Natasha Denona Eyeshadow ($29.00 for 0.08 oz.) comes in 66 shades with four distinct finishes (Matte, Duo-Chrome, Metallic, and Sparkling). According to the brand, the eyeshadow formula is supposed to have “full, rich and intense color that won’t fade out, be “long-lasting,” and smooth. The majority of the shimmery shades were very pigmented with a soft consistency that was something just right and other times a little prone to crumbling/loosening in the pan, while the mattes were smooth but quite powdery, which resulted it color that didn’t adhere to bare skin as readily. The texture of most shades is soft, blendable, and most of the shimmery shades I’ve tested applied well to bare skin. The wear was fairly consistent, but there was some variance from shade to shade (which didn’t seem related to finish). The wear has ranged from five to eight hours, depending on the shade. Primer helps with longevity, adding two to three hours to the shade’s no-primer wear time, but they seem like shorter-wearing eyeshadows compared to most powder formulas I’ve tried.

Check out my first review for more depth about the formula as well as a pricing breakdown for singles compared to palettes.

Steel Blue (11V) is a muted, medium-dark blue with strong gray tones and a mostly matte finish. It was very soft but quite powdery, which resulted in sheer, uneven coverage when applied to bare skin–this one is imperative to apply over a good base. It seemed to have faded after five and a half hours. Marc Jacobs Beauty The Free Spirit No. 14 (LE, ) is more pigmented, warmer, better quality (90% similar).

Lavender Gray (40M) is a medium-dark, bronzy taupe with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The consistency was very soft, lightly powdery (a bit loose in the pan), but it blended out well and still had really good color payoff that didn’t sheer out easily. On me, the color wore well for seven and a half hours before creasing. Tom Ford Beauty Nude Dip #3 (LE, ) is lighter (95% similar). MAC Force of Nature #1 (LE, $21.00) is lighter (95% similar).

Koh Tao (89V) is a muted, medium powdery blue with cool undertones and a matte finish. While the eyeshadow is incredibly soft and smooth, it kicks up a lot of excess and is hard to apply evenly, as it sheers out due to the powderiness in the texture. It is not a shade that is really wearable without a good base/primer in place. It faded after six hours of wear. elf Oasis (P, $5.00) is cooler (95% similar). Inglot #369 (P, $6.00) is darker (90% similar). Make Up For Ever I212 Periwinkle (DC, $21.00) is cooler (90% similar). Sydney Grace Oasis (P, $5.25) is darker, cooler (85% similar).

Smoke (65V) is a muted, dark bluish-gray with cool undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had decent color payoff, but the more powdery consistency made it hard to apply and blend on the skin without it becoming patchy (another one that needs a primer to be usable). It wore for six and a half hours on me. Marc Jacobs Beauty Make Sure (PiP, ) is darker, brighter, cooler (90% similar). ColourPop Totally Crushin' (PiP, $4.50) is less shimmery, cooler (90% similar).

Chromatic (04M) is a bright silver with cooler undertones and a metallic sheen with slight sparkle. It had good color payoff with a really soft, slightly loose consistency that applies best with a firm, flat brush and then really packed on rather than blended (you may get a lot of fall out otherwise). It started to crease after seven hours on me. MAC Silver Coin (LE, $22.00) is more shimmery (95% similar). ColourPop First Class (PiP, $4.50) is less shimmery, cooler (95% similar). NARS Creeper (LE, $25.00) is more muted (95% similar). Tarte Flask (P, $14.00) is less shimmery, lighter (95% similar). Smashbox Rock Icon (PiP, ) is darker, more muted (90% similar).

Metallic Steel Blue (11M) is a muted, smoky blue with cool undertones and a frosted sheen. It had good color payoff, though consistency was a little drier and looser, so it really had to be patted onto the skin and slowly buffed in to minimize ragged/uneven edges.
