Ranking Natasha Denona's Eyeshadow Palettes | Which ones are the BEST?

[@meghannbw]

I love that the Retro Glam was higher on the list. I have always thought it was a beautiful palette, but I talked myself out of it for so long. Then one day I saw a video you did on it a while back, and I bought it. It’s now one of my favorites from Natasha Denona!

[@debbietaylor2726]

I just bought my first ND mini palette Biba and I love it! It’s my first high end eye palette. BTW I am so envious of your overall look, makeup and hair. I am about opposite from you. But doesn’t everyone want what they don’t have. LOL! Keep up the good work. I enjoy the easy going content that you are providing. 😊

[@rachel-leegeorge3374]

I just got the mini starlette . Loving it

[@a.buggslife287]

I have the Bronze and Retro mids...love. My fave is my mini Xenon palette, but waiting to buy it on sale. Love your videos!

[@maryam.m]

I've been waiting for your updated ranking, so this was a treat!

[@jillm42]

Thank you for doing a new ranking video! I've been debating back and forth on whether to get INAN or My Dream next. I was worried they were too similar to other palettes i already have. So the debate continues but leaning more towards INAN!

[@Gmrzn]

I love so much your video I recently bought mini trio chrome blue,pastel and xenon.The quality in all of her palettes is why they are all spectacular

[@kellygarland63]

Love love ND palettes. I have 5 of the midi’s and 1 smaller one. I recently bought a backup of I Need a Nude. That’s how much I love that one! The perfect everyday palette with stunning shimmers.

[@michellej5517]

I’d love to see a video of your favourite looks from each palette for some inspiration.

[@juliebridge7590]

Thanks to you I've purchased 2 Natasha's palettes on ebay, $20.00 and $15.00 dollars below what they are retail. I've bought quite a few palettes in the past of different brands and they have been great! I bought Glam and Dream! Excited!

[@AnneFox-mb5qt]

Thanks for sharing what pallets you like best. I do have a few of her pallets and do love them. The eye shadows feel so creamy. I have been using the newest face pallet. The bronzer has worked great for my skin color. I just swirl them all together.

[@aprilsun6983]

Wow, can't believe the two mid-size ND palettes I still own and keep are actually your top 2! But your right, those two are so good!

[@marietollett8323]

The midi Glam and midi Retro our my fave ND 15-shade palettes. ❤

[@lynnctodd]

I finally got the I Need a Nude palette and it is lovely, but I am finding that larger palettes overwhelm me and I don’t use many of the shades. I much prefer the mini My Dream palette. It is my go to and I use every shade. I think I just gravitate more towards the 5 pan palettes for ease of use.

[@cindyh2579]

From the reviews online, it seems the mini My Dream is sufficient, especially if you don't like the glittery shades in the I Need A Nude.

[@ke-chiachen6726]

Thank you for the updated ranking!

[@brittbillok]

I love love love her palettes. I own a few of her 5 pans and 2 midi palettes.

[@sandymacnab3981]

would love it if you could tell us what you are wearing as for cheeks and lips. Looks gorgeous!

[@skateata1]

I was wondering that too

[@keepfitgirl8191]

I also love a matte white! Agree that I need a nude is so good. Emma x

[@tabethax233]

I also love her cream to powder formula and I am so sad she doesn’t make them as often anymore.

[@mtjc5336]

A couple of comments to chime in here … 1) the Zendo. I really wish she would bring that one back! I got back into makeup in 2022 after a long hiatus, and before my hiatus I literally only owned two tiny eyeshadow palettes from Revlon. Lol. So I had not even heard of Natasha Danona when Zendo was available for purchase. It looks like the absolute perfect pallet for me as I am mostly a neutral lover, but I do occasionally play with a little splash of color and the splashes in that pallet are exactly what I would reach for! 2) the my dream palette. I thought I would love that palette, and I do reach for it all the time but almost exclusively for the cream to powder black and plum brown. The shades in that pallet are two peachy or two dark for my light skin. I do not like wearing mid-tone shimmers, and virtually all the shimmers in this palette at mid-tones although they are BEAUTIFUL. Also I literally never use that Vision shade and the really orangey one, which just means I spent $69 for about 6 shades, if that. I keep reaching for it and experimenting, but the shades are all too peachy or too dark for the way I like to wear my make up. Lesson learned I guess :-) 3) I bought the Retro Glam palette and I basically just want to echo everything she said about that. I actually saw that one and immediately was repulsed. Every single review I saw that, the only thing going through my mind was I will never own that pallet. That would never work for me. I hate those shades. But then I saw it in person and watched it and I’ve never been more surprised in my life. I have gray eyes, and those CG greens look absolutely phenomenal on me. The pinks also work really nicely with my skin tone, and the formulas are all excellent. I am absolutely shocked at how natural the shades look on me since they work so well with my coloring they read as very neutral wear in the palette they definitely do not, at least to me. I guess the moral of the story is that palette taught me that the kinds of eyeshadows I most like to wear are the ones that use my natural coloring and complement it well, and I was shocked at how well the retro glam works for me

[@b_m9566]

I too love I need a nude but my complain is it’s too monochromatic ( which is a complain I have for quite a few of ND palettes ) I wish she made her palettes more versatile like the My dream . This colour story I feel could fit in a 5-10 pan. Also INAN is not very inclusive towards deeper skin tones

[@katherinekelly9689]

Hi Mandy, Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette are perfection for my mature 56 1/2 years on the eyes, they are long lasting, the formulas she put in her palettes is of the highest quality and innovative, as you may guess I love Natasha’s palettes. Love Katherine xoxo

[@spiderleenie]

While I'm not the type to splurge on makeup, I did finally buy the "I Need a Nude" palette. It's my first ND palette. As someone who has bought countless nude eyeshadow palettes over the past 15 years or so, I have to admit that "I Need a Nude" might be the best I've ever tried. The soft colors work perfectly with my pale skin, and the shimmers do indeed look wet when applied and I can't get over how beautiful it looks. Even the darker colors don't look too harsh on me, and so I had the confidence to do a smokey eye for the first time in forever. The palette is basically perfect. Don't know if I'll buy any other ND palettes, but we'll see. Retro Glam looks gorgeous, but I don't know if I'll reach for those colors enough to justify spending that much money.

