Burnt Terracotta/Green (1)

Natasha Denona Burnt Terracotta/Green (1) Duo Chrome Top Coat ($28.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a bright, medium orange-copper base with gold-to-green shifting shimmer. It had buildable color payoff rom semi-sheer to fully opaque (two to three layers with a brush or one layer with a fingertip). The texture was lightly creamy and felt smoother and was easier to use on the lid (with a brush or with fingertips) than the other two shades released in the same formula. The eyeshadow applied well to bare skin and stayed on for nine hours without fallout.

Formula Overview

$28.00/0.2 oz. - $140.00 Per Ounce

It's supposed to be a long-wearing, cream-powder hybrid that "applies like a sheer cream and sets" so it "won't fade, smudge, or settle into creases." The brand is silent on coverage but Sephora listed it as buildable from "sheer to semi-sheer," while Beautylish lists to "tap onto skin with your finger for intense payoff" and "a brush for a more subtle effect." The latter was what I read prior to testing, which I found mostly true--the color payoff was semi-sheer and buildable, often to full coverage if applied with fingertips or layered with a brush. I had trouble building up Lavender/Gold and Silver, as it was chunkier overall. The wear was eight to nine hours without creasing and slight fallout over time. I wish the texture was creamier, though, as I felt like they could have been easier and more forgiving to use if they were.

Brown Mauve/Purple (2)

Natasha Denona Brown Mauve/Purple (2) Duo Chrome Top Coat ($28.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a medium, copper with warm, brown undertones and sparkle that shifted from pink to violet. The texture was lightly creamy, but it felt more like a densely-packed powder than a cream eyeshadow to me (I think if it was just a bit creamier, it would be easier to work with and more versatile). It had semi-sheer, buildable pigmentation (up to opaque if used with fingertips) that blended out fairly well and lasted for nine hours on me with minimal fallout.

Lavender/Gold and Silver (3)

Natasha Denona Lavender/Gold and Silver (3) Duo Chrome Top Coat ($28.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a soft, periwinkle blue with a grayish cast and glitter that shifted from silver to gold. It had sheer to semi-sheer coverage, and the consistency felt drier and chunkier, which made it harder to apply evenly. I had some issues with the product going on and flaking away as I tried to blend it onto the skin. Overall, I felt like this could only be applied with fingertips, and due to the larger sparkles, there was little precision. It wore well for eight and a half hours with slight fallout over time.
