Palette by Ga-De
These shadows have received well-deserved positive reviews from their owners. Many people compare this product to Urban Decay's Naked Basics. The palette contains 4 matte and 2 shimmer shades. With their help, you can easily create both daytime and evening looks.
The Nudes by Maybelline
The company has a whole range of palettes from the Nudes series, in which matte shades are successfully combined with shimmer shades. These nude makeup palettes are more suitable for beginners, as customer reviews show that the pigmentation of the shades is low.
La Palette Nude Color Riche from L'oreal Paris
Includes 10 nude shades: 6 satin and 4 matte. According to reviews, the shadows are weakly pigmented, so they should only be used with an eyeshadow base. Also, the shades do not overlap each other well and create dust. At the same time, from the reviews you can understand that an important advantage is the well-chosen colors of the shadows and the convenient packaging with a mirror that opens 180 degrees.
Nude Look by EVA Mosaic
The palettes include 5 natural nude shades. The packaging contains a built-in mirror and a double-sided brush with synthetic and natural bristles.
Redemption Palette by Makeup Revolution
The budget brand of decorative cosmetics has launched 14 color variations of the product on the market. For nude makeup, the following are suitable: Essential Mattes and Essential Mattes 2, Essential Shimmers, Iconic 1, 2, 3 and Iconic Elements.
Illamasqua Liquid Metal Palette cream eyeshadow palette, RUB 3,499.
“The only representative of a creamy texture in this review is the luxurious universal palette of liquid, creamy eyeshadows with a metallic effect, Liquid Metal Palette from Illamasqua (finally the brand can be bought in Russia!). These eyeshadows in top shades (bronze, platinum, silver and gold) can be applied to the eyes, lips and cheekbones. They have a semi-gloss finish that looks luxurious and does not smear (which is unusual for an oily texture). I love using them as a base for eye makeup."
Golden rules for using a concealer palette
First of all, assess the condition of your skin and indicate the “front of work”. Based on your knowledge of concealer colors, determine which ones you will use to cover up problems. If there are several blemishes on the skin, mask them one by one using the necessary shades. Start with the problem areas that most need correction, then move on to smaller problems.
Be sure to blend your concealer before applying foundation over it. The boundaries of the colors should blend into the skin, otherwise the contours will be visible even if a thick layer of foundation is applied. It looks very unaesthetic. If you are using a nude concealer, it should be slightly lighter than your skin tone.
Concealers under the eyes are applied in inverted triangles. The colors need to be “stretched” downwards. This will help you cover up dark circles under your eyes. Pimples are masked by small dots. It is very important not to go beyond the boundaries of redness, otherwise the skin will acquire an unattractive sallow tone.
The colors in a concealer palette do not always need to be used strictly for their intended purpose. You can experiment with shades and mix them with each other.
Urban Decay Naked Heat eyeshadow palette, RUB 4,700.
“This is an absolutely bomb palette for me, a real hit of the season! Super-pigmented eyeshadows with stunningly rich textures that apply tightly and blend beautifully for a quick and easy makeup look. There is not a single unnecessary color in this palette; they are all absolute must-haves. The red-red-brown-violet eye makeup range has been leading for several seasons, and there are obvious reasons for this: it emphasizes absolutely any eye color, looks fresh and unusual. But at the same time, it doesn’t take us far into the jungle of overly colored shadows, allowing us to “wear ourselves” every day. Overall, my rating for the shadows is 5+++.”

Comments
Tarte Tarteist PRO eyeshadow palette, RUB 3,525.
“The color range here is more diverse compared to In Bloom. There are lilac, burgundy, brick, gray and beige shades. Plus there are absolutely stunning pearlescent colors for divine smoky eyes. The shadows are pigmented, easy to use, easy to blend, and last a long time. If you prefer to do a different make-up every day, then you simply cannot do without this palette.”
Liquid Eyeshadow Review
Cream shadows can be found on the shelves of cosmetic stores for a very long time. However, just a few years ago there were many fewer of them than now.
It’s difficult to say which manufacturer was the first to make tints popular. Once manufacturers realized that liquid eyeshadows were a hit with consumers, many brands added these wonderful products to their arsenal.
I am glad that each brand of cream shadows has its own special properties. Despite the general characteristics, each of the products described below has its own interesting aspects.
Make Up For Ever Aqua XL
Soft, flexible liquid shadows produced by a French manufacturer are professional cosmetics. However, this product is so simple and easy to use that it can be used every day; the shadows are available in a tube.
When using, squeeze just a drop of the product onto the brush: it is very pigmented, so it can and should be used extremely economically.
The shadows are waterproof, which allows them to stay on the eyelids throughout the day.
Cost: 1200 rubles
Inglot Aquastick
Most of the shadows in this line have delicate and radiant shades. They are ideal for wedding makeup, in which they are used mainly as a base.
However, you can also do your own eye makeup with this waterproof product. But for it it is better to use darker shades - for example, 014 or 015, because smokey eye made with light shadows will look somewhat strange.
When working with this product, remember that it hardens quite quickly, so you need to blend it out as quickly as possible.
Cost: 1300 rubles
Maybelline Color Tattoo
Budget product in this category. Available in the form of dense and viscous cream shadows in a puck.
The shadows are quite difficult to use, some shades are very successful, and some are not (they can appear in spots and harden unevenly, which is very inconvenient).
Shade 91 Crèmede Rose will be very comfortable to use as a base for eye shadow. And with shade 40 Permanent Taupe you can create a nice smokey eye.
Cost: 300 rubles
MAC Paintpot
These are more expensive, but very high quality and long lasting shadows. They are plastic, easy to put out, and harden slowly but reliably.
For independent makeup, I recommend the shade Constructivist, and as a base for everyday makeup, Painterly. All shades give a bright and rich color on the skin, while blending well into the skin.
The shadows are long-lasting, despite their creamy texture; they do not harden in the jar for a very long time.
The price is 1650 rubles
Be Yu Metallic Eyes
True to its name, the shadows have a pleasant metallic sheen. This means that they will help you create beautiful holiday makeup. They harden quite quickly on the skin, so applying and blending them should be quick.
The longevity of the product is average, after 6 hours only glitter remains on the eyelids. However, their durability can be extended if dry shadows are applied on top of them.
Cost: 550 rubles
Giorgio Armani Eye Tint
A very expensive product, which, nevertheless, has earned the recognition of many makeup artists.
The shadows have a pleasant texture, they are very easy to shade and apply in an even layer. They are also able to remain in a state as if they had just been inflicted throughout the entire celebration.
The line is rich in a variety of shades, each of which fits onto the eyelids properly.
Cost of the product: 3000 rubles
Eyeshadow set Morphe 35U, about 2000 rub.
“This is my favorite multi-colored palette for creating extraordinary makeup options. A rich selection of the brightest shades - from yellow to purple, as well as matte and shiny textures amaze and inspire. Incredibly cool shadow quality in every sense of the word: 35 perfectly hazy shades that blend perfectly and clearly convey even the most complex colors.”
Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette, RUB 3,200.
“Another one of my favorite shadow stories. The palette is extremely successful in terms of choosing shades. There is an ocher-red range, and reddish, and bright crimson, and lilac, and brown. Moreover, by combining colors that seem incompatible at first glance, you get the result - fire. I recommend it to all lovers of fashionable bright makeup.”
