Hey everyone! Just a quick note- I cut the bronzer/highlighter application clips because I used products from Ofra and I will no longer be using or supporting the brand on my channel. I learned about a photo of one of their owner’s making a hand gesture associated with white supremacy. I truly value inclusivity and I believe racism is absolutely wrong and should never be tolerated. I cancelled a sponsorship with them and I will not be purchasing from the brand or featuring their products on my channel moving forward. The reason why I decided to delete those clips instead of pulling the video altogether is because I wanted to share my true first impressions of the Natasha Denona Zendo palette. If I was to refilm myself using it, you wouldn’t be getting my authentic reaction as I tried to work with some of the difficult shadows. The only thing to note is that I had to end up using a little bit of bronzer to help blend out the shade Zeal in my crease!
I have yet to see the picture but apparently he made the ok sign??? Are we really canceling Ofra bc of this? Since when is the okay hand sign white supremacy?
@@lucypauwels993 Hey Lucy I recommend doing some research. There are instances where that symbol might simply mean okay but given the context of this particular photo it is most likely that is not the case. A quick Google search will definitely provide some helpful articles!
@@AndreaMatillano because of the American flag? The MAGA hat? The caption? Helpful articles on how someone took the okay sign and now it means something else and now no one can ever use it again???
I just returned the ND Zendo palette and now I’m glad I did! I didn’t love the color story in the end. Very happy with the Bronze and Glam palettes, use them every week.
I ended up grabbing this palette and I like it. Once I started to learn how to work with her different formulas, I think my looks have gotten even better! The nice thing is that most of the colors show up on my skin tone, which is always a nice surprise. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I’ve heard so many people talking highly of the Tula spf lately. I’ve started doing the method of concealer of spots under foundation and it is so much better!
So with the matte cream to powder, you need to tap it in to place and then blend out once you have the desired opacity. They don't work as well with a back/forth crease motion
the overall look came out beautifully. i’m glad that you made the right decision. i myself will never buy another product from them. beyond disappointed.
Andrea, looking at your pinned comment I once again realize that I appreciate you and your channel so so much. You are always exceptionally kind and thoughtful. I think I will always come back to your channel because you always strive to be ethical. We don't have the skin tone or skin type yet I always come to you channel because the content is super informative. Basically, kindness and integrity are the best words to describe you.
I love using the Colourpop Pretty Fresh Foundation. I use the Elf Flawless Finish/ Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum SPF 25 underneath it and than combined the Pretty Fresh Foundation to give me a full coverage glow. I've tried the Natasha Denona mini eyeshadows in Jubilee and Ayana and the green shades I got an allergic reaction to.
I have so much respect for your integrity when it comes to supporting brands. If we all don't take a stand against anything remotely related to overt racism, then we will never be able to truly eradicate it. Anyone who thinks this isn't a "big deal" or "he didn't really mean it that way" are helping to continue the terrible state of racism in our country. It may not even be intentional or malicious, but still damaging. I'm so proud of all the influencers who are taking a stand.
@@hannahkayee831 I was not even thinking about Trump. I was born in 1962 and I remember the civil rights movement. My parents were involved in supporting the movement. And, my comment was meant to support Andrea in her decision.I also never intended to make a reference to voting rights and/or communism. My comment was concerning the fact that we all need to be sensitive to anything that appears to be racist. Things are not equal in our country and we all need to work together to eradicate racism, no matter who we voted for.
@@hannahkayee831 Andrea did not mention Trump either. I wanted to make sure that was clear. Racism is so much bigger than whether or not one supports the former president.
@@hannahkayee831 Hannah, please understand I did not refer to Trump or those who voted for him. I also never insinuated those that voted for him were racists. I think you need to move your comments to where he is mentioned. I don’t think you really understood what I was trying to say. Have a nice weekend.
I am so glad and proud of myself for not purchasing the ND Zendo Eyeshadow Pallette..! When I saw the colors, I immediately thought of Urban Decay Born to Run but still, I was driven to get the ND's for some reason. But thankfully, I desisted of splurging on it because of the mixed reviews. Besides, I hate the cream to powder formulas, so it was not that complicated to make a decision about spending money or not in that particular product.
That eye look ended up pretty. I am curious how the other shadows perform. If I buy an expensive palette I expect all the shadows to work well. Beautiful look❤️
I didn't have a great time with the cooler side of Zendo when I used it today, but I haven't had issues with the warmer/pinky side of the palette. I would say play with the other side and see if you like that side better!
Even with the troubles the shadows were giving you, the look you created is beautiful!😍 Casey Holmes has been raving about that Bite Mascara I kinda wanna try it. Casey also mentioned the Flower Beauty pink mascara bottle is pretty good dup for it!
