This rudey-nudey is an essential for brown eyed babes. Containing 12 shades with earthy hues, theBalm Nude’Tude Palette is our go-to for everyday and night out make-up! For a simple day look, we recommend using the shade ‘sultry’ across the lid, and blending ‘sophisticated’ into the outer corner of the eyes and crease. For an added power pop, bring ‘sophisticated’ down into the outer corner of your lower lash line, and dab a tiny bit of ‘stand-offish’ onto the inner corner of your eyes.

Another palette with 12 shades, The Nudes covers muted neutrals, vanilla beige’s and deep, smokey hues. This palette is ideal for creating a smokey and sultry eye for a night out. Start off with a neutral beige tone across the lid, blending out towards the brow bone. Take a slightly darker brown shade into the outer third and crease of the lid to emphasise the shape of your eyes.
