PAT MCGRATH VS NATASHA DENONA - Which brand did I prefer? 

I love ND, I’m so in love with PML makeup from the previous years that she is just special to me. She gave us shades (in her Motherships) I’ve never seen before and you can always purchase them on sale. I don’t mind that she has so many sales. I just love her makeup! The I Need A Nude palette by ND looks absolutely stunning on fairer skin tones, but it’s not for my darker complexion. Xenon looks amazing and I might be purchasing it in the future.

No comparison, even PMG LABS 10 pan mothership, or 18 pan mthrshp mega or quints trump Natasha for me as performance. PMG has high level saturation, the shimmers dance afar and close up, her mattes do have moments but not like Natasha foggy and patchy mattes. I do think Natasha seems to give more variety in her core / flagship palette… but it’s still not a deciding factor for me because I’m going to use whatever color I like most with great performance when even I’m telling my story of the day, no one decides that for me but me. All the small things that separate Natasha from PMG Labs still doesn’t amount to what simple but extravagant things PMG Labs does. Also, Natasha mattes don’t perform well on people of color. I wish you would’ve included the full range vs eyeshadows and Pats blush, but it still would be unfair for Natasha 🤪🤪🤪. I will say that I really like how Natasha gives a more personal approach to her brand. Far and few do I see Pat as of late give us her time with her labor. Even simple education or conversation from her on the site would make the brand even better. Also, Natasha’s brand platform has great graphic liner… Pat’s platform is nice, while grandiose and RUNWAY APPROVED, just give me good performance and I think that’s what lacks for me. I don’t mind rose or pink stories if it’s full, vibrant, quality and luxury but I have to agree that I too do want more mothership stories even if limited editions never made again or something other than the soft focus touch… I know I know… just this time I will allow the pink rose comments to live without judgement. But even with that… 1 baked special shade from Pat with mattes and shimmers trumps Natasha any day…. For now 😂😂😂

Fantastic comparison. I.m in love of pat mcgrath since I bougth my first mothership 3 yeass ago. Now I have all the motherships less IV and VI that don,t have special shades. For my all they Have some special and unique colour that Made love them. All the mothership Ships are luxe sperience for me.

Realy like your comparison video's both brands are my favorites, PML a bit more, because of the formulas, they are out of this world. Love the colorstories of ND better, I think she realy listens to her costumers. I think PML only does something 'dearing' with her Holiday collections. I wouldn't mind a cooltoned Purle Mothership, or with more Green's. I know, they will never do that again, beause of the first 3 Motherships😊 As always, love the looks you created

Love the comparisons! The PML formula works so much better for me. I cannot get the ND formula to work at all. I’ve bought nearly every pallet because the color stories are beautiful, but can’t wear any of them😢😢😢.

I prefer Natasha because I love her cream-to-powder and creamy matte formula, as well as her metaliics. Also, the color stories are more unique within the brand versus how the last four or so Motherships were all in the same color family. I do enjoy Natasha's point system and sales as well. I do like some of PML formulas. I think it's a shame there's so much inconsistencies among the formulas. Sometimes, the PML site has 40% off, which brings the cost of a Mothership palette down to about $78.

I prefer ND Pats formulas are inconsistent and don't always work well within the shadows, unlike with natasha, all shadows work really well with each other, it was the first time blending out shimmers with shimmers or matallics. I've tried it with pats, but often gets muddy. Been using makeup for 4 years now and have around 90-100 palettes...just my opinion of course

Nice work Ivana! I got the palettes but haven’t have the chance to work with them yet. They are beautiful ❤Thank you for the video 😊

I only buy ND eyeshadow palettes now, don't waste my time on anything else! The one Pat one i bought was really hard to work with... way too pigmented. I find ND much more practical for every day.

I am curious to see what PML has for the future. I hope she listens to the grumblings and change up her color stories, brings back the special shades and tweak the mattes. The mattes are fine but nothing worth that price.

One was great and special, and the other one is exceeding expectations. So, it easy to prioritize.. I am getting all ND, and will only get the color story that really interest me for Pat, I’m even decluturing some Pat.. looks like there are no so my CV interest anymore.. 😊

I love your comparison videos too! Just curious because I noticed you don’t review them on your channel. Do you ever use indie brands? If not, is there a reason? I feel like indie brand eyeshadows have way outdone the formulas from Mainstream brands. But that’s my opinion.
