Maybelline India Blushed Nudes Palette Review, Swatches, Tutorial

Hi guys,

I have been playing with The Blushed Nudes Palette and also created this look you see here.

What the Company claims: With all the things you’ll love about the new Blushed Nudes Palette, here are a few more:
– 12 rose-gold infused shades
– Easily blend-able
– Creates countless looks
– Compliments every skin tone

MRP: Rs.899/- for 9g

They have 13 different eye shadow combinations given behind, same like in the original Nudes, and that’s a very interesting idea. I can’t wait to try some of these looks.

The packaging of the palette is exactly like the original Nudes Palette and the pricing is also the same. It comes with a small applicator which has a sponge tip on one side and a brush on one side. The brush is pretty good for using in the inner corners or highlighting brow bone.

The palette is quite handy and small to carry along. It does not come with a mirror sadly, I would have loved a mirror.

The original Nudes Palette had all warm shades and more of browns, this palette has more pinks and grays and all cool toned shades. While the original Nudes Palette was supposed to pretty similar shades wise to the Urban Decay Naked Palette, this one the Blushed Nudes is very close shade wise to the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette.

If you follow me on Snapchat (bhumika_t), you must have seen a comparision of this palette with the same one in US and the shades are quite different, a lot of you took screenshot of that image coz the palette was quite different. I believe the US palette has more pinks and mauves and lighter shades and those shades might not show up on all Indian skintones, so they kept more of greys and darker shades in the Indian palette.

There are mostly satin finish shades, with one deep plum shade being shimmery and there are two mattes. One is a greyish taupe shade which is not that pigmented and the other is a matte white shade which is pretty decent.

Most of the shades are pretty pigmented while few are not that good and need a lot of layering for the colors to show up. But they stay on pretty good throughout the day once applied, more longer with a primer. They do not crease but the finish is not as fresh and slightly fade at the end of the day.

Here are the swatches:

TOP ROW:

The top row has all whites, peaches and pinks

BOTTOM ROW:

The bottom row has greys, taupes and purples.

I created this pink smokey eye look with this palette..

Overall I would say, this is a decent palette and worth checking out. We do not have many palette options available in India, and hardly any cool toned or pink-gray based. For the price, this is definitely pretty good. I do recommend this.

I hope you liked the look, do let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Soft Smokey Eyes Tutorial inspired by Mickey Contractor feat. MAC Cosmetics

Hi guys,

MAC Cosmetics is celebrating 35 years of Mickey Contractor in Bollywood with a special video that has Mickey creating the iconic smoky eye look which has become extremely huge and popular all over!

Take a look at it here..

Remember ‘Chalte Chalte’, the Sharukh- Rani Mukherjee starrer? Rani Mukherjee’s makeup in the movie was done by Mickey Contractor and it was this smokey eye in majority of the scenes, plus it looked fabulous on Rani’s brown eyes.

I was asked to create my version of this smokey eyes using a few MAC products. I got MAC Blacktrack gel liner, carbon eye shadow and Feline Crayon Kohl.

Here is a small video on how I did my eyes..

I started with MAC Blacktrack gel liner as a base and smudged it with a pencil brush, went over it with MAC Carbon eye shadow. Blended everything with a matte brown eye shadow. Layered the black again with the MAC Feline Crayon Kohl and smudged it again.

Used Feline on the waterline and smudged it and used the matte brown eye shadow with a pencil brush to smudge the kohl along the lower lash line.

Highlighted with a matte off white eye shadow and the inner corners with a shimmery gold shadow, then curled my eye lashes and applied lots of mascara.

I went ahead and did my face normally, skipped the powder for a dewy effect and also used a soft highlighter on the high points including centre of the forehead and nose. Applied an MLBB rosy brown shade to complete the look.

Excuse the little redness in one eye, something irritated my eye :/

I hope you liked the look, do let me know in the comments below 🙂
