17 Natasha Denona Metropolis Looks to Try
Here are 17 different color combinations using the new Natasha Denona Metropolis Eyeshadow Palette ($129.00). You can check out the original review here, and you can also see looks done with it here.
About This Series
Each look idea is centered around a “quad” of four shades with the expectation that one might bring in the appropriate brow bone or additional transitional shade based on skin tone. I know that I tend to use more like five or six shades in a typical look, but I think that four is a happy medium to give a good idea of the “core” color scheme of a look while giving you the ability to lighten/darken as desired. I have listed the colors in this order: inner lid, middle of lid, outer lid/crease, and crease/above crease.
You might see combinations that seem slightly repeated but placement will vary (e.g. a halo placement where the lightest and more shimmery shade is placed on the center) as placement can also create a different effect/look! You might also want to consider incorporating your favorite matte/shimmer shades (as applicable) to increase the versatility of certain palettes. Consider these ideas a jumping off point!

Love this. I went to the store and they told me you could use the quad system but also the Star palette diagonal system. And also L shapes for 7 shades. It works very well, for the most part.
Hooray – thank you, Christine! I was hoping you’d do this, but figured it might be tough with all of the holiday and fall releases. I’ve really been enjoying this palette so far, but I tend to get caught up in my own way of combining colors, so I appreciate a different perspective. Thanks again.
Absolutely stunning Christine – you have shown us many different ways to get the most out of this glorious palette. And you are so, so busy with all the new releases as well.
What a creative person you are. It does make me want to buy this palette.
Thank you for interpreting this palette in a way that is less intimidating for a new makeup enthusiast!
