Natasha Denona Work and Set Gel Eyeliners Reviews & Swatches

Nude Natasha Denona Nude Work and Set Gel Eyeliner Natasha Denona Nude Work and Set Gel Eyeliner ($24.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a light peach with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly emollient consistency that was thin, spreadable, and easy to work using different eyeliner brushes. It applied evenly to my lash line and set fast enough not to get into my fine lines but gave me enough time to perfect it. The color lasted well for 10 hours before fading/thinning on my lower lash line, and there was around 60% left after the full 16 hours I tested it for (because that’s what the brand claimed). Also, it would have been nice if this shade was called Beige or Peach, since that’s really more the color it is vs. “nude,” which is a concept, not a specific color.

It includes a mix of metallics, mattes, and cream-powders, and if you’re familiar with the brand’s cream-powder formula and do not like it, you’ll want to skip this palette as there are five cream-powders included in Retro . There are an additional four matte shades, so the palette includes nine satin/matte eyeshadows with the remaining six ranging from pearl to sparkle. I did find that two of the “metallic” shades didn’t feel as rich, emollient, or yield as intense of a metallic finish as most of the brand’s metallic eyeshadows. Patty was one of the less impressive shimmers I’ve tried from the brand in awhile. In practice, I felt like having both Groove and Rebellion was a little redundant, as Groove blended with Go-G o achieved something quite similar. Ingredients Look Ingredients ...
