Don't apologize for loving neutrals - this is why we are here!!! I am tired of YTers who have super crazy colorful looks (makes me think of Mimi from the Drew Carey show lol!). Keep doing what you are doing Mandy and Happy New Year. ♥ Elle
Oh, Mandy, cool tones look absolutely stunning on you. Your skin tone is perfect for cooler tones. Cool tones with that cool toned red lipstick... chefs kiss.
Thank you for recognizing the smaller palettes-there are so many lovely ones. Natasha Denona has an outstanding formula that supports the purchase price, IMO. Never disappoints.
I am not really into Natasha Denona eyeshadows, or mainstream makeup anymore. I do miss the creativity I once saw on this channel, but understand preferences change and that’s okay. With that said, I love a good neutral eye look and a bold lip. That will forever be a classic in my mind! Happy New Year!
I agree Mandy. I am also moving to more nude shades at 44 this year. It’s hard for me to justify getting palettes that have bold blues and greens and such when I know that for my everyday makeup I just don’t do that. Never have really but even more now I am doing warm and neutral looks maybe a cool toned one every now and then.
You look so beautiful Mandy. Love your lip color- gorgeous. Look forward every year to this year end palette video. Wishing you & everyone who loves this channel as much as I do, a Healthy, Happy, & Peace-filled New 2025 Year‼️☮️out from Texas.
Great recommendations! I own several of them, but I still go back to my Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk and Uptown Girl quad palettes for my daily looks. I'm a teacher and I have to get ready fast every day. They are perfect!
So glad this video was suggested to me! I somehow got unsubscribed and didn’t notice. I missed your content! I’ll definitely be catching up on missed content in the coming weeks! Love your recommendations.
That tiny little 4-pan palette from Pretty Smart is actually the brainchild of the woman who founded The Balm brand. Quite an accomplishment, to get that kind of quality into WalMart at a very affordable price. And, as another viewer asked, where is Sydney Grace? Love what you have included, but it seems incomplete.
Loved your video. I was anxiously waiting for it! I also have turned to the more neutral palettes and am so happy with that. Thank you for inspiring me always!
All the palettes are phenomenal. Great top 10 video. I will definitely be purchasing the Natasha Denona warm and gold palettes. They are beautiful. Happy New Year Mandy!!!💝
Ah your number one palette has lived in my purse since I got it. It’s just so beautiful and I love the looks I get with it every time. It’s a staple in my everyday work life honestly. I’m definitely enjoying both the golden and I need a warm ND palettes as well. Those and the I need a nude palette are all chefs kiss. Perfection. Great list! Thank you!
I am middle age. I have some pretty multi chrome Eyeshadow, and I wore them maybe 4 times for concerts. I do not like fall out sit in my lines. Simple neutrals always look classy
Great choices! I love that you have such a "price" range in your favorites, too! There's a couple of those more affordable palettes I will have to keep an eye out for at the drugstore!
Thanks for the recommendations. I’m in my 60’s & have always worn gray or green shadows & would like to wear some of the neutrals but really don’t know how to apply them. Maybe now with your suggestions I’ll choose one of those palettes & start experimenting.
The Pretty Smart line is from the creator of the Balm! It's high-end quality makeup at a more affordable price. I've tried a few things from the line and have enjoyed everything I've tried so far.

