Not sure what make-up will suit your outfit? No matter your colour scheme, you can’t go wrong with a classic neutral lid that enhances your facial features without washing you out. And, while there’s no such thing as a universal nude, a great neutral eyeshadow palette can offer a balanced combination of nudes that can be combined and blended to compliment your undertones. Having multiple neutrals in one handy palette will also enable you to achieve a variety of different looks, so your look will never be stale. Not sure which nude palette is right for you? Here are 3 of the best barely-there palettes that won’t break the bank.
