Swatches & Review: Soap & Glory Lid Stuff in What's Nude

I've got some swatches of a really nice palette for you today, Soap & Glory's Lid Stuff quad in What's Nude.

This is a really nice palette for everyday/wearable looks, and one thing I especially like is that 3 out of the 4 shades are matte. This makes them more office appropriate for most people, and won't draw attention to any lines and wrinkles around the eye area.




The four colours are Vanilla; a matte creamy highlight shade, Pink T; a matte pinky beige slightly darker than my skintone, Mudhoney; a matte medium greyish brown, and Aubersheen; a shimmery/sheeny taupey brown.

Swatches from L-R: Vanilla, Pink T, Mudhoney, Aubersheen.

The shadows all have a really nice texture and are very pigmented. The mattes are nice and soft and blend fairly easily, something which you don't often find in cheaper/drugstore brand eyeshadows. Mudhoney would work as a subtle eyeliner, but I would perhaps have preferred a darker brown for this use. However you could use this as an eyebrow powder or in the crease, so you have a few options.

Overall I think this is a really nice product and I would definitely try more Soap & Glory makeup products. Lid Stuff retails at £10 and is available from Boots.

Ulta blush, can't remember the shade
