I think it’s interesting this palette got so much shade from the makeup community. Considering how many nude palettes are out there I thought one greyish palette was a great idea
Patient makeup is a form of self-care, when you have time to really sit and take everything moment by moment. And creating such beautiful results is so satisfying.
Allie, please post before after pictures at the end. It makes us see what a difference make up really does. It's very inspiring because sometimes we don't realise we really can make even a slight postive difference by doing our make up.
You know how certain color stories just excite you and are just so pleasing to your eye and draw you in - this palette is one of those for me. But I doubt I would end up using it much, while at the same time, loving the look of it each time I opened it. Admittedly, I have some many (some spendy) palettes that I impulsively purchased and become overwhelmed with where to begin every time I open them - I typically don’t have time to goof it up and start over so I put away and grab for a nice good proof option. I’m glad I resisted the urge to buy this one.
Me too. If I want a darker smoky look I’ll go with tried and true palettes I’ve established I know how to work with (I’m stuck on ABH soft glam or sultry and profusion’s 10-pan smoky for such looks). I have my favorite familiar tried and true palettes for certain looks. I do really enjoy the ND mini palettes though and keep a couple in my purse for on the go looks. I just know they’ll look how I want and I don’t have to worry it’ll turn out badly. Then I take my time on the weekends to play with bigger palettes and thoroughly enjoy them then. I wish I had more time to play! 😮
I’m so glad to see you use this cool toned palette! I have cool pink undertones and it seems like most of the UA-camrs I watch always use warm pallets so they are never for me. Thanks Allie XO
I had to take a break due to health/family passing away but I have a fair cool undertone so totally understand what you mean. I have all these on my to film list. Just fyi
I have this pallet and live it! Yes you can go super dramatic but if you use it with a light hand it is so much more wearable and if your someone that wear silver a lot you will enjoy this one so much. It also pairs so well with INAN pallet.
Hi Allie! I know you don’t really do the full face of 1 brand anymore, but would love to see one with Givenchy! I have the powder but v interested in the Prism Libre concealer & other products! ❤ you!
Allie…you mentioned that this palette was out of your comfort zone and no one would ever know because you truly create such beautiful looks no matter what comes your way. I appreciate you and your content so much! I truly believe you were put on this earth to inspire others through your creative artistry. Sending ❤ your way to your beautiful family! I can’t believe our girls are going to be 1 in a week! Ahh seems like just yesterday when we had them. Love you! Merry Christmas!
I loved the look you put together. I waited and waited for this pallet to come out. It’s my type of pallet. I have white hair and pale skin. Have worn grey eye eyeshadow for years. It wasn’t easy to find in higher end cosmetics. That’s why I was dying for this pallet to arrive. Great pallet. Love it 💜💜💜
Allie, you definitely should use those colours more it matches beautifully with your eye shape and colour. I know that you prefer warm nude shades (and they do look gorgeous) but the way you balanced that cool smokey eye with a warm peachy blush and a bronzer is just 10/10. ✨
1. This look is beautiful. 2. If I had to choose between Xenon and Huda's Pretty Grunge, I'd probably go with Grunge. That breaks my heart to say, because I own and love all of ND's midi palettes. There are only so many looks you can get out of this one.
Beautiful look, and it suits you really well. I was unsure about it first, as I also do not wear Smokey eyes very often. I gave it a go and now it is is my favorite out of the three ND midi palettes I own. I personally think you can do quite good (cool toned) every day looks. We are very similar in skin colour and undertone. I found the light shimmers are great for a one and done look (it gives winter vibes but currently is the right time 😉).
For anyone wanting something very similar but on a budget, Milani has guilded coastal, very similar and dollar tree has a 3 pan with black,grey & white , it's a good way to practice with these tones and not breaking the bank ❤
This is by far my favorite look that you have done in a long time. You always do beautiful looks, but this look looks so editorial. I just love it. I also love silver eye looks. I really need to try this look. I am so intimidated with very dark colors, especially with black. Anyways, absolutely stunning. ❤😊
It looks stunning on you!! Would love to see more colors next year. Just for fun! 12 different colorful looks throughout the year, like once a month? :)
You need to wear this more often. Looks amazing on you. I did buy it buy haven’t played with it yet but now seeing your look. Wow. I can’t wait to dip into mine. 💖💄👄🎄
The eyeshadow looks beautiful on you. I agree it's a night out on the town palette. I would not buy it myself as I cannot afford to spend seventy dollars on eyeshadow.
You did an excellent job on your palette look Allie. Very dimensional and full of depth. I am lovely the holiday make-up releases. This palette reminds me of a sister product to Byredo’s Metal Boots in the Snow by Isamaya Ffrench (her own make-up brand is risqué in appearance but very good, same with the Byredo products (palettes, color sticks, lipsticks, kahjals and mascaras). Would love to see you review them!
Hi , i have mine and i am a mature lady with silver hair and blue eyes and it looks stunning , and i truly love mine ! its best to apply lightly to achieve a very light application then yes blending is the answer then your able to add , it’s beautiful i just simply love it , by now i have had time to use almost all the shades and its beautiful i just adore the shades as believe me all the shades are very different as just looking at it you might not realise it ! but do buy it or get the mini, .if you think you wont use all the shades . i have never seen the mini so i bought the midi straight away but happy i did . enjoy my regards liz xxx
Between this and the huda pretty grunge palette, i would say the huda would get more uses. it is still grunge while having variation. but honestly this palette is beautiful.
I hardly comment but just had to say this is my favourite look I’ve ever seen you do! I’m obsessed with the Smokey eye look but always end up messing it up. You killed it though
My Revie Beauty lipies and makeup bag came today, and I already lost one of them under my big recliner! I'm devastated. I'll find it sooner or later. I love the colors. The bag is perfect to keep makeup in. I love how soft the fabric is, but it's also very strong. I'll give you my thoughts on your lip products after a couple weeks.
I have it but it’s a companion palette for me I wish the grays didn’t lean as blue as they do but I use it some …great video as always your look was amazing thanks 💜🌻✌🏻
Beautiful look on you! Series idea: eye looks (makeup looks/trends) that push me out of my comfort zone 🤔. You could throw a spin on it and do some by era/decade.
how about a barely there cool toned bronzer shadow, then use one of the darker colors as a liner (make it 1.5 times the wing you're used to), then tulip on the lips
I thought the same until I saw the palette in person. It is extremely dimensional and performs in a niche fashion per interaction with different skin tones and eye colors. All of her palettes are transformative in this way. There is depth to Black, Grey, Greige, that most without much foresight or range can achieve. Allie excels with that.

