Natasha Denona I Need a Warm Palette

August 30, 2024

Natasha Denona has done it again. Just when I think she’s created the most beautiful palette, she creates yet another stunning launch even better than the last. Although I do think each palette is beautifully unique and different in their own way.

Natasha’s latest is the I Need a Warm Eyeshadow Palette ($69) and it has the most beautiful mix of neutral and neutral-warm tones. It’s absolutely stunning and perfect in every way. On my medium tan skin this pulls more neutral-warm but if you are fair this will probably pull more warm. Available now at Sephora and Ulta Beauty.

This palette has a beautiful mix of mattes and shimmers. She has a new formula for her mattes she calls “slip cream matte” and you have to touch the shadows in real life to understand how they’re powders but still creamy at the same time. Shimmers have a good range with smooth shimmers and then some more sparkly metallics.

There’s enough variation in this palette for me to create a full eye look from a soft base, soft crease shades, deeper shades for a soft liner and then a multitude of shimmers for different toppers or layering looks.

Swatches below:

I couldn’t get a good detail shot of the eye look but she has some great videos on her Instagram feed that really capture the details and variations of the shades in action. Here’s a look I did wearing: Mellow, Vim, Flashover, Fervor and Push. Also wearing:

Foundation: Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation 7N
Powder: Makeup By Mario SurrealSkin Soft Blur Setting Powder 2 Neutral Light
Set: Makeup by Mario SurrealSkin Soft Setting Spray
Blush: YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blush 37 Peachy Nude + 57 Coral Clash
Lips: Huda Beauty Faux Filler Gloss Honey (swatches here)
Mascara: CoverGirl 3D Enhancer Mascara
Nails: Olive and June Starfruit Shimmer Gloss Nail Polish

By popular request I did side by side swatches next to her I Need a Nude Palette (reviewed here) and her Golden Palette (also reviewed here). I think they’re all very different in beautiful ways. Each palette will look different on you depending on your skin tone and also undertone. Her I Need a Nude pulls more neutral-cool on me while her Golden pulls more like a neutral. This I Need a Warm is warmer, but more neutral-warm on my skin tone.

I Need a Warm versus I Need a Nude

I Need a Warm versus Golden

Bottom line 10/10. Textures and pigments are stunning, easy to blend, rich in pigment and long lasting. I think this is the best one she’s launched yet and I can’t wait to see her next creation.