When I use a messy mascara, I have one of those eyelid guard things. It’s like a plastic stick with a wide top, that has a hole for your eyeball and eyelashes to go through, and you put the mascara on up against it so you can really get in there and not get the mascara on your lids. You can also turn it upside down and use the top to protect your lid. The handle and all of the edges have kind of a lash comb on them too. It’s a great tool, and I think I got it from like shein or Amazon or something for like a dollar lol
@@AndreaMatillano I’ve heard that if you over powder, your skin will try to overcompensate by building more oil. But I’ve seen where people powder their skin before foundation for a more matte, long lasting finish! I’m dry skin here though lol
What would you suggest in trying the pretty fresh for the very first time like how would you reccomend to applying it ? I love there setting spray but have not been intrigued to try the foundation cause it has hyaluronic acid which can break me out.
Hi Andréa! Loved the eye look you created with the zendo palette! 😘 Absolutely stunning 😍 I really hope she comes out with a mid size retro palette next!
Having read your "pinned" comment, makeup now seems a little trivial (which it is really, racism MUST be stopped). However, you spent your time and money created this vid for us, so I'm going to interact in the comments section - as I always do 😊 I'm extremely disappointed with this new palette. Unfortunately, I can't even return it because I live in the UK and the postage costs (plus the postage to get it here) means it's not worth doing. Serves me right for being impatient and pre-ordering instead of waiting to see the reviews. I've learnt my lesson. This palette is awful, imo. There's far too many peachy shades and I can't see the relationship between this and the mini Zendo. Oh well, if ND gets it wrong sometimes then I won't feel so bad the next time I mess up! Great, honest review Andrea, thank you so much. 👍👍💗🦋💗
I appreciate you taking the time to watch! That is seriously so frustrating that you aren't able to return it. Is that usually the case in the UK when it comes to makeup? I haven't used all of the shades but even if the rest of the palette performs well I can't imagine I will think it's worth the money either. There are definitely some disappointing formulas in it! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me. 💗
@@AndreaMatillano it’s the case everywhere in Europe, you can’t return opened cosmetic products because they can’t resell it. Idk how it is in the rest of the world. The Zendo palette didn’t really pull me in from the beginning. I only was attracted to the cool tone side and it wasn’t worth it for me so I am glad I didn’t buy it (still the glam palette is on my list). I see a lot of people who expect the punchy shimmery nd shades are very disappointed and I feel the same way. Bit I’ve seen many people why more mature skin saying this is exactly what they want and it makes sense. If you have other ND palettes than you have these colors. If you don’t and you are a beginner and want a more subdued palette this could be perfect. It would be nice tho if this was mentioned, but glad we have reviews. I must say I am disappointed in the Love palette. The darker shades dried out. I have to scratch the top layer to get pigment and I find the shimmers disappointing. Maybe I got a bad batch, but it was the second time I ordered. The first time I got it already dry so I got a refund
Your makeup looks beautiful!! I will say that Patty has a great video on I believe 5 looks with the midi zendo pallette and she explains how to use the cream to matte formulas pretty well. I have to say, as beautiful as the pallette is, I'm hesitant to purchase it bc I don't feel I'm that skilled with makeup. I like it when the product works without having to do extra steps. All that being said, your eyes look so pretty!! And I'm starting to think I need to try that foundation! 🤔😁
Hi Andrea! Love how you made the eye look pull together in the end, really pretty! I wanted the zendo palette so bad when I first saw it but of course it launched AFTER the VIB sale lol. Thinking about it later I realized what really kept drawing my attention was just the cooler half of the palette and I can't spend that much money just for 6 shades🤔. I have the sunrise palette and I think between that and the UD Wild West palette I can create similar enough looks. Speaking of, how would you say the blue shades in zendo compare to the ones in wild west? I haven't seen anyone do a swatch comparison yet.
First video I watch getting off my 12 hr shift! I just ordered some colourpop using ur code, thanks!!! I’m interested in the mini zendo more than the bigger one.
Wow, that zeal shade is bad news. U ended up with a great look tho! I appreciate u letting us know that u started over. Reinforces my trust in you. Thanks for the GRWM! 💗💖💟
Good thing I have only one Ofra product, a highlighter I got in an Ipsy bag. I had previously took Ofra products off my Ulta favorites list because I have way too many highlighters right now. I'll be keeping them off my list. My backups of Becca will make me happy. I remember hearing of similar stuff with Lime Crime and that's one of the reasons I won't buy their products.
