Too Faced Natural Face Palette Review
The Too Faced Natural Face Palette boasts elegant and classy packaging. It features a generous-sized mirror, two highlighters, two blushes, and two bronzers. The palette is priced at $44 USD or $54 CAD, offering a decent value considering the included products.
While marketed as 'natural,' the highlighters possess an iridescent shift that may not suit everyone's definition of natural makeup. The blushes are intensely pigmented, requiring a light hand and a fluffy brush for seamless application. Careful blending is essential to prevent heavy application.
The bronzers are the most disappointing aspect. The lighter shade is too light for medium to tan skin tones and the darker bronzer's sheen detracts from its natural appearance. The bronzers lack the matte finish preferred for a natural, sun-kissed effect.
Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette Review
The Natural Eyes palette shares the same luxurious packaging as the face palette. It includes nine eyeshadow shades – four mattes and five shimmers. The price point is $38 USD or $48 CAD, making it a competitive option in the market.
The matte shades offer consistent pigmentation and blend well, though minimal fallout is present. The shimmers, however, display some inconsistency. While generally pretty, the darker shimmers require more effort to blend flawlessly.
A unique embossed lace pattern on the shadows is aesthetically pleasing, but its practicality for long-term use is questionable. This design element might contribute to product breakdown, similar to the experience with the Too Faced Sweet Peach blush.
Too Faced Natural Nudes Lipsticks Review
The Natural Nudes lipsticks are the standout products of the collection. The packaging maintains the elegant design consistent with the rest of the line, featuring a lace detailing on the cap. The lipsticks deliver excellent pigmentation and longevity.
The reviewer tested two shades – Pout About It (darker) and Birthday Suit (lighter). Even the lighter shade provides sufficient pigmentation to show through darker lip pigments. The formula is long-lasting, exceeding expectations for a non-stain lipstick.
The elegant packaging and excellent formula make these lipsticks a worthwhile purchase. The vibrant colors and lasting power make them stand out from other nude lipstick options.
Overall Conclusion
The Too Faced Natural Collection offers a mixed bag. The lipsticks are undoubtedly the highlight, providing excellent quality and a beautiful aesthetic. The eyeshadow palette is decent with consistent matte shades but slightly inconsistent shimmers.
The face palette is the most underwhelming, with disappointing bronzers and highlighters that don’t align with the 'natural' concept. While the blushes are nicely pigmented, they're not enough to salvage the palette’s shortcomings.
Ultimately, the collection's success depends on individual preferences. The lipsticks are highly recommended, while the eyeshadow and face palettes deserve more careful consideration based on the specific needs and preferences of the consumer.
