Collection Eyes Uncovered Nude Palette: Review

Hello!

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted, unfortunately I was having a love- hate relationship with blogging, so I took a break.

But I am back!

Today I will be reviewing the Collection Eyes Uncovered Nude Palette. My friend Hannah, who has a blog, also has this palette and I thought it was gorgeous and a key necessity for my growing eye shadow collection!

Going to my local Superdrug, I walked over to the Collection stand and was on the hunt for this palette and found it almost immediately, I was overly-excited about the price too as it was only £3.99 and couldn't wait to experiment with the different neutral shades.

When I got home, I started to get my Real techniques brushes out to apply the eye shadows on to my eyelids. The eye shadows were surprisingly good for £3.99 as they didn't powder on to my eyes, instead the eye shadow applied smoothly and blended excellent into the other shades to create a more gradual look.

I think this is a fantastic palette for people who are new to makeup- like myself- and to those who want a more natural subtle look.

Even though the palette does come with a small double sided brush, I used the Real tecniques BASE SHADOW brush as I knew it would be a lot better and is softer on your skin, rather than using a hard sponge brush.

The shades (from left to right) are called:

White Chocolate, a pale cream shade, which is also good for highlighting.

Buttercream, a slightly darker cream shade with elements of pale gold browns in.

Biscuit, it is perfect for a light base shadow as it brightens your eyes up.

Chocolate Milk, I use this one for working into the crease as it blends nicely to create a lighter smokey eye.

Brown Sugar, I mostly use this for going over the Chocolate Milk shade for two layers, which balances it out on the eyelid more when blending.

Espresso, I haven't used this shade much as I have quite pale skin and it is very pigmented and is too dark, but it is perfect for a smokey eye on somebody who is looking for a sharper finish, or somebody with darker skin.

I really hope you have enjoyed this blog post and aren't too angry that I haven't posted as often as I probably could have!
