Cranberry - Palette

More plumb than pictured

Gorgeous palette! The middle shade is actually very much of an eggplant sort of color, but the others are true to the picture. The two brownish colors have a hint of copper/pink that is SO flattering for my blue eyes. Love!

Great purple palette!

this is a stunning purple-themed palette! the two matte purples are both pigmented but not overly hard to blend as far as purples go. I really love the golden duochrome shade 20M True Gold. such a stunning gold! This palette offers depth and richness and sparkle all in one!

Lovely simmers, terrible patchy matte

This was my first time trying ND shadows, I was excited because of all the hype. But, the dark purple matte shade was incredibly patchy, hard to blend, and a strange texture (felt like a powder but applied like a dried out cream). The other bright purple matte was nice and easy to apply. The simmers were smooth and beautiful. The final straw was that my eyeshadow completely disappeared after a few hours. Super disappointing experience, I dont think it was worth it at all. Illegal stick with Pat Mcgrath for high impact shadows.

Dyed my contact purple (spoilers)

I the colors are pretty but looked a bit muddy on me. They blended pretty well. I like that the lid stays closed without a latch. I was going to give it 4 stars. HOWEVER. I drop of water hit my eyelid and some of the purple color dripped onto my shirt. I was able to get the stain out. One star down, now three star rating. THAT’S NOT ALL. The next morning I was putting in my contacts when I realized one of them was PURPLE. This eyeshadow dyed my contact PURPLE. I took another star off for that. Probably would’ve given it one star but the non purple colors seemed nice, and I do like the palette. Definitely returning it.

Came broken, not packed well.

Eyeshadows are lovely, but they don’t pack them well. Two of the matte shades came broken, and I didn’t want to deal with having to return it, so I ended up re-pressing them with some alcohol. There was zero paper/bubble wrap to cushion anything in the box.

I think you should try it

I’ve tried a lot of Natasha Denona products and I find them too be ok. I love this palette

Beautiful, high quality eyeshadow.

5 pan ND eyeshadow palettes are fantastic quality. Mattes are buttery & soft, the shimmers & duo chromes are a creamy powder with lots of color brilliance. It does takes some practice to get the most out of ND eyeshadow. These are not traditional powders that need to be packed on to have color payoff. I use brushes when I have time, but just a little of center pink on your finger and swipe over eyelid & lighter gold beige under brow for a quick & fresh eyeshadow that gets me out the door. They last a long time, I have some 5 pans by ND I purchased several years ago and they are still fresh & creamy.

fragile!

I ordered this palette twice because one of the eyeshadows in the first one arrived broken, the second time another one of the shades was also broken. The eyeshadows are extremely fragile!

My favorite palette.

Wonderful color palette. Stays looking great all day!

Jewel-toned khahki beauty

One of my top Natasha Denona eyeshadow palettes. Can still get many of these shades in her largest palette. If you like shimmery, smoky, metallic pearly eyes, and khahki grungy greens, you’ll love this. Deducted a star because formula is very soft and that makes it brittle and prone to breaking.

Purchased both 2 and 4, they arrived okay no damage. But the shades are way off than the pictures online. The gold the pink from color 4 are way off and gold was more like bronze. Not sure if I'll keep them. Always have high hope for ND, these are still pretty but just not what I expected.

Shadows will not blend

I've tried using these with different primers and without a primer, and always get the same result -- a patchy, blotchy disco-ball-shiny eye. The colours are absolutely lovely in the pan, but even the most delicate touch with high-quality brushes puts far, far too much product on the eye, giving an unsubtle, tacky-looking eye. I use Pat MCGrath's Moterhship palettes and have no problem creating a gorgeous, subtle eye, so I'm not intimidated by shimmers and metallics. The texture of the ND shadows is just not for me, I guess. I'm giving up on ND eyeshadows.
