Love

Natasha Denona Love 15-Pan Small Eyeshadow Palette ($65.00 for 0.67 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that is in the smaller, more compact 15-pan format, though each shade is still quite large on a per-shade basis (0.044 oz.). I struggled with Dream, which was patchy and harder to blend with visible “dots” of color that seemed to sink into my my skin, and Trust was sheerer, more powdery, and prone to fallout. The remaining shades performed well with semi-opaque to opaque coverage, easy textures to work with, and good longevity.

First

First is a light-medium peach with strong, warm orange undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, velvety, and smooth without being too powdery nor too firmly pressed into the pan. It had opaque pigmentation that stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

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.

Lifetime

Lifetime is a light-medium orange with strong, warm undertones and flecks of greenish-gold and gold sparkle. The texture felt creamy, but it also was more loosely-pressed, so it applied best with gentle pressing and patting motions or else there was some fallout. It had opaque color payoff that lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Heartbeat

Heartbeat is a muted, medium-dark burgundy with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had rich color coverage in a single layer that was just shy of full opacity. The consistency was soft, blendable, and not too powdery nor too firmly pressed into the pan, so it was easy to work with and wasn’t prone to fallout. It wore well for nine hours before fading visibly on me.

Transparent

Transparent is a light-medium peach with pinker undertones and warmer, golden shimmer and sheen. The texture was smooth to the touch, firmer and slightly dense, so I found that it worked better with slightly fluffy-edged brushes, which helped to diffuse the edge better. It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff that stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Trust

Trust is a muted, medium-dark plum with cooler undertones and a matte finish. It had medium coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage with a second layer, but there was some fallout due to the more powdery, drier texture. While purple-leaning shades are known to be harder to formulate, I was surprised at how powdery it was compared to the other shades in the palette. It blended out without too much effort, though. There was light fading apparent after eight hours of wear.

Heart

Heart is a medium-dark red with neutral-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was easily built up to full coverage. The texture was smooth, velvety, and substantial without being too thick or too powdery, so it blended out easily but retained its opacity on my skin. It wore nicely for nine hours before fading a bit, and I didn’t notice much in the way of staining after removal.

Giving

Giving is a brighter, peachy-coral base with flecks of pink-to-violet shifting sparkle that gave it a more sparkling, metallic finish. It was intensely pigmented with a soft, slightly more loosely-pressed texture (so I’d use a lighter hand to avoid excess kicked up in the pan) that yielded a touch of fallout during application. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before I noticed fading.

Pure Love

Pure Love is a brighter, medium plum with subtle, warm undertones and cooler, pink-to-violet shimmer throughout. It had an incredibly smooth, lightly creamy texture that was rich and luxe to the touch, which made it a dream to work with. The eyeshadow had opaque pigmentation that lasted well for eight and a half hours before creasing faintly.

Commitment

Commitment is a deep burgundy with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It was more of a hybrid cream-powder formula, so it was dense and more firmly-pressed into the pan. It worked best with synthetic brushes to achieve good coverage that was buildable to full pigmentation, though I ultimately applied with a goat hair, fluffy crease brush for a more diffused effect without issue. It showed signs of fading after nine hours of wear.

Blind

Blind is a bright, light-medium pewter with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had opaque color coverage with a smooth, lightly creamy, denser texture that was easy to pick up and to apply to bare skin. The color stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly on me.

Soul (297CM)

Soul is a dusty, darker pink-coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer. The texture was slightly drier and thinner compared to the other mattes, though it applied evenly and blended out with little effort. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before I noticed fading.

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.

Passion

Passion is a deeper, reddish-plum with moderate, warm undertones and flecks of plum and gold micro-sparkle over a more pearly sheen. The texture was denser, lightly creamy but more firmly-pressed into the pan. I didn’t have any issues picking up product with my brush, but I’d recommend using a slightly denser, flatter brush to apply and lay down the product evenly. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.

Intense

Intense is a brighter, medium-dark pink with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smooth to the touch, velvety without being too powdery, and blendable on my skin. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading was visible.

Dream

Dream is a lighter purple with subtle, cool undertones and a mostly matte finish. The texture felt lightly creamy to the touch–like a cream-powder hybrid–but it was more like a powder once it came into contact with my skin. I had difficulty really diffusing and spreading this shade out evenly, though. Functionally, it worked better applied to the lid or in a more opaque, less-blended capacity as it looked somewhat patchy and “sank” into my pores (little visible dots of deeper color) that just would not even out. It stayed on well for nine hours before fading noticeably.

Thank you for your review! I was waiting for it before deciding whether to purchase. I love the color Blind (which you listed with the dupe of my favorite ABH shadow Cyborg from the Sultry palette). I would love to see a palette of this size from Natasha with lots of different metallic pewters, silvers, some golds, greens, etc. I think that would be stunning. I may purchase this palette. Lovely looks Christine.

Oh good. I’m still feeling excited about this release. It’s unfortunate Dream and Trust don’t perform as well, but not a dealbreaker for me in this case. I’ll use Colourpop’s SSS in “Daddy” (I hate the name) as my dupe for Dream if I decide it’s too troublesome. I can’t say I own a plummy/eggplant eyeshadow that doesn’t have some kind of patchiness, so that doesn’t bother me much either. Like you said they’re difficult to formulate. I’m sure there are better attempts, but I don’t think I own one. Otherwise I’m excited by all the other shades.

I got this Friday and am so excited about it! I’ve only played with it once to try out two looks. I am excited to dig into it more this week! Thanks for the review ❤️❤️

Random observations:
Saw a tutorial with Dream using a really dense natural haired brush and packing motions over an ABH eye primer unset.. Sonia G worker was the brush, I believe. I wore the shade on my lower lash and as always, I used NARS soft matte to prime my lower lash first.. so I think the shadow definitely needs a tacky base for adherence. Once it’s on, it stays… with that caveat. It’s that weird ND cream matte formula which is a love/hate for many.

Blind is an interesting complex shadow, reads with a purple tone swatched on me.

I like this palette a lot, but it’s not a cohesive one; more a dip and and grab for hits of intensIty which I typically pair with others which are more muted.

Francesca Avatar

Ok, there Is nothing so unique here, in my opinion. Your (beautiful) look can be reproduce with many many of the other palette in the market (even if ND’s It’s supposed to be One of best formula) and I’ve got dupes for almost everything… Except for some shades that are not my Cup of tea at all

I think this is going to be my first Natasha palette!!! The colours are GORGEOUS !! My favourite palettes are purple and pinks!! The Colorpop Lilac You A Lot, It’s My Pleasure and Huda Beauty’s Mercury Retrograde are my absolute FAVES!! So excited to add this to my collection!!! My wallet on the other hand…. Hoping it is worth the investment!!

AnneMarie Smit Avatar

My heart sinks, I’ve been searching for a purple like dream for ages. Most purples are too pink or mauve to my liking. The rest of the palette is stunning, but I won’t buy it when my favourite color will nor perform.

Just wondering what is the batch code of your palette coz I have the same opinion as yours. Mel Thompson on youtube mentioned hers was perfect and might be some batches have this problem. TIA