Happy New Year to you and your family! I purchased the Alter Ego Daylight and Midsummer palettes based on your recommendations. I love them so much so thank you for sharing your thoughts on the formula as it compares to ND. 😊
Mandy I have said for years you favor cool tones. I only see you on TV mind you lol. BUT you look like a summer in color analysis. There is a sub season called soft summer that can borrow colors from soft autumn. Maybe that is why you like both neutral/cool and neutral/warm?
ND golden vs I need a warm. There is a huge difference for me. I am olive green neutral and lean warm. Beiges and browns are hard for me. They either are too cool and all look gray on my eyelids, or the warmth come from orange and I look like a clown. I need my warmth to come from yellow, green, or even red for it to look natural. The golden palette in general is more neutral than I need a warm too. I have golden and love for the mattes alone lol. There are some peachy shades in it and one copper.
I might have to get the Alter Ego Mist Haven palette and the ND My Dream mini. I have the ND Need A Nude and it’s the only shadow palette I use every day. But sometimes I want something a bit different, yet still pretty neutral-cool. Thanks for a good top 10 for 2024. 👍❤
Maybe it’s me, but I feel like Sydney Grace didn’t release that many palettes this year, except the four season nine pans (unless Glitzy Fritzy and the wedding makeup artist’s palettes released this year, but I thought those were in 2023). I lose track of time though when it comes to when palettes release!
I wonder if there’s a dupe in the Miss Haven palette for Macs original satin taupe. The new formula and shade is completely different. It’s more brown when it used to be more purple leaning. PS you look stunning with this make up look and your hair and everything you look like you should be in white Christmas 🤭😍😘
Thank you very much for your recommendations! The My Mini Dream is my current favorite as well. I wish the Alter Ego palettes would be available here in Germany. Maybe some time soon?
Love the palettes you have chosen except as another subscriber mentioned where is your beloved Sydney Grace palettes. You look very lovely today. Happy New Year 🎀 P.S. I checked the description box to see what else you were wearing. Are you wearing a half lash in this video and is it the the Ardell brand? Elf has a new eyeshadow palette called Keep it Ethereal compared to Makeup by Mario Ethereal Lights minus one shadow. Just FYI.
Thanks for sharing your picks. Don’t it your change in colour choices is aged related. I think changes in skin texture can affect what we wear. We all change our tastes from time to time. No matter what you wear you always look beautify.
I have not purchased a new palette in 2 years because I still have eyeshadow I'm working through but I like to see what's out there and what some of my favorite influencers like! ❤ Happy 2025 All! 🎉
Hey Mandy, a lot of creators are going to the neutral side this past year but I definitely think it’s the age also. I turn 51 in a week… Yeesh! That was hard to say…. Lol. The only 2 pallets I haven’t gotten from my fav Natasha Denona in several years is your #3 &4. I’m really leaning towards one and done. I bought a bunch for the holiday sells. Oh and I did already get her new mini matte pallet. So excited since it’s got that light matte that is missing from a lot of her pallets. I too haven’t loved the Huda pallets so I’m kinda excited to maybe get the Alter Ego grunge dupe. Happy 2025 Mandy!!!
Would've enjoyed seeing at least one "clean" eyeshadow palette, but loved the variety of warm to neutral and different size and price points. Thank you for sharing ...
Do you still do neutral-colorful looks? 😢 You are the most creative youtuber in doing those looks and they never disappoint. Are those more colorful palettes still in your collection 😂
Meh…. We all have the neutrals, myself, I already own six (except I have the ND not alterego) of these, but this is a good video for a no buy year, or if you have no eyeshadow and need one good neutral palette.
Natasha Denona's golden and I need to nude are very different. I am olive green neutral and lean warm. My olive green has some yellow in it. Unless I have a tan, keep anything with orange/peach in it away from me. I am muted too, I will not use the 2/3 most Yellow gold in the golden palette. The I need to nude is too cool tones for me. I look horrible in gray, and most pinks, purple, and orange, light, icy, and pastels.
I am 41 and I adore multichroms on me. Would not buy a palette without it. So this ranking is kinda too boring for me... From Denona I would buy Roxa since I love violet on me)
I love you personality but cannot believe how many times you mention aging! It beats the alternative and is part of life. Embrace it and work with it instead of complaining about it.
Don't apologize for loving neutrals - this is why we are here!!! I am tired of YTers who have super crazy colorful looks (makes me think of Mimi from the Drew Carey show lol!). Keep doing what you are doing Mandy and Happy New Year. ♥ Elle
Exactly 😂😂😂
I think there aren’t near enough ppl doing colorful looks and you sound pretty disrespectful
Oh, Mandy, cool tones look absolutely stunning on you. Your skin tone is perfect for cooler tones. Cool tones with that cool toned red lipstick... chefs kiss.
Beautiful winter white with a red lip. Happy New Year.
Thank you for recognizing the smaller palettes-there are so many lovely ones. Natasha Denona has an outstanding formula that supports the purchase price, IMO. Never disappoints.

