My experience with ADS Balm Nude Tude Palette:
I have not used the original theBalm Nude Tude Palette so I am going to give share my thoughts on the The ADS Balm Nude Tude Palette as an individual palette altogether. I like the shade varieties, although a few more mattes and lighter shades would have helped. I love the vintage packaging. The brush is not that great in quality but at least they have not provided a plain sponge applicator. Some of the shades are very pigmented and gives incredible intensity in just one stroke. But the shade Sassy & Stand.Offish which are mattes and are very chalky and difficult to work with. The shades have high fall off issue. The shades that I love to work with are Stubborn, Sophisticated, Serious and Sultry. So I would recommend using an eye primer. The shade spread can work great on every skin tone and age.
Rating:4/5
For the price of Rs.499 The ADS Balm Nude Tude Palette is a great value for money. Apart from the Fallout issue and some chalkiness in few shades, I did not find any problem and I would say, although there are many shades absent when you compare with theBalm Nude Tude Palette, it is a great dupe to it and worth every penny.
