Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Shu Uemura Shu:Palette Fresh Nudes is a limited edition luxurious eyeshadow palette that features 16 ultra-finely milled nude shades, in 6 different finishes and textures, a full size double-ended brush and a very large mirror on the interior lid of the palette.

This luxe palette is perfect for anyone seeking neutral eyeshadows with highly saturated hues that are sophisticated. elegant, and appropriate for daily wear. The colors are office appropriate, but can easily transition to evening looks as well. The colors range from pale pinks, to warm peaches and terracottas, to glimmering taupes and browns, and each of the shadows is uniformly very finely-milled, and silky smooth to the touch. These shadows deposit color evenly, glide across the skin effortlessly, blend to perfection, and offer buildable coverage without any caking. All of the shadows offer excellent wear-time, particularly when applied over a primer, and all of the hues remain true-to-color all day.

Unlike most brushes that are found in palettes, that tend to leave a lot to be desired, Shu Uemura has included a professional quality double-ended eyeshadow brush that is both highly effective, and very easy to use.

The palette includes a professional double-ended eyeshadow brush, a full size mirror and16 shadows. The 16 shadows include: 4 Metallic (ME), 6 Matte (M), 2 Pearl (P), 2 Glitter (G). 1 Iridescent (IR) and 1 Satin (S).

Eyeshadow Finishes:
• Matte (M): a velvety, even finish gives vivid color with a smooth finish.

    1. It really is an amazing palette, and the textures are so soft and smooth! If you love it, be aware that it is LE, but I completely understand what it's like to save for remodeling!

    1. Hi Rosemary,

      I feel precisely the same! I actually gasped when I opened this beauty up, and I couldn't believe how sublime each of the textures was. Since you are a nude eyeshadow addict, I suspect that you will love this gorgeous palette as much as I do. Plus it's nice that Shu is offering you a GWP! Their quality is just superb across the board, and I am thoroughly obsessed with this palette! If you get it, please let me know what you think about it! Have a lovely Labor Day weekend! <3

    1. I suspect that they sold out. It was a limited edition palette, and I reviewed it a year ago– so I don't think that there is much chance of finding it now. I heard from them the other day, though, and apparently they have some amazing launches coming soon. I will be sure to post about them as soon as I receive more information, and some of the products themselves. I wish that i could help you track down this palette, but I checked both websites (their US and CA sites) and they are no longer listed.
