The best way to get a gleaming, natural, and nude eye is with the help of a palette with all the proper shades. Racked trendwatcher Donna Kim picks six of her favorite nude eye shadow palettes that are in stores now.
1. Shiseido “Luminizing” satin eye color trio, $33 at nordstrom.com: The smooth texture of these eyeshadows does not require a base, and the darkest shade can be used as a liner.
2. Philosophy “The supernatural windows to the soul” eye shadow palette, $30 at nordstrom.com: These fade-resistant, wet-to-dry powder shadows look great blended.
3. Trish McEvoy “Beauty Emergency Card” eye shadow palette, $38 at nordstrom.com: Includes eight different shades of nude in shimmer and matte textures, and this all-in-one eye color set is ideal for brow shaping.
4. Too Faced “Naked Eye Soft & Sexy” eyeshadow collection, $35 at
sephora.com: This set of nine eyeshadows also includes a “Get-The-Look” instruction card for achieving a sexy nude eye.
5. Urban Decay, “Naked” palette, $44 at sephora.com: The palette features twelve neutral shadows and a travel-sized primer to achieve all kinds of nude
eye looks.
6. Guerlain “Ecrin 6 Coleurs” eyeshadow palette, $84 at sephora.com: Six shades of iridescent and matte shadows that all complement each other—each shadow can also be worn alone.
