The Best Nude Palettes In Honor Of National Nude Day
1/12In case you were wondering, today happens to be National Nude Day, which is apparently a huge deal for nudist colonies around the world. That said, instead of stepping out in our birthday suits, we'll be celebrating this holiday the only way we know how — by rounding up our tried-and-true nude shadow palettes. Because here at Teen Vogue, we are firm believers that everyone should have at least one neutral-hued palette in their arsenal. The shades may be failsafe, but we promise they're anything but basic. Click through to find our faves, which range from wallet-friendly to totally fancy. And, if you don't own one of these bad boys already, we only have one question for you: what are you waiting for?
