Viseart Paris Nude (06) Eyeshadow Palette
Viseart Paris Nude (06) Eyeshadow Palette

Viseart Paris Nude (06) Eyeshadow Palette ($80.00 for 0.84 oz.) is a set of twelve shades, and if you’ve ever longed for a palette of shimmery, mid-tones, this might be the one for you. Viseart’s philosophy is that the palettes are supposed to be mixed (and their roots are as a professional artistry brand that is gaining attention with its availability at Sephora), though you can certainly achieve looks with this palette alone, but if you like a variety in finish, you’ll need to add in your favorite mattes. The palette leans warm overall with a few shades more neutral-to-warm. The texture is soft and blendable with some shades feeling a little dry, dusty, and/or powdery, but these things didn’t translate into application, as they still adhered well to bare skin (no primer) and wore for eight hours or longer. I think they perform better in practice than just swatched, in general. I wish the pans were removable so you could create your own palette of finishes, as I do think that for travel, a set of twelve is a good number, but most will want a few darker and/or matte shades in their look.

Pont des Arts is a soft, light-medium peach with warm undertones and a frosted finish. It had good color payoff with a soft, blendable consistency that adhered well to the skin and lasted for ten hours without fading or creasing. Urban Decay Sin (P, $18.00) is lighter. Disney by Sephora Splendid (LE, ) is lighter. Too Faced Cheers! (LE, $16.00) is lighter. bareMinerals Ball Gown (LE, ) is warmer. Tom Ford Beauty Orchid Haze #1 (P, ) is cooler. bareMinerals Future (P, ) is warmer. Make Up For Ever I520 Pinky Sand (P, $21.00) is lighter, brighter, warmer.

Champs-Elysees is a brightened, light gold with warm, undertones and a pearly sheen. It had decent pigmentation, but it was somewhat powdery to work with, so while it blended nicely, it was messier to work with. On me, it started to fade after eight and a half hours of wear. Disney by Sephora Sand in the Glass (LE, ) is darker. Chanel Pearl River #2 (LE, ) is darker. Makeup Geek Bling (P, $5.99) is darker. Tarina Tarantino Taurella (LE, ) is more shimmery, warmer.

Saint-Honore is a slightly muted, medium-dark rosy brown with warm, coppery undertones and a soft, frosted finish. The texture was soft, blendable, and easy to work with, and it had excellent color payoff that adhered well to the skin and stayed in place for ten hours. CoverGirl Melted Caramel (330) (P, $4.99) is lighter. Clarins The Essentials #9 (LE, ) is darker. MAC Pink Sensibilities #1 (LE, $21.00) is more shimmery, cooler.

Orangerie is a muted, golden brown with warm undertones and a frosted finish. It had nice pigmentation, though the texture was a little dusty in the pan, where it kicked up excess powder. Applied, I didn’t notice the texture as much, and it blended without issue and wore for nine hours. Le Metier de Beaute Goldstone (P, $30.00) is less shimmery, darker, warmer. LORAC Undiscovered (P, ) is lighter, warmer. MAC Her Cocoa #1 (LE, $16.00) is more shimmery. Milani Bella Sand (02) (P, $4.49) is more shimmery, lighter. MAC Rocket Girl (LE, $16.00) is darker.

See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Marais is a medium-dark, copper-brown with warm undertones and a gold, frosted finish. The color coverage was mostly opaque, but this shade also had that slightly dusty, thinner consistency compared to some of the best shades in the palette. In general, even when the shades seem to have a dustier or more powdery consistency, they still performed pretty highly applied to the lid (which is where it really counts!). This shade wore well for nine hours before fading. Sleek MakeUP Sunset #9 (P, $9.99) is darker, warmer. MAC Star Myth (LE, $16.00) is darker, warmer. Anastasia Rum Cake (LE, $12.00) is less shimmery, darker. Cle de Peau #121 (LE, $45.00) is less shimmery, darker. Makeup Geek Glamorous (P, $5.99) is less shimmery.

