NATASHA DENONA I NEED A COOL!! you might already have this..

[music] A 15 pan cool toned eyes shadow palettes of taes, grays, and smoky browns in mattes, metallics, and sparkling foiled finishes. Yummy. Sign me up. Natasha Denona I need a cool palette. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready for this? >> [singing] [gasps and laughter] >> Actually, when I first saw the reveal of this, I wasn't that excited about it because because I fear it might be too gray on me. And lately, I'm not liking gray toned cool toned colors on myself. For my fair cool tone girls, I know you're excited. But for me, I'm a little I'm a little worried. Now, comparing it to the photos I saw online, I do think it looks more gray online than it does in person. I do think it's more beautiful in person. So, for today's video, obviously, I'm going to be reviewing the brand new Natasha Denona I Need a Cool eyeshadow palette in the I need a line of the I need a nude. There's I need a warm, now there's I need a cool. But not only will I be testing this, I will also be swatching it. I will also be swatch comparing to some of the most requested palettes from Natasha Denona because one of my first thoughts about this palette, I was like, do I need a cool palette? Because I feel like I already have these shades. My biggest point in the reveal, I was like, is this not is this not the I need a nude palette without the peach tones? spoiler. Actually, these are quite different, but I'll get into that as well. But first, let's play, shall we? This palette is officially out. You can get this on the Natasha Denona website. I love their shipping. I love their packaging. I do recommend that. But if you tend to return products or it's just easier for you, you also can get get this at Ulta and Sephora. This is $72. The last couple of years, this has gone up in price. It used to be $69 for this style palette. No new shades, just classic formulas in a cool format. I don't see anything about this being limited edition and the I need a line has been out for a long time from Natasha. So, I do think this will be a permanent edition if I had to guess unless a formula goes really south, but I really don't think that's the case with this based on the swatches. So, without further ado, let's get a close look at this beauty. so you can see the swatches, the formulas, and then we will get them on my eyelids. So, here's a closer look at the packaging. It's really simple, very cute. Something that you couldn't see online is it has this what I guess is supposed to be like a wet texture. And what's unique about this packaging is it also is running along the back as well. So, it does feel textured here. But as you can see, with this being the midi size palette, there are holes so that you can pop out the colors that are inside the palette and customize as you would like. The palette is made in Italy with a 24-month shelf life. Here is the inside of the palette. Of course, you get a nice big mirror that stands up on its own, but this is what we're looking at. And it is quite gray based. I think it's very, very beautiful. Can't wait to see it on me to see if it actually pulls very gray on me. But we do have this pink tone here. These are a little bit more taupey. Um, and then here's where we have the more gray side of the palette. But this has no new formulas. These are all her signatures. Sparkling foiled, metallic, silky matte, and creamy matte. So in the shimmers, here are the metallics. And then there's these three sparkling foiled. And then the mattes. I honestly can't really tell too much of a difference between the creamy matte and silky matte. The silky matte is a little bit more lightweight and soft focus, whereas the creamy matte is really buttery and soft pressed. Let's get to swatching. I'm going to do each row at a time. I mean, these are stunning. This is slab. Moosh, gorgeous. Oh my gosh. Sterling, gorgeous. Zema. Ooh, these four just took my breath away. Wow, they swatched even better than I thought they would. Tatra Chime. Wow. Nimbus. This one must be a silky matte cuz it's not as fully pigmented. And then Glacier. Oh my gosh, you guys. Her shimmers today are swatching unreal. Cloud Crescent Shale. And then here's Chisel. I'm interested to see how this pulls on the skin cuz this is other than the pink shade, this is like the warmest shade. So for my skin tone, that's what I would use as a crease color. And final three, we have Cove, Zelda, and Cube. Oh my gosh, you guys, this palette is stunning. And it's swatched absolutely stunning as well. I hope when I put this on the eye, everything doesn't look too gray and mush because the swatches of this are gorgeous. All right, let's get a couple looks on the eyes. Really, what I'm going to be testing, I'm not looking to create the most beautiful looks. I want to see how gray this palette is. I want to make sure shades aren't too close to one another because that is something with these palettes with them being one tone really in mine with these palettes. I find it's difficult to create a multitude of looks. They all kind of look the same. So, that can be a good or bad thing depending on if you like the color story. So, I'm trying to see if we have versatility here. But, I am happy to report, as you saw, I mean, I was very, very impressed with the swatches in this palette. Very, very