Safari All Matte Palette

I don't understand how this palette got so many varied reviews, though it is quite pigmented and not creamy like her newer formulas . So some may have difficulty with that, esp if you try to blend it to death. I bought this from the first release a long while back. I use my Sonia G/WG/HakuH natural hair brushes with it, pack where i want the colour gently and blend outer edges. I try not to stack too many colours together. Its a beautiful colour story and ive gotten so many different wonderful looks from it.

I love this palette, I use the colours the way Natasha Denona has shown in her videos. I use the pat pat motion/packing and it has great longevity for the whole day. Well worth it.

I almost didn't buy this palette after seeing all of the negative reviews on YouTube. I own the Gold Palette and the Biba palettes and while they're both very pretty, I honestly don't get much use out of them. I like the colors in the Gold palette very repetitive and while the Biba palette is fine, I just feel like it is missing a color or two and so reach more for palettes that are all in one when getting ready for work in the morning.

However, with that being said, the formula is on point. I love how creamy Natasha's shadows are and the Safari palette color scheme just reaches out to touch me. My biggest complaint is that, for the price, I need to be able to use every single shadow in the palette and be happy with the results.

I don't know if it's a quality control issue or if I just don't own as much makeup and therefore am less picky than beauty Youtubers, but I adore this palette. Every color is rich and creamy and performs just the way I need it to. I find I can go extremely neutral for work or, I can add a touch of color for days when I'm feeling a bit more playful or on nights out, can go full glam. This palette is extremely versatile and I love having access to cooler tones. I am tired of the warm, neutral craze. If that's your thing, do it girl, but I just want something different.

My opinion is that if it speaks to you and you can afford it, go for it. Especially if you aren't going for Instagram or YouTube extremes, but are just looking for a nice quality, everyday palette.

So i have now have 2 Natasha Denona palettes, Sunset which is amazing and now the safari. I am a novice at makeup but because i generally spend on good quality because i am a liker of things!! Anyway, this palette is amazing, yes it does take some getting used to but luckily for me i actually read reviews and watched videos because there was such a mixed bag of views on this one. Packing is absolutely the best way to get the most bang for this product but the quality is perfection. The colours are amazing and just up my alley with a little bit outside my comfort. I didn't hesitate and it is always so lovely when i open this up and just go.

I am very happy and look forward to using this for some time to come.

This is beautiful and perfect. I love the matte look, especially at work. Some colors take a little more blending, but the payoff is worth it.

First let me say this! Beautylish has the fastest shipping that I have ever encountered. I will always come here first for any of my heart needs. Now to this pallette! This thing is beautiful! I’m a nurse and I wore this for an entire 12 hour shift and it looked the same! The shadows blend so easy! And listen I’m no pro!

This is what I have been searching for! Gorgeous colors and blends beautifully. The colors compliment each other and the combinations are endless! I will be buying again once I hit pan!

These eyeshadows apply like a dream, and practically blend themselves. ND mattes NEVER disappoint!

I ordered this palette on a whim. I initially wrote it off when I saw people having issues with patchiness. But I couldn’t get the color story out of my head. I never had the ABH Subculture palette, which is said to have a similar color story. I felt I wanted to give this palette a chance.

It was a great choice. I love the classiness of an all-matte look I can get with the palette. I can also use shimmers from other palettes to compliment these colors. I plan on getting her Gold Palette to do so. And the colors are pigmented and lovely fall colors. Be warned, however, that you shouldn’t blend the cool toned colors too much. They will leave a patchy mess underneath. The best way would be what other reviewers suggested. Packing the shadows on with a flat packing brush, carefully. I know cool tones are hard to manufacture well, so I’m willing to put in the extra work for these to work. The warm tones, however, will work just fine without the extra work. Overall, wonderful colors that complement my skintone, and excellent pigmentation. Five stars.

such a beautiful palette. couldnt have asked for more! the colors are special and blend like a dream. all in all: perfect!
