The color story of this palette makes sense in terms of it being "vintage" or retro. Pinks & aqua/mint were HUGE color stories in decor & fashion once upon a time. If you've ever had to renovate a pink or aqua tiled bathroom complete with matching toilet & sink in pink, then you know :D

Absolutely! The palette gives me big 60s vibes, like frosty green all over with a dark line in the crease and chunky lower lash
Totally unrelated to the look but I love how the color story of this palette perfectly vibes with the colors of your snake poster and the head vase in your background. Unintentional color coordination is my fav thing lol

YESSSS!! 🙌 I noticed that too! And I do love pink and green combos. It’s my favorite color combo. 🤦♀️😉
I actually like that this palette doesn't have super dark shades< i feel like evry palette comes with half of the shades being super dark and not pale skin friendly at all. Like her retro palette has so many dark shades that look very similar on the eyes, I can't even use up all of them before running out of all of the lighter mates and shimmers. Not every palette has to be super smoky and dark, this one is giving icy fantasy and I enjoy that.
I'm pale with really blue cool-toned skin and I think these blue-greens are what I really need to actually be able to get eyeshadow to look green (greens always pull like a brown bruise colour 😂). I think this palette isn't going to the be most accomodating for all skin tones, which I guess would be a problem if you're a collector and want all of ND's releases. But she's already got so many warm and dark colour stories that it's nice to see something a bit different!

Not talking about Lauren but in general, people are so used to warm tone palettes that every time a cool tone palette is released, they talk about it as if there's something wrong with it. Like it is flawed because for once it doesn't cater for them, or just for what they're used to see...

@@agirlyhasnoname I think this palette is going to work on many more skin tones that it appears. There's a reason ND used mostly dark skin models for her demos. But it does make me feel feen, not only as a pale person, but most as a cool toned one!
Natasha needs to add you to the pr list, you’re always so thorough with the reviews 🙌🏼 I’m not fond of her formula but after seeing the palette swatches I actually like the color story
I definitely LOVE the 50/60’s mod style of this pallet. This pallet took me back to a era and that’s what I appreciate from it. 🤩
A lot of people had some difficulty with the Zendo palette but the Zendo is a great pairing for this Retro Glam. It also has greens, pink/peachy shades and neutrals but are all darker and have been great to add some depth to this new palette too.

I was thinking the same thing. I bought the Sydney Grace Mel bundle it looked way better. This looks like something my mom wore when eyeshadow had no pigment.
I am actually really excited for this to arrive at my house because I’m pretty fair and I like a more midtoned look for work rather than a ton of drama. I’m definitely going to pop out one of those two sage green matte shades for something with a bit of depth from either glam or retro.
That green cream to powder reminds me of a dreamy green you get out of pastels or watercolors in art
My Type A self has never broken up palettes bc I’m like ahhhh how would I know where they came from. And then you show your system of labeling each shadow with the original palette and placement and I’m like omg *mindblown* Amazing!!
I really love that ND eyeshadows are easy to poke out and rearrange.
I could be totally wrong but this colour story reminds me of the early 1960s.
I am pretty excited for the retro glam palette. As a summer type, I often find ND palettes to be too dark and warm toned. But I agree it is maybe a bit too monochromatic.
Thank you for this video - as an extremely cool-toned person, this palette looks amazing on my face and is surprisingly dynamic. I never expect 15-pan color stories to be tailored for cool-toned customers, but this one is. It’s unsaturated and Evergreen was not as deep as I hoped either; I use Jazzy on the inner corner for that dimension. Mini Retro looks so different on everyone and it leans pretty warm on me. I was reluctant to commit to buying the full version until I heard how many warmer-undertoned influencers I respect were surprised by it. So cheers to the truly cool-toned among us who rarely get even this much diversity in 15-pan palettes. We’re a minority but I feel seen! Haha thanks again.

This palette is a daytime smokey eye for those of us that wanna wear a smokey eye on a Tuesday and dont want their childs teacher to think "she might be a night walker" lol lol I mixed the dream palette and this palette together and made my perfect palette!!!!!!!! I also love that u can customize the palettes to ur taste cuz i hate going frm 1 palette to another
It was definitely missing depth. And I LOVE that you are tweaking the palette in this video - one of my favorite kind of your videos. i also tweaked mine and really love the look I created the first (and only time) I wore it. I think your look is GORGEOUS, but I am used to seeing you in more neutral colors so this is definitely different and also less sparkly than you usually go. I hope you do a video with a look or two from your newly created palette once you’ve played with it. I’m always surprised how many creators never do the swapping out or re-creating color stories of their own with her palettes. It gives you SO many more options!!!

