With the exception of formal events, chances are your daily beauty routine consists of trying to achieve as pretty and natural a face as possible. And when you want to look effortlessly beautiful, nude or neutral eyeshadow is one of the best tools in your makeup kit. A simple swipe of taupe, bone, beige, or bronze can revitalize your appearance and open up your eyes, making you look fresh and glowy. Of course, the key is finding a nude palette that is exciting and stylish. Here are 8 nude eyeshadow palettes that win us over every time.
Urban Decay Naked3
Because "nude" doesn't always have to mean countless takes on the same worn-out beige, Urban Decay shows the world that rose-hued neutrals can be universally flattering and extremely wearable. This collection of 12 gorgeous shades, with not a filler in the mix, consists of everything from light, shimmery pink to the hottest black matte with red microglitter you've ever laid eyes on.

Sonia Kashuk sticks to mostly light peachy and skin-kissed matte shades, with a dramatic grey and black thrown in for good measure. This palette contains 12 mix-and-match shadows and is perfect for women who'd rather keep their shimmer and glitter separate from no-nonsense daytime shades.

Consider this palette of 14 neutral shades your ultimate intro kit to all things nude. The shades are so well organized that you'll know in a jiffy which matte nude corresponds to its glittery cousin so that no mistakes can be made.
