Natasha Denona Glam Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Glam

Natasha Denona Glam 15-Pan Small Eyeshadow Palette ($65.00 for 0.67 oz.) is a new, seemingly-permanent eyeshadow palette with five matte shades and 10 shimmer shades (most being fairly metallic). It’s supposed to be a cooler-toned color story, though I found it was more neutral-toned to less warm-toned (relative to the brand’s other palettes) but wouldn’t call it truly cool-toned. The mattes tended to go on a bit deeper when applied than they appeared in the pan, which I find is not unusual for mattes from the brand.

The color story doesn’t seem as well-balanced as past releases, as it actually felt like at least one matte, if not two, would have made it more versatile, especially as shades like 332M, 334M, and 322K are quite similar and would function similarly, so you could have easily skipped two of those in lieu of a matte shade between 326CM and 325CM in depth, so something more medium-dark, and something between 325CM and 327CM – so something darker but not near-black.

One matte shade could have been more pigmented, and the formula itself just seemed a little more prone to darkening depending on natural oils and the like on the skin, but otherwise, the remaining 14 shades were pigmented, blendable, easy to work with, and long-wearing.

Every time I look at the naming scheme and how it’s arranged, it just doesn’t seem that user-friendly. I feel like if you didn’t know where to place colors, you probably would have trouble figuring out which ones to pair together! The reality is that someone who is newer to makeup is more likely to use a two or three shades in a look rather than several (inner corner, center eye lid, outer eye lid, crease/smoke/lash line, blend/transition, brow bone).

Below, I tried to rearrange it to better reflect five distinct trios with more of a gradient effect of light to dark, which made more sense to me and how I’ve tried to put together/share color combinations for readers that need help putting them together or are looking for additional inspiration. The base format was to arrange in columns that gave a trio of shades that could be used together, so they had more of a natural gradient with the shimmers and were arranged more tonally. It was also designed to work as trios diagonally, and you could also use two shimmers from a column and coordinate with any of the three mattes below it (so basically +/- left or right from the matte shade directly below the shimmers). This resulted in the left and right columns being slightly cooler-toned and the center columns (three and four, respectively) being warmer-toned.

I spoke at length regarding naming the lightest shade in the palette “Transition” here and why it’s disappointing that the default frame of reference for the palette is for placement for a lighter skin tone, which has historically been the frame of reference used within the industry as the exclusion of medium-dark and deeper BIPOC.

For those who felt it necessary to speak over deeper BIPOC on that post (and there were a surprising number of comments that violated our comment policy and didn’t get published at all) as well as on my Instagram post, I tried to explain why I feel it critical to try to create, encourage, or otherwise support forward-progress to reducing harm caused within the beauty industry. Whether that’s calling out a brand for cultural appropriation, poor shade ranges, or lack of thought when it comes to choosing or assigning names, they work to be an ally to lift up and support BIPOC voices on those issues.

It would be nice if makeup was “just for fun,” but the relationship people have with beauty is often complicated and nuanced – from the social standards attached to and propagated by the industry to the historic exclusion of BIPOC (especially deeper BIPOC) to the highly gendered terminology that is found everywhere (from marketing to labeling on websites) — and there are plenty of issues and baggage associated with participating or not participating in beauty/makeup! There is no shortage of ways it can and does go a lot deeper for some people.

I’ve always felt important and have tried to work toward making and ensuring that Temptalia is inclusive and welcoming. Whether that’s describing a shade as beige rather than “nude” or reminding someone that such-and-such color would be great for a different skin tone. I want readers to feel as welcome wearing little-to-no makeup to all the makeup to blue eyeshadow with blue lipstick and blue blush to brown eyeshadow with brown blush to brown lipstick. I want readers to have to deal with a few less microaggressions when they’re in my space or on my platforms.

If we can reduce the daily microaggressions that marginalized people experience, this is a good, worthwhile outcome. Why would you want to make someone, who is already going through trauma, feel worse in what they’d like to be “fun” or be an “escape”? We can’t always have a direct, immediate impact at a high level for “big” change, but we can all make smaller adjustments to our behaviors, from the words we use to how we treat others, for improvement.

For those who felt it necessary to say how “tired” or “bored” they are, or the ones who found it necessary to tell others to “shut up” (including me being told to shut up and review) about something that doesn’t bother you/impact you, I’d say to ask why it was more important to shut down someone’s feelings, why it’ was more important to dismiss, criticize, and invalidate the expression of someone’s feelings, rather than simply not engaging in a conversation. We can expect and want better at both a macro and micro level.

I’d love to be part of an industry where there was nothing to criticize, no brands to hold accountable, because the space was perfect, but it’s not, and I hope that I can be a small part of inching it closer and closer to being a better space while I’m here.

Glam (320M)

Glam (320M) is a medium, rosy pink with strong, warm undertones and a bright metallic finish. It had rich color coverage with a smooth, lightly creamy and moderately dense texture that was silky to the touch but picked up beautifully with a brush without being difficult to pick up. It applied well to bare skin, blended out with ease, and lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$29.00/0.08 oz. - $362.50 Per Ounce

The majority of the brand's eyeshadows are quite pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing. The eyeshadows have improved over time, particularly with respect to longevity (without a primer). The original formula often creased on me within seven to eight hours, whereas the more current formula wears eight to nine hours with fading (instead of full-on creasing). The more matte finishes tend to be a bit more velvety, substantial, and less dry/powdery compared to prior iterations.

