Ranking my Natasha Denona Palettes | Which ones are worth it?

Hey guys! Today I am going through all my Natasha Denona palettes and ranking them from the worst to the best! I really love the Natasha Denona formula, but the price tag is painful so we are going to go through them all, large and small, to see which ones are the best. I hope you enjoy it!

I feel like you can never go wrong with a Natasha Denona palette

[@redneckgirl3326]

Thanks to our Mandy, I bought a mini during Black Friday sales. Holy moly, Batman. I wish I could afford them all!

[@HonestyReviera]

So far not everyone agrees

[@juliahester1945]

Love the eyelet blouse! Summer statement!

[@KarrasSim]

Here for it! I was organizing my palettes this past weekend, and I was looking at my ND palettes. Some are soooo loves (Biba, My Dream, Gold), others I forget about (Glam, Retro, mini Love) so I’m curious to see how you rank yours! Your eyes looks absolutely amazing today! Perfect video to start my day ❤😊

[@marycole434]

I loved this. I was surprised not to see Biba? Really appreciate your perspective and insights. Thank you for great videos that are realistic looks!

[@tamisimcox2415]

Hello Mandy, I am new to your channel and love your outtakes! I will be binge watching in order going backwards. Keep up the honesty and humor! Love it!!!!

[@patriciakeegan4228]

I’m favoring Retro Glam palette right now too! Perfect summer looks! 😊

[@edkmall]

I love it! I have 3 mid sized and 5 of the minis. Such wonderful colors and quality. I’m a little late in finding her brand, especially at my age, but I’m glad I did. Thanks for sharing

[@shawnabbeautiful6771]

I love your out-takes at the end of your videos. Thanks for the video.

[@monak2069]

This was great! Love NitashaDenona! ❤️ Seriously, ND is my favorite when it comes to eyeshadow. Her concealer is pretty awesome, too. Hope you're having a wonderful and blessed week, Mandy.🌺💖

[@stephaniemaloney3650]

Love the video! I am so happy I had most of the mid pallettes myself, so no judgment here! !! I have been trying to work on building my ND collection since last year. And I just got the retro glam pallette off of ipsy for 15.00!! Can't wait to play with it! And love your eye look going to try to recreate it!!

[@jennifersaladino3363]

I got the Yucca palette and it's obscenely versatile and absolutely incredible. I hope you buy it when you start buying again, so many golds and shimmers, you will love. The shimmers are out of this world.

[@michellecaudill7936]

I know I feel the same way I like to do too, and the two make up items closing at the end. Always puts me in such a good mood! Thanks Mandy I love your channel. We need to grow your baby!

[@veronicasalas2666]

Thank you sooo much! Great video! I have her mini nude and absolutely love love the formula! Best eyeshadow I’ve ever worked with! So worth it! I’m adding the mini retro and mini Biba to my cart! 😊👍 I’d so love to see you do a video with the retro greens. Please please!

[@jeanninet.5010]

Loved this ranking! I also own quite a few of her mini, midi and 5 pan palettes. I'm waiting for her Biba to go on sale to pick that one up. I'm a little addicted to her shadows too!

[@sarahthorup1023]

I love watching this video because all of my favorites were ranked at the bottom 😂 my glam palette is one of my least used but I love her bronze and pastel ❤ All her stuff is so good though I think really it just comes down to personal preferences of shades and tones you like :) ps one of the best combos is combining the shades from her bronze and retro berries!

[@ekayburke]

Would love to see more looks and ideas with the Retro Glam Palette!

[@cathygiuliana9089]

I just got the ND Retro Glam palette in my Boxycharm/Ipsy box for June! It’s my first mid size ND palette! I can’t stop looking at it! I got a ND mini in Boxycharm last February but I haven’t used ii yet! This on I will definitely get some use out of! Thank you for a great video! Thoroughly enjoyed!🥰

[@marylove909]

I loved your intro! And I'm happy to see someone do a whole month of items they already have! Great idea!

[@brynnsims7030]

I love the mini biba too. It’s the only mini I have, but I have some of the midi palettes too. Thanks for your video!

