Hi guys!
Today I will be giving my thoughts on the Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette. This palette was really hyped about in the YouTube and blogging community and a few months ago I finally caved in and purchased it. As I’ve had it for a quite a while I’m able to give you an honest opinion as I have been able to use it and not just swatch it on my hand and assume what the blendibility and longevity of the product is like.
Right starting of with the packaging. I know older versions of this palette came in cardboard packaging but I have mine in the new tin packaging as I got it a few months ago. It has a magnetic closure which I’m not a huge fan of as I wouldn’t feel comfortable travelling with it. Also, a lot of people rave about how cute the packaging is but it just doesn’t appeal to me that much. It looks ok I mean it’s not an eye sore but it doesn’t stand out to me. This is the reason I haven’t used it regularly in the past 5 months of owning the palette and always choose a different palette instead.
Now the packaging isn’t everything right? Let’s talk about the shadows inside.
On the back of the palette Too Faced state “Flount your natural side with a look that appears so effortless you can wear it before breakfast or after dark. Our palette of nine richly-pigmented shadows pair perfectly, blend beautifully and stay put longer than your last boyfriend. It’s a collection so natural; you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it”. So upon reading that I was expecting super pigmented shades that were buttery and smooth just like the shadows in the chocolate bar palettes by the same brand.
The eyeshadows look beautiful in the palette don’t they? Some shades are not as warm as I’d like but nevertheless beautiful. You can immediately imagine the looks you can create in your head, definitely natural day time looks but there’s rich deep browns to do a smokey eye. You have a great highlight, a decent transition shade, a few good lid shades and some crease shades, everything you need!
Now let’s go through each shade with my thoughts on the colour, pigmentation and texture.
HEAVEN 
Heaven is a matte creamy bone shade. I use this as a base colour all over my eye before I apply any eyeshadow. I also use it as a brow bone highlight or inner corner highlight for an all matte look. This shade is pigmented but I find it to be rather patchy when I swatch it as well as when I apply it to my eye. It also feels and looks chalky. I give this shade 6/10.
CASHMERE BUNNY 
Cashmere bunny is a taupey brown almost matte shade with a hint of grey in it. I use this as a transition/crease shade. This leans quite cool toned on me and does not suit my warm complexion quite as well as some of the other shades in the palette. Having said that, I do find it doesn’t show up on my skin tone unless I really pack on the colour. I still think it’s a gorgeous colour and wish it worked for me. I give this shade 6/10.
SEXSPRESSO 
Sexspresso is a lovely rich deep chocolate brown matte shade. I use this to deepen my crease or in my outer v and to smoke out my upper and lower lash lines. It’s definitely one of the more smoother mattes in the palette and has good pigmentation. It takes a bit more work to blend but looks beautiful on the eye. I give this shade 9/10.
SILK TEDDY
Silk Teddy is a gorgeous peachy satin shimmer shade. I wear it as an all over lid colour but it is light enough to be used as a brow bone or inner corner highlight. It is super pigmented and buttery and blends effortlessly and looks stunning. It’s definitely one of my favourites and most used shade out of the entire palette. I give this shade 10/10.
PUSH UP 
To me Push Up is a very interesting shade. It’s a light coppery bronze shimmer shade but some may describe it more as a rose gold as in some lights this is how it appears. However you describe it one word always comes to mind; stunning! I use this as another all over the lid colour. Another decently pigmented and buttery shadow and it’s up there in my top 3 shadows from the palette as it blends so easily. I give this shade 9/10.
EROTICA 
Erotica is another chocolate brown with gold sparkles. If it weren’t for the sparkles I would have enjoyed using this to deepen my crease as I’m not a fan of glittery crease shades. It can be used as an all over lid colour for a party look but the sparkles lack consistency. Not a favourite shade of mine. I give it 4/10.
NUDIE 
Nudie is a slightly more cooler toned light taupe brown matte. I use this shadow as another transition shade but again it doesn’t suit me as well as the others and I struggle to get it to show on my skin tone. I give this shade 5/10.
HONEY POT 
Honey Pot is a yellow gold shimmer shade with a hint of bronze and it is absolutely amazing. A really good shade for all over the lid and it really stands out because it is so highly pigmented and shimmery! It can be worn during the day as a light wash of colour across the kids or it can really be built up for a night out or special occasion. Really buttery and blendable. The only issue I have is I find a yellow gold shade doesn’t quite go with my eyes as much as a lighter white gold shade so I often layer it over a white base to soften it up. I give this shade a 9/10.
CHOCOLATE MARTINI 
Chocolate Martini is another beautiful matte rich chocolate brown with chunks of gold glitter. The chunky glitter isn’t necessarily a bad thing and actually looks quite awesome when tapped on the lid with your finger and blended out with a lighter brown as a transition shade. It also looks good on the lower lash line. Again this shade is pigmented and buttery however I did experience some fall out when using this. I give this shade 8/10.
Here are all the shades swatched together on my arm.
From the swatches above you can really see which shades are pigmented and those that barely show up.
Overall I think this palette is ok. It’s not the best out of my collection but I think you can create some nice looks with it and it is a good neutral palette even if it lacks some warmer colours. However, I don’t think it’s worth the price as there as some shades that lack the quality other Too Faced products possess. I think if you are going to invest in a high end palette from Too Faced save your pennies and go for the chocolate bar; it’s better quality and the shades are so much more smoother.
I hope you enjoy your day.
See you soon!
