Review & Swatches: Cheap Thrills with a Perfectly Nude Eye Look courtesy NYX Eyeshadow Pure Skin

I’m kinda on this kick where I’m loving on shades that brighten my eyes up but are barely there. Bobbi Brown Nude Beach and Navajo are two plus I love Laura Mercier Eye Canvas and Trish McEvoy’s Eye Base Essentials.

What are your fav barely there eyeshadow shades?

My newest pick is NYX Eyeshadow in Pure Skin.

Love!

NYX Pure Skin is a creamy matte beige shade. I know, I know you must be thinking, “What? Matte? Not you Muse!” but I actually like this formula a lot.

This is very silky with a smooth feel and it applies quite beautifully. No patchiness, no dryness, this is how all mattes should be. Have you ever run into terribly dry matte shades that apply absolutely awful? It really makes you hate on the finish in a major way. Pure Silk will convince you that matte’s aren’t all that evil after all.

The shade brightens eyes up with a barely there finish that provides just enough shadow to give you a natural, subtle look but plenty of pop that you can obviously see you’re wearing makeup in an elegant, no nonsense way.

Personally, Pure Skin feels like one of those essential shades everyone should own.

Gorgeous.
