Here are some of the looks I did using the Natasha Denona Yucca Palette. These are all available as tutorials on YouTube. Also check out my swatch post here.
Look #1
Shades used:
- Tipu – Outer transition shade
- Flax – Outer lid
- Fushi – Inner lid/crease, lower lash line
- Elysian – Center of lid (dry brush)
- Komorebi – Inner corner, brow bone (dry brush for both)
Look #2
Shades used:
- Calathea – All over lid/crease
- Acacia – Lower lashline
- Plantasia – Center of lid
For this one I included photo of the way it looked before I applied the shimmer as an alternative. Calathea is a creamy powder and it takes a while to build up to this level of color payoff. I found using my finger the fastest way to build up color but I still had to use a few brushes to get it to look evenly applied. Wear time for this look was not great. I wore it for about 4 hours before I saw creasing both with and without primer. The rest of the non-cream shades seem to be pretty long wearing on me though.
Look #3
Shades used:
- Ixia – All over lid/crease
- Willow – Lower lash line
- Elysian – Outer corner, inner corner
I used Elysian initially with a dry brush which made it easier to blend around the edges but I went over it again with a damp brush to kick the shine and color up a notch.
Look #4
Shades used:
- Acacia – Outer crease/transition, lower lash line
- Valley – Inner lid/crease
- Calathea – Outer corner for depth
- Komorebi – Center of lid (dry brush only)
Look #5
Shades used:
- Malia (Natasha Denona Safari Palette) – Inner corner, brow bone
- Aya (Natasha Denona Safari Palette) – Transition
- Valley – Crease, very lightly and very blended
- About Face White Noise Matte Fluid Eye Paint – Center of lid
- Plantasia – Center of lid (dry brush)
For this one I wanted to try Plantasia over a light base color. I used a white cream shadow just on the center of the lid and blended it out before placing the shimmer over top.
Look #6
Shades used:
- Ixia – All over lid
- Tipu – Outer crease
- Fushi – Lower lash line
- Makia – Inner corner (applied with wet brush)
- Calathea – Tiny bit on the outer corner
Look #7
Shades used:
- Acacia – Outer crease/transition
- Willow – Outer lid/crease, inner lower lash line
- Citrine – Inner lid, outer lower lash line
- Camu Camu – Inner/outer corners
- Ray – Center of lid (dry brush)
Look #8
Shades used:
- Acacia (right eye) / Tipu (left eye) – Crease/outer lid
- Flax – Liner
- Calathea – Lower lash line
- Elysian – Center of lid (dry brush)
There were a few things I wanted to accomplish with this look. First, I wanted to see how different Tipu and Acacia look when used side by side. I used Acacia on one eye (first image) and Tipu on the other (second image) and then wore the look all day. I could not tell them apart. In swatches, they are not 100% identical but they are very similar. I also wanted to see if Flax was pigmented enough to be used as eyeliner and how Elysian looks as a complementary shimmer to the warmer/greener toned mattes.
