Physicians Formula Nude palette vs. Hard Candy 524 Naturally Gorgeous Palette!!!!!

LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL THESE TWO ARE!!

Today I will be doing a review on both the Physicians Formula Nude eyeshadows palette and the new Hard Candy 524 Naturally Gorgeous eyeshadow palette.

 

To start off with lets compare packaging. As you can see up above they both have sexy lace accents, the Hard Candy is a bit bigger,  P.F. shadows are much smaller.

The Hard Candy was available at Walmart for $6, while the Physicians Formula can usually be found at any drugstore for $11.

In the Hard Candy there are 10 shades while the P.F. has 9.

 

Next lets compare pigmentation and quality!!

 

First off these both contain shimmer except for the last shade in the P.F. palette.

To begin with the pigmentation is GREAT with these as well as they are a soft smooth consistency and easy to blend. The shade variety in this palette is almost comparable to the Urban Decay Naked Palette minus the one or two mattes. When I tried to remove them they were rather hard to remove so im assuming great staying power. You could easily do a "are you wearing eyeshadow" look to a "WOW! Your eyes look amazing" soft smoky eye with this palette.

The shades are again easy to blend, great pigmentation, very shimmery, soft and smooth consistency. HOWEVER the lasting power just is not there...and the colors have pinkish undertones. So not a great variety of nude colors, I mean the first 5 and the 7th color look almost the same(especially on the eyes). This palette would probably be good for a beginner or younger teen because of the subtleness of the colors. Nude colors are supposed to accentuate not hide with shimmer!!

 

 

 

All in all though I like both, just the Hard Candy 524 Naturally Gorgeous palette a little bit more <3
