Huda Beauty Nude Obsessions Palette

I adore this palette. It is intensely pigmented, featuring metallic shimmers in warm yellow and rose gold tones, rustic copper, dusty pink, coral and unique terracotta shades. This palette was my first ever purchase from Huda Beauty. I picked it up in Boots on a display that was half empty, a testament to how sought after this brand is! My first impression was how unbelievably rich the pigment of the shadows were. The colours apply seamlessly, blend effortlessly together and you get an intense colour pay off using very minimal effort. These palettes are created to suit every skin tone and eye colour, personally I have blue eyes and the copper shimmer in this palette really makes them stand out. The compact is small, so it’s easy to carry around and it comes with a mirror inside. I find these shades to be incredibly long wearing, especially the shimmer/glitter shades. I love that you don’t lose the intensity or sparkle as the day or night goes on. 

The Shades

(Following Swatches from Top to Bottom)
1 - This is a matte shade which I would describe as a warm orange-brown. 
2 - This is an intensely rich metallic shade which is more golden with a hint of copper.
3 - This is another matte shade with more of a warm undertone. It is a slightly warmer terracotta.
4 - Another matte shade this time with a hint of coral and a  light pink.
5 - My Favourite Shade! This is a warm, very pigmented copper with intense colour pay off that I adore.
6 - This is the darkest matte shade in the palette. It’s a warm red-brown. 
7 - A beautiful pink shimmer with flecks of rose gold when it catches the light. 
8 - Another matte shade which I think is more cool toned than shade one as it’s more of a dusty pink.
9 - This is the darkest metallic shade in the palette. It’s a rich, warm plum but when swatched on my paler skin comes across more bronze with plum flecks. 
All shades are very pigmented especially 2 and 5. They’re easy to apply, blend out effortlessly and I didn’t notice any fall out after use. I also love the texture of the metallic shades, there is no grains or particles that aren’t finely milled and they apply so smoothly.

How to Apply?

For the metallic shades, I found it best to apply using my fingers. This gave me the strongest intensity very quickly. For the matte shades, I liked to use a flat shader brush to apply and then a blending brush to diffuse the product out for a seamless blend. I didn’t find the need to apply a base or a primer first, however if you struggle with the longevity of your shadow maybe consider using an eye primer or setting the eye with some concealer and powder before hand. For me, just the shadows alone lasted hours without loosing any intensity or pigment.
