I would love to see a video on coordinating our makeup colors to our everyday outfits. You always seem to be so creative in choosing just the right color eyeshadows and lipsticks to what you are wearing. Thanks so much for keeping us uplifted and educating us on your makeup techniques!
I just found this channel and I'm so excited because finally someone who is over 40 and understand mature skin, but also the need to stay on top of the beauty and makeup trends.
I wish you posted everyday! I just always enjoy your personality! I have all of these except the UD Reloaded and Persona. I am repeating over and over that I do not need all 5 of your recommendations😂
I'm so glad you mentioned the Persona pallet. I have extremely sensitive eyes and not only is the quality amazing but it doesn't make my eyes burn. Absolutely love it!
I will add that I love your channel and so glad I found you ! I’m in my early 40s and my eyes are more hooded now so you have helped a lot and my makeup in general has improved since I started taking your advice on things. Great job !!!!
Risa I'm SO glad you addressed the shimmer formula in the CP Going Coconuts pallette!! Thank you! I thought I was crazy and the ONLY one that had difficulty with it! EVERYONE raves about that pallette and never says a word about the difference in formula in the shimmer shades. I had a particularly difficult time with Palm Reader. I DO love the color story, and I definitely use this pallette, but I wish the shimmer formula was a little more consistent with this one. I've never had an issue like that before with any other CP pallette I've purchased.
The CP Bare Necessities palette is absolutely exceptional. It's a larger palette but WOW. So many shadows and the formula and pigmentation is outstanding! Also love the UD Naked 3 - these two are my go tos!
I'm so grateful to have recently found you. I'll be 40 in October and recently just finding the way I've been doing my makeup just doesn't work for my skin anymore. Age isn't fun, man. And while I still love some of my (younger) 'old' you tubers, I've already found so much comfort and knowledge from you! And figuring out why my old ways don't work.
Thank you for this review. You mentioned that the Persona original was initially designed for brown-eyes women... do you consider it to be cool tones as well? Maybe consider doing a video on your favorite cool toned palettes?
Charlotte tilbury eyeshadows are so beautiful.. I personally think it’s Worth the splurge because the Quality is so good... I like the same Star Aura too 😀👍💕
I LOVE that you did pallettes for different budgets!! That's super helpful. I love this video I've looked at some of these pallettes before and wasn't sure. This definitely helped me make a decision:))
Milani has a palette called “Gilded Nude” that has made me reach less for my Biba palette. I’m obsessed with it. It has my favorite transition shades ever, blendable, flattering and long lasting. I’ve never before, been so in love with a palette. As a disclaimer, I opt for matte palettes and like to choose my shimmer toppers in singles (usually from Stila, ABH, urban decay). The Gilded Nude palette has one light glittery shade which is gorgeous, but as a palette I love it.
I just got the Urban Decay Naked Reloaded palette and need some help with some looks. I may have to go on the RUclips hunt. My favorite neutral is the Colourpop Going Coconuts!!! I bought 3 more! The only drawback is there are two shimmers that go faster than any other colors so I get stuck because they aren't in any other palette I own. Thank you for doing this Risa! I may have to try the Persona palette. I may have some wrinkles but I'm definitely wearing Going Coconuts!!!! ❤️
I've got three out of your five. I love neutrals, it's all I wear! The nabla side by side palette is definately in my top 5, together with the ELF new classics palette.
Another really helpful video, thank you. Could you do a dark dramatic eye tutorial? As we age we are told to stay w neutral, softer eyes. Dull. It would be helpful to see you do a navy or black or whatever you like dark look. Thank you.
Agree with you about the quality of Persona. I have the pink Color Theory palette. I know those aren't colors everyone loves, but I do love this one! I appreciate you sharing your shipping/delivery experiences with different companies. I am sometimes hesitant to order directly from a brand (i.e. Colourpop) because I wonder about the efficiency of the order/shipping. Thanks so much Risa. 🌞
Yes. I love that you shared this list. I always need that great go to or best. Nice that you also do high end and drugstore. Perfect.i LOVE PERSONA COSMETICS. IHAVE EVERY PRODUCT SHE Has. COLOURPOP TOO.
I love my Biba palette. I very much appreciate the great quality and the variety it provides for the aesthetic I prefer. Although it’s expensive, I reach for it over and over again. Worth the money for me!!