[@jhaymond987]

I always get so happy when Midid Zendo gets some love! I feel like it always gets so much hate, and I love that one. I would say my most loved midis are retro & my dream. However, I don't have glam or yucca yet. I'm trying to decide which one I should pick up next. 🤔 As always... great video!!! ❤

[@lmullens75]

I am also light complected and blonde, and I am not ready to spend that much money on an eyeshadow palette, so I really really appreciate the way you went through everything so thoroughly. I will likely just pick up the altar ego versions, and if I really really love them, maybe I will get the real deal and pass the altar ego ones on to my granddaughters and niece.

[@christinachambers3271]

Would love to see your favorite look from each palette inserted. The colors are amazing but to see a finished look would be great.

[@hayleymorris5835]

I actually ordered the retro glam this week! Very excited to get it, it's my first ND midi. I'm also very interested in the retro and mini retro.

[@laural6788]

I'm excited that you picked Retro Gkam #1. I have that on order.

[@87Ashlee]

The mini nude is my number one!! It is SO gorgeous. Second is the mini pastel, absolutely beautiful but more bold so not for daily wear;) And yes your number one is on its way to me😍 I’m so glad it’s your favorite! And I want to collect more from ND, I love her formula. I hope you’re going to get the Yucca palette, I would love to see your review! Love from the Netherlands ❤️

[@Delieivey]

Totally agree with #1 and #2. Would LOVE a 7 looks with the #1 😍😍😍 ( and my glam squeaks too!)

[@laurenwhitaker17]

Mandy… you always look lovely, but today you are just GORGEOUS 💜

[@latashafeudale3183]

You should def do a video with more looks from the retro glam!

[@MyCleverHandle]

I have a couple of ND BABY palettes with three shades each; one is from the Glam palette, the other from the Retro. While you're wearing 7 different shades, I love that I can do a lasting but simple look with just two or three colors. ND truly is the best formula! Thanks Mandy!

[@casseyxcii]

Love this palette ranking! My #1 mini palette is also mini biba n my all time fav is my dream palette 🥰

[@ChristineMaz]

That retro glam palette is growing on me. I kind of want it now. I really really want the Safari palette. I hope she brings it back for a limited run. I’d like an all cream to powder palette from her.

[@sherrypettit5552]

I absolutely love my Glam palette. Got it a couple months ago. I make so many eye looks with it. It is a teacher. The Retroglam's greens are gorgeous

[@melindagenitempo2359]

Awesome ranking . I just got my first few Viseart pallettes and along with ND and Sydney Grace the 3 dreamy fav pallesttes

[@ayuk1943]

I loved this video thanks! But OMG you need the Yucca palette! It might be my new fave.

[@julieligon8177]

ND is the best! Thank you so much for the ranking... My favs are the glam & retro glam palettes!

[@sandylay5831]

I have the mini but sure would like to get the big glam that’s m colors. Enjoyed video

[@1liberaldem]

The only Natasha palette I have is the retro one, which I love. After seeing the swatches and your eye look, along with your comments, I just might have to splurge on the My Dream one! Oh, and thank you for mentioning Alter Ego for folks who just can't spend ND $! I've got their glam, bronze and love dupe palettes and love the quality.

[@taramccollum783]

I have the retro glam and glam palette and have the mini bronze because I am a cool toned girl A few months ago I downsized my makeup collection and kept only my Natasha Denona palettes and my colour pop stone cold fox and my favorite tarte palette.

[@laurasweeney5593]

The Glam palette is my holy grail, LOVE IT!

[@neidy8009]

Always Enjoy your videos ❤

[@nancyh.7420]

Thanks for this fun video. Since ND shadows are removable, have you considered just keeping the shades you like?

[@alishacuddy2473]

I enjoy my ND glam but sydney grace is my favorite brand ❤. I have to stop myself from buying some of the palettes since I don't think I'd use them much. I'd love to see a ranking of SG.

[@Kimbyroseh]

The mini biba is my favorite mini, too. Hands down. For some reason I never loved mini nude. I need to use that one again, maybe I can start to like it.

