PACKAGING:The packaging is simple,fuss free and classy with a matte black rectangular body.However,it is prone t breakage.A plastic flap is placed over the shades with individual shade name written on it.A duo ended sponge applicator is provided which comes handy during emergencies.

SHADES:The Au Naturel palette is a blend of muted and rich warm colors like the autumn. The purple, fawn and various shades of brown in this palette depict the brilliant hues in autumn leaves. The top row of shades are all pretty muted mattes, except Taupe which is shimmery.The bottom row has darker shades which are more pigmented.

MY VIEWS:The shades are smooth in texture but the ones in the upper row are very sheer,un pigmented and need several layers to show up.The bottom row has darker and pigmented shades but repetition of brown makes it dull.

This is more of a matte shades palette. Staying power is around 5-6 hours with a proper base underneath.However,the blend well.

PROS:

  • matte shades great fro daily wear.
  • the shades are soft.
  • the palette is reasonable.
  • All the shades blend well.
  • Stay for about 5-6 hours.

  • The bottom row has mainly browns.
  • The palette has to be ordered online.

 

RATING: 3/5

RECOMMENDATION: I like this palette but I ma not completely wowed by this as it has more mattes and sheer shades.However,if you like matte shades then you should definitely check this out!!!
