Minimal-Makeup Lovers, Take Note—These Nude Eye Shadow Palettes Are the GOAT
I think I've talked enough about how much I love a minimal, no-makeup makeup look. I'm not the type of person who has the patience or the energy to spend hours painstakingly creating an intricate makeup look, so more often than not, I like to keep it pretty simple. that means some concealer (or foundation if I need a bit more cover-up), mascara, and blush. And on the rare occasions I want to take it up a notch, I do all three plus some highlighter, eyeliner, and eye shadow.
And when it comes to eye shadows, you can find me gravitating towards neutrals and nudes instead of bright and bolder hues. These palettes are ones that get a lot of usage because they're so versatile—they work for just about any look and occasion. Trust me, when you buy a nude eye shadow palette, it practically pays for itself.