consistent, very creamy. honestly has swatched a little bit better than some of the more recent palettes I've launched. So, really happy about that. Now, when it comes to creating looks when Natasha Denona curates her palettes, you're really supposed to be able to create a look in any direction, horizontally, vertically, diagonally. You can also do it quad style if you so desire if you aren't the best or want to think about creating looks. So, I just think that that's a fun little fact if you aren't feeling inspired to create looks. All right, let's just get this on the eye. I'm so curious about a couple of these shades. So, I'm just patting out my concealer that I have on my eyelid. And I actually am going to start off on this side of the palette because I want to see how gray these will pull on me. So, I'm going to start off with Chisel, which is by far the warmest color in this palette. And it's not very warm, but it actually creates a really beautiful transition color for me. It creates a nice natural shadow that, as you can see, it will open up my eyes, create a faux crease situation. The shade is stunning. This is obviously not like pretty to look at, but so versatile, very essential, very much necessary. Am I making my point clear? Okay, that's the perfect shade. This will be one of my most used shades in this palette. I will probably start off almost every look with this shade. Love it. And it definitely does chisel the eyelid here, but that's as warm as it gets. So, let's see. Not that I need warm. This is the I need a cool palette, but I want cool taupe, not gray is the goal here. So, now I'm going to go in with slab, which is kind of the perfect looking taupe shade. And I'm going to pop this in the crease. Gorgeous. Blending in like a typical Natasha Denona palette. This is her creamy matte formulation, by the way. Not silky matte. Blended that itself out. Really beautiful. Let's take a little bit of Nimbus. This dark brown Nimbus is another creamy matte formula. If you like a smokey eye, this palette is going to be quite phenomenal for you. I would say there even is a nice dark black color. Cove, it's a little gray black, but still the options there. Beautiful blend. Each of those shades I feel like had its own purpose on the eyelid. Even though I blended them together, they did their own thing. And it is looking a little gray, but not too bad. I'm comfortable with this. Now, trying here's a little pinky. They describe it as a light icy dusty pink. It does pull pretty icy on the eyelid. This is her beautiful sparkling foiled formulation. It looks a little gray. I wish it looked slightly more pink and less silver, but pretty nonetheless. I've used the brownest shades in this palette, and I do feel like now that it's all said and done, it is pretty gray. Just going to take a little bit more of Nimbus out here in the outer corner. Now, Moosh right here is a metallic shade, and it's like a taupey shimmer shade. I'm going to run this along the lower lash line because I want to see if it pulls more brown or gray. It's a true taupe, but I do think a taupe leaning on the grayer side, which is not personally what I want. But again, this is the I need a cool palette. But I still am very comfortable with this look. I do think it is very pretty. And then I'm going to take some more of Nimbus. Then I'm just going to tighten this to the lash line since I do have a shimmer along the whole lower lash. I mean, this is very, very pretty. I do really like this look. I'm going to take a little bit of Zema right here, and I'm just going to brighten up the inner corner here. It's very pretty. And then cloud go right here. And this will just brighten up this area. But I can see it the gray tone of it. It's very visible, which is good because that's the color that I see in the pan. And then finally, I love that Cove is in here. I'm going to use that as a liner. And I'm just pressing this along my lash line with a angled brush. Then I'm blending out it just a little bit to make it look more smokey because I've decided this is the ultimate smokey palette. I mean, a really beautiful look that was very simple to do. Let me put on some lashes. The look is absolutely beautiful. I love it. Up my alley, but for it being like the warmest shades. Yeah, it's very, very gray. So, it only is going to go more gray, which is why for this next look, I want to do an icy look. I'm focusing on these six shades. I'm just making sure my eyelid is nice and clean. Now, I [snorts] like to put shades that are close together that look similar next to each other just to make sure they're there for a reason and are not duplicative. So, I'm taking Tatcha right here. [snorts] This is very cementy. Okay. But blends on in nicely. has a good amount of pigment, but it's not too much to where it's unflattering. And then I'm taking Cube Below, and I just want to make sure that these look different enough. I think Cube almost looks a little more green, but they are similar. The tones are different, but they're similar. Cube also provides a hint more depth. I don't know that having both of these in this palette was necessary. Yeah, they are close to each other, but it's a nice background for this look. I'm going to take some of Zelda, which is kind of like a Peter shade, and I'm going to put this on the outer half of my eyelid. And this shade is really