MAC Mortal #4 (LE, ) is more shimmery, darker. First 15 dupes shown, see more: See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Montaigne is a muted, light-medium golden brown with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had intense pigmentation with a soft, buttery consistency that was a cinch to apply to the skin as it blended easily and went on evenly and smoothly. This shade wore for ten hours before fading. bareMinerals Kudos (LE, ) is lighter. Dior Trafalgar #4 (P, ) is less shimmery. Sleek MakeUP Meet in Madrid (LE, $9.99) is lighter, warmer. Gucci Beauty Antique Gold (P, $37.00) is more shimmery, lighter, cooler. MAC Vicuna (LE, $16.00) is lighter, brighter, warmer. Viseart Ceska (P, ) is lighter. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Vendome is a subdued, medium-dark mauvy purple with warm undertones and gold and purple micro-shimmer that gives it a pearly sheen. It had so-so pigmentation, while the texture was a little thinner and dustier. I found it to be more buildable in nature when working with it on the lid, and it lasted for eight and a half hours on me (which is shorter-wearing relative to the rest of the shades). MAC Universal Appeal (LE, $21.00) is more shimmery, warmer. bareMinerals Violet Spell (LE, $14.00) is lighter. Tarina Tarantino Fantastical #1 (P, ) is less shimmery, lighter.

Cle de Peau Cosmic Aura #3 (P, ) is cooler. MAC Plum Grand (LE, $16.00) is more shimmery, cooler. Cle de Peau Silver Eclipse #2 (P, ) is darker, warmer. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Jeu de Paume is a light-medium, golden khaki with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had good color coverage with a soft, blendable texture that ran a little dusty. Applied, it went on smoothly and evenly and didn’t start to fade until after nine hours of wear. MAC Greenluxe #3 (P, ) is cooler. Kat Von D Delaney (P, ) is more shimmery, cooler. ColourPop Fringe (P, $5.00) is more shimmery, lighter. Hello Kitty Cookie (LE, ) is more shimmery, darker, cooler. Burberry Gold #3 (LE, ) is warmer. Burberry Gold #3 (LE, ) is warmer. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Grand-Palais is a medium-dark brown with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. This shade had semi-opaque color payoff, which could have been much more intense and true-to-pan, as it ran lighter swatched. The consistency was slightly dry and dusty, but at least it still wore for eight and a half hours. Urban Decay Nevermind (LE, $18.00) is darker, warmer. Inglot #402 (P, $6.00) is darker. MAC Havana (P, $20.00) is darker, warmer. MAC Havana (P, $20.00) is darker, warmer. Urban Decay Radar (P, $18.00) is darker, warmer. bareMinerals Schmooze (LE, ) is more shimmery, lighter.

Make Up For Ever D640 Golden Snake (P, $21.00) is warmer. MAC Trusted Instinct #4 (LE, ) is less shimmery, darker. Urban Decay Reign (LE, $18.00) is less shimmery, darker. First 15 dupes shown, see more: See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Saint Germain is a smoked, purple-taupe with warm, brown undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture was a little drier and dusty to work with, so it is best applied by patting it on the lid with a firmer brush to get better color payoff and the least amount of fall out. On the eye, the color wore well for eight and a half hours. MAC Dangerous Cuvee (P, $18.50) is more shimmery, lighter, brighter, cooler. Urban Decay Rockstar (P, $18.00) is lighter, brighter. Urban Decay Darkside (P, $18.00) is less shimmery, warmer. Too Faced Bluff (LE, $16.00) is more shimmery, lighter, brighter. Laura Mercier Violet Steel (LE, $23.00) is less shimmery, darker. MAC Pearled Earth (P, $16.00) is lighter, cooler. MAC Fathoms Deep (P, $20.00) is more shimmery, cooler. Giorgio Armani #16 (P, $32.00) is less shimmery, lighter.

Mmmmm…. I like. This one speaks to me. Understated and lovely. The others have been kind of “meh” for me, but I like this one. Whether or not I’ll spend $80 for it remains to be seen. Might happen though. LOL

Kimmy Avatar

Exactly, Christine. Actually, per shadow and per oz, they are cheaper than MAC shadows and about the same price as MUG shadows. I did this calculation when I reviewed Sultry Muse and Neutral Matte a little while ago. 🙂

Dani Avatar

sorry, I guess I should’ve clarified. In my opinion, for myself, these are super lackluster. The packaging looks super cheap. I guess I just don’t see the value…

Andy Avatar

Well, if the packaging looks cheap, you know you’re actually paying for the shadows itself, not the actual packaging and brand name

Lisa Avatar

These are pretty, but I think I have too many similar colors to justify the $80 … even though I am attracted to the shade names. LOL

Christine Avatar

The packaging to me is the same quality as Dior, Tom Ford, MAC, UD, etc. – I guess I don’t usually see anything at high price point that actually justifies packaging in other brands, so this being functional, slim, and sturdy works for me, lol! There are a few instances like Guerlain Rouge Gs where you can see where some of the money went, but a lot of times, it’s just a plastic component.

