Nude Venus

Pat McGrath Nude Venus Celestial Nirvana Cheek Palette is a limited edition palette with four blushes and a highlighter. Three of the blushes are from the permanent collection, one is new (but not much different from current colours), and the highlighter is new. Because color consistency between releases isn’t as excellent as it should be, there may be minor changes in the hues here when compared to their single versions. Otherwise, the quality remained similar; the blushes were little powdered but blendable, buildable, and simple to work with, and the highlighter was powerful and pigmented.