I love your re-design! Especially the left side 9 pan 🤩
you creating your own color story was SOOOOO much fun to watch i loved it
Fun video & great review! Always love your eye looks!
Lauren, you use the best adjectives!! I love the way you describe the swatches!
This was so fun watching you remix your pallette
I love how you switch up your palettes! I recently switched around my zendo and pastel and am now finding new love for them and wanting to pick them up more. The midi retro is my fav ND palette and I get so excited to use that one, especially because it’s a main date night palette for me 😊 I’m anxiously waiting for my retro glam to arrive!
Good morning from San Diego California. I love your look in this video. This might be my first ND palette purchase. I think the colors are so different from anything else i have. Love your videos.
I really like your shade descriptions and your eye look. I can’t wait for you to mix this into your ND collection. I’m going to mix it with the glam and the retro palettes. I’m so waiting on my Sephora order!!! Uh. Wait. I commented before finishing your video and I’m so glad to see you mix in your Collection like I Knew you would. Lol.
Okay yep, those swatches convinced me. I have a NYX palette where I mix a pink and a green color that are similar in tones to these colors and I LOVE that so I know I’m going to love playing with this color story
I actually went back and watched the video in which you made your own and I preferred that! I ordered mine and I just got a notification that it finally shipped but I’m worried I’ll be over it by the time it arrives to me. I was hoping it would be more of those muted greens and nuanced cooler leaning peach and pink nudes with a few sparkly multidimensional topper shades like the mini… but I feel like we got baby blues, one interesting green shade, multiple silvery taupes, and warm pinks. I think the problem was simply the fact that it was marketed as the larger mini retro instead of being marketed for what it is-a cross between the glam and retro with pops of blue.
I really like that makeup look! It's super pretty. I like the sparkly brow bone too. I am afraid to do more smoky or sultry looks but you make it look so easy amd beautiful. I don't own any of her pallets but I am really drawn to this one.
These colors looks sooo good on you

I would love to see what you can do with the Flare shade! Thanks for the review. I just got the ND Pastel palette and I think there’s enough similar vibes in that to keep me going for now.
My thoughts about this palette are the same as yours on every point. Even though there are only 5 shades in the mini Retro I still find it more beautiful and more complete 💜 And I think both the nearly neutral palette by Glaminatrix and the nouveau palette by ABH are more fitting as an extended versions of the mini Retro 🤔
I think it looks beautiful! Can’t wait to get it. I hope she does a gold midi palette. 🤞🏻❤️❤️❤️
I think your eye makeup look so good!! And I love you eye shape🤩
The look complemented you! I liked it!
Honestly this this stunning on you with your silver nose ring skin tone ect.
I really like the “glam palette inspired” shades that were added.
My favorite thing about your channel is your version of different palettes. You have such a great eye! Will you post pictures of your rearranged ND palettes on IG??
I fell in love with this palete since I laid my eyes on it. I am not really a makeup lover per se, but how elegant and feminine this palette color set i! It`s not dramatic and flashy, it`s more like discrete, elegant, but not boring and very feminine. Loved it sm!

