Eye shadow palettes sometimes feel like they're intended for the experienced beauty junkie who knows what she's doing -- and who's usually also willing to shell out a little more cash on her products.
But quality eye shadow palettes aren't always out of reach. Enter, L'Oréal's La Palette Nude. Each of the two color options (Nude and Nude Intense) comes packed with a mix of 10 shimmery and matte shades that look seriously promising. But does this $19.99 palette deliver the same color payoff, staying power and shade selection of its pricier counterparts?

Simple Enough for Newbies to Use

Blendable Colors That Exceed Expectations
"I am a prestige girl. I haven't touched mass-produced stuff in over a decade because I just didn't like the quality... I'm not exaggerating that this shadow blended better than several of the more expensive shadows I own. Some of those single, more expensive eye shadows cost more than the retail value of this entire palette. What I also love is how true to color the pigmentation is...This was a palette that changed my mind and proved me wrong with makeup that out-performed makeup that cost two or three times as much money." --volta

Packaging That's Sturdy and Sleek
"The compact design was very sleek and had a solid, luxurious feel to it. I got the impression that L'Oréal was trying to distinguish this product from its regular offerings, and in that, they succeeded. I especially liked that the compact had a clear window through which all colors were visible, as well as four different looks printed on the back." --LittleBunny
