Natasha Denona Tan Bronze & Glow Palette and Mark Your Liquid Lips Review and YouTube Video

Not Sponsored: One of my makeup purchases this Summer was Natasha Denona's Tan Bronze & Glow Palette, Mark Your Liquid Lips Liquid Lipstick and Biba Eyeshadow Palette. This is my second Natasha Denona purchase. I purchased her mini Camel Eye Shadow Palette (Sephora, Harrods). It was nice, but it didn't give me that everyday "soft" look I was looking for. I felt it produced a more dramatic, evening look. So when she came out with this collection, I felt it was more me. Natasha Denona makeup is expensive. It's an investment. With any investment, there is a risk (a risk that it might or might not work out). I'm happy to say, this investment worked out for me. HaHaHa I've really enjoyed wearing this makeup all Summer. Even though this came out this Summer, you will see it will easily take you into the Fall & Winter months. I've split this review into two parts. Today, I'll be reviewing the bronze & glow palette and metallic lipsticks. Tomorrow, I'll review Natasha Denona's Biba Eyeshadow Palette. I created tutorial videos for each. Hope you enjoy.

Natasha Denona Tan Bronze & Glow Palette | Outer Packaging

I know to some, this is just a box. But the rich bronze-y caramel color of the box really puts you in the mood to be tanned & glow-y. I love the gold writing. It's minimal, yet rich. It gives you that feeling. This palette is good for 18 months after opening it. It's paraben free and not tested on animals.

Natasha Denona Tan Bronze & Glow Palette | Compact - Supersweet
(can be purchased at Sephora, Harrods)

The compact itself mimics the outer packaging. It's very sturdy. It doesn't feel cheap. Magnetic closure. It has a really good mirror. Inside you have a blush & bronze powder, a glow cream base, super glow and glow impact powder. There was a lot of controversy as to whether this palette could work for all skin tones. Just looking at it, you would think not. However Natasha Denona created and Instagram story showing this on the lightest to the darkest of skin tones. Definitely check out that story in the top circles of her Instagram page. The blush & bronze powder is buildable. I used a very light touch on my cheeks, forehead and chin. It was very complimentary to my skin-tone. You then use a sponge to apply the glow cream base (atop the cheek bones). Super glow is a gorgeous tangerine shade. Its very soft and a nice diversion from gold. And for those who want gold, the glow impact powder is for you. I applied it to the bridge of my nose, cupid's bow and beneath my lip. Want to see it on?

Swatched

Here are all four shades, swatched on the back of my hand.

Here Is How It Looks On Me

I found the application of this palette to be easy and effortless. You can control the intensity of each shade by layering. So it will never overpower you. I thought it created a beautiful & soft look.

Natasha Denona | Mark Your Liquid Lips METALLIC Liquid Lipstick - Sweet

Natasha Denona came out with Mark Your Liquid Lips MATTE awhile ago. I never tried them, so I can't give you an opinion. With this collection, she came out with Mark Your Liquid Lips METALLIC. When she applied this liquid lipstick to her models on Instagram, I fell in love with each shade (lightest to darkest): Nude Metallica, Copper Gild, Cyber Cherry, and Achromatic. These are cruelty free, paraben free, vegan and they're made in Italy. I love the packaging. They're super sleek and sophisticated. Very polished. I love that they're clear. You can easily see the shade inside. The formula is mousse-y and lightweight. The doe foot applicator makes application easy. You can view the swatch-ing of Natasha Denona's Mark Your Liquid Lips Metallic video here. My favorites are the two lightest shades (nude metallica and copper gild). The other two (cyber cherry and achromatic) are more Fall & Winter colors. All applied really well. Achromatic can get dark in some areas, so its important you layer evenly. These didn't feel heavy on the lips. They dry quickly. NO TRANSFER once they dry. So that's a plus. A really nice color selection for year round.
