      I think you’re completely accurate!! I can understand why this is limited edition because clearly when you watch reviews, you can tell there’s a divide, but I honestly wish it was permanent. I think it’s a really perfect addition to her line.

      Natasha Denona is killing it. The last few years Pat McGrath has just been bleh, more and more of the same and this will be the first year in a long while that I will not purchase any Pat McGrath. Natasha Denona just takes risk and brings so much versatility to her releases, so there is something for everyone. I love her creativity and I am happy to buy the palettes that speak to me. I am out on Pat McGrath.

    Alicia, I would like to comment and applaud you on this video. I have watched other TH-cam influencers and I got a little annoyed with the way they were handling this palette. Your explanation and approach to this palette are phenomenal and also the fact that you'd point out that Natasha is an artist. I think people forget that. As long as they are happy and if not then the palette is crappy according to them. You do address the products that are in the palette, that is what I am looking for, not how the color looks on you. We are different and our expectations are different. Your detailed video is a blessing and I want to thank you for doing such an amazing job.

    It has the most beautiful cover. It seems to be extremely editorial and I think it takes some patience and practice to make it work for you. It reminds me of the early sixties mod looks, Film Noire, charcoal sketches, line drawings and silent films. It’s the spaces and the shadows that have to be controlled. It’s perfect for wintry looks, grungy smoky eyes and Emo blocking.
    I’m sure it is a perfect companion palette and on its own, you can obtain ultimate glamour and some amazing minimalist effects.

    As soon as I saw this palette I fell in love & I knew it would be special because of its diverse formula profile. I feel like this color story gives me the Alien(1979)-inspired Arca-produced Xenomorphgirl galactic glam palette that I’ve been waiting for my whole life and I like deeper more monochromatic palettes anyway, so hearing other ppl calling this palette ‘just 50 shades of grey’ felt a little reductive to me. In a world where there are so many colors, many of which already exist somewhere in the Natasha Denona portfolio as you say, I respect a specific color story and the focus on formula variety over color variety! I don’t have any ND palettes but this one is really speaking to me… especially because there seemingly are deeper shades here than in I Need A Nude for example. And especially after seeing ur gorgeous looks and one of a kind application!

      @aliciaarcher  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Adrian! I wholeheartedly agree, and I think many of them missed the point. I recognize the beauty behind different colors, but there’s also a beauty that exists in expanding the nuances with one. Catherine had likened this to pencil sketches, and although the same color, the dimension and gradients produced from one pencil is breathtaking. And that’s how I understand this color story.

    I totally understand those with a warm undertone will probably hate this but as someone with a cool tone where 99.9% of palettes are neutral but especially warm, I am so excited to finally have a true cool toned palette, especially from a high end brand like ND. Us cool toned gals needed this. There aren't many so I am stoked since most palettes nowadays are warm mauve/pink/peach.

    • @aliciaarcher
      @aliciaarcher  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The darker ones, yes. I think sticking with the lighter shades and using one color is the key to diversifying the looks. It’s inevitable when you have a monochromatic color story. However, I think it will be interesting to mix and match with the tiger midis to break up the color story a bit.

    I appreciate your take on the curation of this palette. People forget that the pans can be rearranged to suite your needs. I feel like she’s the Benjamin Moore of makeup because she gives quality AND variety AND versatility. This midi release in fact has made me more interested in the mini just to round out my collection. If I were to get the midi it would certainly be a companion palette for me as well as a way to sneak in some depth into my other ND palettes that are too light on their own for my skin tone. Not necessary but certainly brilliant on the brands part and definitely a nice to get on sale.

    Thank you Alicia for an honest review! People seem to forget that there isn’t a single product out there that will be embraced by 100% of the consumer base. Even iconic palettes like the UD Naked palette had a niche of users that hated the palette.
    Still, few can deny the quality and artistry of ND palettes and Xenon MIDI is just that!
    While the color scheme doesn’t work for me personally, I can still admit that there are the subtle nuances and differentiation in the tones of grey here and for some the formulas are exceptional. I’ve personally not had the luck of encountering the payoff and longevity I’ve seen others showcase yet appreciate the looks and inspiration Natasha Dennona creates.