nice. I love her metallics. They go on without having to be wet. That's how creamy they are. And it did kind of blend into the skin. I really like that actually. It's pretty. And then I'm going to take some of Crescent, which is more of a true bold silver metallic. These are not sparkling foileds, so they don't have reflex in there, like glittery reflex, but I think they're so pretty. And those two are very different from one another. And then I've seen Zema. I'm just going to do it in the inner part of the eyelid. But we're testing all of these silvers next to each other to see how they look. And they do look different. I've kind of blended them so you can't really tell, but I do think they serve different purposes. That said, it's redundant to put them all in the same look like I just did because they're similar enough to one another. But that actually is a really pretty silvery eye look. I feel like you could do something pretty if you put cloud all over the eyelid, but of course I needed to play with the shimmers. I'm going to take some of Glacier. Just pressing my finger in and getting those reflex. And I'm just going to put it all over because it's Natasha Denona. The sparkling foils is what it's all about. I mean, now that I'm mushing them all together, I don't really love this look anymore. But again, in terms of testing, there is a method to my madness. And as always, I will definitely be wearing this palette a lot more, sharing more looks on Instagram, and I'll come back and let you guys know my thoughts on this palette. I do like the simple silver look actually. I kind of blended away gray glacier. Honestly, why did that blend away so easily? It's a bit chunky, honestly, that glacier shade. Anyways, I think let me see if I massage it into the skin more. See? Ooh, Glacier is chunky. Ew, that looks terrible. [applause] Hold on. Now I got to test Glacier. I'm going to take this off and we're going to do a different a different look. Okay, so now that I saw how horrible Glacier looked on my eyelid, I am going to focus a look around it to make sure it wasn't just because of all that layering and that it is just fine. Um, so I'll just do some more of Tatcha. I actually like this color a lot. Even though it does give and cement, I like it. Okay. And then I'm going to actually just use this fluffy brush still. And I'm going to just lightly dusting cloud all over the eyelid just to brighten it all up. All right. So I'm going to actually use sterling and glacier together. So, I'm going to take some of Sterling, which is another one of the sparkling foils, and I'm going to put this just in the outer corner of the eyelid. Honestly, I just want to test it. I want to get a feel for it. Really pretty. I like that one. And that one is nice and creamy. Okay, now I'm going to go into Glacier. And I guess we're really going to get an icy look with this. You can really build this up to be quite thick. And I think that's why Yeah, Glacier is chunky, you guys. Even in my swatch, like gh. And it's actually not super glittery. I think it might look dry on the eyelid. Hold on. Let's see. Glacier, which is the focal point. Quite literally the centerpiece of this palette. I don't like it. It's chunky. It's not sticking to the eyelid. Okay, here we go. I'm finally getting it to work. There are so much prettier eyeshadows in this palette. You won't really catch me reaching for Glacier because its performance is a little unpredictable cuz sometimes flakes will fall off. Sometimes it'll stick and look chunky. Sometimes it won't. In just the couple of places I've put it, it's been inconsistent and it's not even really translating. Honestly, the other shades are so much prettier. Even Chime here performs so much better. Good to know that that's just not not it. Not a good shadow. So, I think I'll just take some of Sterling, which it's funny. It's the same formula, but it's just performing better. We're just going to lightly pat that all over the lid, and we'll just have a nice simple silver icy eye. A little bit of glitter fall out, but nothing crazy. Hey, I kind of like that iciness. I'm debating if I wanted to just do some black along the lower lash line and get it smokey or no, we'll just keep it nice and gray. I'm going to take Cube, run that along the lower lash, and then cloud again. And then I'm going to bring this in about halfway on the lower. Fun. Okay. And then when we put the lashes on, that would be cool. So, here's the final look. Just a simple silver eye. Very, very pretty. Very easy. like you didn't need to do all the stuff that I did. You could literally just use two eyeshadows and you will get this look. Now, I created two looks using the opposite ends of the palette from one another. And you can see the slightly different tones, but they're not crazy different, which leads me to believe once again with the I need a line. This is nothing new. You're not going to be able to get a ton of different looks. So, you have to make sure you really enjoy these colors in order to enjoy this palette. And while that is something I don't love about these palettes, I will say when I do love the color story, it doesn't even matter because I just love every single look that I get with the palette if I like the colors. So, I do love so many different palettes from her range despite them not giving a ton of looks. So, if