[@lindacalandra2999]

Fun video! Glam is my #1 ( I only have 3 ND palettes)

[@amylewis7563]

I agree 100% about the Bronze palette! I always have to pull out another single shadow or palette for that champagne. Essential! I just used my Ulta points for the Yucca pallette. ❤❤ Loved ur intro. 😂 Thanks for doing a whole month of nothing new. 😁😁

[@loidaholder2689]

I have 4 of the alter ego dupes for NA, including their dupe of the Metropolis, Gold, Retro and Sunrise and I’m happy with them. For a non lover of ND eyeshadows, I have 3 of them, being the Zendo my fav. I don’t like the price and the quality per se, but the color stories get me all the time. I want the new retro glam and her my dream and will get them and one day I will look the other way and get her Triochrome one, just because. That much for a palette is a sun!

[@maywattee]

Hi, love all the info you give, do you have a recommendation for cool tone neutral everyday palette for women of color, brown shadows are usually muddy(unless its a formula problem) Thanks

[@celestepiccolo6586]

Excellent ranking video. Also, I love your blouse and earrings.

[@MaryMacGregor-xq8xl]

I have to agree with you! I absolutely love your blouse Mandy, it’s very feminine and flattering on you and perfect for summer! Thanks again for another great video!

[@carolynmoore2144]

I HAD to have the Retro Glam palette. 😊 But I really struggle with how to be creative with anything but basic looks. Would love to see several different looks with this palette.

[@joexulaje]

Omg we have the same top 3! Albeit in different order, however I love them all almost equally ❤

[@YadiraStyle]

My glam palette also squeaks! 😂 I stayed away from Natasha because of it but recent got the I need nude palette. Your no 1 is gorgeous!

[@sig9girl]

Great video! I’ll have to rank my Natasha Denona Pallets!

[@mistyguinto2503]

Will you be reviewing the new Yucca palette? I’d love to see your review.

[@kerriwright4593]

Your top is adorable 😍

[@GlitterLife0216]

I own all of ND’s large and midi (except for Zendo), to include Star and her two 28 pan palettes and Safari is one of my faves.

[@jenp.6735]

I have been debating about getting the Retro Glam palette and now I am convinced. I haven’t bought an eyeshadow palette yet this year so I want it to be a good one. I love greens and don’t have anything similar in my collection. Now if I can just get a $100 Sephora gift card with my points, I will be set.

[@martelangeland]

I think a lot of the ND colors pulls a little yellow/orange on me, so while I thought the mini glam would be great, it looks a bit muddy against my quite pinkish skintone. But the mini retro, the 15 pan glam and the retro are gorgeous!

[@kerriwright4593]

I need to use the my dream palette more. The retro palette is probably my favorite because I typically use berries as neutrals lol and if I need a subdued look I reach for it a lot. Plus the very white based pink is so different and the perfect shade for my fair cool skin to blend out with.

[@katherinekelly9689]

Hi Mandy, Natasha Denona is my favourite eyeshadow palette brand, Natasha has the best formulas in her palettes, and they can really make your eyes pop when wearing them, the midi size is fantastic to really create stunning eyeshadow looks with, Natasha’s mini palettes are perfect for travelling, pack 3 of her minis i your makeup case and you get one of her midi palettes, i enjoyed watching this video. Love Katherine xoxo

[@angelajanelomax5540]

You have a new Subby, i watched your easy eyeshadow look. Wet and wild one eye. But i loved your Hair, can you show how you get curl xxx ❤️❤️❤️

[@ProfMary]

Thank you for this complete ranking of all your ND palettes, very helpful. I also really appreciate you throwing in the outtakes at the end. I look forward to them. A suggestion-you are always thanking 'new' subscribers but I feel you should show appreciation for your loyal subscribers that keep coming back each week to see what you have for us. Just a few words thanking your loyal followers. It might also encourage new subscribers to become loyal. just a thought.

[@GroovyCatMom]

I love LOVE love the Sunrise palette!! The Zendo is a palette purchase regret for me.

