The Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette is a cool toned neutral palette with lots of taupes and pinks. About half of the 15 shades are powder mattes and the other half are a variety of different types of shimmers. Similar to the Yucca palette and many others from the brand, the palette is on the larger side with pans that can be removed from the packaging and a nice large mirror inside the lid. For this one, they went a little bit farther on the outside design of the lid than they have with previous palettes. This one has an acrylic layer set over top some graphic elements underneath, giving it just a bit more thickness than older palettes. All other dimensions are the same.
The shades inside have a range of neutral light taupes, some cooler-toned bronze shimmers, a couple of obvious rosy pinks, and some neutrals with strong pink undertones. There are several pale to light shimmers varying from neutral nude to pale pink. As someone with a cool-to-neutral skin tone, I think the shade selection is flattering and easy to wear. I don’t have to force anything to work on me by altering the shade of my foundation or choosing specific blush/lip colors. However, it’s difficult to categorize this palette as truly neutral or cool toned. It relies heavily on pink, even in the taupe shades so that gives it less of a cool-looking effect. If you don’t like pinky neutrals, it may not be the best fit.
