Natasha Denona Golden Collection – The Beauty Look Book

Natasha Denona launched two beautiful palettes and a gloss in her Golden Collection for summer. I shared quick swatches on Instagram earlier this week and after playing with everything I have more thoughts + a few beauty looks today.
Golden Eyeshadow Palette

The Golden Eyeshadow Palette ($69) is definitely the star of the collection. She created an updated version of her original Gold Palette and I love it. The new Golden Palette is more neutral making it easier to wear for everyday. Her mattes in this palette are UNREAL in the texture! Colors vary in finish from mattes, metallics, sparking wet effect shades, and shimmers. Pigment is excellent across the board. She has the best descriptions for each shade so I’m going to reference her exact descriptions below:

Mliko 538CP – Matte Cream Powder Off White
Nubia 539SF – Sparkling Foiled Gold Nude Champagne
Pana 540CP – Matte Cream Powder Beige
Aria 197CM – Matte Medium Light Dusty Sand
Fizzy 541SW – Sparkling Wet Effect Golden Nude
Varis 203M – Metallic Medium Antique Brass
Aura 544M – Metallic Golden Ivory
Teak 207CM – Matte Medium Dusty Caramel
Cava 198K – Sparkling Champagne Gold
Sand Stone 205CM – Matte Medium Ochre
Aurum 208M – Metallic Muted Gold
Log 202CM – Matte Dark Brown
Oro 201M – Metallic Warm Gold
Flesh 104CM – Matte Light Warm Nude
Alchemist 206M – Metallic Brass

I love this updated version although on my medium skin a few of the gold shimmers look very similar on my eyes. I would have loved it if she added a few more darker mattes or a deeper intense bronze for more contrast although I understand the theme is “gold” so I can appreciate all the different undertones in each gold shade. Aura is the one that surprised me the most because it looks almost white in the pan but transforms into a stunning white gold.
Wearing her palette, also wearing:

Overall a solid A+. Out of all her palettes this is in my top four from her. I Need a Nude, My Dream Palette and Glam Palette.
Golden Highlighter Trio

There’s a new highlighter palette called the Golden Highlighter Trio ($55). It has a super soft texture with super smooth finish. The shades pull very metallic for that intense foiled glazed look but the pigment and finish is very easy to control depending on how you apply to the face. You can apply lightly for a softer look, but it can also pull very metallic with a dense brush.

I’m not sure this will be for everyone. I know many of you are not fans of intense shimmers as they tend to emphasize texture or pores. This one pulls very smooth on the skin but I had to use a very light hand. I love the shades on the eyes.
I swatched them next to her Hy-Gen Skincare Infused Glow Beautifiers which pull more creamy in texture. Also added the Dior Forever Glow Maximizers in Gold and Nude below (I should have probably blended Nude out more for consistency in how I blended everything).

Overall stunning and beautiful for that signature Natasha Denona Glow. Not a must-have for me as I already own so many other golden highlighters that look similar but it’s very beautiful.
Golden Glimmer Gloss Shimmering Lip-Plumper

The Golden Glimmer Gloss Shimmering Lip-Plumper ($29) is a smooth clear gloss with golden shimmer suspended throughout. On me it’s pretty much clear and it has a subtle tingle to it. The tingle is pretty minimal on my sensitive lips and it’s not numbing or stinging. The plumping effect is definitely noticeable. On my lips it almost looks pink, it’s not color shifting at all (it remains clear) but for some reason the day I swatched this my lips were really pink in undertone. Formula is smooth and not sticky. I think it would be a nice topper to add shine, but the shimmer is so subtle, it’s pretty much just like a clear gloss on my lips.
Overall I really love what Natasha has been creating since day one. Even though I can’t pull off the tones in all of her palettes or lip colors, I think the quality has always been exceptional and I truly appreciate all the thought she puts into each launch and she is truly an artist. I feel like this level of creativity and dedication to quality and innovation has been lost among most of the beauty brands today which makes me appreciate her brand even more.I also really love her tutorials on herself and other models on her social pages. She really gives us so much inspiration on how to apply the products in action and on different skin tones.
Available now at Sephora, Ulta Beauty and Natasha Denona.
