NATASHA DENONA XENON PALETTE...15 SHADES OF GRAY?!

[@goldenshadow7691]

This is my jam for sure and while many will complain that it’s not an everyday palette, I love that ND doesn’t release the same or similar color story over and over and over and over again just because it’s what everyone wants. We have plenty of nudes, rosy, mauves, purples, you name it. I can’t wait to get mine!

[@DianaWodnoff]

You make a good point. Loved this palette too

[@angelafahlenkamp9311]

It's going to be a beautiful companion palette that can be used in conjunction with many others in our collections 👍

[@kfarr3037]

Me too, sooo excited!! We can do so much with all these shades of gray since these are our colors!! And you definitely can do an everyday look as well! Totally our jam and so many of us are thrilled to finally get a palette without all the browns! They always seem to forget there is such a thing as a cool tone brown. Maybe when they do yet another brown palette, we might get 1 cool shade..heehee! Can't wait for this palette to get here so I can dive right in! ❤😊

[@Esoteraeon]

​@@kfarr3037have you tried Natasha Denona's I Need a Nude palette? It's a really nice cool toned neutral color scheme. I'm asian with neutral to cool leaning skin and I need cool tones

[@LexiLadonna]

I appreciate what Natasha Denona does, she takes a color story and explores very deeply into it. I feel like the idea with her palettes is not that every single color will be used by you because some are redundant, but for a given color story, you will be able to find the perfect one for you in that pallet. So there might be multiple silvers, but there will be one that will be perfect for you. No one was mad at the gold palette had like 50 shades of gold, this is the silver version of that. She also started her company with the idea of making make up for make up artists, so it makes sense if you were make up artist that you would want a pallet with this many slight variations on the same thing so that you could find which ever one works best for your client

[@heathera612]

This is the best comment. Yeah, nobody ever questioned the gold palette. Also, this was makeup artist brand that needed the same colors for different skin tones. Everyone can have a fucking seat

[@Suellenfontinele]

Yes!! It is this!

[@caracoates4834]

I feel like people keeping asking for cool tones and Natasha is trying to fill that void in the market. I think what most customers want is wearable cool tone color stories. This palette is great if you are going out for the evening, but it is hard to rock it during the day. She could switch half the shades with other cool complementary colors.

[@richapraja]

I also don't think cool tones means grey - its kinda reminding me of last year's Pat Mcgrath's holiday release were everyone was asking Pat Mcgrath for more colorful eyeshadows (and more specifically colors that were not pink, mauve or gold) and she released a bunch of colorful (and not super flattering) or good quality mattes and then how everyone used that release to justify her releasing yet another pink palette as her mothership. So it feels like you almost intentionally deliver a popular request badly so that you can continue justify the same color story or execution

[@cindyp5132]

I'm super cool-toned, light with blue eyes & nothing looks better than black as the deepest shade. But I don't necessarily like gray as a transition or only silver shimmer. I would prefer a blush or mauve as a transition. I just think it goes too far pushing the same tone. I was excited for this palette but I'm hesitant now. I have JS Cremation and actually prefer Weirdo. And I have PML 5 pan from last year. Ugh... it upsets me when I buy her stuff & don't use it.

[@debwhite5281]

[@allisonmeyer4818]

I LOVE THIS RELEASE! Browns, pinks, & yellow-undertone palettes are so overdone

[@Hannah_jo25]

I don’t mind that she made a super niche palette for people who really like grey since her last release was very mass appealing and wearable for everyday. It’s not something I would get use out of enough for me to buy but I appreciate that she is expanding the colors in her library rather than making what will sell the most. Plus since you can take colors out and mix them up you could spread some of the redundant shades throughout other palettes that could use a deeper shade maybe.

[@francipal70]

I love how influencers keep saying it’s a “15 shades of gray” palette as if that’s a negative but gush over an all brown palette. I don’t get it. I’m not crazy about browns, even though I feel as if they’re still needed. I could wear grey tones on my eyes daily and am so happy to have this. Now I won’t have to worry about needing gray tones for many years to come lol. If you gravitate toward these colors, get this palette. It’s a stand alone as well as a companion palette.

[@barbthegreat586]

Or they gush over 555 shades of red palettes

[@TashaSanichara]

I agree with you. I absolutely love this palette.

[@brittanyw.9351]

I feel like everyone I see reviewing this just doesn't like gray that much, which is fine, but I hope to see more reviews of people who enjoy these color stories.

[@jszgarrison]

Agreed. I could not care less for all the brown mess but this grey palette is gorgeous. As a person with bluish grey eyes, this is a stand alone palette for me.

