 THE VERDICT:

My thirst for indie makeup brands has led me to discovering a neutral palette that I dub as the best eyeshadow palette for 2016, Juvia's Place The Nubian. I first saw it on Nikkie Tutorials and I thought what nice copper shades this palette has, thus it has been on my mind for quite some time now. A friend who took the plunge and bought this palette was kind enough to let me swatch hers and immediately, I was sold! Juvia's Place The Nubian is super, duper pigmented neutral eyeshadow palette with colors that appear true to the pan and pop beautifully on the skin!

JUVIA'S PLACE THE NUBIAN IN DETAIL

Although relatively new, Juvia's Place is quickly gaining ground as one of the favorite eyeshadow palettes online. Highly pigmented, creamy, and claims to have intense wearability.


Juvia offers three palettes: Nubian (this), Masquerade (Pink), and 2nd Edition (Yellow). I opted for this one because I only prefer wearing neutrals nowadays. Product comes in a sturdy, carton case with magnetic closure.

Ingredients

No mirror for this palette though. Awww!

The palette contains 4 matte and 8 shimmery pearl textured colors (but they look like metal to me anyway).

 Top row, left to right: pale gold, amber, sand beige, peach champagne.

These are the light transition colors; best applied on top of the overall eye makeup look for an extra or different kick of color.

 Center row, left to right: peach pink, bronze gold, copper, rusty copper

My most favorite row! I've long been looking for rusty copper shades and this palette has the ones I've been looking for!

Bottom row, left to right: bronze- brown, midtone brown, charcoal brown, brown taupe

The dark transition matte colors were wonderfully selected to give eyes a deeper look.

The eyeshadows are extremely pigmented, creamy, true to color, and texture is creamy; swatches may look chalky, but when applied on the eyes, the products yield minimal fall out and cling really well on the skin. Products have no fragrance.

JUVIA'S PLACE THE NUBIAN EYESHADOW PALETTE IN ACTION

I've used a primer with the eyeshadows in this look and colors got even more intense and I felt that wear time got even better. Check out how the colors pop out nicely on their own; it's so easy to create instagrammable eye makeup looks with this palette because pigmentation is so superb, all the colors appear vibrant on the skin!

Some really great things I love about this palette:

1. Affordable.
2. Has a great selection of earth hues.
3. Has the truest coppers I've seen!
4. The array of light transition colors are exactly what I'm looking for (love the Amber shade) and best part is the colors appear on any skin tone whether fair, medium, or dark.
5. The powder have a slight staining effect, a sign that even if worn on its own, it may last long.
6. The metallic/shimmery pearl shades produce an intense, high- shine, liquid shimmer- like effect; it's really great for bringing out the eyes and this exact effect is what I've always wanted to achieve with eyeshadow.

Con? Just the availability of this palette. I can't think of anything negative to say about the quality of the product because it is really damn good; it's the eyeshadow of my dreams and I'm happy that it turned into reality. Juvia's Place The Nubian Eyeshadow palette is for ladies who love wearing eyeshadow and are looking for metallics that are true to the core. I am highly recommending this!
