Palette 02

Natasha Denona Palette 02 Eyeshadow Palette 5 ($48.00 for 0.4 oz.) includes four shimmery shades and one matte in a slightly more peach/rose-leaning color story.  I think the five shades complemented each other well, though I'd say Lavender Gray could have been cooler-toned and offered an even better color story and added versatility.  All five shades were vastly improved from the originals I tested three years ago, as the four shimmer shades were less creamy (but in a good way) and stayed on longer without creasing.

Back story: I purchased all of the 5-pan palettes a few months ago to re-review because if there’s a brand that has a more constant, evolving formula… it is Natasha Denona (the ingredient list is substantially different today compared to the original release and even from a few years ago). I have better experiences with the more updated formulas, so it seemed like a good way to test the current formula as well as get updated swatches. This week, the brand is running buy one, get one free on the 5-pan palettes… so… here we are… frantically reviewing them!
