I agree with a previous review that stated it has no colour payoff. I couldn't even tell it was on. I will not repurchase.

this is great as a subtle highlighter. i use it under the arch of my brows and slightly above my cheekbones. slightly iridescent, but still natural-looking. i recently got into urban decay shadows and ordered abc gum and blunt, thinking that one of them could replace this shadow. but neither was as good, and i find myself continuing to use this everyday instead.

I originally purchased this as an eyeshadow crease color. Its okay for that it was not all that great i think i can find a better shade for that. I now use this as my highlight and add the product to the top of my cheek bones with my ring finger. Its a ivory color with tiny gold flecks great for highlighting but as an eyeshadow, its kinda boring

A shimmery bone shade. As with most NYX eyeshadow, the pigmentation and blendability is good. The color is nothing unique but I have nothing to fault it, either.

NYX nude is a staple I use it on top of my de-crease for the day as a layer and then choose whatever shade I want to use as a base. Because it is so nude It doesn't really show on an NC20 or higher. It has last me a year and I have not hit pan yet although it is almost there. It lasts for hours. It is very great quality. Packaging rather you depot or not It sits fine in its container alone. I have the nude and light shades all in separate NYX single packages. I think they might have added nudes to a 3 or more palette. NYX are great eye shadows for any kind of mu looks and staple shades for looks NYX has it.
By the photo my shadow looks lighter NYX must of done away with the flat powder nude

I just don't like this color. First of all, it looked like a good match for my skintone in the pan (with a slight pink undertone), but it goes on much lighter and completely neutral (not what I was looking for). Also, it is supposed to be a matte color, but there is definitely a bit of shimmer to it, which I wasn't expecting and don't like. Lastly, it's too soft in the pan, which results in a lot of fallout and makes it difficult to apply evenly to my lids (I've tried several different bases with them and I always wear a primer, and haven't been able to resolve this problem). It might make an okay highlight color, but I didn't buy it for that. No way would I buy this again.

My favorite brow bone highlight color for my NC35 color. This eyeshadow is so soft and smooth and it blends nicely. I have yet to find another.

Love love love this shadow. A great highlight color. Blends nicely like most of the NYX shadows I have. It looks very yellow in the pan but on my skin looks like a light light shimmery skin tone--no brown/taupe quality to it. Also, not overly yellow on my NW25-30 skin. More shimmery than MACs vanilla. Will definitely repurchase.

I love this eyeshadow! I'm a no-makeup-look-but-polished-and-professional fan, and this is my must-have neutral (along with NYX Blondie, and NYX Chocolate as a crease). It works as an all-over wash to make me look so fresh and awake, and it also works as a brightening brow highlight because it's a few subtle levels lighter than my NC35 tone. Love it!

I love this as my highlight when I don't want a highlight lol! It's got a tiny bit of a sheen so it's a step up from using my face powder but it matches my skin tone and blends out harsh edges and goes over imperfections on my brow bone so smoothly (I have found that very frosty pan shadows make my brow bone look dry and cakey). So cheap and wonderful! These shadows are really soft though so be careful!

I love this shade! I've been looking for something that matches my own lid color - and this is it. It gives me a very clean and smooth base and as plain as it seems, it gives me just enough so that I am perfectly happy with this and some mascara. It's a clean and natural look. I'm NC 43 for reference.

A pale silky cream color, too bad it doesn't have more pigment I have to layer this on but once I do it gives a nice clean look, evens out discoloration, similar to Milani's discontinued e/s in Almondine.. Packaging is similar to MAC's but this one is square, neither are that pretty or sleek really but NYX is right up there with MAC as far as quality, and they have a wide color range.

I am really liking these eye shadows. They have such a nice range of colors, silky-smooth textures and good color pay-off. "Nude" is a pale, buttery cream with just the barest hint of peach/tan. It is rather sheer, and requires some layering when I apply with a brush to show up. It's a very basic shade, nothing special, but inexpensive and good quality. Why pay more than two or three bucks for such a color?

This is not a good color for us DDD. Excellent quality for an affordable price($3). Will be wonderful for PPP, LLL, MMM, etc...Finely milled. Feels like silk.

I use this all the time. I have a lot of nudes but this is the only one that is "perfect" so far. Nude is just dark/pigmented enough to show up on my nw20 skin. It probably wouldn't show up well if your skin is much darker. It's pale cream with a very slight shimmer. Great texture and blends well. I have almost all of he NYX e/s and this is my fave for a neutral eye.

Nude is exactly like its namesake: nude. It matches my lid color exactly, so this would make a great base. However, it still is a bit too blah for me. Still great NYX quality though, nice texture, long-lasting, no creasing, lovely pigment. I just don't reach for this too often. If you're looking for a nice neutral or base shade, this is a good one to consider!

This is a typical neutral-nude shade, with no distinctive sheen or shimmer. I was hoping that Nude would be a pearly-nude shade, but it appears very matte on my eye lids, and the same colour that my eye lids already are. I have several nude shades like this from other brands, so I did not really need to purchase Nude, though I will say that the smooth creamy texture of this powder eye shadow is fantastic. If you need a nude shade this would fill the need sufficiently, but if you already own plenty of nudes you can pass this one up.
