I agree that the palette doesn’t have a lot of versatility on its own, but both looks turned out so beautiful! You truly have a talent for the artistry of makeup and use of color, beyond anyone else on KZbin. Also, both of the looks were stunning ON you!

[@susannewicht7570]

I sometimes wonder why many brands don't add one matte black pan to their palette. But to me it woukd be no problem to take darker shades from another palette. Light colors need - in my opinion - at least a dark winged liner, or otherwise your eyes can look tired.

[@mistichristensen7088]

I picked up the Sydney Grace x Mel Thompson version. I think it has a better range of light to dark shades. Plus, I wanted to support her family.

[@BlingyBea]

Same

[@alisonproblemgirl27]

I came here to say the same thing. I’m so glad I went with the Sydney Grace/Mel Thompson bundle instead of ND.

[@Shivs628]

Girl this is the comment! I’ll be buying it instead… saw Mel’s vid and her layout was superior. 💫

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! ❤

[@amysmithssportsandmakeup1397]

[@brittanyfeldhaus]

I love your reviews because even when you don’t love something you tell me exactly what I need to know about it. I love cool tones and I’m so light that most mid tones are dark on me. So, this is perfect

[@shendisackett]

Same here I'm frozen chicken to Theresa's uncooked chicken so a lot of my ND palettes have a couple of shades a bit too dark for me, this looks perfect. I wanted to get the Sydney Grace bundle but being in the UK it is so expensive to ship it here. 😫 I might have gone for it if the cost of everything from food to fuel hadn't shot up so much this year.

[@christinatriana9676]

I bought it, but I have had the Mel Thompson….Sydney Grace… bundle since Mel put it together!! Miss her beautiful face…and her version is much better!

[@jodiekelly1355]

I actually really like the pink look! The greens are definitely far too similar to need to be in the palette and I'm not fond of the darkest colour being a shimmer either. It's definitely giving retro glam vibes with the final look though and it still turned out super pretty!

[@ivynyx1834]

I like the pink too but I think it's more about Angie's technique. I've never seen her create a bad look.

[@minagica]

@@ivynyx1834 I'm so glad you're saying "technique" instead of "talent", cuz turns out what is perceived by people as "talent" is actually developed skill that the person deserves credit for and which other people also have the hopes of learning. The info needs to spread because apparently a lot of kids and young adults get stuck in the 'talent trap', where they are afraid of trying to do things because "but what if it will turn out I'm not also talented at this" when they try it for the first time, which is only an indicator of how fast a study they are at first try, not of how far they can truly expect to get. It's the constructive way of talking about skills 🥰🥰🥰

Palladium is a metal used in jewellery that is pricier than gold. Edit: the things you learn while casually watching KZbin tutorials. 80% of palladium is used for manufacturing catalytic converters (whatever that is) in cars.

[@cavlizzy]

I had the catalytic converter removed from my 1981 Trans Am so I could use "regular" gasoline. This was back when unleaded gas was becoming a big thing & was more expensive. So it has something to do with the unleaded gas... that's all I know. Lol - (as a teen I could afford regular gas easier. But you can't buy that anymore?)

[@tiesh3041]

Pricey af! Someone stole all the converters out of our school vans and it cost a fortune to replace them all 😥

[@shendisackett]

@@tiesh3041 yep there are still gangs going round in the UK hitting cars and they cost a lot to repair. Manufacturers are starting to install anti-theft covers. My cousin's car had it stolen whilst she was in the supermarket they stole it in broad daylight in front of people. Some people took down details for her but you don't dare confront them. Apparently they get sent off to Eastern Europe and melted down.

[@GrlNextDoor]

I passed on this one and opted for the Sydney Grace, “In Mel’s Memory”. I think it has a better array of color with deep, lighter, shimmer and mattes. I was looking at the ND but this one just didn’t speak to me.

[@scrappymom7881]

Me too, plus I really like that a portion of the proceeds from the sale go to Mel's family.

[@kozubalsgmail4241]

I did the same thing. The money going to Mel’s family is more important to me than to ND.

[@cinderellie9583]

Havnt watched yet but the mel collection from sidney grace looks like what this pallet wants to be.

[@nailinthefashion]

These types of greens are my nemesiseses in life. They're always ashy unless it's a shimmer-- and I don't want a palette of mostly lid or inner corner pops hahaha. I've been loving ND glam though! I pair it with my more mucky, grungy greens or duochromes and thriving 🦄💐

[@kerricoakley1788]

I appreciate your honesty regarding this palette. Sometimes I feel like influencers aren’t always giving their honest opinion, and I love that you do. Thank you!