[@Kimbyroseh]

The my dream palette is by far my favorite midi. And then for my next favorite…. It’s kind of a tie between zendo, bronze and retro. I keep changing my mind all the time between those three, and maybe it depends on the season. After that, number 5 would be the glam palette. I do really like her face and eye palettes too. But I need them both, light and dark, lol. I need a lighter transition shade from the light, the lightest shimmer, and the highlight from the light. And the blush and deep shades from the deep palette, and the inner lid shade from the deep palette is such a good shade!

[@kerriwright4593]

I should pull out my sunrise palette. It's the very first Natasha Denona palette I got. It really is pretty and those colors seem to be back this year.

[@lindsay479]

Would LOVE to see a 7 looks video with Dream and Retro glam!

[@karenkushla3975]

I love ND palettes and have quite a few in my collection. That said, I would switch Glam for #1 and Retro Glam for #2. I get more use out of Glam, especially because the shades flatter my hazel brown eyes. Retro Glam is a fun palette to play with, however.

[@ks3484]

I recently discovered your KZbin channel and I’m really enjoying your videos. I have subscribed 😊 Would you mind sharing where you got your shirt from? It’s beautiful.

[@kerriwright4593]

I keep going back and forth on getting the retro glam palette.

[@kerriwright4593]

I really loved the circo loco the year I got it but I haven't used it since. I also have one of her big expensive palettes in the purple blue color way that I'm not impressed with. And my other one is metropolis I believe and I thought I'd use it more than I have.

[@kerriwright4593]

I really like the mini retro too.

[@kellywolfe5930]

I always spray a little bit of cooking spray on my doors and hinges when they squeak like that 💙💛❤💚💜

[@215pcb]

My glam palette is squeaky too!!! I bought the day it was released! Idk if that’s changed with recent packaging

[@kathleenmartin5264]

I love the mini love, but I won the larger one (im thrilled to have one) But its definitely not something i would have bought i never know what to do with it. I also love the mini retro so much i bought the larger one, love both. But cant decide if i want to get the mini biba or the mini glam

[@reneebertram2365]

I got a kick out of your "fatal flaws" comment about the bronzer pallette. I totally agree. Being blue eyed I'd like to have seen a lighter mat shade.

[@amandinemandelchen1480]

Will you get the yucca palette? I would love to see a 7-look video with it

[@reneesoli5345]

ND and SG are my two favorites.

[@charlottegile1188]

I’ve added a mini ND pallet to my Sephora shopping cart while watching this video. How much better or how does these pallets compare to ColourPop which I now have several of and also Juvia’s Place? I love the look you created for today’s video.

[@kerriesler9062]

ND shadows almost blend themselves they are so good.

[@kittencakes9836]

I just am shocked you don’t have the big Biba palette! It looks boring but man is it amazing! A row of warmer tones a row of rosy tones a row of cooler you can’t mess it up! The metallic shade “Marilyn” is incredible. I bought this palette and it sat there as I was like this is underwhelming.. then I finally played with it and I literally cannot put it down!

[@trac6009]

I found your channel recently and I love it❤ Im a fair skinned red head so I love your makeup tutorials ❤ I've learned so many things I can use on my face❤

Hi Mandy! Video just started and the earrings stole the show! Is there a link for them?

YES! I want to the earrings link too 😊

[@raquelrobinson2919]

You have got to get the Gold palette if she brings it back. Will not regret it, it’s my #1 from ND

[@claudiacanales2662]

Agreewith you on mini Biba being awesome but I disagree on the Bronze palette.....that palette on my brown eyes is AMAZING!!!!

[@cindycareme]

Mandy? What are your thoughts on the purple/blue and green/brown Palette 28 of hers?

[@kerriwright4593]

I think I've only used the zendo palette a couple times. I think I struggled mixing the warm and cool tones together.