Hey Andréa, thank you for the video! You look so stunning, the green-bluish shadow looks really pretty on you 😍 But still, I will definitely skip on the palette. For me it's still too expensive and I feel like especially nowadays you can get great colourful palettes for a way lower price. But it was still interesting to see that this ND palette seems to perform so differently than the others. I have two questions for you btw: Would you like to make a video dedicated to eye pencils/liner? Talking about your favourite brands (that also stay on the waterline lol) and the shades/colours you like the most and/or wear the most? I know you like the ones from urban decay and colourpop a lot, but ud is quite expensive and colourpop is kind of hard to get in Germany and can get pretty expensive too, so knowing beforehand which ones are the ones to go with would be very handy. And I'd LOVE to hear your opinion on that 🙈 Second question: You haven't tried out kaleidos so far, right? Do you see yourself testing something from that brand in the near future? Lots of love! 🥰
Love your videos and your honest reviews. Thank you 😊 I almost bought the zendo palette and now I’m not going to waste my money. I’m so glad u were honest about the quality. A lot of influencers push the hype of some products and lie about the quality so glad we can always count on your honesty. 😊👍🏼
I always forget you have freckles until you do a full face. Something about the Zendo says don't buy me every time I look at it. I still want the Circo Loco though.
I struggled to love this palette too almost regret purchasing it sadly 🥵 but since I have it I will continue to use and maybe I will like it.........🤷🏻♀️
@@AndreaMatillano no the matte warmer tones are perfection but the duo / shimmers seemed a little lack luster to me but some of the other ND duo chromes / shimmers can be like that
Totally agree Jenna!… Andrea you definitely made up for the rocky start . Your look is gorgeous! I splurged on the ND Glam Palette ,so that’s it for me..LOL. No more big ND palettes. I like the Mini ones 😁. Thank you so much for letting us know about OFRA. I was thinking of that brand because I saw some products I liked but now will NOT be purchasing that brand .
Plumpers that leave redness - If you keep the lip plumper away from the edges of your lips you can avoid that, about the area that would be covered by lining your lips... I have rosacea making my skin really sensitive to the ingredients in plumpers, this definitely works and actually leaves you with a more natural-looking full pout without the discomfort/redness outside of the lip line.
I really love the colour story of the metropolis palette, because green is my favourite colour, and it has great neutrals too, but I’m so hesitant to spend my money on it because of the cream to powder shades. Maybe they’re better as a base/lid colour or blended out with a stiffer synthetic brush? It just sucks to be limited
You are so beautiful! With and without makeup. I love your content! Even if I’m not going to purchase something, I still love watching every single one of your videos. 💕
I returned Zendo. I have the other mid size ones. This one creased like crazy and would not stay on my eyes. I never had this problem with her other mid size palletes. I think it was the cream formula. There are several in this one. Bought the LA girl palletes. Stayed on all day.
Oh no! I didn’t have the creasing issue but that is seriously so frustrating. I don’t blame you for returning it. I need to try some of the LA Girl palettes!
When I used zeal I didn’t have any issues but I patted it down then blended the edges a bit instead. Then I took breath around the edges of zeal to help blend it out more so it might be a shade that works better using a different technique
Yes, I find that I have to use different techniques dependent upon the shade formula. I don’t mind it at all, though. Once you get the hang of it, it seems much easier!
I think that is the way to go. I watched Angelica Nyqvist's video and she hd no problem with the palette. She always emphasises that with shades like these, you should pack them on and then blend, applying them with a fluffy brush will almost always fail.
Tarte made a foundation brush like the elf one you’re using for foundation, but it was expensive and not always in stock so I never got it. I’ve been looking for one like that for ages, cause I have that tarte foundation that’s just in a big pot lol and I hate sticking my fingers into it lol. It’s probably expired by now anyway!
You're still beautiful 😍 as always. And I can't blame you in what you did with the OFRA, things like this seems to be what's wrong in this world now day's. And I really know all about this, because I have biracial grandchildren and a lady that was at a park where I took them to, to play and have fun, but a lady there made it known to her children that they don't play with children like my grandchildren. And yeah, I totally came unglued on her and there was another couple that did the same (came unglued on her). I mean they are just children 🤷. But you look great 👍 😍. Kisses from warm Tennessee 😘.
That's absolutely terrible and it breaks my heart to think that your grandchildren have to experience discrimination even at such a young age. You are an amazing grandparent and I'm glad you and the other couple were there.