Nancy T Avatar

Oh Lawdy, I think I am in love with THIS palette!!!! It has some pretty good dupes of a few on my “wishlist”, too. Saint-Honore looks pretty close to MUFE Silver Brown, which I have wanted from the moment I saw it. And Vendome and Saint Germain would so give me that dusky, smoked purple eye that I love for my kaleidoscoped green eyes!

Lotus Avatar

Beautiful! Yet all I was thinking was how wonderful a highlight palette this would be for a kit! It covers ALL skin tones so nicely! Again, your eye creation is beautiful, C. 🙂

Mariella Avatar

Wow, what a beauty of a palette. The price is pretty steep (though pretty good value for all those shades) and, neutrals lover than I am, I probably have dupes for most, if not all of these but it’s still one of those things I’d love to have just to have them all in one place. Maybe I’ll treat myself for my birthday (which isn’t until October) – since these are permanent, I don’t have to rush out to get it. I would prefer fewer orange toned shades – it’s not a shade I enjoy wearing, but I supposed I could make those colours work.

Christina D. Avatar

I had placed an order for this when it looked like it was finally back in stock on Sephora.com, but I received an e-mail a few days later saying “Sorry, but this item is out of stock” and they cancelled the order. Boo-hoo! I want this as a companion to the Neutral Matte palette which I was able to score. It’s the only shimmery/satin Viseart palette that appeals to me.

Cory Avatar

They did that to me this past September (cancelled my order after 2days) because of MUFE’s D-308 (Aquatic Khaki).
If you contact them, they may be able to expedite the process for you, or at the very least throw you some points for the upset (I know I was devastated when they cancelled my entire order instead of just removing the one shadow).

I have Paris Nude and LOVE it!! Whenever I look at the palette, it takes my breath away. The colors are so gorgeous, and the shimmer is so elegant, radiant and refined, it’s very hard to capture on camera. The colors are on the softer side, but if I’m running late in the morning, I can slap a shade on and still get a very elegant, well blended look. Yes, it is $80, but with 12 shadows, it’s only $ 6.70 a shadow, which is a total bargain considering the quality of this palette. And with primer, these can last +12 hours on my oily lids. I would buy more palettes, but the other palettes look too warm to me, even the cool neutrals.

Katherine T. Avatar

For these shadows, I prefer the Wet- N- Wild Fergie Take On the Day Eye Primer. Both work, but the Bare Minerals 5-in-1 Advanced BB Cream Shadow is thicker and more mattifying, and it takes away some of that smooth, radiant finish that I love.

Jenn Avatar

I have the neutral matte palette and I love it (no fallout, extremely blendable,etc), but I’ve been debating this one b/c of the price. Yes it works out very cheap per shadow, but as you mentioned, I can’t switch them out and create my own palette so I worry that it won’t get much use simply bc I don’t want to carry it around. If the shades could be swapped, I’d totally be sold because theres so much product in one pan, yet it’s still compact and convenient.

Nicole Avatar

This is breathtaking! This,the sultry muse, and the first matte one you reviewed are top of my list. Christine how do you feel these compare to MUFE? Do you think if I wound up buying these(I want to eventually get all that review well) that MUFE would be worthwile still? I ask because I have 12 unopened MUFE shadows. I just haven’t gotten to them with the damage at my home. I was wondering if I should return them and get 4 Viseart palettes. But , ugh…I so love MUFE. Is this better?!

Naila Avatar

I currently own this palette. I agree that the swatches do not do it justice, it’s how they look on the lid that truly demonstrates how beautiful they are. I do agree that the shades can be duped easily. However, for some reason these are the only shadows with a satin/shimmer finish that look this good on my 30 something lids. Thankyou so much for the review! Can’t wait for the rest of your viseart palette reviews 🙂

Katherine T. Avatar

Naila, I have this palette too and totally agree with you! The finish on the lids is amazing. I have a lot of shimmery shadows, and these are the kindest to more mature eyes, I’m +40 BTW. I think it’s because the shimmer is so finely milled.

Telesilla Avatar

The price point is a bit of an issue, but I don’t have a ton of dupes and my birthday’s in six weeks or so, so maybe this can go on my wish list. Also, I’m beginning to think it’s time to start up a spread sheet of eyeshadow colors I have to make it easier to check dupes. Never thought I’d get to that stage. 🙂

Jaz Avatar

HMM. This does look interesting. Now the question is do I want to wait until November( VIB sale ) to get it or do I just pass all together and just get more Inglot shadows for travel?