[@Terri1373]

I've been building up a wee collection of ND this year. I have to say though. The shimmers make my eyes look very old and crepey and i dont have lots of wrinkles. Maybe they're just chunky glitters in them i dont know. Maybe it's my primer or I'm dehydrated? I use too faced shadow insurance. Been looking into viseart recently as they seem to have smoother shinmers. It's not easy finding that these days. X

[@kerriwright4593]

I struggled to get a look with the love palette. I tried a few times and the shadows didn't layer well. I wanted a red and purple look and couldn't get it. Maybe I should give it another chance

[@JaxDianne]

I only have your #3 & #4 in the larger size, but I have #2 in my shopping bag. Hope mine doesn’t squeak like yours when I finally buy it. 🤣

[@GippslandCNC]

I just caved an ordered the new Yucca palette. I picked up the love palette 50% off , I probably didn't like it enough at full price (I'd pick others over it) but couldn't go past it.

[@kellywolfe5930]

Great video always a like 👍👍 I'm sending out love to everyone 💙💛❤💚 Natasha denona and Pat McGrath along with some others they are still on my wants list for sure 💙💛❤💚💜

[@ginamiller6754]

I’m late to the game with Natasha demons eye palettes. In the last Sephora sale I got the glam palette for myself & my daughter for her birthday in August. In the next sale I will have 20 % off so I think I will get both of us 2 more (each). She has medium warm skin and green eyes. I’m trying to decide which ones to get. Any advice?

[@matildeosorio8257]

The Mini Biba is definitely my favorite

[@MoonlitSunflower]

I own too much makeup to judge you. The packaging on the minis break on me if I clean them so stopped buying from ND. Also tye shadows seem to dry out quickly. I haven't loved a color storu enough from the midis to buy one. I am hearing quite a bit about the glam palette. I thought for sure you had the biba mini on. The tones are similar. Have you tried Lorac's mini pro palettes? I have sparkling and simmering. Simmering is very similar to the mini nude palette. The champagne is fabulous too :) P.S: I think Lorac improved their formula since the days they were popular on on beauty tube. I was quite unimpressed a few years ago when I tried them.

[@patriciamaguire9914]

please do a glam palette set of looks for us?

[@EnvyBlu]

I have the Alter Ego Shadow Kiss palette that, I believe, dupes the ND Glam palette, and I love it! The formula is sooo soft and buttery. I don’t have the Glam palette but I can imagine those two are pretty much identical. I’ve seen videos of people saying the formulas are almost identical. I highly recommend Alter Ego! I’m going to get their MidSummer palette next. I have some Ulta points saved up and I can’t decide whether to buy ABH Cosmo or a ND Palette. 🫤🤷🏻‍♀️

[@rree4551]

🌷🌷🌷Great video but even better top you have on! 🌷🌷🌷

[@thebeautyafterthe40s]

$69 for 15 eyeshadows is NOT INSANELY EXPENSIVE, think about Tom Ford quads, they are 4 and are in $89 ea. THOSE ARE INSANELY EXPENSIVE

[@someonesomewhere22]

I think the “expensive” term has been attached since the first ND palettes used to be $220+. Back when Tati used to recommend them (even though her audience was mainly drugstore fans). So they are still considered expensive even though they are on par with Huda and other brands at sephora.

[@thebeautyafterthe40s]

⁠​⁠@@someonesomewhere22 understand your point of view, but this palette is not in the price of $220, in fact, those big pallets containing 28 colors are already discontinued.

[@someonesomewhere22]

@@thebeautyafterthe40s I just want want to clarify that I agree with your point that they are not expensive. Or at least not massively expensive as they are within the normal range at Sephora. I think people think of the brand as “expensive” because of what I have mentioned. But for the quality of the eyeshadows I don’t think $4.6 per shadow is expensive when comparing that Hourglass charges $20 per shadow

[@HonestyReviera]

It is expensive for the palette, since each palette is just one shade range. Don’t normalise it please. This price shouldn’t be standard price !

[@kellygarland63]

I pay $100 or so for ND palettes in canada. Still worth every penny.

[@Patriot1789]

The heck with the eye shadows . . . Where’s that gorgeous blouse from!!!!!?

[@BreezyStreamy]

Try a lubricant like bike grease because WD40 isn't and it would be sticky. You can use an old brush to brush on the metal pieces~
