What they flagged

  • Glitter shadows prone to crumbling and fallout

What the gurus are saying

The matte formulas and carefully balanced neutral-cool tones with subtle warmth earn consistent praise for blending beautifully and flattering a range of complexions without looking heavy or overly warm. A few gurus noted minor glitter fallout and crumbliness in certain shades, particularly the glittery pans, though most found the overall formula quality and versatility worth the investment. The palette works well from day to night and pairs well with hooded or mature eyes.

All 14 takes from Allie Glines
I Tried YOUR Holiday Wishlist! 🎁
"This palette has become my daily go-to. I think it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves neutral cool tones and it's flattering on most people. The mattes are really good quality and the shimmers and sparkly formulas are unbelievable. Even when they fade at the end of the day they leave such an elegant look on the eyes. Every time I wear that palette I get lots of compliments about my makeup. I have tried many other similar palettes but they just don't compare to Natasha Denona quality. This is definitely more of a splurgy gift but something that would feel so thoughtful for anyone who loves makeup. Plus the colors are so good, it really would flatter most people. It's great for everyday and a little more amped up as well."

"I love the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude [...] Palette. These shades [...] are so stunning, there's just something about [...] it that's really special.

"I know this is one that I just barely got and just barely tried but I already know it's my favorite. I already love the Natasha Denona formula in general. This is what I'm wearing on my eyes. Isn't this just the perfect bridal everyday palette. It has so many beautiful elements to it, you got a great mixture of mattes, shimmers, some toppers in there, and the tones and undertones are just perfect for every day and also for special occasions. You really just can't mess this up, so loving this. Plus the packaging is beautiful. I'm just a big fan of this palette in general."

"I'm going to go into the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette. I felt like this would be a great way to create a little bit of a base for the eyeliner look. I'm going to start by applying the shade Mesh at the bottom here in the crease, buffing back and forth as a transition shade. Then I'm going to dip into the shade Tender, which is like a little bit of a cool-toned brown, and I'm going to do a little bit of shaping and sculpting on the outer edge."

"The Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette is the only eyeshadow palette I have been using for over a year. It is [...] really nice because the browns are not too red-based, which does not work with my complexion, they are very neutral browns."

"This is the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette and I've been really jamming on this. I bought this for my birthday a couple months ago and what I really like about it is it's another nude eyeshadow palette, like we have so many of those right, but what I find different about this one is that it's not too orange, it's not too warm. So many nude brown-based shadows on the market are orange and that does not look good on my skin tone. I have learned that these are incredibly neutral neutrals, they don't have a warmth to them, and so they've been working super duper well for me."

"This is my favorite eyeshadow palette. This is pretty much the only one that I use for the last I want to say at least a year now or more than a year I think is the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette. I really like this one because the nude and neutral shades in this palette are not too warm. Some nude palettes are very orangey and very red based."

"This is the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude eyeshadow palette. I've had this one for just about a year now and I really like it. It's a bit crumbly though, as you see I did lose one of the pink glitter eyeshadows unfortunately because it just popped out of the pan and I couldn't save it."

"I cannot do a job without this palette it is so stunning. It's so soft. It's not too warm but there are warms in it. Even like the shades, it's not like a super orangey peach, it has enough gray to it that it really just sits so naturally on the skin and it just looks like a color that would normally be there. The shimmers are beautiful about this palette. You can't go wrong with any of the shimmers in my opinion."

"The big winner for the day is the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette. This is beautiful, it's nice and cool palette but it does have some warms in it. It's got a lot of variety in there. The colors are gorgeous, they blend really well, they wear really well. The colors are all very wearable. There's nothing in here that makes it such a dark palette that you wouldn't use it. The only real criticism of the palette is that for me I don't need that many shimmers with glitter in them, but even though I ended up wearing one of the glitter ones, I don't think it looks bad. I do have a little bit of glitter fall out, but it's not everywhere. In general, these are really great quality. You cannot go wrong with this palette. If you were thinking of getting it, definitely get it. It is a beauty and definitely my favorite thing that I put on today."

"I'm going to use the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette because this has been like one of my favorite palettes for the entire year. It's so beautiful because it's so subtle and gorgeous, but it's a big palette, it's a lot of eyeshadows, it's expensive at I think around $70. Of course getting it on sale, this is the time to buy it if you had kind of wanted this for a while. This palette will not disappoint you. It is one of the most most beautiful palettes. It's one of my most reach for palettes and it's gorgeous."

"Natasha Denona came out with a new palette this year that is just such perfection. I love it. [...] It is the I Need a Nude Palette, and if you're into nude eyeshadows, oh my gosh, this is the most beautiful palette because it's not just a cool palette or just a warm palette. It's a combination, but even the warm tones in here they're not super orange or super red. This shade right here, this rusty color, is the most magical color because even though it looks kind of a bricky color in the pan, it comes off more of a muted clay rust color rather than a super bright orange color. And even this [...] peachy tone, they're very wearable. If you love a nice neutral palette, and they go with the cool shades in here because the cools aren't completely gray. The cools have a little bit of warmth to them, the warms have a little bit of cool to them, and so they just blend perfectly and make you these gorgeous eyeshadow looks. [...] The shimmers in here are so beautiful. It's an expensive palette at $69, so getting it at 20% off is definitely the way to go."

"The new Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette was by far my favorite thing hands down. I've used this just about every single day since I got it and I am so in love with this palette I can't even tell you. It's so spendy but so worth it. The Natasha Denona quality is just so amazingly good from the packaging to the really big mirror, but of course what you're really paying for in the palette is all of these gorgeous pans of color. This is the perfect palette for fall. It's got you covered if you want to do something warm but it never goes too red or too bright orange. I do like my eyeshadow shades to be muted and these are the perfect muted warm tones. Then it gives you a bunch of taupes, grays, midtone matts that you can play with in the crease, and then the shimmers in this, oh my gosh, the shimmer colors in this are so next level beautiful. They just reflect light so perfectly. I love using a darker color out here and a lighter color in here and then smudging them together in the center and it just gives me the most beautiful effect on the eye. I just think that this palette is just, they really hit it out of the park with this one. I feel like I would definitely be able to use every shade in this palette."

"The Natasha Denona I Am Nude palette was one of her most-loved things this year. It is the most gorgeous palette, one you'll use year in and year out until you hit pan. There isn't a wasted shade in it. It's so soft, subtle, and muted, with very natural-looking shades. It's mainly neutral but has some warms, some cools, and a whole bunch of shimmery colors that are perfect for the holidays. The looks you get on your eyes with it are just so beautiful."
BEST Makeup of 2023! Drugstore + High End | Mature Beauty!
"Hands down my favorite eyeshadow palette of 2023 was the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette. [...] Look at her, she is a stunner, look at those shades. I am not one for heavy dark smoky eyeshadow, I'm more of a less is more where eyeshadow is concerned, I don't like a lot of color on my eyelids, but I like my eyeshadow to do its job, which is to make my eyes look uplifted, to make my hoods look like they're not laying on my eyelashes, and to give me a little bit of added sparkle, add some depth there. And this does that without making my eyeshadow look heavy and bad, kind of costume theatrical makeup. The shades in this are so muted and so beautiful that you just can't go wrong with it. There's only one dark shade in the whole palette and it isn't even that dark, but you can smoke it out if you want. There are a lot of shimmers, they're so pretty, look at the shimmer, look at the sheen on those, I just love them so much. And the mattes though is really where this palette shines, it's got the light matte, it's got the two light neutral mattes."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
