So today I'm going to change it up a bit and write a blog about make-up because I don't know about you, but I just get really inspired when it comes to anything that has to do with make-up. I just purchased the Maybelline New York Blushed Nudes Palette. Now Maybelline is my favorite drug store brand in make-up so obviously I had to pick up the palette and try it out. I love the palette so far and have created some pretty and simple looks with it. My only complaint about it is that some of the colors are not as pigmented as others and you really have to swipe your brush in there to get a lot of color on it. I find that the lighter colors are the ones you have to really dig into to get that good color.
Now if you are looking for a good dupe for the Naked 3 palette, you can't go wrong with the Blushed Nudes Palette. This palette has a lot of similar colors as the naked 3 palette and it's at a cheaper price too. I payed about $10 dollars for the blushed nudes palette and the naked 3 palette is around $50 dollars.
The Maybelline Blushed Nudes Palette is truly a great palette if you want to get subtle looks but still have that smokey eye. I'm the kind of person who loves a good smokey eye but I don't look good in the darker colors like blacks and blues. My skin tone is to pale for the darker colors so I try to stick to the nude colors and play around with them but it's hard trying to find a palette that has different choices of colors in them. Most of the palettes today have the same colors in them so it's nice that there is now a palette out that has changed it up a bit and added some newer colors to its display.
Here are a few pictures of myself wearing a subtle smokey eye from the Maybelline Blushed Nudes Palette.
I am not an expert when it comes to applying make-up so I just do what I think looks good for me. I get a lot of my inspiration from YouTube. I love to watch the girls of the beauty community and get tips and tricks from them about how to apply make-up or what products are new and what is good or not so good. I will list a few channels that I love to watch for make-up tutorials below so you can check them out if you want to.
YouTube Beauty Channels that Inspire me:
1. Ciaoobelllaxo-This girl is AMAZING when it comes to applying make-up and coming up with new looks. She is a licensed cosmetologist and she has tons of videos and tips for doing your make-up. She is the first channel I will go to for inspiration.
2. Casey Holmes- She is another amazing beauty guru who has tons of tips to offer when it comes to doing make-up, plus she's from Georgia like me so that's another reason to go check her out...haha!!!!
3. Kait Nichole- Another great person to get tips from is this girl. She has her own lip stick line too. She has some amazing videos on her channel and she is very entertaining.
Okay, so I hope you all will go purchase the Maybelline Blushed Nudes Palette and try it out. It is one of my favorite palettes that I own and it really is amazing. Let me know in the comments what you think of it.
Until next time,