[@cindyp5132]

That's ironic & true. As someone who absolutely cannot wear browns (looks like mud on light cool-toned w/blue eyes). I pass on palettes all the time because of it. So I'm thrilled she's attempting to go cool. You make a good point 🤍

[@CallmeCalypso]

This color story is GORGEOUS on brown eyes. It makes the gold, orange, red and amber tones in the iris stand out!

[@MsBNoodle]

I think this is a clever release. The run of Yucca, INAN and now this one means there's something for everyone to choose from this christmas. I expect it won't sell as well as INAN but they will know that.

[@87Ashlee]

Yes I agree! She gives such a variety! I love that about her. There is something for everyone

[@kfarr3037]

I know there are so many that are saying "lots of redundant gray," but please remember this, that is EXACTLY what us cool-toned girls say with every warm, redundant brown palette that always comes out. They could give us a few cool browns but nobody remembers there is such a color. For those of us that are cool-toned, we are sooo excited since we can do so many looks with this. And the ND formula is always wonderful!! ❤😊

[@samw6475]

I went to Ulta and Sephora yesterday looking for a gray palette- they were out of stock of Xenon, and they had nothing! Browns and beiges, however, were plentiful.

[@TNK689]

Even though I don't wear eyeshadow that's this smokey, I find this palette to be absolutely STUNNING. I could actually see the distinct shade differences on your eyes too. For example, it may not have come across to you, but on the first eye look I noticed the blue in contrast with the grey/black immediately. Anyway, someone is going to truly love this and I have to give props to ND for coming out with a variety of different color stories because we all know there are some brands that put out the same thing over and over again, and while they may sell and that's the goal, it lacks originality, which is what I look for. Both eyes came out beautifully 😍

[@mallyflower844]

Wow. These eye looks made your eye color look red! I love the variety of textures in this palette not to mention the beautiful packaging which can be mixed and matched with her other palettes. I’m loving cool tone palette releases since I can’t wear too many warm tones. Let us cool gone girls have our moment!!!

[@kristenpotter7100]

I think this is going to pair beautifully with the glam palette and also the nude palette, which I wish went deeper.

[@janicedevereux2839]

I can appreciate that Natasha put out this Xenon Pallet, which is the complete opposite of her most recent, I need a nude. Between the two pallets, she is making everybody happy, or at least most .

[@katefitzgerald1561]

This looks like the perfect companion palette to me. It will pair so well with many of her other palettes (eg circo loco) to add something new

[@kristinaesthereckart8858]

Good thought!

[@onestep2dee]

I agree. The Bronze palette will complement this palette very well because Bronze has so many warm tones in it that just don't suit my skin tone (I'm cool/rosy/fair). Bronze has the same issue of being too monochromatic as well in that there is not a variety of looks that can be created yet Bronze is one of her most popular palettes. Zenon will also complement the Glam palette. I can pull Blackest Black from My Dream palette. The Pastel palette can be used with Zenon to give more depth/contrast. There are pinky tones from Retro that I can use. I collect her palettes and love to mix & match my own color stories so that I can get the perfect color story for me. I so wish she had put the holes in her mini palettes so I could do the same thing.

[@angelafahlenkamp9311]

100% agree, ive been commenting how much this is an amazing companion palette that will go with anything in our collections 👍

[@cindyp5132]

@@onestep2dee Now there's an idea... Pull from other palettes to create the one that suits me! I'm super light cool-toned (know the struggle) with blue eyes and even my natural hair (ash blonde 7.5 with icy white highlights) is cool-toned!! I have trouble wearing anything warm & often neutrals. What's bothering me about the palette is the need for a true mauve transition to compliment the gray. But I can switch one out from another palette, maybe add a deep purple & matte black. What a great idea!! I'll never remember what the original palettes looked like or where the shades came from but who cares. Thanks for sharing 🤍

[@Punksimmons]

Totally agree!

I adore this palette and I had to get it, I think there’s not a lot of cool tone palettes and that’s why she brought this out

[@01vivrantthing]

This palette isn't for me but I think it's absolutely beautiful. I've seen people online asking for a midi xenon for a while, so I feel there's definitely a niche market for this. I appreciate Natasha so much for releasing a wide range of color stories to satisfy different wants/needs.

[@yeyemajoxi]

Está claro que esta paleta no es para todos, yo si la voy a comprar por que soy coleccionista y le agradezco mucho a Natasha Denona que se atreva a crear todo tipo de paletas, no solo las clásicas.