I got mine today. I totally love it! I have wanted it since the day I first saw it but had to save for it. It is understated and classic. I am cool toned in my 60's and green has been my favorite color since birth. I am in love. ❤
I haven't played with mine yet, but I did get it and I'm excited to play with it next time I have the energy to do my makeup. I like your version of the Retro Glam - there's something kinda festive about it, but in a refreshing way because it's not trying to be festive.
Super nice video. Thank you for all the effort you put in. 😊 I am still not decided if I want this palette. It has my favourite green tone but because is my favourite I also have it a million times 😂. And also I feel you are right with the mini. I have this one and love it and not see that there is much more variety in the bigger one. 🤷🏻♀️ Your swatches in this new lighting situation are very helpful. 😘
Value is definitely the word you looking for! All the greens in this palette are the same tone, different values. It’s strange that the greens in the mini are much more yellow brown swampy greens and these are so so so blue- i mean pretty but very different
Omgoodness Lauren🥰🥰🥰 I nearly died when I saw you're custom metropolis palette ❤❤❤Do you have a video of how you put that color story together and from which palettes???? Your vision is absolutely beautiful and I'm in love!!!!! Actually with all of the ones you've rearranged 🎉 Would you consider doing a dedicated video to the palettes you've customized if doesn't already exist????
Finally someone said it, the fact that if you are missing a deeper shade or you would prefer to tweak it you can actually do it. Thank you for exploring that aspect.
I bought the Sydney grace version, highly recommend 😊
I just swatched this at Sephora it’s gorgeous
I think the look is stunning on u!!!
It’s a gorgeous palette. I have been able to do SOOOO many looks. Maybe you had pre conceived ideas? I love that it is different with the greens and not just taupe.
Your ‘metropolis’ looks so good! I wish I could exchange my retro glam for this one. I love ND but I felt the need to swap a few colors from retro and glam as well. I ended up putting the greens, neutral and warm colors in the retro glam, and adding the pinks to the retro.
I have to say the makeup look you did for this video is one of my favorites you've done, even though I know you weren't crazy about it but I think it paired nicely with your eye color and hair color. As someone with black hair and brown eyes I don't think I'd love this color story as much on myself, but I still think it's a pretty palette.
Was really looking forward to seeing the larger palette but i think I'd stick to the mini 😆🙃
I don’t know dude! I really am loving those various hues of green 👀👀💚
I got this for a gift from my husband. I LOVE !!!
Could you please do a video of all your customized ND palettes? I saw a glimpse of the palettes you took out shades from, and they all looked like amazing color stories! I wish I had your talent to customize :) Thank you!!
Mine came yesterday and i haven’t opened it yet but i think all of the reviews maybe point to the reason why Natasha didn’t make a midi with this color scheme initially-it doesn’t lend itself naturally to a great number of diverse looks. I swooned when i saw what your Metropolis looks like-ir would be dun to see that footage and to have a monthly palette mash up of her palettes put into a playlist
Every video I see of this palette, I feel like I could get a very similar look with my colourpop the child palette
We've been waiting ☺️
Omg I love your version I want it lol
If I were to buy a ND palette, it would be this one, but ND is out of my price range. Maybe some day I will find if for a price I can pay on Poshmark. I adore that retro color combo of blue leaning mint greens and pinks. I always think in my head whenever some talks about ripping out pink toilets, etc, "but I want my bathroom to look like that!"
I love green and taupe and I definitely want this but after swatching in Sephora I am happy to wait for a sale. Especially on my medium olive skin it didn’t feel worth almost 70 dollars.
I want the Midi palette but only because I LOVE the Mini so much. There are a few shades in the bigger palette that call to me but it doesn’t compare to the small version. 💚💖
I do love the color story pink and green are some of my favorite pink green and purple are my favorite so there is a palette that was just pink green purple I would definitely buy it from Natasha Denon a I only have a couple of her small 25 dollars and pallets I got off of boxychran thanks for your recommendation on that I do love the formula and now I am totally just waiting for my perfect color story from her but I don't own any big ones but I really want to try them on Thompson one and I hope that you try it too it looks so much more sparkly impact
as of now im not getting this palette. I have the mini and really like it. idk it’s too sage I think for me. it lacks depth but i like how you tweaked yours. i think it’s what the palette needed.
I went with Mel's!
You said you were not sure about those colors in the look you came up with. I personally thought it was beautiful on you. Maybe just not used to it yet? This palette really is so different than most. Takes guts, style, and artistry to release a palette that is nothing like we’ve ever seen before!!
Love your take! I took out the dark pink shimmer and exchanged it for the dark teal green from Zendo. I feel soo stupid though, I had NO IDEA the pans in the Metropolis were magnetic 🤦🏻♀️
I’m feeling ya! It’s so pretty but something about it when I put it on my eyes I’m not in love with! I don’t know what it is! I want to love it so bad 😂
I think you may like it more when you are paler/more cool tone blush? or with a more over all cool tone look? You look amazing tho! I adore this color story, but sadly these shades of greens I personally do not like on myself >.< but they are my fav on other people or like on objects.