I like to use pressed powder in summer time bc it's are not as heavy as a loose powder. I have an oily skin so unfortunately I cannot completely give up powder in summer time. 😏
Can anyone tell me what picture or where it is ? I’m curious about it. And would love to see it. I don’t have a thing from them. I almost got the Samantha March collab. Held off now I’m glad. Such a pretty look
Sometimes the primer doesn’t need to be applied. Idk I liked the first time you did it. Yes, the brown is patchy, however, you always make it work out. Oh yes it looks pretty now. Mascara is nice and plumbing The lips are pretty, you just have one of those faces that make everything look great on you. Very pretty.
I've always found ND to be a bit overrated. It seems like the midi palettes are generally the ones with lackluster quality, but at $65 it should still perform a lot better, imo. Thank you for your pinned comment.

So with the matte cream to powder, you need to tap it in to place and then blend out once you have the desired opacity. They don't work as well with a back/forth crease motion
Agreed! That’s how I do it. Brush and technique definitely come into play with ND palettes

One of LA Girl's new Hey Hey Vacay palettes is a total dupe for this palette! Check it out and those shadows are crazy good!!
Oh wow thank you so much for sharing! I have been wanting to try more from LA Girl!
Yep I returned the Zendo and got the LA girl. The Zendo would not stay on my eyes and creased like crazy.
Omg thanks for the dupe recommendation 😍

A lot of influencers push the hype of some products and lie about the quality so glad we can always count on your honesty. 😊👍🏼
I appreciate you kind comment so much! Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos! 💗
Love your shirt!! Also thank you for making a clear cut decision based on ofra's owners actions. I appreciate you!
Im currently trying to find a highlighter dupe formula! Id love to see your opinions on this since thats probably the best product from them.
I always forget you have freckles until you do a full face. Something about the Zendo says don't buy me every time I look at it. I still want the Circo Loco though.
I bought the circo loco pallet and love love love it
@@animelover08642 Awesome, I realized I really want it when I was watching a video the other day and saw it. So pretty
Is the All Nighter powder similar to The Velvetizer? The Velvetizer was my go to and I’m on the hunt for a dupe!
I love how the eyes came out! Sooo pretty! 😊
The patchiness wasn’t fun though!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment!
I struggled to love this palette too almost regret purchasing it sadly 🥵
but since I have it I will continue to use and maybe I will like it.........🤷🏻♀️
Did you have trouble with the warmer tones too? I'm hoping those will perform a little bit better!
@@AndreaMatillano no the matte warmer tones are perfection but the duo / shimmers seemed a little lack luster to me
but some of the other ND duo chromes / shimmers can be like that
It started off rocky but I think you saved the look! However I’m still glad I skipped over the palette
Ahhh thank you! I'm thankful the shimmers to seem to be really good at least. I'm hoping the rest of the palette performs better!
Yes I got a smaller palette and skipped over this one also.
Totally agree Jenna!… Andrea you definitely made up for the rocky start . Your look is gorgeous! I splurged on the ND Glam Palette ,so that’s it for me..LOL. No more big ND palettes. I like the Mini ones 😁. Thank you so much for letting us know about OFRA. I was thinking of that brand because I saw some products I liked but now will NOT be purchasing that brand .
Plumpers that leave redness - If you keep the lip plumper away from the edges of your lips you can avoid that, about the area that would be covered by lining your lips... I have rosacea making my skin really sensitive to the ingredients in plumpers, this definitely works and actually leaves you with a more natural-looking full pout without the discomfort/redness outside of the lip line.
I really love the colour story of the metropolis palette, because green is my favourite colour, and it has great neutrals too, but I’m so hesitant to spend my money on it because of the cream to powder shades. Maybe they’re better as a base/lid colour or blended out with a stiffer synthetic brush? It just sucks to be limited
I know that the palette was difficult to work with, but you look gorgeous!!! It sucks that the palette didn't live up to the expectations though
You’re always my go to youtuber for complexion recommendations bc I have the same skin tone and type as you 😆😆
Thank you for watching my videos! 💗 I hope I can steer you in the right direction with my recommendations!
That eye look is everything, so pretty!
That's so nice of you! Thank you so much!
You are so beautiful! With and without makeup. I love your content! Even if I’m not going to purchase something, I still love watching every single one of your videos. 💕
That means so much to me! Thank you for your kind comment and support!
That top with that eye look! Wow! So pretty 🤩❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your kind comment! 🥰💗
LOVEEE the video! You look beautiful 💖💖💖
Thank you for your kind comment! 💗
I returned Zendo. I have the other mid size ones. This one creased like crazy and would not stay on my eyes. I never had this problem with her other mid size palletes. I think it was the cream formula. There are several in this one. Bought the LA girl palletes. Stayed on all day.
Oh no! I didn’t have the creasing issue but that is seriously so frustrating. I don’t blame you for returning it. I need to try some of the LA Girl palettes!