[@AgaTSC2]

Unfortunately, I must agree. I'm not blown away by this palette. I do much prefer the bundle that Mel did with Sidney Grace. I think those shadows do pack more of a punch. I hope that someone buys both and does a comparison!

[@BlingyBea]

Tara Lynn will be doing that once she receives her bundle from SG, she just reviewed the ND one.

[@rawsteph4114]

I believe Theresa is Dead is also going to compare both. After watching this video I'm more interested in the Mel/Sydney Grace bundle

[@raisabrandt1306]

I love love love these tones of green in the palette and I don't own anything similar, but yes comparisons will be helpful to decide if I get this one or the SG one.

[@ma-ma-mamary3946]

*note to self* Must stalk Teresa Is Dead & Tara Lynn channels for the next few days to watch comparisons. SG is one of my favorite brands though so I know I'll be biased (plus, I already bought the SG bundle) but I'm still curious. I have yet to buy any ND & have been interested in her mini Retro since it launched but still have not bought it. Once of these days maybe if it goes on sale

[@Goldie9899]

Agree 💯 and the palette she made in a video using SG shadows!! I have to check out the bundles, but I bought all the shadows I didn’t have when she made a dupe palette last year

[@LituanaCorazonmexicano0508]

Ready! Although this palette is not my cup of tea, because it looks uninspiring and dusty to me. But I love your content, so here I am supporting you by watching this video.🙂

[@SuperSarahbop]

[@LituanaCorazonmexicano0508]

@@SuperSarahbop Maybe, I have never bought their makeup, so I don’t really know if it’s similar.

It’s just an impression Clinique uses a mint green for some of their packaging not quite the same colors it just reminds me of that brand packaging mint green with silver and peachy pink

[@saritavenkatapathynaidu9533]

@@SuperSarahbop OMG so true 😂. I wouldn’t call this palette the retro, more than “Vintage”

[@jeanninet.5010]

Love your blouse! Thanks for the honest review. This to me is too light. Have you seen Sydney Grace's version of the Retro palette put together by Mel Thompson before she passed? It's for sale now and part of the proceeds go to Mel's husband and children. The bundle is $60 for 20 shades. It does have rich dark and medium tone colors.

[@Goldie9899]

I’m so happy I didn’t get this and got all the shadows from Sydney Grace that Mel Thompson came up with to dupe the Zendo I believe…but it reminds me so much of this color story and the formula’s are all amazing quality!!

[@gabywallace1680]

I like the sidney grace one.

[@erisalexis]

I agree that there isn’t enough dimension in the palette. I ended up ordering the one from Sydney Grace in Mel’s memory. I would love to see a comparison between the two.

[@LiveWithIntention]

I'm curious if the depth in the Sydney Grace x Mel Thompson bundle have better contrast.

[@jslilimauve]

It does have more contrast for sure.

[@elizabethjones2]

I think the mini retro is the way I will go!

[@chelsearose7655]

I would love to see you review Sydney Grace’s release of Mel Thompson’s take on her Retro palette! I bought that instead because it’s so beautiful.

[@dustyshaller4428]

I love ND palettes but this one is just too cool toned for me. And am I the only one that can’t get over how much hers looks like Mel’s? And Mel’s was first (at least to us). If I were to purchase I’d buy Mel’s. This comes off like a subpar dupe. Love you & the blouse!

[@nailinthefashion]

It's not just you-- Mel loved more punchy, vibrant mattes like Angie and was a master of blending, so they wouldn't scare her either! She's a bold lady, that Mel! Sydney Grace totally did right by her 100%

[@ashleykane2895]

totally agree! and not only do you get to support Mel’s family, but it’s also cheaper for more shades!

[@alexandreaturcot8921]

Yes the Sydney Grace bundle is cheaper than Natasha Denona and I am about 100% sure the shades will be better and with more depth between the greens and not all look alike. 😉

[@jslilimauve]

I definitely see similarity. Which is not a bad thing. Mel was so inspiring ! Also while ND raised her prices Sydney Grace didnt. Another reason to buy Mels bundle !

[@LH-ci1bn]

I'm torn. I will probably buy it if there's a good sale but only to mix in with my other midi palettes. For the better version and to support Mel's family, I'm going to prioritize that one.

[@ilovenaruto555]

If you told me the green look was all 1 shadow I would believe it 😬 interesting choices were made in the making of this palette. I can't believe the darkest looking green looked like the other green. But the combination of that dark shimmer and the pink was so beautiful 😍

[@ma-ma-mamary3946]

I ended up getting the Mel Thompson bundle from SG instead & I'm happy I did. What she curated is more of what I like.

