bareMinerals Gen Nude Neutral Eyeshadow Palette | Review and Swatches

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

There is absolutely no shortage of neutral eyeshadow palettes on the market, and they range from the most affordable drugstore versions to the most expensive luxury variants. I thought that I would feature one of my favorites that offers a mid-range price point with uncompromisingly high quality shadows. bareMinerals Gen Nude Neutral Eyeshadow Palette features a combination six ultra-finely milled powder shadows in matte, satin and metallic finishes, and each one of them is ultra-silky to the touch.

All six of the shades glide across the skin effortlessly, deposit color evenly and blend to perfection. I find that I get all day wear, without a primer, and these shadows do not crease or migrate, but I do not have oily eyelids, and therefore your wear may vary.
According to bareMinerals,

The GEN NUDE® collection is all about good-for-skin nudes made for every skin tone. With GEN NUDE® Eyeshadow Palettes, we're making it easy to create natural eye looks, glam smoky eye looks, and everything in between. Each palette features six neutral-toned matte, satin and metallic eyeshadows. The long lasting eyeshadow colors are highly pigmented, with mineral-rich ingredients, including cucumber extract that sooths and depuffs the eye area, moisturizing borage oil for softer skin, and antioxidant-rich algae that helps to protect skin. These eyeshadows are crease- and smudge-resistant to ensure your eyes look flawless all day long.
Features:
- Long lasting formula is crease-resistant and smudge-resistant.
- Four different palettes ensure there is a natural-looking eyeshadow assortment for every skin tone.
- Cucumber extract sooths and depuffs the eye area.
- Cold-pressed borage oil hydrates and softens the eye area.
- Antioxidant-rich algae helps to protect delicate skin around the eye area from environmental stressors.

  1. I'm a fan of BM Gen Nudes entire line. So I agree that there are so many neutral palettes, but this one is a lovely combo of shades. And the small portable size would suit me as well!

    1. I agree, the entire Gen Nude range is quite nice. This is definitely a really lovely, and infinitely wearable, palette. I am very pleased by the quality and the ultra-finely milled texture. Definitely a worthwhile neutral palette for anyone who is looking for a really nice one!

  2. I wasn't a fan of the loose mineral shadows but their pressed ones are great. I bought the holiday palette with a variety of colors and love changing up my look. They do last well.

    1. Loose mineral shadows are definitely harder to work with than their pressed shadows. I don't have their holiday palette, but it is very pretty. this one is a great go-to neutral palette.

    1. It is great for travel, an, in fact, I took it on my last overnight trip. I don't find that the shadows themselves are small, but the compact definitely isn't that big.

  5. I bought the Gen Nude Rose palette and was disappointed with it. The colors faded on me. I love the Gen Nude lipsticks and blushes though!

    1. That's too bad that their Rose Palette fell short. I didn't experience that with this one, but I don't have any of the other palette for a comparison. I am glad that you love their Gen Nude lipsticks and blushes! Their blushes are awesome!
