Charlotte Tilbury The Super Nudes Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

The Super Nudes

Charlotte Tilbury The Super Nudes Easy Eye PaletteCharlotte Tilbury The Super Nudes Easy Eye Palette ($57.00 for 0.19 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette featuring six neutral shades in a new, matte formula. The brand described it as “velvet matte” with rich, “long-lasting pigment[s].” It had more of the feel of a cream-powder formula, though I might say 25-30% cream-like, so with noticeable creaminess and glide but still had more of a powder-like application. If you often find mattes look powdery and/or dry once applied, these might have that extra creaminess (without being a true cream product) to be more flattering on (with regard to texture).

For those who prefer building, the texture was particularly well-designed for that purpose because of the lack of powderiness and slightly firmer feel (though not stiff and very blendable). They had mostly opaque to opaque coverage that stayed on well for eight hours. The color story will likely be a workhorse for some people, but it is very light-leaning. For as edited as it is, I felt like the first two shades of each trio seemed overly similar to each other.

Super Nudes Day Eye (Prime)

Super Nudes Day Eye (Prime) is a darker, peachy orange with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation paired with a soft, smooth texture that felt a touch drier compared to the other shades and had a minute amount of powderiness present in the pan. The eyeshadow applied evenly to bare skin and blended out without difficulty. There were signs of fading present after eight hours of wear.

Super Nudes Day Eye (Enhance)

Super Nudes Day Eye (Enhance) is a light-medium, orange-brown with moderate, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had rich color coverage that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out readily without losing its intensity. The texture was smooth to the touch, firm but not overly thick or stiff, so there was no powderiness but I didn’t struggle to pick up product. It wore nicely for eight hours before fading visibly.

Super Nudes Day Eye (Smoke)

Super Nudes Day Eye (Smoke) is a muted, medium-dark brown with subtle, warm rosy undertones and a satin finish. The texture was lightly creamy, smooth, and velvety without being too thick or too firmly-pressed into the pan that it was difficult to pick up with a brush. It had opaque color payoff that lasted well for eight hours before fading somewhat.

Super Nudes Date Eye (Prime)

Super Nudes Date Eye (Prime) is a light beige with moderate, warm undertones and a satin finish. The shimmer wasn’t noticeable when applied, but it gave it a smoother finish, not fully matte but not actually shimmery either. It had a soft, velvety texture that wasn’t powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan but was thin and lacked some of the thickness of other more dimethicone-heavy formulas. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Super Nudes Date Eye (Enhance)

Super Nudes Date Eye (Enhance) is a darker beige with a hint of yellowy-brown and a satin finish. It had opaque color coverage with a soft, smooth consistency that was velvety and had light glide to it that sat particularly well on bare skin. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Super Nudes Date Eye (Smoke)

Super Nudes Date Eye (Smoke) is a medium-dark black with neutral undertones and a semi-matte finish. The eyeshadow had a smooth, lightly emollient texture that felt almost plush to the touch–where you could feel it press in a bit but not enough that it left a visible indent behind–that had great adhesion to bare skin and blended out readily. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that lasted well for eight hours before showing signs of fading.
