A neutral eyeshadow palette should be an essential in any makeup lover's collection. Essence is a wonderfully affordable brand with a range of really good products to choose from, but this is not one of them. Give it a miss.

The colour selection of mattes and shimmers are nice enough, but it is the quality of the shadows that is sorely lacking. Most of them are chalky with little to no colour payoff, and the shimmer shades are too chunky with glitter.

You'd be better off buying a selection of Essence single shadows, which are of a much better quality, or even a different palette from a different brand.

This palette is perfect for someone who enjoys doing neautral, natural or nude looks, like me! :)

It has a really nice selection of colours, starting with the transition colours, then becoming darker :)

They have a really pretty subtle colour and shimmer and are not harsh looking. The shadows are super soft and feathery and apply nicely. This palette is perfect for your everyday look!

The pigment is not too intense so it is buildable. I will definitely be trying the other palettes in this range and recommending them to friends! :)

Why you should buy this palette?
Well that's easy, Essence Nude palette is the essential to every girls make-up kit, it's really affordable and you can purchase it at Clicks and Dischem.
But what I love is that you can use it everyday to create daily basic looks to a soft glam look and it's super pigmented with a really lovely slight shimmer to them.
They are really perfect for a daily basic look and It's fantastic for beginner make-up artists to the make-up addicts. I have quite big eyes so I really enjoy creating soft, natural looks especially for campus.

It's really a must have!

This is perfect for the office look and night time, it's got every colour I need, I have very hooded eyes so this helps me create the illusion of a bigger eye, the silky texture makes it amazing to work with, this beat my mac collection of nudes, it has just enough pigment to almost make it mistake proof for a make up novice like me!

First things first, Essence is always my go-to brand, and the brand where I haven't ever had any issues with.
Either buying it online from Takelaot or from my favourite store Clicks, I never had any issues with the quality or the manner which it was brought to me.

I use this eyeshadow pallet for my daily bronzing look , be it I'm running late or I apply this on my way to classes, it is very much pigmented and creates the perfect look.

Easy to use for beginners and experts on creating dramatic looks or for a simple daily shine.

Highly recommend it for beginners.

This is value for money, I absolutely love the essence range, not only because it is reasonably priced but because I have never used something I dislike.

I am obsessed with any brown pallet and this one is my daily essential, the colours are perfect and the shadow lasts throughout the day, no fading at all.

Where do I begin. I am soooooo in love with the eyeshadow palette. I love my nudes (hehe) because there are so many looks to create from one palette. I will be doing a swatches review on YouTube (that's how much I am loving this product). There are matte and shimmer colours in the palette so it is great a layering eyeshadow look.

I found that the colours are quite pigmented, therefore staying on longer and really bringing out the eyes. The best is there Is a great Smokey colour(amazing Smokey eye looks). A liitle trick I use, is to pick up the colour with my eyeshadow brush and then spray some Mac Fix+ on the brush, and then apply it to my lids. It pigments the colour even more and really makes the eyes pop.

Its perfect, I cannot live without it and I am definitely in love(shhh)
Essence products are so affordable and great for every girl.

I'm a sucker for eyeshadow palettes, especially those that I hardly ever use! But this beautiful palette from Essence with it's nude colours was perfect for me. I'm not the kind of girl who's going to wow you with her amazing colour skills, I prefer the nude and natural tones.

I've heard so many bloggers complaining that the pigment of this palette was pleasing, but I can't really say that as I have never used a very expensive palette that has better pigment... I find this palette perfectly fine for my everyday use, as well as my nights out. The colours blend well and with ease and I you can build the colours up a bit by re-applying it twice on the lid. I don't use a primer on my lids, and yet my eyeshadow stays put pretty much all day.

I love the shimmery darker colour in the right hand bottom corner of this palette, it's also my go to colour when I want to be a bit more daring. All the colours compliment one another beautifully... I also enjoy the two light colours on the left side of the palette as they are great for a total eyelid cover.

I probably won't repurchase this product because I can see myself using it for a long time, and by the time I'm done with it Essence will probably have other great palettes available or I'd have purchased other palettes to use.

Love Essence products!

