So I was going to wait till tomorrow to try out the new Maybelline palette, but I was too anxious I couldn't wait.
First, let me apologize for the horrible quality of these pictures. Unfortunately, my phone finally had enough, and was forced to buy a cheap one until I can afford the one I really want. (No, I do not own a camera).
But anywho, this is the look I came up. And I have to say, I was really happy with this palette. Now I can't wait to find Maybelline's other new palettes, The SMOKES and The BRIGHTS. Have any of you seen or tried them yet?!
This is everything I used to create this look.
For the face:
⚫ Rimmel's Stay Matte Primer.
⚫ L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Healthy Makeup.
⚫ L'Oreal True Match Super-blendable Concealer.
(to conceal and highlight).
⚫ Covergirl Tru Blend Pressed Powder in Translucent Honey
(to contour).
⚫ Maybelline Fit Me Blush in Light Nude.
For the lips:
⚫ Nyx Butter gloss in Creme Brulee.
⚫ Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Violet Frenzy.
First I coated my lips with Revlon's Violet Frenzy. I let it sit fot a few minutes before wiping it off to leave a stain behind. Then I topped it off with the Creme Brulee Butter gloss.
For the eyes:
⚫ Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara.
⚫ E.l.f Eyelid Primer in Pearl.
⚫ E.l.f Eyebrow kit.
⚫ Curling wand.
⚫ Maybelline's The NUDES Palette.
Even though the Maybelline's NUDE Palette comes with pre-set looks with directions on the back on the packaging, I decided to be creative and do my own look. Well, this is what I came up with!
Top Row:
⚫ The 1st X I used all over my lid, up to the brow bone as the transition color.
⚫ The 2nd X I used all over my lid.
⚫ The 3rd X I used in my crease and blended it out.
Bottom Row:
⚫ The 1st X I used in the inner corners of my eyes.
⚫ The 2nd X I used in my outer crease and blended it out. I also used this to line my bottom lashline.
⚫ The 3rd X I used also in my outer crease and blended out to add definition.
Like I had said before, I don't wear eyeshadow much, so I am an amateur in training! But I hope you all enjoyed this post and liked the overall look. Have a fun and safe holiday weekend everyone!
Have you tried The NUDES Palette yet?

You have beautiful eyes, the eye make up is really nice too. Glad you joined the palette fan club lol x