[@dubsbeautydiary]

I just love rankings!!

[@kellygarland63]

The other thing about ND palettes is they often work well together. I mix the I Need a Nude and Glam often.

[@rachelmaddowswife8713]

Ohhh, been hoping for a new ranking because so many good ones have come out in the last year or so.

[@feliciakpl]

Can you do a 7 looks 1 palette video for your top 2 midi palettes pls?

[@Cheeky63]

I have quite a few of these palettes and I love them. However, on the My Mini Dream palette, the darkest deep brown shade has A LOT of fallout (even after tapping the brush several times). Lands on the upper cheek area and leaves me frustrated in the clean up.

[@michellecaudill7936]

Thank you this helped tremendously

[@hannitabeautysison]

I like the shimmers on the Glam palette better than the I Need A Nude one! The shimmers seem so lackluster, definitely a different formula

[@1liberaldem]

Hmmm, I'm tempted to get the mini biba. Do I need it? Nah. But I like the color story! The I Need a Nude palette has been my almost every day palette since I got it!

[@michelle1879]

I'm in Australia and can't afford Natasha Denona palettes as they are $121 here. The retro glam is my favourite. I looked at alter ego as per your recommendation but only one colour was in stock and all the rest of the palettes were completely sold out.

[@jennifermolina4396]

I've heard that Australia prices are much higher than the US.

[@kellygarland63]

I’m in Canada and pay about the same with the exchange and taxes. Definitely an investment but I find I don’t buy many other palettes now, so it balances out in the end. I’m content to pay for top quality and the notion that they are very easy to work with in application and color range, with the exception of some of her more specific palettes, like the Xenon. The shimmers are perfect for older eyes, sophisticated and subtle. I love the I Need a Nude so much I’ve already purchased a backup.

[@Patriot1789]

The rankings were interesting. Besides color what did you base the rank on? Didn’t seem clear to me.

[@genpenjeep7695]

❤SO HELPFUL W/ UR LOGIC

[@pattywellendorf8346]

Omg... the squeak of the Glam pallette through ear buds!

[@thatsallmarta]

I don't get how you can keep reiterating again and again that you're old... I mean, how on earth can 40 be considered old??

[@janicecroissiert9116]

Agree

[@bethong910]

Agree. I keep thinking I’m 20 years older than she is…does that make me ancient? 😂😂😂

[@kateaye3506]

@@bethong910 I don't think some folk understand how this comes across to those much older than them. It really isn't that horrendous being much older. 😂

[@MelissaHubbard906]

She does not say she us old. She says things like, "as I get older". I mean, seriously, folks, when we were in our 20's we went to the club, but as we got older, that no longer suited us

[@kateaye3506]

@@MelissaHubbard906 I get what you mean. I wasn't directing this at Mandy per se, but I hear these aging comments a bit in BG land and it does make me wonder. Mandy is aging beautifully.

[@sandisteko9067]

Did you get the I need a warm one or the golden?

[@chrislefler8651]

Ok! I am ordering the I Need a Nude pallet! Lol!!! I don’t know about need but I sure do want!

[@RaineInKS]

I have to say that I've gotten a lot of pretty looks with the Zendo palette. Much more wearable than you would think.

[@michelle1879]

Yes they are, a Natasha Denona palette is $121 here

[@rissa505]

Thank you I am expanding my collection of these palettes and I think I need a nude Palette 🎨😂

[@amysmithssportsandmakeup1397]

what about the safari and biba and some of the other really large $129 palettes?

[@hurricanepepa]

I NEED A NUDE was my first full sized ND palette and it's so lovely! Can't go wrong with it, the colors are easy to work with! Large palettes tend to be a bit overwhelming for me, but all of the colors work so well together in this palette that it's hard to mess up!

[@kellygarland63]

I agree. Love the ND palettes and they are definitely large enough for me. I have 2 big Morphe palettes that I’ve touched maybe twice? Way too overwhelming.

[@robinhanscom1882]

How are the shimmers. Are they glittery because I can’t stand the little glitter sparkles on my face.

[@ewaj7185]

I love Nd, i love zendo and glam. But I have absolutely no idea what and how should I use my dream palette... The shadows look always so... tired and wrong on me...😅😢

[@kateaye3506]

Interesting...! I have held off on MDP for the same reason.

[@campfire_cat]

which one of these would be best for brown, nearly hazel eyes?

[@nobodysummonsmegatron]

Try greens and purples if they're pretty hazel.

[@kimtheofrastou466]

Don't you also have the Safari palette?

[@beverlynelson599]

I am half way through your video and you have mentioned three times about getting older. You've also said that your skin is gray. STOP! You are beautiful! You look 25 or 30 years old. ❤

[@exomake_mehorololo]

She looks fabulous

[@skateata1]

She does look great

[@llchapman1234]

Not a fan of the topper shades that ND put in every palette. But I do love that most of ND's palettes have beautiful, wearable colors.

[@Diane0123]

Our number 1 palettes are the same but my glam palettes are in second place for me… The dream palette is my number 4

[@cathychats]

So what was your previous number 1?

I have minis I have the mini my dream Mini nude Mini retro Mini glam Mini gold Mini biba Mini love Mini starlette And the midi in I need a nude