I got it and used it today , yeah it's alot of grey but really I just bought it for the cool tone shimmers and to use with other shades of matte cause I'm not always waring a grey eye. Today I used the darker dusty mauve matte from the ND mini Starlet and deepened it alittle with a PM mauvey tone and I used that pink shimmer on top and it turned out pretty. Yeah I paid alot to just for cool toned shimmers and to use multiple pallets for different mattes but I don't really mind . Almost everything she has is freaken gold or warmer shimmers so I'm happy.

Absolutely stunning palette. You can go light or heavy and it comes in very handy as a companion palette with the blacks (liner) and shimmers, many of which can be used with a wide range of other colours. I LOVE the looks this creates. Sophisticated, sexy and wearable. It also seems like many other influencers liked the palette more after using it. Like many ND palettes, the colour in the pan looks very different when laid down. There are endless variations of a silver smokey eye with this palette. I just turned 60 and have no problem creating light enough looks that I can pull off. (As opposed to looking like an old crazy witch who lives under the bridge) A ND cool tones palette? Sign me up.

[@melissagodwin1594]

Thank you for comparing it to Blowin’ Smoke. I’m actually glad ND came out with this. I’ve been curious about her formula as I haven’t tried any of her offerings yet. But the more KZbinrs play with it in their videos, the more inspiration I’ll get for my Blowin’ Smoke palette. I’ve heard that ND’s shimmers have greatly improved with the last few palettes, so I’m hoping to finally try her out in the near future. Those two shimmers in the bottom quad of the big palette are really calling to me. And the “blue” shimmer that you weren’t sure about in look 2 was definitely pulling blue-grey on camera. I personally think look 1 looks amazing on you!! And I really hope you’ll share the halo eye when you do it. I’d LOVE to see that.

[@angiesanchez238]

I been waiting for a palette like this since I stopped coloring my gray hair. I ordered it asap and it arrived today from the ND website. I needed this color palette because I now have all these color options in one palette. I can mix eyeshadow color from other palettes to create the cool eye looks I prefer. I am tired of using shades of brown when I know a cool look using this palette would look better with my hair. Morgan as always, I thank you for your videos. I appreciate your honesty.✌🏽

[@stephaniethat40somethinggi45]

The camera is definitely picking up the blue in that shimmer shade. It appears to be more of a blue shift, than an actual blue shade. Like, I can tell the base is black. It's super pretty, though.

[@Kimbyroseh]

Morgan, you need to try xenon with the my dream palette! I cannot get enough! Of course you’ll have your own take, but try this: Nurture all over lid as a base, and through crease/transition. Aspiration blend into inner and outer lid/crease(halo eye) Nightsky from xenon along upper lashline as liner, but make it smudgy and thick. Then use either Skift of Snowbow to dab over center of lid, up into crease. Wow. All I can say is wow. If you want a little more tint of blue, take Ebb and dab over Aspiration in the very outer corner and inner corner. But barely at all. Just a tiny bit. (Don’t cover night sky). Oh my gosh I can’t get enough of this look! Xenon has lots of good inner corner shades, but even better is the shade Whisper from the I Need A Nude palette. And of course use a combination of the same shades for lower lashline. Morgan, you need to try this!

[@MarniMedia]

Thank you for always coming through so fast with the detailed product reviews! When I first saw the promo photos of the Xenon palette, it looked like a press release before color photographs were invented. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Jessica-gm4bp]

I wish she’d done the xenon greys etc with some new pressed multichromes. She could have done some really deep, smoky ones that would benefit from a grey/black base. Even some really deep jewel toned glittery shades would have given more versatility and maybe delivered the slightly galactic/interstellar inspiration I think she has (from the packaging).

[@jesscamacho7448]

I’m not interested in buying the palette BUT I would like to buy ebb and cygnus as singles. The lack of a black wouldn’t bother me. We all have ten or more black shadows, and the charcoal gives depth in a more forgiving way. Thanks for the review! 💕

[@louisesharpy]

Her PRICES ARE GREAT. I MEAN PATRICK TA CHARGES $70 For less shades and her formula rules !! I tried his 2 palette and I didn’t like it. Sorry. I have mature lids. I personally love this one. Her shimmers are just POW. You have to remember the shades you don’t see too much difference. On darker skin tones they will pop ! It’s for all tones. I feel

[@bethanybsoprano]

The blue and pink have more color when you turn your head, almost like a duochrome. I agree, I'm really excited for this palette, but I do wish there was a bit more variety. I just got my colors done and found out I'm a Deep Winter, so I would've loved the pink to be more pink, and maybe for the palette to include a hunter green or dark blue-purple, just really cool-toned winter colors to go with the silvers, grays, and blacks. I don't have the mini or anything like it so I'm glad I bought it, but I probably would tweak it a bit. However, overall I'm still pleased that ND's palettes have all been so different from each other this year. Now we just need her to do a little more variety within the palettes themselves! Maybe she'll incorporate that feedback into future releases, she seems to listen to her fans!

