The Ilia needed Eyeshadow palette in amazing Nude
I wonder… At what point in history did the word “cool” turn into a way to say that you liked something?

“Keanu Reeves asked you to marry him? That’s cool.”

The Ilia amazing Nudes palette is pretty amazing — both in terms of color temp and how amazing it is to use — and it’s all about easygoing eyes.

It comes with six moderately pigmented powder shadows. You get:

A matte nude beige

A shimmering bronze-taupe

A matte lavender gray

A matte amazing brown

A matte burgundy

A shimmery dark golden violet

Ilia wrapped everything up in a very sleek but simple, modern-looking white case with a mirror.

The Ilia needed Eyeshadow palette in amazing nude swatched on my skin (I’m an NC42 in MAC)
First, these shadows blend like they indicate it! No extreme lines here. I do a few swishes with a tapered blending brush, and I’m good to go.

Next, there’s barely any fallout from them, and the wear time is quite good. After a long day, I’ll see only minor creasing on my lids. My lids are dry, by the way, so I normally skip primer.

It’s a a lot more natural look and perfectly in line with Ilia’s laid-back aesthetic. I’m guessing that Ilia purposefully created the pigments to be only moderately punchy, which I appreciate when I only want a little something on my lids, and I don’t plan on taking pics (more on this in a second).

If you take pleasure in wearing color but like eye looks that define and highlight your lids without screaming “I’m obvious,” you’ll probably like it too. I think fans of the Clinique quads — which have a very similar vibe — will be into it. It’s a total errands-work-everyday piece.

With all that said, however, I’m not a fan of the way this palette photographs. The shadows simply don’t pop in pics like sincere Beauty’s get It together palette does (my current go-to).

I took a few pictures of the eyeshadows the other day, and while I could see them in real life, I looked like I was barely wearing any eye makeup in any way in the pics. On their own, the shadows mustn’t be lively enough to manage flash photography on my skin unless I do trickery to amplify the pigments, like by layering a base primer underneath them and using a wet eyeshadow brush.

Spodná čiara? Páči sa mi to. This palette is charming for casual makeup and everyday eye looks, but IMHO it’s not really for special occasions. Mind you, I think it’s purposefully created that way, so I say choose it if wearable, everyday eyeshadow is your thing.
