The Balm's Product Description:
This amazing palette consists of 12 beautiful shadows that make wearing nudes sexy! These satiny smooth colours can be applied naturally, i.e. "let me slip into something comfortable" or beautifully layered. The wide range gives you light highlighters as well as brazen bold shades that work to add definition and emphasis to your lids. Nude 'tude allows you to dramatically dress up your eyes - if nothing else!
There are 2 versions of the Nude 'tude palette: the naughty and the nice. Both versions contain eyeshadows that are exactly the same in quality, pigmentation and colour. The version that I bought is the 'nice palette'.
Every time I see a neutrals palette, my first instinct would be to compare it to my beloved Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palettes. Because of the more wallet friendly price tag, I was really hoping that this palette would be a 'cheaper' alternative to the Naked Palettes when it comes to neutral eyeshadows.
My verdict? I still prefer my Urban Decay ones over the Nude 'tude palette.
My thoughts ...
Pros:
- very pigmented (the swatches below are not applied over a primer)
- blendable
- good colour range
- nice mix of matte and satin finish eyeshadows
- long wearing and crease free (with eyeshadow primer underneath)
- the palette is very slim and light (good for travelling)
- friendlier price tag (sometimes available on Hautelook)
- friendlier price tag (sometimes available on Hautelook)
Cons:
- the 4 darker shades on the right-end of the palette are more 'dry' and stiff compared to the rest
- overall, the eyeshadows are not as creamy/buttery as those from the Urban Decay Naked Palettes
- there is less product in the Nude 'tude palette compared to the Naked Palettes (11.08g vs 15.6g)
- shadows are very soft and powdery: make sure you tap off the excess before applying or else there will be a lot of fallout

Final Verdict:
Nude 'tude is definitely a great neutral eyeshadow palette; however, if I could only choose one and I had enough money to invest a bit more into a palette, I would 100% choose any of the Urban Decay Naked Palettes over this one simply because I like the colours and the creaminess of those eyeshadows much more than the ones from Nude'tude.
