Natasha Denona Midi Retro Palette Review

Eye ShadowsEyesMakeup

First, the New Natasha Denona Midi Retro Palette is a complementary palette to the Natasha Denona Mini Retro Palette.  Therefore, you can use both Midi Retro and Mini Retro Palettes together to build out the color story for more shade choices. Specifically, the color story for the new 15 shade midi  palette consists of pink, burgundy and mauve eyeshadows.  Even more, the Mini Retro Palette eyeshadows are dreamy pastel shades of taupe-silver metallic, and  grey shades have green undertones.

When I first, saw the Midi Retro Palette, my first thought was, where are the green eyeshadows?  Indeed,  mini retro rounds out the pinks, burgundy and mauve shades in the Midi Retro Palette.  As a result, both palettes compliment each other.  Go ahead, and use them together!  Furthermore, the Midi Retro Palette, is the retro version of the cool, neutral  Natasha Denona Glam Eyeshadow Palette.

This is not  another bright pink color summer palette.  Instead, the New Midi Retro Palette is your perfect fall/winter/nighttime look  palette.  This is a sophisticated, romantic, rosy palette.  The eyeshadows are Natasha’s signature buttery, smooth, hydrating eyeshadow formula.  The formula is made with the highest pure color pigments.  And, the dazzling shades are made from chroma crystals, and luminous mineral pearls.

Also, the eyeshadow palette comes in a brushed mauve-pink  box. The 15 eyeshadow shades come in a a plastic mauve-pink case. The case has a magnetic closure.  Inside the case, underneath the lid, is a large mirror.  On the other side of the palette are the 15 eyeshadows, in three rows of five shades.  A quick word about the placement of the shades. For one thing, Natasha makes it easy for you to create eyeshadow looks.  One look is to use quadrants to create a look with 4 shades.  Another way to create a look is to use rows of 3.  Or, you can use shades that are close to the other shades you are using.  It is really easy to figure out. Last, the holes on back of the case allow you to use a sharp object, and pop the shades out.  Then, you can arrange them however you want.

THE NATASHA DENONA RETRO PALETTE SWATCHES

And, the shadows are long-lasting.  Just a tiny bit of kick up from the matte shades.  You can’t be intimidated by this palette.  It is super easy to discover different combinations of shades.  Look the palette over.  Then, look at the palette, and find  quadrants of 4 eyeshadows arranged with 2 shades on top and 2 shades underneath.  For example, the top two shades, starting on the left, go with the middle row shades that are directly underneath them. Or, use the middle row two shades, and go to the bottom row, and use those two shades. Also, try making a look with 3 shades.  Starting on the top, there are five shades across the first row.  However, you can make five different groups of three, going under each shade.  Last, use shades that are close to one another.  Once you get the hang of it, you’ll see how easy it is to use this palette. Last, if you are looking for more complimentary shades to use with this palette, then pull out your Mini Retro Palette!
