Cranberry (2018)

Natasha Denona Cranberry Eyeshadow Palette 5 ($48.00 for 0.40 oz.) is a new holiday palette that features three shimmery shades and two mattes. The mattes are an interesting texture–they are the “Cream Powder” formula, and I could see it being a texture some enjoy and others don’t. They’re more cream than powder, but they’re a drier cream; they won’t really indent noticeably if the surface is pushed down, but they look like a more silicone-heavy cream eyeshadow applies. I found Sakura easier to work with than Blossom, but both shades were lighter (though more opaque in terms of coverage) and needed to built up to get closer to the color depth seen in the respective pan.

Natasha Denona Daisy (190CK) Crystal Eye Shadow

Daisy (190CK)

Daisy (190CK) is a medium pink with warm undertones but a mix of cooler pink and warmer gold sparkle. It had good pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer on top. I noticed that it left more of a sparkling, lavender sparkle as I blended out the edges, but on its own on my lid, it definitely looked like a warmer pink. What I was surprised by was how intensely sparkly it was but how little fallout there was when I applied it dry. The sparkles do move easily when blended out, so I’d recommend using a more precise (smaller) brush to diffuse the edges as necessary, particularly when working near more matte shades. It wore well for nine hours with very slight fallout over time.

Formula Overview

-

The majority of the brand's eyeshadows are quite pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing. The eyeshadows have improved over time, particularly with respect to longevity (without a primer). The original formula often creased on me within seven to eight hours, whereas the more current formula wears eight to nine hours with fading (instead of full-on creasing). The more matte finishes tend to be a bit more velvety, substantial, and less dry/powdery compared to prior iterations.

The metallic finish is often the creamiest, slightly denser in feel, but has excellent pigmentation, adhesion, and blendability. The sparkling shades can have some fallout, depending on how they're applied and how sparkly they are, so they sometimes work better with fingertips or a dampened brush; they can also run sheerer compared to other finishes.

Cream-Powders are the more unique formulation and tend to have firmer, almost stiff, consistencies and more semi-opaque, watercolor-esque coverage. They are longer-wearing, but they can take a few uses to learn how to use. This formula has also improved compared to when it first debuted--it is a bit more yielding now.

Natasha Denona Sakura (191CP) Cream-Powder Eye Shadow

Sakura (191CP)

Sakura (191CP) is a medium red with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. There was a mere hint of micro-shimmer strewn throughout, but it looked matte to my eye on my lid. The texture was denser and firmly-pressed, and it felt smooth and almost velvety, but it didn’t have any powderiness nor did it have the creamier, wetter feel of a cream eyeshadow (it is a “cream powder” finish). I didn’t think it would apply well, as it felt so firm that I expected stiffness, but I actually had no trouble picking it up with natural and synthetic brushes, even softer, more airy crease brushes. I did find that it tended to be easier to work with by building up the layers, particularly to get true-to-pan depth as there was opaque coverage but the color looked a few shades lighter unless layered. This shade blended out easily along my crease and blown out toward my brow bone. It stayed on well for almost nine and a half hours before fading a touch.

Natasha Denona Botanic (192DC) Duo-Chrome Eyeshadow

Botanic (192DC)

Botanic (192M) is a bright pop of medium orange with strong, yellow undertones and orange-to-pink shifting sparkle over a metallic sheen. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly to bare skin. The texture was slightly denser in the pan with light creaminess, but it didn’t feel thick nor was it too firm/dense in the pan to pick up well with brushes. There was a bit of fallout when initially applied (dry), but it didn’t have continuous fallout when worn–there was just another touch of fallout that was visible after nine hours of wear.

Natasha Denona Blossom (193CP) Cream-Powder Eye Shadow

Blossom (193CP)

Blossom (193CP) is a rich berry with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. There was very faint shimmer in the pan, and I could see it in the close-up photo of the swatch, but I didn’t really notice it on my lid. The texture was denser and firmer in feel in the pan–like an incredibly dense cream but without any slip or creaminess. I didn’t expect it to, but the color actually picked up quite well with a brush, even when I used a tapered crease brush to apply it into my crease, and it yielded mostly opaque coverage in a single layer but it doesn’t have the depth you see in the pan unless layered two to three times. There was no powderiness in the pan–it looked and applied more like a thin, drier cream-based product–but it didn’t indent in the pan like a true cream would. It took a bit more effort to really blend and even out. It wore well for nine and a half hours before creasing faintly, though it left a bit of a stain behind.

Natasha Denona Nude (140CP) Cream-Powder Eye Shadow

Nude (140CP)

Nude (140CP) is a light-medium is a golden peach with warm undertones and pink and gold sparkle over a metallic finish. This is the only repeat in the palette, and it was available in last year’s holiday palette. This year’s felt creamier–not quite as loosely-pressed to the touch–and seemed more reflective; the base seemed to do a better job of applying with nearly opaque coverage and adhering to my skin smoothly. It was just as sparkly, though, but had very little fallout during application and later on during wear (over eight and a half hours of wear). The “downside” is actually the shade is supposed to be sheer, and one has to use a very soft touch and feathery brush to actually achieve that. I was able to apply this with a flat, synthetic brush (dry) and get great results, little fallout, and smooth application.