    This palette is beautiful on you, Alicia. Great lighting. It really shows the blue tones in some of these shades. But I'm Light with olive undertones, and I'd have trouble carrying off most of these looks. I'm not afraid of a dramatic eye, but she has other palettes that will work better for my skin tone. Too bad. I'm really drawn to this. And the blue undertone is what I find most appealing. The Vega palette, by Lisa Eldridge, is a warmer palette, but there is a gray with a blue undertone in it, which is really beautiful. That's what sold me on that. But you, this palette, diamond earrings in platinum and a great black dress? A goddess! Thanks for the review.💚

    • @aliciaarcher
      @aliciaarcher  ปีที่แล้ว +1

The only thing I'm not sure about with this palette is the many different white-ish shades, like the two similar shades you also mentioned, but otherwise I love this palette. Maybe instead of just using white a contrast they're more meant to slightly lighten the darker shades though.

    another person I saw reviewing this palette (someone with fair olive skin) also mentioned that many of the shades in this palette run blue. In the images of the palette itself it looks pretty uniform but from the looks I've seen people create with it, it appears to have quite a bit of variety in undertone. I think it's true that in order to avoid washing the colours out, it would probably take some planning to avoid creating endless monotonous grey looks, but many of the looks I've seen created with this are beautiful blues and even everyday neutrals, which I was definitely *not* expecting with this palette.

    I came home from work to find mine had arrived, and honestly I can't stop looking at it. SO pretty! I lean cool and I don't have anything like this in my stash. I don't mind that it's all in the same color family, I'm already brainstorming some other palettes I'm gonna pair with this to add color to the winter vibes. I might swap out the dark purple from My Dream and replace one of the whites or grays with it so I have a color option.

    I am one shade darker and one smidge more on the red side than you and find it difficult to wear most tan/brown palettes. I've been looking for a really good moody, gray palette for some time. Wish the dark black in the mini was in the palette, but am grateful that there's finally a palette that will look good on me, both at night (killer) and day (if I stay away from the frosty). Agree, a tiny less pale frost would have been ideal, but combining/layering is fun.

    i love the colors in this and have been wanting a palette like this - I agree on not "needing" the second "white-ish" color, would have loved to have had a gray-lavender instead. On my monitor, the one gray on the bottom looked more lavender - a blue lavender color, not one that has pinks in it - and it looked great - even though I know that's not the color in the actual palette. Out of every eye you've ever done, this is by far the most sexy yet oddly, tame, AND appropriate for any age and even eye color. Thank you for always taking the time to do such thorough reviews. I'd love to see a few more looks on you from this palette - using more of the pale colors. Hugs!

    I’ve seen a lot of other TH-camrs complain that every look they get from the palette looks the same, but when they’re demonstrating the looks, they keep using the same colors. Of course, you’re gonna get all the same looks when you use the same six colors on every look! You can get creative and play with all the different textures to get a lot of different looks here. But I also think Natasha Denona‘s approach to palettes is a little different than other brands. It’s almost like she’s creating a reference library. The gold palette was the only palette of gold eyeshadows you’d ever need if you were an makeup artist. This would be the only palette for silver and grays that you would need if you were a Makeup artist and doing the looks on different people with different skin tones or depths. You would be able to find the appropriate colors in this pallet, but you wouldn’t use every color on every person But her palettes usually don’t have a ton of variety. They just explore very deeply within each narrow color story. I don’t know why people are so critical of this palette, but then absolutely loved the gold palette with like eight shades of gold.

    • @aliciaarcher
      @aliciaarcher  ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly this! I immediately recognized how mixing too many shades for one look will inevitably appear the same across the board. You have to hold yourself back and focus on one or two at a time. At the most three! There is so much beautiful nuance here, and the gentle gradients that are possible because of these shades makes it exciting. Like you said, Natasha creates based on her own technique, and once you understand that, I think that’s how you can fully appreciate her vision. I didn’t understand the gold palette when it released, and now I’m finally aligned with the purpose of the palette. Xenon is wonderful, and I’m thrilled to have these shades from Natasha.
