| Rimmel Magnif'Eyes Nude Edition Eyeshadow Palette ($7.99) Product provided for review |
Neutral/nude palettes have been around for a while now, and there is a version or two by every brand. Despite that, I am always happy to try out the next new "Nude" palette, especially when it's by a brand that's easy on the pocket like this Magnif'Eyes Nude Edition eyeshadow palette by Rimmel. The Magnif'Eyes eyeshadow palettes are available in 5 color themes - Nude (pictured above), Smoke (as the name suggest, a darker smokier collection), Spice (warm neutrals – I really wanted this but couldn't find it at my local Target), Blush (rose/plum-toned neutrals), and Color (this one has some brighter shades – teal, copper, gold, along with some neutrals and darks). I got to try out the Nude edition (thanks to PR folks), and for my medium-dark skin tone, this works great as a soft-neutral eyeshadow palette. Scroll on for swatches and photos.

On my medium-dark skin tone, this colors in this palette show up as soft-neutral tones. There are some lovely shimmery copper and browns in here, but the taupes and grays are my favorites. The eyeshadows feel soft and are reasonably pigmented. I do think they perform best over a primer and/or when layered with an eyeliner. The swatches below are on dry skin – no primer, no moisturizer, and I haven't wet the eyeshadows.

Rimmel's Nude edition Magnif'Eyes eyeshadow palette is a great pick if you are looking for easy-to-wear neutrals, eyeshadows that would be great for a daytime, soft smokey eye, and also a great pick if you want an inexpensive neutral eyeshadow palette. Paired with a darker eyeliner, this palette can also be used for darker makeup looks. The eyeshadows do need a primer and show up best when layered, but for the price, I find these pretty awesome. I am a bit biased, though, because these are the sort of colors that I reach for most often. My go-to makeup look would be one or two of these shadows used all over the lid and a darker eyeliner smudged along the lashline, and this palette is perfect for a simple eye makeup look like that.

As is perhaps the case with every other neutral-nude eyeshadow palette out there, I have seen reviews mentioning this as similar to the Urban Decay Naked palette. I don't think this is a close enough dupe, and the eyeshadows in the pricier UD version are more pigmented (in my opinion), but I don't own any of those palettes, and really for the price, the Rimmel palettes are a great substitute :D
