Natasha Denona Lila Mini Eyeshadow Palette ($25.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a fun color story, and for as edited as it is, actually came together cohesively for me.

Natasha Denona Poison Berry (180CM) Creamy Matte Eye Shadow

Poison Berry (180CM)

Poison Berry (180CM) is a medium-dark purple with warmer pink undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque inn a single layer, and it built up to full coverage with less than half of a layer on top. The texture was soft, slightly drier and dustier than most of the brand’s mattes (but dryness in purple shades like this doesn’t seem to be uncommon across brands). It blended out well but had some fallout during application. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me.

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 Blue Dahlia (181DC) Duo-Chrome Eyeshadow

Blue Dahlia (181DC)

Blue Dahlia (181DC) is a deep purple with cool undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer or if one used a dampened brush to apply. The texture was fairly dense and required a heavier hand/denser brush in order to pick up product readily. The eyeshadow blended out well but was thicker compared to the mattes in the palette, so I felt like it didn’t blend with the mattes as well as it could have. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Natasha Denona Raisin (182CM) Creamy Matte Eye Shadow

Raisin (182CM)

Raisin (182CM) is a muted, medium plum with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was opaque, while the texture felt soft and smooth to the touch without being too powdery in the pan. However, it seemed more prone to absorbing natural oils on my lid that made it a little harder to blend out and avoid patchiness (and I still experienced some off this when I tried it over primer, it just wasn’t as bad). It lasted for just over eight hours on me.

Natasha Denona Linen (183M) Metallic Eye Shadow

Linen (183M)

Linen (183M) is a soft gold with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The consistency was smooth, lightly creamy, and dense without being thick or stiff in the pan. The color coverage was opaque in a single layer and blended out easily on my skin. It did seem to turn other shades a bit grayish when I used it on my brow bone/just above the crease area. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me.

Natasha Denona Flint (184CM) Creamy Matte Eye Shadow

Flint (184CM)

Flint (184CM) is a soft brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, velvety consistency that was slightly powdery in the pan but adhered well to bare skin. The eyeshadow blended out easily on my lid and didn’t seem to have much fallout, which surprised me based on the texture in the pan. It wore well for eight hours before I noticed slight fading.
