Review Summary

NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette in Warm Neutrals offers impressive quality at a fraction of the price of luxury palettes. The 16 shades span a range of warm browns, coppers, and golds in both matte and shimmer finishes. For a drugstore palette, the pigmentation is surprisingly good—the shimmers are particularly impressive with their metallic shine. The shadows are blendable and buildable, allowing for both subtle and bold looks. The palette's large size and variety of shades make it excellent value for beginners or those wanting to experiment with warm tones without breaking the bank. However, the quality is inconsistent across shades—some apply smoothly while others are chalky or patchy. The mattes generally require more building than the shimmers, and there's moderate fallout during application. The plastic packaging feels budget-friendly and lacks a mirror, making it less ideal for travel. Despite the inconsistencies, this palette punches well above its price point and serves as an excellent introduction to warm eyeshadows.
