Hi everyone, who got interested in my review!
When I first saw this eyeshadow palette from Maybelline, I desperately wanted to try it. How could anyone be indifferent to these colors?
The shades are so soft and go perfectly with one another 
Nevertheless, there is something I don’t like about it. Read on to find out what

Volume: 9.6 g
Manufacturer: Maybelline
Made in Italy
What they say:
WHAT IT IS
The Blushed Nudes® Eye Shadow Palette features 12 expertly curated shades for custom eye makeup looks.
BENEFITS
This 12-shade eye shadow palette features dazzling colors infused with rose gold pigments. From bold beiges and sultry sands to brazen bronzes and tempting taupes, this makeup palette is perfect for creating versatile eye makeup looks.

Packaging
The palette comes in a pink plastic case that is quite flimsy and prone to getting scratches very quickly. It closes tightly and everything functions well, knock on wood. There is no mirror included, but it’s OK. What I don’t really like is that the shades are tightly packed, so that when I pick up the product, the shades are constantly blending.

Applicator
A two-sided applicator is the same as the applicator of the Nudes palette. However, there is a slight difference:
On one side there is a sponge, which I use for the light shades and on the other there is a brush of a cheap material. VERY cheap material. But I got the hang of it and use it for darker shades.
Most of the time I prefer using other brushes, however.

Texture and pigmentation
At first I wanted to describe every shade, but now I realize that there is no need to do it, as they all are pretty much similar in terms of quality. The first row (1-6 shades) are more neutral than the second row (7-12 shades), which is more glowing due to a big amount of glistening particles.
Anyway, I’ll talk about some of them:
No.1 is the lightest shade out there. It has fine glistening particles. I use it for highlighting the inner corner of my eye. I think it can also be used as a highlighter.
I don’t get why many girls say that it’s the worst shade in this palette. I disagree, it applies very well.
No.4: I call it an “undermatte” rose shade, as it seems to have an absolutely matte finish, but in reality has some fine shimmer to it, which doesn’t actually disturb me. The shade is just a little bit dry.
No.5 is matte The color is dusty pink, I like it… The shade looks well applied to my upper eyelid. The texture is very nice and somewhat creamy. It reminds me of the shade 6 in the Nudes palette.
In general, all the hues are highly pigmented and apply effortlessly, but the thing is that I always use the Maybelline Color Tattoo as an eyeshadow base, so that is probably the reason for the high pigmentation
Moreover, you can try to apply the eyeshadow wet to make it more intense.
The texture is very nice, not dry and silky. However, there is a little drawback: the shades, especially dark ones, fall out when I apply them… There is something to consider when you have your foundation on. .............................................................................................................................................................................
Staying power
Staying power is the reason I couldn't get the hang of it… The thing is that the eyeshadow lasts much longer in cold weather. When it was summer, for instance, it was very warm and sometimes even hot outside and the eyeshadow creased and looked bad. This time of the year it lasts all day and never creases.

Makeup looks
Now I suggest looking at the possible makeup looks with the Blushed Nudes palette:
№1
This is the easiest and the lightest option… I apply a thin coat of the Maybelline Color Tattoo 65 and the shades No. 4 and 5 to the whole upper eyelid and the shade No.1 to the inner corner of my eye and No.8 to the lash line.
№2
Actually this look is just a little more intense than the first one. Here, I’ve applied the shade No.11 to my crease and the shade No. 7 and 11 to the lower eyelid.
№3
Here, I’ve used the Maybelline Color Tattoo 55 as a base and the shade No. 10 for my upper eyelid and the shade No.12 for my lash line.
The pictures with a flash:
№4
This look is even more intense I’ve applied the Color Tattoo 91 and the shade No. 12 to my upper eyelid and the shade No.8 to my lower eyelid. Moreover, I’ve added some glow to the centre of the eyelid with the shade No.7. Then I’ve blended out the lines with the shade No.9 and applied the shade No.3 to the inner corner of my eye.
I would highly recommend you use the Color Tattoo 65 and 55 as a base, because they intensify the color very well.

Results:
All in all, I’m very pleased with the results. However, I’m going to give it 4 stars, because the eyeshadow falls out badly and the pans are tightly packed. The palette deserves even 4.5 due to its stunning, highly-pigmented shades, nice texture and good staying power
I hope, you find my review helpful
