Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be reviewing the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette! This palette retails at $36 and can be purchased on the Too Faced website, Ulta, and Sephora.
I purchased this palette about seven months ago and the packaging has since been revamped. You can see the new version here. Three of the shades have also been changed, which I'll get to in a mo. I'm really not a fan of the old packaging, which is still used on five of the too faced palettes. It's made out of a card board material and I find the eye on the front sort of cheap looking. It displays the shadows, but it also looks like something you'd buy off of a shady website that's based in China. It's durable and it's not bulky but it's not the prettiest. I think the new packaging is gorgeous, it's made out of metal so it will last better and it's very sleek. Definitely an improvement.
On to the shadows: The palette comes with nine shadows, three larger base colors, three crease colors, and three for the outer corner. It comes with three matte shades and six shimmery shades.
Left to right: Nude Beach, Silk Teddy, Heaven
Heaven is a great base, just a plain white shade that won't crease. I adore Silk Teddy. It's a really beautiful pinky gold shimmer color that you can just swipe when you're in a rush. It's also one of my favorite inner corner colors. Heaven and Silk Teddy are both in the updated version of the palette. I get very little use out of Nude Beach. It has big chunks of glitter in it, which fall down and get in my eye and it's just a bit of a mess. Luckily, Nude Beach was replaced by a matte camel colored shadow called 'Nude'.
Left to right: Velvet Revolver, Push-Up, Honey Pot
Velvet Revolver is a fantastic crease shade. It's also a really good shade to fill in my eyebrows. However, Velvet Revolver has been replaced by the slightly darker and slightly warmer 'Cashmere Bunny.' When using the palette, I thought what it was missing a brown shade in between Velvet Revolver and Sexpresso, which, with the addition of Nude and Cashmere Bunny, Too Faced really did. I wouldn't put it anywhere near my eyebrows though. Push-up is a pretty shade, but it's not much of a stand out. It's just not my thing. Honey Pot is probably my favorite shadow in this palette. It's incredibly pigmented, as are all of the shadows, and it is just beautiful, It's really fantastic. I would buy this palette again even if I hated every other color just for Honey Pot.
Left to right: Sexpresso, Erotica, Cocoa Puff
I probably use these colors least. They're good shadows, though Erotica and Cocoa Puff have relatively big shimmers in them , which I'm not a huge fan of. Sexpresso is my go-to outer corner shade. It's matte and simple and I love it.
Basically, It's a pretty rad palette. The shadows are incredibly pigmented, the price tag is a bit high, but definitely worth it. Too Faced Palettes are a fantastic alternative to Urban Decay palettes. They have fewer shadows the the Naked Palettes (minus Named Basics) but you get more product and it's just great. I would 100% recommend this product and would repurchase it in a heart beat, especially with new packaging and shadows.
