Hi All,
It’s no secret that I love neutral eyeshadows…I can’t seem to have enough of them. So when I had the opportunity to get this baby from Ric, I jumped at the chance. I also have the Sleek iDivine palette which is amazing and it was without a second thought that I picked this palette as well. But I should have done my research Girls…Read on to know more…
Â
This palette comes in a thin, rectangular form and houses 12 shades within. It also includes a full-sized mirror which is really helpful and a double-ended sponge tip applicator which would probably work well in emergencies..

My experience with Sleek Au Naturel Palette
- Pigmentation: Its a 50-50 case here…the upper row sucks in pigmentation…like literally..I had the toughest time trying to get them on camera…it’s like playing ‘Spot the color’.. I can’t understand how Sleek of all companies with such an amazing track record of high quality products could come up with this.
- Texture: All shades are silky soft. Even though the pigmentation in the first row is disappointing, the shades are still not chalky.

- Staying Power: I can’t comment on the shades with poor pigmentation but all the rest stay put on my lids for more than 5-6hrs without a primer.
- Versatility: The shades on the lower row are amazing….I use them to line my lower lashline as well and it works very well that way too.

This is quite a disappointment isnt it? Though some shades in the upper row are quite nice like Taupe and Nougat, the others are to light…I had high hopes from Toast but it hardly shows up unless I dig and dig…But yes, the colors which do work are fantastic! 8 of the 12 shades in this palette exceed my expectations.
I may have been a bit harsh of my judgement of the palette as a whole but this I feel is majorly because of the quality of their other palettes. Everyone of them excels in pigmentation and wear. Had it ben some other brand, I would have infact expected some duds in the palette but th efact that it’s Sleek which has produced even 4 bad shades amongst 12 is a bit of a let down.
All in all, this is genuinely a nice palette if you’re a beginner in makeup or even if you are a neutral lover like I am. Its perfect for a smokey eye and good work-wear looks.

Haha! Sounds kinky but I agree… I want MUA now 🙂
i got this for the friend when hauling sleek. The pigmentation for the upper row is just bad. While reviewing it, I had difficult time to swatch them. Luckily the darker ones are sweethearts
Haan…thank god for that Atleast!! I love the lower row..it’s so amazing..pity bout the upper row tho..
the palette looks nice Zee..sad that the pigmentation is bad..iv always heard gud things about sleek palettes..:)
Me too…which is y I got tis blindly…:( 🙁
For nudes nuthing beats the naked pallete.. Have not tried nethg from sleek though ..’

Zara i think the upper row must be for the british goris!!if u really love nudes go for naked pallete!its bcome my most used !
I wonder if it will show up on them also…practically impossible!
Good point
Sacchi me disappointing!
Totally agree the above row is a total dud, but I still think Taupe is better than rest lighter shades… wearing it today 🙂
A you shifted from HYD permanently kya ?
yup! ..u coming over to meet me 😀
You are in Bangalore…. don’t tell me I have no idea…. I thought you are shifting to Noida permanently ?
Ana…are you in Bangalore? I thought you were in Delhi!!
aare..no no..there is lot of confusion here..i am now in Noida and that too forever i believe 😛
No one t pune…
Whoa! I really liked the darker shades…but not the 1st row..whats the point if it doesn’t show??
Wohi to….kinda useless..
i was always in a dilemma between this one and oh so special..even that has sum good nudes naa?want a sleek haul badly but feeling guilty due to my obsessive shopping..
zee, ana..i’m shopping and ordering online atleast 5 days per week 😥
heheh ask me ..Fahee..i am as bad as you ..
Haha!! Enjoy abhi…baad me u may not get time 😉 I’m to always shopping…tho not S bad as before its a serious addiction!
Oh they don’t show 🙁 …was eyeing this
Pls don’t dol..it’s a waste…ul b getting only half a palette!
Aww too bad bout the 1st row. Like u said, toast looks very promising n i like taupe too. The shades in the bottom row r very nice indeed 🙂
Yea…I can’t imagine if the entire palette turned to b a flop..I’d b heart broken!
Lovely shades but I wish the upper row would have been better. I so want the Naked palette now!
U kno Shivi, I keep thinking that d naked palette is over rated but m still lusting after it…especially when I keep seeing it in videos….:(
I love my Oh So Special..check that..even that has nice neutrals..and Storm..now eyeing the Matte V2 Darks..
