NABLA Analogue Cutie Palette Review & Swatches

Analogue

NABLA Cosmetics Analogue Cutie Palette ($24.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a warm-toned neutral palette with a mix of finishes that ranged from matte to sparkling. If you’re someone who likes working with more cream-powder kind of eyeshadow formulas or doesn’t mind using fingertips to apply shimmers, the palette might be lovely. Most shades were fairly pigmented and easy to work with, but one shade (Noise) needed to be applied with a fingertip and another (Darkroom) may feel like it has a bit of a learning curve if you haven’t worked with the type of formula before.

Darkroom

Darkroom is a medium-dark brown with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, almost cream-like texture that was denser and firmer in the pan. I’d recommend using more of a pushing motion to pick up product using a denser brush, but it was very blendable once on my skin. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Overexposed

Overexposed is a light-medium pink base with moderate, warm undertones and lighter, gold-to-peach shifting sparkle that gave it a wet-like sheen. The consistency was more emollient, but it wasn’t too thick or too firmly-pressed into the pan, so it was easy to pick up and to apply to bare skin in pressing motions. It had mostly opaque color coverage that was buildable to full coverage with less than a layer. It wore well for eight and a half hours with slight fallout.

Contact Sheet

Contact Sheet is a faded, orange-brown with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was soft, finely-milled, and blendable but was lightly powdery in the pan. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage that adhered evenly to bare skin and stayed on nicely for eight hours.

Formula Overview

$8.00/0.09 oz. - $88.89 Per Ounce

The brand has a few different powder eyeshadow formulations, and because they don't just differ in finish but in price, they're listed as individual formulas on Temptalia, but for ease, I wanted to keep the same overview available so it's easy to get a big picture overview of their powder eyeshadows generally!

Super Matte Eyeshadows are "highly pigmented, completely opaque" with a "full, velvety" finish. The Super Mattes have a more finely-milled, velvety, and more substantial texture compared to the brand's Soft Matte eyeshadows, and I also found that they were much more pigmented than the Soft Mattes, too. There was more fallout during application if I wasn't careful due to the Super Matte shades being so pigmented, though. If one prefers building up coverage, the Soft Mattes would be more suitable. The eyeshadows in this finish tended to wear seven to eight hours on me.

Top Coat Wet & Dry Eyeshadows are supposed to give a "wet effect" and can be used wet or dry but are suggested to be used by "dabbing them on with your fingers" or "trying it wet." I found that these varied--some were really soft, blendable, and extremely pigmented with more fleck-like sparkle and others were drier and firmer with a thinner texture that was stiffer to work with. Most of them did apply best with fingertips or with a dampened brush over a dry brush. This finish is more interesting than the others, but I'd pay attention to the specific shades as there was some inconsistency. The wear time ranged from six to eight hours and slight to moderate fallout.

Satin Eyeshadows are supposed to have a "gentle sheen" with "the finest pearls" that will have "excellent adhesion" and be "long-lasting." They can also be applied wet or dry, and some shades did apply more smoothly or had better pigmentation when applied with a dampened brush, but the majority were easy to work with dry. The texture was smooth, firm but not too dense, and most shades blended out easily as the formula wasn't stiff to work with. Most shades lasted seven to eight hours.

Soft Matte Eyeshadows are supposed to give a "soft and delicate" effect while blending "easily." While the brand mentions "soft and delicate," the swatches they provided of the shades in this finish were showing opaque coverage in one layer, so the expectation would be for true, full color coverage, but a lot of the shades in the finish seemed more muted (which could be interpreted as "soft and delciate"). My experience was that the pigmentation ranged from medium to opaque but most shades were buildable, and I felt like buildable, matte eyeshadows are much needed and quite versatile--there's a huge difference in a poorly pigmented eyeshadow and one that can be pigmented, just requiring two layers--the latter gives one a lot of control over how it can appear in a look. The shades in this finish seemed to fade a little faster on me with six to seven hour wear on average.

Pearl Eyeshadows are supposed to "apply evenly, blend well" with "excellent skin adhesion" and "long-lasting" wear with high pigmentation. These are your m re typical shimmery, powdery eyeshadow formula with light creaminess, moderately dense textures, and are usually quite easy to blend out. Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that lasted between seven and eight hours on me. Some shades were very metallic and others were a soft frost.

Camera Roll

Camera Roll is a medium-dark brown with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation with a soft, lightly powdery texture that was blendable and wasn’t prone to sheering out. I would recommend tapping off excess prior to applying to avoid light fallout. This shade lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Noise

Noise is a medium-dark brown with moderate, warm undertones and flecks of larger sparkle over a more satin-like finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage that was buildable but better applied with a fingertip as the texture was denser, thicker, and firmer in the pan. I found that a fingertip helped to soften the product and help transfer it onto my lid better than when I used a brush (even dampened). There was light fallout present after eight hours of wear.

35MM

35MM is a light gold with moderate, warm undertones and a smooth, metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered evenly and smoothly to bare skin. The texture was moderately dense, more emollient, and felt like a cream-powder hybrid, but it picked up well with a dry brush. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading visibly.