[@TheNephilimRosier]

I loved the idea of this palette but seeing it in action now it sucks that it's definitely too light for going well with my skin :( I hope she comes out with a forest themed palette with dark greens 'cause that would be so amazing

[@saritavenkatapathynaidu9533]

Yeah, I’m just a little darker than Angelica and I can’t imagine this one going well for me.

[@87Ashlee]

@@saritavenkatapathynaidu9533 when you check out the KZbin channel of Natasha Denona herself she showed some models with dark(er) complexion. It actually looks super pretty if you have a darker complexion :)

[@carinam4258]

I completely agree with you! I think it’s even a bigger disappointment because it was such a long wait for it. I have the impression that all the looks we can do with this, can be done with the ABH noveau palette.

[@joexulaje]

From the swatches online I already knew I wasn't going to like it, but seeing how those green shades are IDENTICAL... easy pass for me. I also need some depth in palettes and this is too midtone heavy. I wanted this to be my first natasha palette given that it's like a modern dupe for the Venus XLII from lime crime which I LOVED, but I think I will just get her neutral cool toned one.

[@estellerose9900]

I have the Venus XL II and my sister has the Retro Glam, they don't really look alike at all in person! The Lime Crime is much warmer and mid-toned, the ND one leans really grey/blue.

[@aimeeb260]

I hope you had a good visit with your mom and stepdad. I’m so glad they were able to visit. 🙂

[@hazardsigns]

I get the impression people should go with the (cheaper) Sydney Grace bundle 🤔 Those swatches look gorgeous and run from light to dark. Also, being singles, people can customise their palette to their hearts content 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@erinbeth128]

I was wondering why everyone’s thumbnail had the same exact makeup looks with this palette 😂

[@enhunter82]

I love the look with the pink. I feel like she should’ve made a light and dark version of the palette.

[@saritavenkatapathynaidu9533]

This is why Sydney Grace always does more for me, tbh. But I love the points others have made about all of ND’s shades being interchangeable - I just haven’t been able to afford any of it yet. Maybe this and then the dark green large one would work well for swapping? I’d think so.

[@stephaniethat40somethinggi45]

I agree with you. While I like the looks people have done so far, I wouldn't wear those looks myself. I prefer to have at least a couple of deep, dark mattes, and more distinct contrast between shades of the same color.

[@yensid4294]

I've only tried the mini camel & mini nude from ND. I returned the mini camel & gifted the mini nude to my niece. My main issue with both was the lack of tonal/shade range. I've found this to be true of ND's larger palettes as well, she tends to stay in the "medium" range & I like having a deep dark matte & a light bright shimmer in my palette. It's really annoying to have 3 or 4 shades that look like they'd make a nice transitional monochromatic blend but end up looking like a single shadow. I did like this type of color story altho it seemed more Spring/Summer than Fall/Winter to me. I was eyeing this palette intently waiting for swatches & reviews. In the meantime SG released Mel's bundle & I liked the shadows in that better. It was still a softer, desaturated palette but it had more depth & a mix of warm/cool which is my preference. It would be interesting to see the 2 compared side by side.

[@angeliarossett5934]

I opted for In Mel’s Memory instead of ND Retro Glam. 5 more shadows and a more comprehensive mini Retro color scheme, yes please!

[@YadiBeauty]

Ready to hear this honest review!! 🙌🏽

[@marie-evegoulet3229]

[@mat.9692]

I agree. I have lot of palettes and I use always them together, so form me it's not a big problem. I also have pale skin and I don't usually use a lot of deep colours. I love sage colours and I'm really happy to see this new palette

[@nancyquixotic2422]

[@alice_rabbit8345]

I’m drawn to the colors themselves but I agree with everything you said. I really do like the pinker look!

[@emilymakescoffee1741]

If I remember correctly, you can pop out shadows from Natasha pallets and switch them around. I think I’m going to swap a few shadows around so that I can add some dark mattes. I’m thinking I’ll combine it with just a bit of the glam palette. I already bought this one and it’s on the way. While I love these colors, I can see it lacks a little range.

[@nailinthefashion]

I rearranged my Glam yesterday! I added a bronze and a cranberry to get more range too. Natasha's philosophy revolves more around texture than tone. I took out a gold and champagne-- the gold was actually unique and will be back for spring, but the other one is just a less punchy version of another "wet look" champagne in the palette. I think you'll have a lot of fun! Something else I did was paint over the shade names with black polish so it wouldn't be as distracting haha. Now it's a clean gradient, in rows of similar tones and really sparks my inspiration!