I don't know how you're not more of a smokey eye girl, because this is so stunning.
We need a full formal dress for New Year’s with this eye look!!!
This is the best look I've ever seen you do. It looks AMAZING on you. Don't sleep on this one Allie. It's 🔥

This palette really brought out the beautiful colours in your eyes. It may not be your go to palette but oh my goodness, it really suited you!
I’m so glad to see you use this cool toned palette! I have cool pink undertones and it seems like most of the UA-camrs I watch always use warm pallets so they are never for me. Thanks Allie XO

These colors fit you so well! You should use them more ❤
I think it looks great !! In my opinion, you should definitely go “ out of your comfort zone “ more often !! It’s very flattering!!
I love a pop of silver on a cool neutral base... wish ND would make a palette that combines the mattes from I Need a Nude with the silvers from Xenon
seeing Allie reviewing this palette is a dream come true 😍
I have this pallet and live it! Yes you can go super dramatic but if you use it with a light hand it is so much more wearable and if your someone that wear silver a lot you will enjoy this one so much. It also pairs so well with INAN pallet.
So excited to see you doing some looks outside of your normal sparkly nude pink. Whish you had gone even darker
Hi Allie! I know you don’t really do the full face of 1 brand anymore, but would love to see one with Givenchy! I have the powder but v interested in the Prism Libre concealer & other products! ❤ you!
Hi Allie. That look on you is beautiful. Thank you. I love the gray/silver. I use those colors with my black outfits.
Stunning…..your colors for sure!
I’ve re-created this look for a holiday party last night and I was so happy with it. Thank you!

Fantastic look for any party 🎉
Yes! these colors really made your eyes pop!
I bought it recently. I absolutely love it and your tutorial was so helpful.
Just gorgeous ❤
LOVE it! Smokey eyes look wonderful on you ❤❤❤
Just wow! I am so happy you went out of your comfort zone! Gorgeous as always!
It's not out of your comfort zone!! You made that look for your wedding day!!
Been waiting for your take on this palette and you did not disappoint.
I LOVE this look! 😍 I'm really enjoying your videos where you try different eye shadows, can't get enough
Well your eyes look amazing! I love how the silver color plays off the color of your eyes. So pretty
1. This look is beautiful.
2. If I had to choose between Xenon and Huda's Pretty Grunge, I'd probably go with Grunge. That breaks my heart to say, because I own and love all of ND's midi palettes. There are only so many looks you can get out of this one.
This look is amazing on you and the smokey look really suits you xx
This look is EVERYTHING! It goes perfectly with your black top and jacket
Ohhhhh, just what I needed! I absolutely love when you get super excited about the makeup!❤
This looks amazing on you! So cool to see you use your skills with different colors! 😍
Great video. Beautiful look.
Best look anyone has done with this pallet. Wow! Beautiful!
Love from South Africa xoxo

Love how the look came out! ❤ Gorgeous like always! God bless your loving family!