I have the UD Reloaded and for some reason I don't reach for it. The one I do reach for is the Too Face Chocolate Bar palette. I got it on sale at Ulta and I love it!! If it goes on sale again for Ulta's 21 days of beauty I am picking it up. My other favorite palette is the Maybelline Rooftop Bronzes. Absolutely love it. I re-purchased it many times. Also, Sona is/was a YT'er.
You’re the reason I bought the Biba palette and I Love It! (I’ve also taken a bunch of your hair product recommendations and they’ve all been awesome, too)
I just got the Tarte Juicy palette. Can’t wait to dip into it. BTW, is that a Dove Gray shade in the Biba palette? Dove gray was all the 90’s rage and I loved it, but I can’t find it anywhere now. Wish it would come back.
Hey Risa! Always love to see a new video from you! I have cool toned skin and brown/green eyes. Anything the least bit brown on my eyes makes me look tired. The only Browntone I can seem to get away with is a skin colored shimmer. Could you do a video on neutral eyeshadows for cool toned skin but also steering away from brown colors? Purples and greys look best on me but sometimes I like a more subtle everyday look and struggle with neutral colors.
Risa, I am really liking your channel . I have been learning a lot. I just have a question. I am wanting a all in 1 palette such as the instant look CT palette in rose beauty. Do you have a dupe for that? Even if I have to buy 2 or more palettes. I'm really unsure of the riggt colors for me
I'm no expert but I know you can keep an eyeshadow palette for seven years🎨 also on the back of the palette there is this little box with a jar looking image with numbers in it for example if it says 24 it will expire in two years🎨 Hope this helps you 🌻
I love the persona palette. I took the shimmer shades out of the going coconut palette and put ones I liked better because I can’t stand glitter particles. That’s probably why I haven’t bought the glam palette.
I’m trying to downsize my makeup collection as I prepare to move overseas, I’m passing on all of my crazy colored palettes to friends and looking for ONE perfect everyday do-it-all palette, and this video was PERFECT. Thank you! Subbed 🥰
I purchased persona identity palettes few months ago. I have your coloring with blue green eyes. Every video tells me it’s great for brown eyes. I am hesitant to try it for that reason I am an 65 year old eyeshadow virgin. Lol. Can you tell me which shades I can try for an every day work look. Thank you! I
Great choices! I love Natasha. I don't have the color pop one....what do you think of MakeUpGeek's neutrals? I just got the whole giant palette...haven't put it together yet.
Great palettes Risa :-)) Yes we do need our Neutral Palettes some days :-)) Im up at just about 5am in the morning and its still dark, so I'm putting on my Neutral cos i can't see at that time in the morning going to work ha ha oxoxo
Thanks Risa! I need to check out some things from Persona. I haven’t heard much about the brand at all. If you love it, I’m pretty sure that I will too. 😊
Hi Risa! Always a pleasure to watch you. Have you tried the new Lorac Noir and Soleil palettes? They are so fantastic I just got the 2 of them and I think of you when I wear them :-) I think you would love those beautiful neutrals with glam sparkly shimmers. Better than my ND Bronze and Glam in my opinion... They changed the formula and it is top notch.
Great video! I 100% agree with the Going Coconuts palette! When I don't have time to think it's my go to! I also think the Natasha Denona Glam palette is a perfect neutral palette as well.Thanks for sharing!
Ohhhh. Love your selection! You always give so much content to every product. But- why naked reloaded and not too faced born this way ? Different formulation? One better? Too faced too warm?
What about the eye color? The shape of the eye? I have dark brown eyes and can wear cool and warm colors. I want a eye palette to make my eyes pop! What do you recommend?
I’m not a neutrals kinda girl...LOL I’m all about color! But I’m definitely going to watch as I’m curious as what your favorites are. :) I’m only the first minute in and I love your look in the video. My everyday palettes would be the following: -Natasha Denona Metropolis (and it’s dupe sister Artemis from Alter Ego...so I can keep Metropolis a little while longer) -Urban Decay On The Run -BH cosmetics Naughty -Elf Retro Paradise -Natasha Denona 28 pan green brown palette (this is by far my priciest palette and definitely my most neutral but omg the gorgeous blues and greens in this one are stunning!)
Risa, I am a Woman of Color / Latina with hooded eyes. I wear shade 8 warm in Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Foundation. I have enjoyed your videos so far after recently discovering you. Do you think that your tutorials are compatible for me as well? Just curious. Thanks!
I would love to see a video on coordinating our makeup colors to our everyday outfits. You always seem to be so creative in choosing just the right color eyeshadows and lipsticks to what you are wearing. Thanks so much for keeping us uplifted and educating us on your makeup techniques!