I adore the my mini dream palette! Every look I do is fantastic and so easy to do!
I agree Mandy. I am also moving to more nude shades at 44 this year. It’s hard for me to justify getting palettes that have bold blues and greens and such when I know that for my everyday makeup I just don’t do that. Never have really but even more now I am doing warm and neutral looks maybe a cool toned one every now and then.
I am LOVING the more neutral palettes. Love your top 10! Thank you. And you look absolutely GORGEOUS! 💖
I love neutrals too and the mini Dream palette is out of my absolute favorites too! I can actually get a lot of looks out of it.
You look so beautiful Mandy. Love your lip color- gorgeous. Look forward every year to this year end palette video. Wishing you & everyone who loves this channel as much as I do, a Healthy, Happy, & Peace-filled New 2025 Year‼️☮️out from Texas.

I have Aleta's thought that cool tones suit you best. Mind you, any colour combo on you looks good. 🥰🥰
All the palettes are phenomenal. Great top 10 video. I will definitely be purchasing the Natasha Denona warm and gold palettes. They are beautiful. Happy New Year Mandy!!!💝
You are gorgeous! Love the makeup you are wearing! And that lipstick on you look amazing!! Kisses from Brazil
Your lipstick is amazing! What a gorgeous shade on you!
My favorite pallet this year was the ND glam pallet ❤
Love your recommendations❤
So glad I Need A Warm made your list!
I love this palette!❤
I am so happy You Tube has decided to share your videos with me again. I haven't seen any in about a year. Wow!!
I really love the red lipstick on you. You should wear it more often.
I love the Natasha mini pallets not as painful to purchase they are really nice. Take care and stay safe. Happy New Year. ❤❤

Love your picks 😍 also love the lip shade you’re wearing!!!
Oooh Mandy! Love the bold lip! Rock on with your bad self!❤
I’ve watched you for years. You are so pretty and your comments refreshing. That being said, Natasha Denona seems to dominate here.
The makeup in this video is so perfect for you 😊
I bought the Natasha Denona INANude palette earlier this year and have been loving it!!

Seems like we're moving in the same direction, taste-wise, for eyeshadow. I think the clean makeup trend was what started it for me.
I was surprised there wasn't a Sydney Grace palette.
Maybe it’s me, but I feel like Sydney Grace didn’t release that many palettes this year, except the four season nine pans (unless Glitzy Fritzy and the wedding makeup artist’s palettes released this year, but I thought those were in 2023). I lose track of time though when it comes to when palettes release!
Thanks for the video! Love the ND mini palette. My favorite as well.
Great list! Love the smaller palettes!

@dizzieblonde2010 It really does, it's available on Elf's website now. Enjoy❣️

I've recently found you and love your videos! Here's a question - can you share where to buy your necklace? Love simple and silver and it's beautiful.
Fun video!
Would've enjoyed seeing at least one "clean" eyeshadow palette, but loved the variety of warm to neutral and different size and price points. Thank you for sharing ...
Pretty smart is made from the creator of The Balm❤.
I appreciate the neutral palettes. I’m leaning more towards neutral.
❤
Do you still do neutral-colorful looks? 😢 You are the most creative youtuber in doing those looks and they never disappoint. Are those more colorful palettes still in your collection 😂

I'm not sure about my best palette. I got 5 new palettes 4 CHRISTmas but since I've not used them yet IDK which I will end up liking most.
Natasha Denona's golden and I need to nude are very different. I am olive green neutral and lean warm. My olive green has some yellow in it. Unless I have a tan, keep anything with orange/peach in it away from me. I am muted too, I will not use the 2/3 most Yellow gold in the golden palette. The I need to nude is too cool tones for me. I look horrible in gray, and most pinks, purple, and orange, light, icy, and pastels.
You look gorgeous for some reason your lips look bigger today I love the way you did your makeup it's different but it's beautiful
Sad but no alter Ego or colourpop in Germany.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😅
I miss your Sydney Grace reviews.
I am 41 and I adore multichroms on me. Would not buy a palette without it. So this ranking is kinda too boring for me... From Denona I would buy Roxa since I love violet on me)
Pallettes? 😮
I also miss the Sydney Grace content.
I love you personality but cannot believe how many times you mention aging! It beats the alternative and is part of life. Embrace it and work with it instead of complaining about it.
Lol, you don't really like much of anything with color. 😅