but I really love the soft mid tone color on you, very ethereal
So my bathroom is 50’s retro with gray tiles and a pink sink, tub, and toilet. This palette is ACTUALLY Retro Glam.
I love the new palette!! but I hate how colored eyeshadows looks on me. I also have really sensitive eye and they pretty much water at the thought of blending an eyeshadow. I hope you do more videos using this palette so I can live vicariously through you!
I was expecting more peachy shades, as well as depth. As of now, I’m gonna stick with the mini! (Though anybody who wants more depth and saturation, check out Sydney Grace’s bundle that Mel Thompson put together-it’s gorgeous.)
The palette is so pretty, but I can dupe the vibes and make that my own. Am I going to buy it? No, but if it was a gift (doubt it ever will be), I would gladly accept it without hesitation. I did make my own version and had a matte black in it and a darker (getting closer to black) shimmery green that goes well with mint. My version was definitely more perfect for me, but as I said this palette is so pretty.
I would love a comparison of the Sydney Grace Mel Thompson Retro bundle and the ND

Personally, Idk why you are complaining because I honestly have wanted this palette for a while now, but I'm not willing to spend nearly $70 for it. I cant honestly afford ND palettes because they are so expensive, but thank goodness for Mercari, Poshmark, Ebay, and FB Marketplace. If it wasnt for them, I wouldnt have half the makeup I have. Today, I bought the Retro Glam palette off Mercari for $40. I saved myself $30 which is truly amazing. It was brand new, never opened, never used. I am waiting for it to arrive anyday now. I am excited because I've never owned anything from ND. So, this is going to be a new experience. I came here for reviews, but all I hear is complaints. I think you are beautiful and I love this look on you. Looks stunning.
I'd like somebody to do a few looks combining the Retro Glam with the mini Retro palette, I think it will be fun :)
Would have loved a cream to powder deep red and deep green, and one warmer colour to mix things up!
I feel like if I get the mini I'd be happy 😊
I think Jade in the Retro Palette is greenish. I love the mulberry and the silvery green.
I love ND formula. Seriously and I agree, I love how you can move things around etc with her palettes. I didn’t get this one. It reads too pastel mint to me. So, it’s missing that muted melon vibe I get from the retro mini. At least in my opinion.
I loved your creation in the end! Which brings me to a question for me (maybe a challenge for you?) If you had three ND palettes - metropolis, glam and love, which another midi would you choose, to gain the biggest coverage of a missing colours? What Im trying to do with my palettes, is try not to double shadows (cause Im too poor to own double colours lmao) and in my mind Metropolis covers a bit of bronze and maybe gold? Maybe a bit of zendo? Glam is glam, love covers a bit of retro maybe? Would you add another midi palette if you had to? Which one? Or would you not? (I also have mini retro and star if that helps).
I really loved this amazing honest review and critical assessment of the Retro Glam (really confusing actually! 😂 Maybe Natasha shouldn’t have called the Retro the Retro in the first place. Lol!) including adding in a reworking of the palette the way you envision it. One of the best reviews out. AND you spoke of my complaint that I found both the greens and the pinks were too much the same in hue (color) and were just tonally (shade) varied. With that you can’t get a variety of looks AND if you pair them together they meld into one color. I call it my ND Neopolitan Icecream palette. Cause that’s all you can get from it. 😂 As a result it made me itch with inspiration to come up with my own version with my singles too. However, I just used my available singles including Clionadh multichromes that I wanted in it. It’s not a perfect representation of a Retro (I didn’t have true sage colors ~ so the greens aren’t as cool toned as I’d like) but it’s along the lines and will give so much more. I may even take out one or two or three shadows in my Neopolitan palette and add those Clionadh’s to bump it UP!! 😁💥
I wanted this for such a long time. I still wanted it when it was leaked before release. Then when it released I felt so “eh” about it and didn’t want it. It was such a weird reaction. I still don’t want it, but I have watched some reviews on it. It just doesn’t call me the way I thought it would.

I feel so underwhelmed by all the reviews and seeing how many similar shades there are in one pallet is a complete turn off from buying it.
I always “think in quads” so my version might be closer to yours than ND, but arranged differently
Something about this color story makes me think of January. It's still icy winter but Spring is on the horizon. I have yet to buy a ND palette and I'm still not sure which one I want.
