Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette review



Too Faced recently gave the packaging of this palette a re-vamp and in Debenhams it was 10% off so I thought this was the perfect excuse to buy it! I've been testing it out for over a month now so I thought a review was probably due.


(Apologies for the messy state of this palette!)
As you can tell from the above photo, the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette comes with 9 shades. There are 4 mattes, 3 shimmers and 2 mattes with glitter. The shades are divided into three rows: Day, Classic and Night, making it easy to create looks.

Day - Heaven, Cashmere Bunny and Espresso

One thing I love about this palette is that there are enough mattes to create a whole look out of. Heaven is a creamy white (matte), Cashmere Bunny is a mid-toned brown (matte) and Espresso is a darker cool-toned brown (matte). These shades are all really pigmented and are great for an everyday look.

Classic - Silk Teddy, Push Up and Erotica
This is probably my favourite row. Silk Teddy is a champagne pink (shimmer), Push Up is a beautiful rose-gold bronze copper (shimmer) and Erotica is a dark cool-toned brown (matte with glitter) usually shades with this finish are quite dry and hard to work with but although Erotica is one of the drier shades in the palette it is still pigmented and easy to work with.

Fashion - Nudie, Honey Pot and Chocolate Martini
Nudie is a light brown (matte), Honey Pot is a neutral gold (shimmer) and Chocolate Martini is a dark warm-toned brown (matte with glitter).

This palette comes in a box with metal packaging and a magnetic closure. It also includes a handy guide as to how each of the shadows in the different rows can be used.

The pigmentation of all the shades is really great and they are all easy to blend and last well on the lids. The compact size of the packaging makes it great for travel and easy to slip in your makeup bag. I think the fact that nearly half of the shadows are mattes is a real plus point and really adds to the versatility of this palette. Mattes are notoriously hard to get right but these are all consistently easy to work with.

My only criticism would be the varying size of the eyeshadows. The smaller ones are 0.9g and the larger ones are 2g. For me personally this isn't an issue because I probably do use the bigger shadows more but this may be a problem if you get less use out of them.

My favourite look to do with this palette is Push Up all over the lid, with Nudie and Cashmere Bunny in the crease, Heaven as a highlight and Sexpresso on the upper lash line.

Overall I think this product is well worth the £32 price tag, the quality of the shadows is excellent and I'm sure I will get lots of use out of it particularly when travelling.

Have you tried this palette?

Thank you for reading!