The metallic finish is often the creamiest, slightly denser in feel, but has excellent pigmentation, adhesion, and blendability. The sparkling shades can have some fallout, depending on how they're applied and how sparkly they are, so they sometimes work better with fingertips or a dampened brush; they can also run sheerer compared to other finishes.

Cream-Powders are the more unique formulation and tend to have firmer, almost stiff, consistencies and more semi-opaque, watercolor-esque coverage. They are longer-wearing, but they can take a few uses to learn how to use. This formula has also improved compared to when it first debuted--it is a bit more yielding now.

Glam (321M)

Glam (321M) is a light-medium, taupe-brown with neutral-to-warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The texture was firmer, slightly stiffer to work with but seemed to soften and become more yielding after a few uses. It had nearly opaque color coverage, which deepened as the consistency softened up. It applied better than anticipated as it seemed like other metallics in the palette in performance (blendable, not prone to fallout, etc.). This shade stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Glam (322K)

Glam (322K) is a medium, pinky-peach with moderate, warm undertones and a lightly sparkling, metallic finish. It was a lot less chunky and less sparkly compared to most of the Crystal finish shades. It had a lightly creamy texture that seemed to be more loosely-pressed compared to most metallics in the palette but wasn’t prone to fallout. The eyeshadow had nearly opaque coverage in a single layer, and it wore well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Glam (323CM)

Glam (323CM) is a light-medium, taupe-brown with neutral undertones paired with a matte finish. It had an incredibly soft, velvety texture–more substantial, so it had excellent color payoff without being too powdery–that applied evenly and blended out readily. The color lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Glam (324CM)

Glam (324CM) is a very light taupe that had a warmer, beige overtone but darkened slightly and appeared grayer applied. There was a bit of unevenness (almost speckled) in that interplay of warmer beige/cooler gray when swatched on my arm but wasn’t noticeable when I applied to my eye and had blended it out. It had good color coverage with a soft, lightly powdery texture that was more substantial and velvety but wasn’t as top tier as the brand’s mattes have been in the last couple of years. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Glam (325CM)

Glam (325CM) is a muted, medium-dark olive brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The texture was soft, slightly thinner and a little more powdery than other mattes in the palette, but it was very easy to work with as it was blendable and buildable without being prone to sheering out or having fallout. It wore well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.

Glam (329M)

Glam (329M) is a medium grayish-taupe with neutral-to-warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, creamy consistency that was dense but yielding, so it picked up readily with a dry brush (but could certainly be used with a fingertip or with a dampened brush for even more intensity). It wore nicely for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.

Glam (330M)

Glam (330M) is a deep gold with moderate, warm undertones and a lightly sparkling, metallic finish. The consistency was denser, slightly thicker, compared to other shades with rich color coverage achieved in a single layer. It picked up well enough with a brush but was a shade that had less fallout when applied with a fingertip. The eyeshadow stayed on well for eight and a half hours but had a smidgen of fallout over time.

Glam (331M)

Glam (331M) is a deep brown with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had excellent color payoff in a single layer, which applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even lay down of color that diffused easily along the edges. The texture was smooth to the touch, dense but not overly firm, and easy to work with. It lasted well for nine hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview

$29.00/0.08 oz. - $362.50 Per Ounce

The majority of the brand's eyeshadows are quite pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing. The eyeshadows have improved over time, particularly with respect to longevity (without a primer). The original formula often creased on me within seven to eight hours, whereas the more current formula wears eight to nine hours with fading (instead of full-on creasing). The more matte finishes tend to be a bit more velvety, substantial, and less dry/powdery compared to prior iterations.

The metallic finish is often the creamiest, slightly denser in feel, but has excellent pigmentation, adhesion, and blendability. The sparkling shades can have some fallout, depending on how they're applied and how sparkly they are, so they sometimes work better with fingertips or a dampened brush; they can also run sheerer compared to other finishes.

Cream-Powders are the more unique formulation and tend to have firmer, almost stiff, consistencies and more semi-opaque, watercolor-esque coverage. They are longer-wearing, but they can take a few uses to learn how to use. This formula has also improved compared to when it first debuted--it is a bit more yielding now.

Glam (332M)

Glam (332M) is a light, peachy gold with moderate, warm undertones and a metallic finish. The eyeshadow felt soft, smooth, and lightly creamy to the touch, but it wasn’t too dense nor too firmly pressed into the pan, so it wasn’t a problem to use it with a dry brush (if preferred). It had opaque pigmentation that wore well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.

Glam (333M)

Glam (333M) is a darker, olive brown with muted, warm undertones and a pearly finish with a bit of larger micro-sparkle throughout. The texture was soft, a smidgen dusty in the pan, but it applied evenly without sheering out too readily, so it didn’t end up having any adverse impact to application. The eyeshadow had excellent color coverage in a single pass, which stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Glam (334M)

Glam (334M) is a medium-dark peach with warm, muted orange undertones and a metallic finish. It had rich color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well without emphasizing lid texture. The consistency was smooth, lightly creamy, and dense without being too firmly-pressed into the pan. It lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.