I love the going coconuts palette! It’s my favorite neutral palette.
Hope you do some tutorials with these pallets. I am not good at doing my eyeshadow without watching you. Lol
Good selection of palettes. FYI, I just turned 70, and have wrinkly eyelids. Do I wear shimmers? Oh, yes...yes I do!! :)
I find everyone says don’t wear shimmer on the lids if you have wrinkles, until they get wrinkles!
I'm so glad you mentioned the Persona pallet. I have extremely sensitive eyes and not only is the quality amazing but it doesn't make my eyes burn. Absolutely love it!
I LOVE Going Coconuts especially the center shade!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I will add that I love your channel and so glad I found you ! I’m in my early 40s and my eyes are more hooded now so you have helped a lot and my makeup in general has improved since I started taking your advice on things. Great job !!!!

I scraped off the palm reader glitter shade, it drove me nuts 😂.
@@juliel8124 right??!!! Omg that shade is nearly useless! 😂😂😂😂
The CP Bare Necessities palette is absolutely exceptional. It's a larger palette but WOW. So many shadows and the formula and pigmentation is outstanding! Also love the UD Naked 3 - these two are my go tos!

Thank you for this review. You mentioned that the Persona original was initially designed for brown-eyes women... do you consider it to be cool tones as well? Maybe consider doing a video on your favorite cool toned palettes?
I thought the same. I was curious what she thought of Taupe and Stone Cold from colour pop.
Hi! Do you have any recommendations for a good dupe for the Charlotte tilbury star aura palette? Or do you feel it’s worth the splurge?
Tom Ford Quads... beautiful shadow but way more expensive!
Charlotte tilbury eyeshadows are so beautiful..
I personally think it’s Worth the splurge because the Quality is so good... I like the same Star Aura too 😀👍💕

Beautiful Risa💗 love these videos 💖 Have a amazing day🥰
Best cool matte palette? Thx
I think Risa loves warm tones!! ❤️
Great pallets!
I have got the Naked Reloaded
Yes! CP Going Coconuts palette is holy grail status for me! 🙌🏻
I always come here for color recommendations because I prefer the same warm tones!
Thanks for info. Never heard of Persona but that palette looks like a must for this Brown eye girl.
I have the CP Coconut palette and I love it ( even with my old eyelids!) I love your videos Risa!
I wanted to you for recommending the new covergirl foundation. I love it
Thanks for the great recommendations.
I, with dark brown eyes, do like Persona's palette. But oh my how I adore the Biba palette. It's that it's so well curated.
I just got the Urban Decay Naked Reloaded palette and need some help with some looks. I may have to go on the RUclips hunt. My favorite neutral is the Colourpop Going Coconuts!!! I bought 3 more! The only drawback is there are two shimmers that go faster than any other colors so I get stuck because they aren't in any other palette I own. Thank you for doing this Risa! I may have to try the Persona palette. I may have some wrinkles but I'm definitely wearing Going Coconuts!!!! ❤️
I was thrilled to get that Naked Reloaded palette for half price. Well worth it for $22! The Persona Identity palette is on my wishlist.
can you please do a video on which natasha denona mini palettes are good and which one we should skip?
You have some great recommendations but I would put the ND Glam palette rather than the Biba. I prefer cool tones & it is also cheaper.
Hi Risa, I don't have oily lids or oily skin. I am very dry. Doesn't a lid or face primer also help keep makeup stay on longer?
Risa u look so great 🤗
Risa i would love if you could try Technic's makeup! It's so affordable and I would love to hear youre opinion ❤️
Look at all those views! I'm soooo happy for you! xxoo
I just used the Persona palette for the first time today. I loved it. It is my new favorite everyday eyeshadow
Your makeup is very beautiful!!!
Enjoyed your reviews of the pallets. What do you recommend for cool neutrals?? I really like the mat greys, purples, greens, pinks. Thanks!!!
CP Going coconuts, that’s taupe and ND glam are my favorites- still using the UD Naked 2 that’s no longer available also 🙂💛
Have you tried the Kaja Bento eyeshadows? They are a holy grail for me, esp Chocolate Dahlia. They come in mattes and simmers or just shimmers
Hi Stephanie! Yep, I actually mentioned them in the “Underrated Makeup Products” video I put up recently! They are great! 😃👍🏻
I ordered this going for coconuts too during their sale. I’m excited to get a neutral palette. Great video of neutrals 🙂
Great recap, really intrigued by the Persona one, will get it ASAP!
I've got three out of your five. I love neutrals, it's all I wear! The nabla side by side palette is definately in my top 5, together with the ELF new classics palette.
Hello from Singapore! Love all your vids! You’re so pretty.
How about the Mary Kay line of shadows?
Another really helpful video, thank you. Could you do a dark dramatic eye tutorial? As we age we are told to stay w neutral, softer eyes. Dull. It would be helpful to see you do a navy or black or whatever you like dark look. Thank you.
Biba is my #1.
Also love nudes of New York and going coconuts. You name so many of my favourites in this video!

