Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms! My Mom are having a movie night and I'm cooking a very Spring appropriate dinner for us- baked salmon with steamed asparagus and roasted rosemary-garlic baby potatoes. And there might just be a little tiramisu for dessert... But of course, there is always a little time to get a blog post in and today brings us two gorgeous neutral palettes from Avon's new Perfect Nude Shades collection of True Colour Eyeshadow Quads. Read on!
Avon has released four new neutral palettes into the True Colour Eyeshadow Quad range and I have to say, I am quite impressed with the two I've tried. First up, is Naked Truth, which is the lighter, more subtle selection of the two. It's made up of four shades that co-ordinate to make for neutral look that brightens and opens the eye. I like to pair it with little bit of black cat-eye liner for a little extra definition- as seen a little later in action. It's also the perfect palette to pair with bold lips.
The shades in these palettes all have names, which is a nice touch, and are numbered to make application as easy as following the diagram on the back of the palette if you need a little help. The palettes alos have a variety of different finishes. Shimmering Beige is a light beige shade with a shimmery satin finish. Peach Sparkle is a light peach satin that applies more like a matte (and isn't actually sparkly.) Glimmering Sand is slightly rosey tan satin followed up by Coffee a medium depth chocolate shimmer with golden tones.
Grin & Bare It is made up of deeper, golden nude shades. Bronzed is a warm golden bronze satin, Burnished Copper is a red toned brown with golden undertones. Patina is an antique gold shade with olive undertones and in simply stunning- I loove this shade! Followed up by Sahara Sunset is a deeper taupey brown with golden shimmer but applies more like a matte. While I love the shades in this palette, for my use, it lacks a lighter highlighting shade, so I tend to borrow Shimmering Beige from the Naked Truth palette.

Overall, you can't go wrong with either of these palettes! The shadows are all nicely pigmented and smooth, although they do kick up a bit of powder which can lead to fall out when applying, so a flat brush and a packing technique works best. You really can't beat the price, and really, who doesn't love a good neutral? What do you think of the shades? Yay or nay?