this is your color story, I really do think that you will enjoy it. The only dot I ran ac across was Glacier, and you can get that to work. It's just for a $72 palette. you know, I'm going to be really, really picky. No, but I mean, I really do enjoy the quality of this palette. I think it's beautiful. As per usual, it's Natasha Denona style, and it is absolutely the opposite of I need a warm palette, and I do think it's quite different from I need a nude. I do think it's similar, well, you'll see in the swatches, but I do think it's similar to the Glam palette, but the Glam palette has some bronzy tones and whatnot. So, I like this palette. These are the kind of looks that you're going to get from this palette. But the number one question, how does this palette compare to her other palettes in the range that kind of look like they would be the same? Here are the swatch comparisons. So, the first palette that I wanted to compare the cool palette to here on the right is the Xenon palette. And I am so happy that these don't look similar at all. They barely had any shades that were worth swatching next to each other. The Xenon palette is just so much more bluebased gray versus it actually is making the cool palette look taupey. I was worried that if these two were too similar that that would mean that I need a cool would just be too gray for me. But seriously, they aren't even close. Xenon's completely different. Now, a bit of a different story is going to be the palette to the left here. glam palette, which when I put them side by side, I was like, the glam palette on the left looks much more brown and warm. The glam palette is cooler toned, but I know if you have a cool tone to your skin tone, the glam can look warm. And when I looked at them side by side, I was like, "No, they're different." But it's amazing what that backdrop to the shades can do in the palettes because once I actually got them swatched on the arm, you guys, I mean, these are [snorts] pretty [gasps] like these are closer than I wanted them to be. So, the top swatches, can you tell which one they are? And can you tell which one the bottom swatches are? Okay, if you can't tell, that means the palettes are going to be too close for you. The answer is the top swatches is the cool palette and the bottom swatches is the glam palette. And almost every shade from the cool palette had a pairing with the glam palette. I'm not saying they're they are the exact same shades, but you can see a lot of them are very very close. So, the layout of depths like mattes, light shades, dark shades are similar since most of these had somewhat of a match. Uh, like you'll see the pink here is warmer. The shades a bit warmer. The shade is more brown. The shade is more warm. So, there are differences to the shades that are going to make a difference on the eye maybe. But, yeah, I have to say these are pretty close. They're closer than I thought they were going to be. So, you're going to have to make a decision if you need the I need a cool palette if you already have the glam palette. All right. Now, these have similar backdrops to the shades. You can really compare the two palettes and see what's different. Now, what I want you to do, the palette on the right is the I need a nude. The palette on the left is the I need a cool. And the sun just went away. Hold on. Right. Better. So, Jose, black out the two peach shades. We wit and bobe. Okay. Bye, son. My point will still get across. It's fine. So, if you black out the two peach shades, the I need a nude I thought was going to look identical to I need a cool. And based on just the photos of I need a cool, I thought that I need a nude was going to be super duper duper close. But boy, was I wrong. I mean, definitely when you cover the two peach shades. Yeah, they look a lot closer, but I feel like these two palettes did not swatch close. I don't want to say at all, but I just noticed the tone of I need a nude was pulling almost pink, especially comparing it to I need a cool. So, these are the two outlier shades right here from I need a cool. Wait, from I need a nude. But with the glam palette, they just looked a lot closer. They had more matches. These the shades that I thought were the equivalent in the I need nude palette. They just weren't. The tone was completely different. So yeah, actually these are not nearly as close as I thought they were. Yeah, there are some matching shades, but not really, you guys. So I really think if you have I needed and nude, you can definitely get I need a cool and that the most similar palettes are definitely going to be Glam and Agnita. Time will tell with this palette because I do find when it comes to ND palettes, it takes a couple of months for me to really tell you how a palette ranks in her range and how often I end up reaching for it. But I don't think this is going to be an all-time most used favorite of mine just because these colors are very gray and they are very cool toned and that's just not what I'm wearing nowadays. But it is a very, very nice and beautiful palette. So, I hope you guys enjoyed this video and found it helpful. If you have any other questions about this palette, let me know down below. I'll have the link to purchase this palette if you are interested. And I'll see you guys in the next one. Bye, guys. Have a good one. It's delicious. >> [music]