Lulu Avatar

I do have this palette and the mattes. Okay, 80 bucks is high, but the two together are tremendous, and they blend really well. So that makes it worth it for me. Yes, there are dupes for the colors but not the texture, moderate shimmer, and blend ability. I rarely reach for anything but these two palettes.

Cory Avatar

Wow that second look! It’s right down my alley/def my cup ‘o tea!
I’ve heard great things about the Viseart palettes & am anxiously anticipating your review of the Dark Matte Palette! Oh the glorious shades in that one!

BonnieBBon Avatar

Holy guacamole your eye looks!!! I’m dying! #codeblue You my most trusted makeup resource, are an artiste. So beautiful especially the second, that look seems almost matte but beautifully soft. *sigh* Ive been resisting even though Tara has had me riiiiight at the edge with her raves. I just fell over over the edge with my Sephora app in one hand and my CC in the other lol

Alicia Avatar

Wanted to pop in and tell others that the reason why Viseart charges $80 for this palette is because of the quality. I own three palettes and I do not regret the money for them at all even if I do not personally use all the shades.

These palettes are made for pro makeup artists (therefore the packaging is minimal – it is designed to be compressed into a kit) and the shimmer is very sophisticated, which is why I enjoy the texture of these. I find their texture to be comparable to high end products such as Rouge Bunny Rouge / Burberry eyeshadows but I see them as much cheaper because of the many color options you get.

The reason why they do not sell individuals is because they are manufactured in very small batches, and as a small company it would be too expensive for them to make individuals. The makeup business is very expensive to invest in. But I’m sure as they get more exposure to the consumer public they will be able to make them.

This is really more of a product for professional makeup artist rather than your average consumer. But, I do believe that anybody will be a fan of these if they are into sophisticated textures and subtle colors. These also suit middle aged clients as they do not exacerbate the wrinkles of their eyes.

To me they are not expensive, this is the quality of Burberry eyeshadows at a much more discounted price. Blendability, color, ect. – off the charts.

I agree that a spread from light to dark make the most useable pre-packaged palette. But that said, I have never found th perfect pre-packaged palette!! On my moist recent trips, I took two to three small eyeshadow palettes form either MAC (the Sharon Osbourne and the nude oen from someone else that came out at the same time) , or the Too Faced Neutral Matte and Bonjour palette from last summer. These gave the me range of warm toned shades that I like. With the MAC palettes I had to toss in a ligth matte shadeto use as r a base or a highlight. The Too Faced Palettes handled light to dark pretty well. But as a very fair redhead with hazel green eyes, the peach toned light and brown shades in this palette are beautiful, the other medium shades are dark enough to show up on me and complement the basics very uniquely, and I probably could get a lot of use out of it for travel by just adding a light beige and a dark matte btrown to my make up bag. And if I owned the neutral palette as well, the one with the darker, matte warm neutrals, well then two eye palette would probably be all I ever needed unless I had a horrible purple craving. I’m really glad to see companies releasing products to non professional clientele that give us much more bang for our buck than the usual overpriced luxury lines usually do. Now I do have an unusually (well maybe not here) large collection of eye shadow to use up before ever being in dire need of more palettes, but that probably won’t stop me from buying one or two new ones a year anyway!! Well at least my other expensive hobby is rescuing outside cats.socializing the kittens so they can get adopted, and spay/neuter/vaccinate the ferals so they can live out the rest of their lives in the comfort and luxury of my well fed backyard!! Anyone want a kitten? Three new ones showed up this week, seven weeks old now and gorgeous and almost totally tame!! Two long haired and one short hair! Speaking of expensive hobbies, my husband will kill me if we don’t get these little guys homes, will try to get pix up this week. Amazing, but I think the gene for makeup addiction and the gene for animal loving is on the same chromosome!!! Just look at a bunch of beauty blogs and tell me I am wrong!! Anyway, gorgeour palette, maybe I could own it onw day, I would like to play with it in person. But you have to give Sephora credit for an amazing return policy!!!! Have a great weekend!

Viseart palettes are the one thing I regret not picking up when I was at IMATS this year 🙁 I spent a lot of time swatching at their booth, though LOL They are very nice eyeshadows, but as you said, the swatching with these isn’t necessarily consistent with how they would apply or wear. I think I’m going to check IMATS out in LA next year, take a trip down with my husband & our little dog, so I’m sure I’ll make up for all my missed-out-on purchases then, in a very big way 🙂 IMATS in Canada is a sad, pathetic affair compared to Europe and the US, unfortunately.

This actually looks like it would be an excellent neutral palette for me – I get along with pretty much all of these shades, and the quality is there. I shall have to think about it!
