Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Natasha Denona Sunset Palette.
You guys don’t even know how excited I am to have this palette, as I said in Monday’s post I just bought the palette on an INSANE sale Sephora Italia was doing.
If we scroll back to a year ago, I said in this post that I wanted this palette so badly but I would never spend 129$ to buy it so the sale was pretty much my occasion to finally get it.
You can get this palette from sephora.com for 129$.
PACKAGING
The packaging is all leather and it’s very lux. It has a big mirror and it’s quite heavy but a lot smaller than I thought it would be.
The shade names are on this plastic cover that’s super uncomfortable and I really don’t like it. Was it so hard to put the name under each shade like everyone else does?
PIGMENTATION & FORMULA
All the shades have a medium to high pigmentation, they are really creamy and easy to blend. They don’t have much fall down which is unreal, even the glitters.
Overall the formula is great, I’m not going to lie, it’s incredibly easy to work with and I love that the shades don’t blend together.
What I mean is, after you put plenty on you can still see them clearly. With the majority of affordable palettes, all the shades blend together and become a big muddy mess while here everything is seamless.
The only downside for me is that they are all very similar shades. Sinai, Terra and Horizon are pretty much identical and same goes with Bronzage and Aubade. Also Morgana and Mandarine once they are on they are very similar.
APPLICATION
All the shades blend easily with brushes. I like to put shimmers on with my finger but these work perfectly even with a brush.
SWATCH
LOOKS
I’ve used Terra in the crease, Vulcano in the outer corner, Morgana on the lid and Ice Gold in the inner corner.
I’ve used Horizon and Panjin in the crease, Igneous and Vulcano in the outer corner. Atmosphere all over the lid and Sol and Sundazed in the inner corner. Lastly, I’ve used Horizon and Igneous on the lower lashline.
LASTING POWER
With a primer, they last about 8 hours before creasing.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 7/10
- Longevity: 9/10
- Application: 10/10
- Formula: 10/10
- Pigmentation: 10/10
- Packaging: 6/10
GRADE: A–
This palette is not worth the price if I’d have paid full price I’d be very pissed. I really don’t like the packaging, the plastic cover with the shade names is very annoying. This probably bothers me more because I’m a blogger and I need shade names, it might not be a deal-breaker for you. The shades are also too similar for it to be worth it. Guarantee the quality is unreal, same with application and lasting power but if I pay 129$ for a palette I want it to be perfect and this isn’t. Again, it’s not a bad palette and I don’t regret buying it but I’m glad it was discounted because it isn’t worth that price.

$129 does seem like an awful lot for one palette. Glad you got it on sale!
Way too much x
I see what you mean about the orange-y shades all being too similar and, yes, the names being on the plastic would totally annoy me too.
Glad it’s only me that hates the plastic thing
I’d say A- is a great grade! I love these colors! I would definitely get this one but it’s way too expensive
Yeah not really worth it x
This is such a beautiful palette. The swatches look incredible and that pop of yellow in the inner corner is so pretty.
It really looks beautiful
I can see how some shades are similar, it’s too bad… but well, the palette is still absolutely stunning, I love the colours!!! Great review ?
Yeah, it’s a beautiful palette but not worth the price
The colors are so pretty but so expensive haha. I think there are lots of palettes cheaper and prettier. Although, I really like what you created with it!
Thank you, it’s pretty but not unique and way too expensive ?
I have heard so much good stuff about this palette, and it does look beautiful & amazing quality. But I kind of agree – I don’t think its worth the full price tag so I haven’t got it myself. Shade names are a must of me too xx
Couldn’t have used better words
So many pretty shades!!! I dont wear makeup but these are way to pretty!
Tha
I need to brighten up my eyes in the corners. Not sure about the yellow, but I would try a beige color for sure.
That would probably help
My mom has this palette, so I’ve been able to use it a few times. I completely agree, the quality is good but certainly not worth over $100! I’m very torn on ND shadows – sometimes I love them, and sometimes I’m like “eh.”
I don’t think any palette is worth that money but even for a palette I’ve paid half price I’m disappointed
Ugh, sorry to hear that.
Yeah, it’s a good quality one but I can pretty much create 2 looks with it ?
It’s gorgeous!! The packaging looks so cool in my opinion and I love all the shades! The first look with the bronze colours is fantastic! ? Though I’m not sure it’s worth 129$ ?
Hhahahhh definitely not!
i remember when it released i was eyeing it too but the steep price turned me off x)
so great you got it on sale 🙂 love the looks you created 🙂
Thank you, yeah for me was either sale or nothing ?
Such a gorgeous colour scheme but so overpriced!
Agree! x