[@jbriggsstuff]

I am going to pop out a few of the shades and popping in some of the deeper shades from retro.

[@reencampbell4481]

@@nailinthefashion Such a good point about ND’s philosophy… very texture-centric! Couldn’t agree more! And she really shows that with her life looks.

[@nailinthefashion]

@@reencampbell4481 I think it's really important to keep that a part of the convo-- I feel it's quite common to expect artists to create outside of their comfort zones, and I don't think that's fair. She showcases what to expect from her palettes! To expect more depth isn't realistic. One shouldn't expect Pat McGrath to be less bold or not obsessed with rosey tones, they should just buy something else, in the same way I'm skipping retro glam but duping the vibes haha.

[@reencampbell4481]

@@nailinthefashion very good point… i never thought of it that way. We are talking about makeup artists who have created brands from *their* personal aesthetics and preferences… when you put it that way, it becomes easy to understand and it’s not “predictable” rather true to themselves. I like it!

[@katecoolidge411]

I thought the palette looked like it was going to be similar when I saw the photos.

I’m honestly surprised that you’re surprised, because the second I saw this palette I was like “nope, not enough variety in tones, they’ll all look the same.” I also live my darks to be very dark, which is one of the reasons why I like the Club Nebula palette so much.

[@Kimbyroseh]

This color story is exactly what I expected. I was so surprised so many people were begging for it. The colors look ok on some people, but not flattering for all. These colors really wash out my skin tone, they do not enhance anything or flatter me. The colors do look pretty, in the palette, but not on me.

Sitting here watching this review waiting for my palette to come tomorrow and all I can think is Hela to the rescue because I think soot would be perfect to deepen the looks. Your palette might be a little warmer but I can’t wait to see if I can come up with something interesting by combining the two. I was never in love with this ND color story but I had to get it with the hopes of seeing it in person and falling for it because I’m a collector.

The looks you created are different and I personally think it's one of your best looks I've seen.

[@nydia7566]

Thank you babe! I was waiting for you. Youre blouse is so pretty ❤

[@amberwings17]

I'm that girl that doesn't need the deep eyeshadows haha. For whatever reason this color story makes my heart sing. I really want to want the Sydney Grace bundle but for some reason it doesn't spark the same feeling as the Natasha one. I feel like would be the better purchase but my heart's not as into it! 😩

[@mirivera3212]

You said exactly what I thought when I saw this color story, pretty glad I didn’t pick up. It’s a beautiful palette and I’ve seen Beverly pretty eye looks created but like you said you don’t see yourself picking it up again without dipping to a darker shade from another palette:

[@monicamcdonald5474]

Your look is absolutely gorgeous! I came really close to buying the Dior 9 pan cool brown shades and have the Dior lip oil in cherry. Yes the brand is worth it IMO.

You really are the queen of color, Angie! 🙌🏻

I felt unimpressed as well. At first sight I wanted to order it right away but then I realized how light it is and I wanted to see reviews first because I had a lime crime palette with the same color story and every look was similar and too light for me.

You're not alone on this! I think this palette lacks depth and versatility too. A lot of similar looking shades. Thank you for being honest with us!

[@brianaalexandra7302]

Okay these looks are so gorgeous😍 not you convincing me to get this palette when I first looked at it and said “mmmm no not for me” lol

[@mariaboyd1345]

I would love to see you ranking all the Natasha eyeshadow palettes that were released for 2022!

[@gilded_lady]

I do wish it had a dark matte, but I love that this is actually cool toned and wearable by cool toned gals - something ND palettes generally aren't. I eyed Mel's bundle and that leaned warmer as well. Its nice to not be ignored for once.

[@purpleir]

I love it! But I do have a cool complexion and I would use it for as an everyday palette.

[@msritamgarcia]

I am so glad you made this video… I agree completely! She DID NOT hit the ball out of the park this time😊

[@theresad1904]

I agree with you! I was pretty disappointed with it! I was expecting so much more color payoff and range

[@CKM2650]

This palette actually reminds me of the Lime Crime Venus XL 2! I adore that palette and use it a lot in the spring and summer. It definitely is more versatile though. It has some burgundy and browns along with a bright pastel green to add balance to the grey-greens and pinks

[@sunshine3068]

Love the finished look so much!Love Natasha palettes,but not the green toned one.I have green eyes and prefer browns and shades of burgundy and purple to accent them.

[@denisesheffield481]

I agree with you on this color story it lacks depth. Almost pastel, will need to add deeper shades from my ND 28 pan green-brown palette to give it some versatility. Thanks for an honest review!