The "All about Nudes" Essence Eyeshadow Pallette is a good buy, it's a long lasting product that gives an illuminating effect to any eyes. However, I unfortunately cannot use the product due to the fact that it triggers contact dermatitis on my eyelids - which is a very painful, itchy ordeal!

If you have just started using eyeshadow this is a great product to start with, soft and natural colours with a bit of sparkle.

The eyeshadow is amazing....

I really like this palette. It has a nice balance of matte and shimmer shades to do a complete look. I always turn to the lightest shade as a base for my whole eye. it blends very easy as well. The only downside is that it doesn't last as long as other high end shadows. But for the price, it definitely is worth the money.

I love the nudes and and pinks from essense

Essence is a great, affordable brand. These range of palettes are not good quality.

Pros:
Price (R76)
Range of palettes

Cons:
Shadows are powdery and lack pigmentation
A lot of fallout - the pans are so close together that the fallout from one shadow falls into the pans of the shadows surrounding it
Do not last long - maybe an hour or two
Not many mattes in each palette
Many shadows appear ashy and grey on medium to dark skin tones (some do not even show up on the lid)
Difficult to blend
Some shadows are quite chalky and clump

If you are looking for a fuss-free eyeshadow option, this is the product for you. With effortless ease you are able to create a look for the day and this can double up for night use. Simple to blend and affordable..this is what I am looking for in a palette.

This palette gives you all of the nudes that you need to create a natural daytime look or a darker nighttime smokey eye look. The quality for the price is great as the eyeshadows are quite creamy, however there is quite a bit of fallout. I find that the shimmery shades in this palette aren't quite as long wearing as the matte shades and also don't show up too well on the lids. Without a primer, I find that they don't last more than 4 hours but with a primer, I've had it last for up to 8 hours and through many a nights of partying.
This is a great palette for beginners or for makeup lovers on a budget who are looking for a good staple eyeshadow palette.

This pallet is a beautiful combination of nude browney shades in matte and one or two shimmer that gives you that variety to play around with. The Pigmentation is great and the fall out is not much, but there I have to come in and say that the brush you use got alot to do with how much fall out you get so I don't like to link that with a product itself that much.

Its nice and creamy with application and the shimmers are soft yet noticeable.

The only con I have is that two of the shades in the pallet are almost similar and even on application you don't see the difference.

But its still one of my favs in my make-up on the go kit and I will repurchase when its done.

i have my palette in the shade all about the nudes. Its a nice eyeryday palette perfect for daytime and work...very bendable and creamy...Its not very pigmented so you have to keep dipping your brush in the pan to build up the colour. it also doesn't last very long on the lids. It is quite affordable and great for those who on a budget.

I really like this palette because you can use it everyday and the versatility of the colours between matte and glitter gives you options.

The darker shades are great blender colours for a smokey eye and the lighter colours are great for subdued brow bone highlighter.

It has longevity which I think increases it's value. It's an essential for a make-up starter kit or a low-key make up girl

This All about bronze pallette consists of 8 shades ,6 of which are a shade of bronze whilst the two are cream and white for highliting . The shadows are really creamy and have a nice shimmer to them although not very pigmented. Applying a normal amount doesn't really show so you have to layer it on . I use some of the bronze on my cheeks for a nice subtle glow so I love the versatility of this pallette . Lasting power is not that great but all in all a worthy pallette.

I recently swatched this palette at the clicks store and they are so creamy and pigmented. And for the price, it is a pretty good buy. I highly suggest this product to all those that love a warm toned look.

at my age nudes is my safety net, it's ideal for the office or a night out. The Essence Nudes Eyeshadow blends extremely well, loving the price so affordable

This is the perfect little nude eye shadow pallet if you are looking for something affordable that is great quality
These eye shadows are nice and pigmented and blend really well together
you cant go with this :)

I bought myself this nudes palette from essence along with the roses one and am loving both of them. The color of the eye-shadows really compliment one another and look so good together on the eye. I love doing a daytime smokey eye with the nude palette and am actually wearing the roses eyeshadow today, they are great colors and the intensity of the eye shadow really lasts the whole day. You cant go wrong with these, they are amazing and I know they have recently also brought out the greys palette which looks really good too.
