Natasha Denona Retro Palette Swatches
($65.00) is a new, smaller eyeshadow palette with 15 shades across a mix of shimmers, cream-powders, and mattes. I wish I had these swatches for you sooner, but my package was quite delayed. I hope to review as soon as I can!

If this had an equal # of greens, as did the mini, I’d be in serious trouble. Seeing the swatches, I know I can resist. I’ve actually hit pan in the mini.
Swatches are great, except maybe Amara.
Fully expect this to rate A- or higher, the performance seems there.
I’m still on the fence with this palette though. I barely touch my cranberry palette. Those tones make me look like an underslept rabbit. I see myself using maybe 8 of these shadows, so it’s probably worth it if it’s on discount.
Wearing amara today and it packs nicely, maybe a tad more difficult to blend out than most ND CM’s. It’s one of the shades which compelled me to buy the palette…runs a smidge deeper cooler than similar shades I have in stash.
Also, there are 3 repromotes from Lila – Nude Mauve, Helio, and Amara. I have barely touched those shades in that palette.
I really shouldn’t get this palette but probably will. It’s so pretty abd im a sucker for anything Natasha Denona. Her shadows are just wonderful. Maybe I can find a way to make them work…
I am so excited for your review! I’ve been going back and forth on this one and if you like it I might not be able to say no.
I’m glad you finally got it! I picked it up on app-only-access day because it’s the first Natasha Denona palette that’s grabbed me, and it’s BEAUTIFUL. I’m looking forward to playing with it more.
While I love the look of this I already have PML Divine Rose 1 & 2 and the Decadence palette. Pretty sure I can dupe all day long!
I’m covered on these colors, but ooh, it is lovely to look at! She did a good job adding the ND twist to make it a little unique.
Way more my speed than the Love Palette.
It is much warmer than I thought
Yikes! These look far less impressive than the ND ad shows.
I was really worried this one was going to suck me in, but there really are only a few shades I truly love.
My beloved, heavily panned huda’s mauve obsession covers fully this colour range that, as side node, I don’t wear so often anymore. However, I’m expecting a massive success, even if the market is saturated of this kind of colours
I already own the Sunrise and the Divine Rose and Huetopian Dream so Im good with my selection of Roses, Pinks, Oranges. And I also indulged in all 3 of your collabs with Sydney Grace and I love the inclusion of blues and greens and plums in them !
I cannot think of any reason I would need to purchase this palette or any other eye palette in the near or distant future!
I like Jude and Helio and could probably tolerate and use Apart but other than those 3 shades, there’s nothing in here to inspire me to buy this one. Just not my shades.
I think this is a gorgeous looking palette with all the lovely rose themed shades. Although there are too many cranberry shades for me, I do like some of the more subtle shades like Hello. As I have the UD Naked 3 and Smashbox’s Petal Metal, I am truly covered with those shades. But this is very pretty.
Oh, I have a lot to say about this palette. I was a little kid in the 60’s, all the shade NAMES are direct references to that era, but the color story most definitely is NOT. Cannot help but feel a little salty at the lack of TRULY retro tones from that historic time of change. Never saw my Mom, Aunts, older cousins, or anyone else wearing deep plums, burgundies or red toned eyeshadow back then! It was usually frosty or matte blues, greens, white, silver, beige, brown, with an occasional peach or pink. Opart ought to have been a mind-bending multi-chrome, Psychodelic does not fit a baby pink, IMHO.
Agreed. The name seems like such a… ripoff, in a way. Definitely soured me more than yet another generic pink palette should have.
Looking at this makes me want the Lila palette…. I just can’t see paying 129 for it since she has come out with the $65 palettes.. however I still love my Gold, Sunset and Biba- I purchased the Bronze palette and I love that one as well… I think my favorite is the Gold.. I am covered on the cranberry colors.. and with Divine Rose 1- I think I have the cool mauves – they are not really my thing.. however since Lila is being discontinued.. I am hoping she comes out with a new purple palette 🙂
Though not original, I love the colors in this palette. I’m not rushing out to get it since it is permanent and I am trying to get through what I have.