[@bethanybsoprano]

I might actually pop some out and switch them with shades from My Dream, like the dark purple and the green/purple duochrome. Those could work well in this palette!

[@Lavishandlazy]

I can't say I love an all gray look, but I must say - this palette looks very useful. A high quality pure white shimmer is nearly impossible to find in palettes - when I do see it, it's chalky and dull, or flaky & fallout-y, or has that ugly yellow-gold reflect. Ditto for shimmery blacks and shimmery cool baby pinks - you almost never see. Instead you always get peachy gold, champagne (sometimes), peachy pink, or that iridescent yellow that looks white in the pan but it's a lie dang it! Heck I'll even take an ivory shimmer, but that's rare too. Those colors must be difficult to formulate as pressed powder shadows. I think Natasha saw this gap in the market, and she went there. I have to hand it to her, because I've been searching for these colors for forever. I'm so curious to see how Rime, Stellar and Cygnus are.

[@megantackett1921]

You used three different shades on your eye and they looked the same but you have to remember that with different skill level, different skin tones, and different bases underneathe those different shades, it wouldn't do that so other people would get different results using different applications. Not everyone is going to get your results just because you did. I saw blue when you used the navy shade, yet you stated you did,t see it so it's all on perspective honestly.

[@kristenpotter7100]

Agreed. The colors are all going to look the same when you apply them super lightly like that. It’s not a fair comparison.

[@BinahTarot]

I think most creators are preoccupied against this one and it shows. There are so many variations that can be done with some creativity.

[@MaryMacGregor-xq8xl]

Ladies, are you makeup artists? These are like paints, we need all the colours ! Natasha is just filling out her range of colours to her line, I really think yah need to look at her pallets as if you took them all out and lined up the shadows like you would paints . Shes offering up a wide range of colours as a whole. It’s easier to see it if you take them all out and line them up against each other. You will be able to see a bigger difference between the colours. It’s not just always about the “ colour story “ that’s laid out in the palette, that’s why you’re able to take them out and rearrange them , just need to think more creatively and you will enjoy them all more as a whole. Maybe I’m biased because I just started collecting and being more serious about makeup this year. 80% of my shadows are Natasha Denonas , so that’s mostly what my paints / shadows I use on my brushes, cheers 🥂 hope that helped some to see it in a better way!

[@diyac9554]

[@ElizabethValentine]

I just got mine. I have watched a few videos already saying the colors are all just shades of black and grey. In person I see more! The blacks all have different tones...black/blue, black/lavender, black/grey and then the sparkly black with ever so slight pinks and greens. Then the matching silver....whitish silver/pink, then one with lavender and then one with the coral peach. They are very slight and I do not think all folks will be able to see these colors.

To be honest, INAN is also repetitive shades over and over again. (I know, I have it.) I can honestly say my days of buying anything other than quads and quints is over. You can always do what you want with 4 shadows in a colour story you like and everyone has a black somewhere.

[@tonjamarshall4842]

True that, I've mostly BMO quads this year, and I've mainly reached just for them!

[@carolynhutchin8984]

INAD is the perfect introduction into high end makeup for newbies though. Better value than most high end quads. I'm an eyeshadow collector and I still adore it and reach for it nearly every day. When my daughter gets older, it's the exact kind of palette I'd be likely to gift her.

[@sydneybader998]

I've been saying this since people have been side eyeing xenon. INAN was incredibly repetitive. If people don't like this because they don't want a grey scale palette, fine. That's understandable. But to call this repetitive while worshipping INAN is short sighted.

That beige shade should’ve had a little bit more brown to it, the midnight blue should pull more blue, same about the pink shade. I think the undertones should’ve been better thought out, it just seems very redundant for me, I’ll be better off with the mini one! I also think the ghost face glamlite palette does a better job when it comes to grey scale palettes, it has a little bit more variety to it.

Honestly this is how I feel about the I Need A Nude Palette, both of them have lots of repetitive shades yet people on the Internet were raving about the Nude Palette saying YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED IT. This monotone palette trend needs to die in 2024 😒

[@Sheva.L]

Love how you did this review and agree with you on all accounts. The right eye is reading so so blue to me through my camera, but still agree that all the shades are very repetitive and not really so necessary.

[@kittykatklub1807]

Aren’t all Pat McGrath shades redundant also?

