Huda Beauty is synonymous with glam, and I’ve been a fan and avid collector of the brand’s eyeshadow palettes for years. The company has released several new products as part of its new era that have become viral hits and staples in my routine, such as Easy Blur Foundation and that auxFilter Color Corrector. But as Huda Beauty goes through a revamp — including a logo change and Huda Kattan stepping back as CEO — it’s the sunset for some iconic products, like the 18-pan eyeshadow palettes.

Huda Beauty’s new Icy Nude Collection contains Icy Nude Eyeshadow Palette ($69), which is a cool toned nude and neutral color story, and the latest 18-pan eyeshadow palette from the brand. The collection also comes with two new ones Blush Filter Liquid Blush ($21) shades and three new ones FauxFiller lip gloss ($19) shades – all of which I got to try.

Ahead, you can see how the Icy Nude collection looks on my tanned skin and read my thoughts on the new palette.

About Huda Beauty Icy Nude Collection

What I like about Huda Beauty Icy Nude Collection

Icy Nude Eyeshadow Palette: I have a neutral undertone and most nude eyeshadow palettes can skew a little too warm and orange for my taste. The Icy Nude Eyeshadow Palette has shades that complement a wide range of skin tones, especially if you lean more cool toned. I love that I can bring out those cooler undertones in my skin without looking washed out – which honestly makes this the versatile nude palette I’ve been dreaming of. Not only does it have a variety of velvety mattes that blend beautifully and complement my skin tone, but it also has a range of unique metallic and shimmer shades that are fun, festive and truly mesmerizing.

I was able to create six unique looks with this palette alone, as shown in the image above. For a true nude eye look (top left), I used First Class as a base with Unapologetic on the crease and outer corner, and lined my upper and lower lash lines with faux fur. For a shimmery gold look (top center), I applied Gold Standard all over the lid, smoked it out with faux fur on my crease and outer corner, and used She Riiich as a winged liner.

I wanted to get experimental and try an icy pink look (top right) with Aurora as my all-over lid shade, and to highlight my inner corner, I used Avalanche as a base and topped it off with Iced Out. I also added Iced Out alone as an outer corner highlight. For a more silvery look (bottom left), I applied Oneself as a base with Platinum all over the lid, and I smoked it out with the shade Poised on my crease and used She Riiich as a winged liner. I added Bling (bottom center) as a glitter topper for a bolder, more glamorous look.

I wanted to play with the two Triochrome shades (bottom right) and used Poised as my base shade. On my left eye I applied the shade VVS which gives a more champagne toned look and on my right eye I applied the shade Diamond Dew which has a more silver based tone. I added depth and smoked out both eyes with Poised and added First Class to my brow bone.

Icy Nude Blush Filter: With brown skin, I often use bronzers or brown-toned blushes to give me a sculpted look while adding warmth to my complexion, and these Blush Filters from the Icy Nude collection do just that. The shade Latte (shown in the image on the right above) is a warm chocolate brown shade that complements my skin tone beautifully and gives a natural look. The shade Coco Loco (shown in the photo on the left above) is a neutral dark brown shade that gives a bolder, sculpted look to my skin. Check out our in-depth review review of Blush Filter Liquid Blushes for more information on formula and wear.

Icy Nude Faux Filler Lip Gloss: The original shades of Faux Filler Lip Glosses provide a deeply hydrating feel with a glossy finish and pigmented wear. The Icy Nude lip gloss gives the same result, but with a shimmery sheen instead, which I love for more festive looks. These glosses don’t have chunky glitter, but rather a shimmery shimmer that adds a subtle duochrome effect to your lips, making them ideal as lip toppers.

My favorite shade is She Fire (shown in the photo on the left above), which is a chocolate brown with flecks of rose gold. The shade She Flirty (shown in the middle image above) is a lovely baby pink with flecks of silver that goes well with a nude lip. The shade She Glitzy (shown in the image on the right above) is an iridescent pearl shade with a rose-purple duochrome effect with flecks of silver. This is my favorite shade as a lip topper because it blends into a clear dynamic shimmer. You can read more about the moisturizing sensation in our indentation review of Faux Filler Lip Gloss review.

How to use Huda Beauty Icy Nude Collection

Icy Nude Eyeshadow Palette: I like to apply and blend the velvety matte shades with eyeshadow brushes to create even tones and smoky looks. But for the seven shimmer shades, I prefer to use my fingers to apply the shade on my lids for pigmented and bold wear. To accentuate the duochrome effect, I like to press down and gently drag the shadow across the lid. To bring out the glitter and shimmer details, I tap the shadow onto my lid instead of blending it so the glitter looks spread out.

Icy Nude Blush Filter: These blush shades give a more bronzer-like look, as opposed to a traditional, pink-toned blush. You can wear them alone if you want more of a sculpted, bronzing effect, or pair them with a blush shade to add warmth and a rosy hue to your skin. My favorite combination is to pair two dots of latte under three dots of watermelon pop for the perfectly sculpted and rosy cheek.

Icy Nude Faux Filler Lip Gloss: The shade She Glitzy is best used as a lip topper to add shimmer and a high gloss finish to any lip combination. The shades She Flirty and She Fire are pigmented enough to be worn alone or with lip liner and lipstick.

What you should consider before trying the Huda Beauty Icy Nude Collection

Icy Nude Eyeshadow Palette: This 18-pan palette has a wide range of tones suitable for neutral, olive or cooler undertones. While you can still use this palette if you have a warmer undertone, some shades can look a little washed out. However, you can use a lighter base, like your under-eye concealer or a white cream shadow, to help neutralize your lids and show the shades’ true tones.

Icy Nude Blush Filter: The shade Coco Loco is very pigmented compared to the other Blush Filter shades, which are known to be smudge proof and beginner friendly. When using this particular shade, it’s best to use one or two dots first and then build up the color if needed.

Icy Nude Faux Filler Lip Gloss: On my tanned complexion, I prefer to use the shade She Glitzy with another lip color so that I don’t look washed out because of its pearlescent tones. The shade She Flirty also looks washed out on me when worn alone.