Yes. I love that you shared this list. I always need that great go to or best. Nice that you also do high end and drugstore. Perfect.i LOVE PERSONA COSMETICS. IHAVE EVERY PRODUCT SHE Has. COLOURPOP TOO.
We LOVE this video idea!✨ We love ColourPop Nude Mood and Blush Crush!! We did a favorites on it! ✨👍🏻✨
Love that video!! Very useful, as I’m all about neutral palettes. Thanks!!
What is on your eyes in this video? I just got the going coconuts for Christmas, so excited to try it
I love my Biba palette. I very much appreciate the great quality and the variety it provides for the aesthetic I prefer. Although it’s expensive, I reach for it over and over again. Worth the money for me!!
I have 2 of these Palette and I love them too! Thank you
Thank you for your recommendations

Thank for sharing yours favorites palette !
Thanks Risa!! For someone who might not like the “warm” tones of the Natasha Denona Biba pallet, how about the cool tones in the Glam pallet?
That would be a great choice! 😃👍🏻
I just got the Tarte Juicy palette. Can’t wait to dip into it. BTW, is that a Dove Gray shade in the Biba palette? Dove gray was all the 90’s rage and I loved it, but I can’t find it anywhere now. Wish it would come back.
Excellent suggestions! Thank you Risa 💖
Love you! So well described !
U chose really great palettes for ur top 5 neutrals... 💕💕
Thanks Risa! Great video!

Hi risa l am a new subscriber but already am hooked i am trying to get your nail polish ? Thanks carol from montreal canada
Hi! It’s from LA Colors and it’s called Champagne Sapphire.
Finally bought that Persona pallet a few months ago and......😍!
Excellent review as always!💖💖💖
Risa love your videos. My question is how long should you keep an eye palette. It's hard for me to let them go. Thank you
I'm no expert but I know you can keep an eyeshadow palette for seven years🎨 also on the back of the palette there is this little box with a jar looking image with numbers in it for example if it says 24 it will expire in two years🎨 Hope this helps you 🌻

Love ur videos so fun watching
I love the sons palette. Live that there are 6 matte and 6 shimmer
Have you tried the Snatural palette by Scott Barnes? If so, what do you think about it?
Hi Risa! Always a pleasure to watch you. Have you tried the new Lorac Noir and Soleil palettes? They are so fantastic I just got the 2 of them and I think of you when I wear them :-) I think you would love those beautiful neutrals with glam sparkly shimmers.

A great video..thank you xx
Persona Identity is my go to!
Can u tell me what shades you like for everyday look. I have never applied eyeshadow. Lol
Hi Risa. I have grey eyes. Not the same as blue eyes. Can't use browns because they make me look tired. Any recommendations?
Love this video 😊
Great video! I 100% agree with the Going Coconuts palette! When I don't have time to think it's my go to! I also think the Natasha Denona Glam palette is a perfect neutral palette as well.Thanks for sharing!
Ohhhh. Love your selection! You always give so much content to every product. But- why naked reloaded and not too faced born this way ? Different formulation? One better? Too faced too warm?
But what about the Taupe palette by colour pop. For us cool toned girls?
I don’t own that one so I can’t say.
What about the eye color? The shape of the eye? I have dark brown eyes and can wear cool and warm colors.
I want a eye palette to make my eyes pop! What do you recommend?
ELF Bite Size Minis in Rosewater ♥️
That’s a good one! I’m saving it for an upcoming favorite “mini” palettes video!
I’m not a neutrals kinda girl...LOL I’m all about color! But I’m definitely going to watch as I’m curious as what your favorites are. :) I’m only the first minute in and I love your look in the video.
My everyday palettes would be the following:
-Natasha Denona Metropolis (and it’s dupe sister Artemis from Alter Ego...so I can keep Metropolis a little while longer)
-Urban Decay On The Run
-BH cosmetics Naughty
-Elf Retro Paradise
-Natasha Denona 28 pan green brown palette (this is by far my priciest palette and definitely my most neutral but omg the gorgeous blues and greens in this one are stunning!)
Those are excellent choices!
How do you feel about Surratt eye shadows in general?
I’ve honestly never tried them.
Could you please note if the eyeshadows are warm or cool toned?
Hi I was wondering if the persona palette is available anywhere else other then at ulta? I'm canadian and ulta doesn't send here😔
I just looked on the Persona site, as I am in Australia, & noticed they ship to Canada. Hope that helps 😊
thanks for vid pretty lady. be safe
I’d like to see more eyeshadow tutorials
Risa, I am a Woman of Color / Latina with hooded eyes. I wear shade 8 warm in Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Foundation. I have enjoyed your videos so far after recently discovering you. Do you think that your tutorials are compatible for me as well? Just curious. Thanks!
Looking for a good Palette with colors to enhance Hazel eyes?
Persona Identity is my favorite formula & it is the one palette I would always want to have in my collection. 😬