[@barbaracole709]

I ordered this, but I haven’t gotten it yet. I really like silver eyeshadow, so that is what drew me to it. I hope I won’t be disappointed.

[@bayyPiNAY]

this palette really brings out the color of your eyes 😍

This was a missed opportunity for blue toned greys and a Dutch duochrome with silver and blue reflects.

Natasha Denona is becoming the new ABH. A palette every couple of weeks including Mini's ,and 5 pans.. This is too much. Nobody gets to enjoy them fully. I was using the Yucca in July when I was visiting my family in Miami when The new one came out I forget the name is beautiful, now we have This black and white one and I'm getting whiplash.

[@luisaestrada6984]

Ya. It confirms my tights it just looks the same to me grate revew thank you for helping the consumer

[@Catlady8]

I actually love greys! They look good on green eyes. But it is a no-go for me since I don’t use black and I’m not paying $70 for 4 blacks🫤They really needed some more matte greys with various undertones like a dove grey with a lilac undertone.

[@moonbeammuse2767]

I think the new Huda palette or the BPerfect Gravity palette are both much more what I was hoping for from ND because I love her formulas. 💜

[@samanthanapoli997]

thanks so much morgan! i don’t feel bad now for missing out on it. it’s just not for me. but i’m glad and appreciative that she is trying different color stories!

[@karolloveskorn]

I figured the looks would look the same, so I am going to use the palette as a supplement to the Glam palette.

[@RunningNotStopping]

Girl I wish you would swatch to their full potential. I know you've said you do it to find out texture, however most people do more than one swipe across the lid when actually doing their makeup. We need you to go for it and make the swatches as rich as they can. That will tell the viewer what they need to know. ❤

[@cindyh303]

Yes and the swatches with a pinky don't really get a fair chance, especially if it's a matte 😂

[@willturnbull463]

why are people complaining about this not being an everyday/every person palette...? like there are literally so many everyday palettes out there already do we need another one?!?!? Its okay when something isn't for you. You do not need act like you've been personally slighted, it's a damn eyeshadow palette, if the colours don't work for you well guess what....? there's a million other options to choose from, from Natasha Denona alone, let alone other brands. Also y'all, these palettes are formulated with pro MUAs in mind. So yes colours may be redundant on you, but if you're someone whose working on all shades and undertones, the colours are helpful!

[@julisifer]

My job we have two color choices of scrubs we wear, black and grey. I think I can tone this down to make a day work look. I had enough Ulta points to get it for free. Fingers crossed it survives Ulta's shipping! Love the review, thank you so much!

[@avapodyl4954]

I wish you could recreate one of the ND looks, especially the one with double eyeliner! That would be so awesome.

[@chrissy_m_holmes]

I had commented on your shop/drop IG post that I’m not usually a Smokey eye palette but this was gorgeous and catches my eye. Oh how my thoughts have changed. 😂 I think ND’s promo pics are misleading. The “pinks” are not pink like she made them appeared to be. So I’m super glad I held off to see reviews. This is an easy pass. I feel like you can get these shades and make these looks with Glamlite’s Scream palette. I know they’re not exact but they’re close. Also, glamlite is much cheaper. Don’t get me wrong, I love ND’s formula but this just isn’t for me. 😊

[@AndreaBeenen]

I'm loving this palette. I could definitely go without Rime, Blizzard and Contrail. Would have loved those to be replaced with more Black/Deep Gray Shades. I wanted to love the Mini Xenon but only really liked the shades Gloom and Blackest Black. I can definitely see myself using this along side my Glam Palette 🖤

[@sikay6340]

Even though I don’t wear these shades all the time. I like to have them in my arsenal in her formula. It’s a lovely color story.

[@1973lyn]

I like the gray look which is your right eye, I kinda like this color .. it's unique 😍 thank you for early access reviews 😘🤗

[@mariaeguiluz999]

to me, your left eye is definitely pulling blue! I'd love to see a look with that dark blue and peony pink. I bet it'd be so pretty!

[@alicerichardson7615]

Love the look of this palette

[@maggendoshier22]

I love greys so I love this palette!😊

[@Lavishandlazy]

Also don't forget the pans are magnetized. So you can keep some of the key staple shades in here, and swap in some pops of color from her other palettes - and tailor it for your own preferences. I'm going to bring in Pastel, Yucca, even Zendo - I'm getting excited thinking of the possibilities! 🤩

[@jszgarrison]

“The Colour Pop palette is a dupe for the Xenon palette”, except the textures are completely different & the colors are slightly off. Well guess what? It’s not a dupe, is it?

[@kaymill5565]

I love this one.Thank you. You look lovely.
