Once I discovered Covergirl TruNaked Nudes eyeshadow palette, I could not live without it. It is truly the only palette you will ever need. The color selection is outstanding- most of the time with palettes, you only use a few colors. Every color in this palette is wearable. The reason I love this palette so much is its versatility- I use this palette for contour, filling in eyebrows, filling in grays, and as an eyeliner.
Here are instructions for using the palette. References are based on number from left to right of color.
- For a day smokey eye- with a fluffy brush, apply color #2 all over the lid. Apply color #1 on the brow bone. Apply color #3 to the lid. Apply color #4 to the crease. Using a liner brush, line the top and bottom of the lid with color #8 or 7, depending on the loop you want. Smudge the bottom of the lid with a smudge brush to soften the look. Use a q tip to clean up the excess.
- For an evening smokey eye- in addition to all the steps in #1, apply #5 to the corner of the eye, the crease, and bottom lid with a crease brush. Before you do this, be sure to tap off excess so the look is not too severe.
- For contour- apply color #4 or #6, depending on your skin tone to the hollows of your cheeks, your jaw line, and forehead using a the ELF thick smudge brush for precision. Blend out with a beauty blender or sponge.
- For covering grays- assuming you are a brunette, depending on your hair color apply color #4, #6, or #7 to your gray roots with an eyeshadow brush. Seal with hairspray.
- For filling in eyebrows- depending on eyebrow color, apply #4 or #6 to your eyebrows. Seal with brow gel.
Thankfully, this palette only costs $12.99. If Sephora sold it for $60, I would pay it, I think its so extraordinary. I can assure you, even expensive high end palettes do not have the color selection or quality of this palette.
I have found many uses for this palette. Please let me know if you have any others!
