Natasha Denona Calla, Peony, Daphne Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Calla (12.5NB)

Natasha Denona Calla (12.5NB) I Need a Nude Lipstick ($25.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium pinkish-coral with moderate, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had opaque color coverage paired with a creamy, slightly dense consistency that had light tackiness once applied to my lips, which helped it adhere evenly and stay in place better for the four and a half hours it lasted for. The formula felt hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview

$25.00/0.14 oz. - $178.57 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to "lightweight" with a "creamy" texture and a "softly luminous finish" that feels "deeply hydrating." There was no reference to coverage, but the promotional swatches showed opaque coverage.

The range is broken up into four undertones: Beige (suits neutral, warm, red skin tones), Neutral Beige (suits all skin tones), Neutral Pink (suits all skin tones), and Pink (suits warm and yellow skin tones). The shades also range from very light to deep so that there's one that will "flatter each and every skin tone."

They are pigmented with semi-opaque to opaque coverage in a single layer, and the majority of the shades applied evenly to my lips. They have a denser, more velvety formula that had some creaminess to them without feeling traditionally wet or emollient. The formula has satin-to-cream finish that wears down to a semi-matte finish within two to three hours or can be quickly blotted down if preferred.

I noticed that most shades had a bit of product that sank into my deeper lip lines with it often not being noticeable in person, just in the close-up photos, but lighter shades were more likely to be visible in person as well as in the close-up photos. They wore between four and six hours, were lightly hydrating to non-drying, and wore away evenly. The formula has a fairly strong, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Peony (20P)

Natasha Denona Peony (20P) I Need a Nude Lipstick ($25.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a brighter, medium pinkish-coral with moderate, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff that adhered evenly to my lips and didn’t emphasize my lip lines. The lipstick had a creamy consistency that was somewhat denser in the tube but melted slightly against the warmth of my lips. It wore well for four and a half hours and felt moisturizing over time.

Daphne (20.5P)

Natasha Denona Daphne (20.5P) I Need a Nude Lipstick ($25.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium pink with warmer undertones and a cream finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly to my lips but was a little more prone to emphasizing lip texture compared to other shades in the range. The texture was lightweight, emollient with light slip initially but developed a touch of tackiness that helped it stay on better. This shade lasted well for four hours and felt moisturizing while worn.