❤️ my zendo palette. 🧀 stands alone 🙂
I'm so glad to hear that it works well for you!
When I used zeal I didn’t have any issues but I patted it down then blended the edges a bit instead. Then I took breath around the edges of zeal to help blend it out more so it might be a shade that works better using a different technique
That's really helpful! Thank you for the suggestion- I will definitely be trying it out!
Yes, I find that I have to use different techniques dependent upon the shade formula. I don’t mind it at all, though. Once you get the hang of it, it seems much easier!
I think that is the way to go. I watched Angelica Nyqvist's video and she hd no problem with the palette. She always emphasises that with shades like these, you should pack them on and then blend, applying them with a fluffy brush will almost always fail.
Omg yay the earliest i’ve been 😭❤️
Thank you for being one of the first to watch! ❤️
Tarte made a foundation brush like the elf one you’re using for foundation, but it was expensive and not always in stock so I never got it. I’ve been looking for one like that for ages, cause I have that tarte foundation that’s just in a big pot lol and I hate sticking my fingers into it lol. It’s probably expired by now anyway!
I had blending problems with the Metropolis Pallete
Oh no! Was it the palette as a whole or just certain shades?
@@AndreaMatillano it was the cream to powder formula
@@LeighAnn02 I think that’s the formula that folks tend to struggle with
Looooveeee the look you created!! I want this palette even more now!! 😍😍😍
Thank you Ashley!
Your freckles are absolutely beautiful ❤️
That's so sweet of you! Thank you! ❤️
Love the look!!!
Thank you so much!
@@AndreaMatillano your welcome!!!🧡
Oh my gosh, I feel the same about the bite mascara. So good, but so messy.
oh Andrea you look loverly , your eyes are gorgeous, i am into green and all shades of blue .
Thank you for your kind comment! I appreciate that so much!
So glad I waited for you to house this palette before buying! I most certainly will not be picking it up
Great eye look
You're still beautiful 😍 as always. And I can't blame you in what you did with the OFRA, things like this seems to be what's wrong in this world now day's. And I really know all about this, because I have biracial grandchildren and a lady that was at a park where I took them to, to play and have fun, but a lady there made it known to her children that they don't play with children like my grandchildren. And yeah, I totally came unglued on her and there was another couple that did the same (came unglued on her). I mean they are just children 🤷. But you look great 👍 😍. Kisses from warm Tennessee 😘.
That's absolutely terrible and it breaks my heart to think that your grandchildren have to experience discrimination even at such a young age. You are an amazing grandparent and I'm glad you and the other couple were there.
I like to use pressed powder in summer time bc it's are not as heavy as a loose powder. I have an oily skin so unfortunately I cannot completely give up powder in summer time. 😏
The essence Matte powder is my go-to during the summer! It’s so lightweight but it really does lock things into place so well. 🙌
Thanks for the hint! I live in Europe so Essence is easily available here, and the products are really inexpensive. 😊
Can anyone tell me what picture or where it is ? I’m curious about it. And would love to see it. I don’t have a thing from them. I almost got the Samantha March collab. Held off now I’m glad. Such a pretty look
Check “ here for the tea” Instagram. They have more information
Outstanding Great Stylish Andrea Matillano And Good Luck

I love these types of videos 😻

Beautiful look!
Thank you! 💗
Beautiful look
Thank you! 💗
Legal otimo
Ooh yay haven’t seen one of these vids in a while! Love it 💖
Thank you for taking the time to watch! 🥰
Sometimes the primer doesn’t need to be applied. Idk I liked the first time you did it.
Yes, the brown is patchy, however, you always make it work out.
Oh yes it looks pretty now.
Mascara is nice and plumbing
The lips are pretty, you just have one of those faces that make everything look great on you.
Very pretty.
You look lovely. Very pretty look.
Thank you for your kind comment!
A palette that cost $65 should almost blend itself out lol
So true! 😂 I’m hoping I have better luck with the other half!
The outside of the Natasha denona palette looks a lot like the sunrise palette! I feel like I would get confused lol
Love you!
The Mini Zendo I had the same awful patchiness for me! Really disappointing :/
Great Video Andrea
Thank you for watching! ❤️
I am so early! 20ish minutes after the upload 🥳🥳🥳 What an accomplishment 🤓
Thank you for being one of the first to watch! You are the best!
@@AndreaMatillano thanks 💗
You saved the look!!!!!!
I've always found ND to be a bit overrated. It seems like the midi palettes are generally the ones with lackluster quality, but at $65 it should still perform a lot better, imo.
Thank you for your pinned comment.
