TheBalm Nude Beach Eyeshadow Palette (Vol. 3)

A few weeks ago, TheBalm launched their third Nude eyeshadow palette! The Nude Beach palette features 12 beautiful neutral shades with matte and shimmery finishes.

I haven't compared the ingredient lists, but it feels like TheBalm has improved its eyeshadow formula! The shimmery eyeshadows feel creamier to the touch, and the mattes are way more silky smooth.

Don't get me wrong, I still love my other TheBalm eyeshadow palettes but this one is superior in term of quality!

Most of the colors are super pigmented! Brave and Brazen applied evenly on the lid without looking patchy, which is sometimes the case with dark matte colors. These two shades are less pigmented than I expected, especially compared to the rest of the shades, but it wasn't an issue when I used an eyeshadow primer.

Buff is the only disappointing shade. Beautiful color, but something is wrong with the formula. I can barely pick up any product on my brush and it gets worse after each use. There's a weird film on the surface of the eyeshadow now, it almost feels waxy?!

I fell in love with this eyeshadow palette! I love all the shades (except the strange one), and I can see myself using it a lot in the future.

This is the kind of palette you can use on its own, every neutral shade you may need is right there!

Brilliant is a light beige with a matte finish.
Buff is a golden peachy pink with a shimmery finish.
Brainiac is a copper red with a shimmery finish.
Babe is a light golden beige with a frosty finish.
Bright is a dusty rose with a matte finish.
Brave is a deep plum with a matte finish and a few tiny shimmers.

Built is a golden champagne with a shimmery finish.
Bodacious is a burnt orange brown with a matte finish.
Bootylicious is a coppery reddish bronze with a shimmery finish.
Bold is a light brown with a matte finish.
Breathtaking is a coppery gold with a metallic finish.
Brazen is a ash brown with a matte finish.

The TheBalm Nude Beach Eyeshadow Palette retails for $36 US for 9.6g.