Love the look. I’m definitely excited for a cool-toned palette!
It should be your type of colour palette as it’s one of the most beautiful eye looks I’ve seen on you, Stunning!!😍
This is by far my favorite look that you have done in a long time. You always do beautiful looks, but this look looks so editorial. I just love it. I also love silver eye looks. I really need to try this look. I am so intimidated with very dark colors, especially with black. Anyways, absolutely stunning. ❤😊
Wow, you really should wear these types of colors more often, you look gorgeous!! So fun to play with something new 😊
You look gorgeous in this look! Keep using this palette. It suits you.
Your eyes are magic with these shades!! Go cool rocker Allie! 👍
Stunning look!
You look fantastic with this eye color! It makes your eye color pop
It looks stunning on you!!
Would love to see more colors next year. Just for fun! 12 different colorful looks throughout the year, like once a month? :)
I'm like you--not my colors. But I love ND shadows! They're the best!
Your makeup is beautiful Allie🤩🤩🤩
I bought this palette and I have used it so much already! It’s absolutely beautiful & my favourite palette to use
You look amazing in these shades!!
You need to wear this more often. Looks amazing on you. I did buy it buy haven’t played with it yet but now seeing your look. Wow. I can’t wait to dip into mine. 💖💄👄🎄
Oh I’ve seen some demos with this palette. 😍 also, the makeup looks so pretty and matched with your eye color. 😍
That has to be the prettiest coloring on your eyes ever! Bravo
Stunning! By the way, what color is on your nails?! 😍😍 I NEED!
I love it! It's tricky though if the tones clash too much with the tone of the eyebrows... great application as always!
The eyeshadow looks beautiful on you. I agree it's a night out on the town palette. I would not buy it myself as I cannot afford to spend seventy dollars on eyeshadow.

P.S. If this palette was inspired and named after the Zenon : Girl of the 21st Century 90’s release - 🥹 So lovely. Packaging design as well.

Absolutely love this pallet❤❤❤
Go’head, Girlfriend!! You’re rocking that smokey eye “bad girl” look. 👍♥️
I hardly comment but just had to say this is my favourite look I’ve ever seen you do! I’m obsessed with the Smokey eye look but always end up messing it up. You killed it though
Would love to see you do three holiday looks with this palette
Thank you SO much!! 💕❤️
Your eyes are always beautiful...but, with this smoky eye?! Holy moly so stunning!!
Beautiful on you. You made it look so fresh. ❤

The bag is perfect to keep makeup in. I love how soft the fabric is, but it's also very strong. I'll give you my thoughts on your lip products after a couple weeks.
I’d be flipping that recliner over if I were you 😂
This would look terrible in me but I am impressed you broke out of your comfort zone on this one. Fun to see a different look on you.
It turned out really nice.. But you definitely needed the bronzer to warm it up al little! But overall it looks amazing
Love this look!
Love this look on you
It's just beautiful on you! Wear it more often🎉
I have it but it’s a companion palette for me I wish the grays didn’t lean as blue as they do but I use it some …great video as always your look was amazing thanks 💜🌻✌🏻
Stunning!🤩🖤
I’m just getting into makeup and I love and adore this color story. I’ve also been wanting makeup by Mario the masters neutrals palette
Wow Allie I think u look absolutely beautiful in that pallet greys silvers black really suit u definitely be ordering that pallet xxx
Beautiful look on you! Series idea: eye looks (makeup looks/trends) that push me out of my comfort zone 🤔. You could throw a spin on it and do some by era/decade.
This tones with your eye color is amazingly ❤gorgeous Allie 😍
it works fabulously on you! 👍🏻😻
Yesss I’ve wanted a grungy dark look from you! It looks great ❤ it’s like Allie’s darker alter ego 😂
Stunning 🙌🏼🤩
This smokey look with a slight blue undertones compliments her eyes so well
Hi try ColourPop Papaya blush. I think you would like it.❤
This color is amazing on you !
I'm the same way when it comes to using a peach blush with a dark eyeshadow look (like black or green).
A great new year look!
cool tones suit you the best !
Gorgeous! 🤩 I love this palette! Grays and silvers always look beautiful with my greens eyes 😍You perfected this look! Thank you for the inspiration❤
I used to love a gray look but this is a bit more intense than I go any more. Looks stunning though!
I think you sold me! I love it on you!
Wow!! So beautiful
Love the eyes 👀
how about a barely there cool toned bronzer shadow, then use one of the darker colors as a liner (make it 1.5 times the wing you're used to), then tulip on the lips
It's pretty for sure but too much for shades that are wayyy too similar to eachother
I thought the same until I saw the palette in person. It is extremely dimensional and performs in a niche fashion per interaction with different skin tones and eye colors. All of her palettes are transformative in this way. There is depth to Black, Grey, Greige, that most without much foresight or range can achieve. Allie excels with that.
I absolutely love this pallette!
Would love to see you re-create the Victoria Beckham look Lisa Eldridge did on her UA-cam! ❤❤❤
