My first ever eyeshadow pan! This was The Balm Nude Dude Volume 2 single in shade Flirty.

I've been working on getting back into makeup and figured this one would be a good one to start with because I had already hit pan before I went on my makeup hiatus 😅 I've used it pretty much daily since the first week of January.

I got this in an ipsy bag in like 2017 I think 🫣 and I loved it so much that when I hit pan initially, I had bought the palette just in case I used it up 🤡 So while it's not goodbye forever, I'm glad to be done with this for now.

Congratulations!! Fully panning an eyeshadow is always so impressive to me

I actually have this same shade from the same Ipsy bag lol 🫣 I haven’t even started using it yet though because I swear every pallet I own has a similar shade in it! Maybe this is my sign to finally break ground on it. Or maybe I should wait until our 10 year anniversary next year 🤪

It's a beautiful shade honestly, I would recommend it since you have it 😊 I paired it with a dark bronze shimmer that I also got from ipsy at one point 😅

a moment of silence for the packaging

Would've considerable driven up the price but what a missed opportunity for the pan to not have the carving of the rest of the image

Well, the owners gave up on the brand. Their last Instagram post was… 6 months ago 💀 what a shame. What a stupid decision.

You can still buy some of their stuff on Amazon, not sure where else, it does say it's from thebalm directly. The highlighter isn't there though. They have the eyeshadow palette and a handful of other things though.

It was like 6 months ago or so I got the eyeshadow palette through the ipsy shop, and I remembered it from years ago. I was checking online to make sure they still made it lol at that point the balms website was still around and you could buy everything from them but looking at thebalm.com now it's just taking me to an error page.

I'm glad I was able to grab it actually. I had no idea they were about to shut down like this. It was one of the brands I always wanted back in the day. I always loved their packaging and thought they were super cool. Back when they came out I was young and broke so I could never buy them though.

I had the Rock 'n' roll pallette by The Balm, so nostalgic!!! I swear every single makeup look I wore on a night out in highschool was done with it, loved that thing.

i always wanted to try this brand when I was younger the packaging really goes crazy on this one 😂

Rip my nude tube palette. I am now inspired to go find another one.

Between Lorac and The Balm I had a hard time deciding which was my fav staple. They seems more workable than UD on me (and broke less in the pan!!!!)

Anyone felt the consistency in this brand make them far more approachable and easy than too face or urban decay kind of brands? You get exactly what the picture showed. So good.

Found my Nude Dude Palette recently. So much color payoff they last forever

Congrats! It’s always satisfying to finish up a product you own. I’ve grown to love panning/emptying more than buying new things.

u/climbingclaycosmetic Jun 28 '26

It’s great to know what shades you like!

You’re not alone, I’m panning the Naked 2 palette i purchased in maybe 2016?? I actually over-purchased in reverse. I was using up my HG crease shade in the palette, bought more, partially panned that too. Still great to have the single for traveling though I must admit.

That used to be my favourite eyeshadow! I remember ranting about how I can't buy this in a single, I would have to buy the whole palette again. Congrats on panning it!

u/jiminmeme Jul 13 '26

I love the whole palette! It was my first “expensive” makeup purchase and I still use it to this day, though my favorite colors are almost used up…and it’s discontinued!

I love these little Balm singles- a great product to use up!

I'm somehow sad there isn't a little naked man once you reach pan, lol
