The opulent shades of this palette offer a myriad of satin to metallic textures. They were created backstage on Hollywood sets by top makeup artists, and are perfect for creating chic, elegant, or fashion-forward eye looks, as well as for highlighting and contouring the face.

SWATCHES ♡ Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Palettes 28 | Purple-Blue and Green-Brown




From Natasha’s world to yours.

After years of being frustrated with eye shadows that were dull, dry, and difficult to blend, internationally renowned makeup artist Natasha Denona decided to develop her own. To create eye color that performed better than anything else on the market, she insisted on sourcing the finest ingredients from around the world.
Today, Natasha uses these eye shadows on celebrity clients, runway models, and students at the Natasha Denona Makeup Academy alike.


✮✮✮

Natasha Denona
Eyeshadow Palette 28


This pro-quality palette features 28 pans of ultra-pigmented eye color in a variety of unique finishes. The breakthrough formula glides smoothly across lids, delivering vivid color payoff with a silky-soft feel.
A finish for every occasion.
Natasha Denona Eyeshadow comes in four finishes, each packed with concentrated pigments and finely milled minerals such as mica and pearl. Moisturizing botanical oils create a creamy texture that sweeps over delicate skin without any fallout.
Pigment that goes on and on and on...
Super-saturated pigments deliver intense color payoff that stays vibrant from pan to skin. No fading, creasing, or smudging—even without primer.
Unlimited looks at your fingertips.
Never settle for the same old eye look again. From soft, shimmering neutrals to bold pops of color, the wide array of shades offers endless possibilities.
The total package.

Originally designed for a professional makeup artist’s kit, this sleek palette is perfectly packaged for any beauty lover on the go. The sturdy foam interior protects shadows from movement while the high-shine casing easily wipes clean.

The Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Palettes 28 retail for $239 for 28 x 0.07 oz (1.96 oz net. wt.) of product. For reference typical small eyeshadows on the market are 0.05 oz each - think MAC and Urban Decay eyeshadow pans.

The Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Palettes 28 come in a hard cardboard and foam palette with a white patent leather covering. The front of the packaging is embossed with Natasha Denona and a series of zeroes (not sure what the significance is...).

Inside we have the 28 eyeshadows arranged in 4 rows of 7 eyeshadows on a matte black grid. There is also a small mirror in the cover and an attached (and perforated) transparent sheet to protect the eyeshadows. 

The palette is sleek and lightweight and is held together by four magnetized tabs. The eyeshadows names and numbers are ONLY located on the box that these palettes come in so...that may not mean much to you or it may irritate you....

COLORS/SHADES
The Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Palettes 28 has a good variety of shades with a mix of neutrals with bright, bold shades mixed in. The selection of colors are based on the palette you choose. The Purple-Blue Palette features more cool tones with blues, purples, taupes and berries while the Green-Brown Palette has more warm earthy tones with greens and golds mixed in. 


TEXTURE & FINISH 
The Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Palettes 28 included various finishes from metallic to sparkling to duo-chromes and a couple of mattes. There are very few matte shades in the selection so you will need to combine with other shades from your collection.



INGREDIENTS
The Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Palettes 28 contain Talc and Mica in case these are a no-go for you or if you have sensitivities to these ingredients. Also, they use parabens for their preservative - again in case this is a no-go for you. These are the ingredients listed on my box and currently on the Beautylish website.
