Too Faced Natural Matte palette: Swatches and First Impressions

Hi everyone,

Too Faced recently release an all matte palette and while I am still playing with it, I want to show you some swatches. It is an Ulta exclusive and available online only at the moment for $36 ulta.com

The palette: 




The how-to guide is covering a mirror :) 


As you can see the top row is the same as the top row from the Natural Eyes Collection. I don't own that palette but this is something to consider if you are considering getting this one.  

The Swatches: 


Swatches were done without primer on my NC42 skin and all pictures were taken with natural lighting.  


From top to bottom and left to right 
Row 1: Heaven, Cashmere Bunny, Sexpresso
Row 2: Lace Teddy, Strapless, Risqué 
Row 4: Nude, Honey Butter, Chocolate Cookie 


Different angle

First Impressions: 


I've only used the palette a couple of days but I am really enjoying this palette so far. The shadows are excellent quality, they are buttery and the blend like a dream. The only one that does not show up on my skin is Nude, but I've been using it to blend out the edges of other shadows and it has been great for that. 

Most will want to compare this to other all matte palettes. I did not buy the recent Tarte Tertelette palette so I can't tell you how the two compare but I did find similar shades in the Chocolate Bar palette as well as in the A Few of My Favorite Things and Everything Nice Palettes. 

Dupes
Sexpresso is similar to Dark Chocolate (A Few of My Favorite Things)
Strapless is similar to Salted Caramel (Chocolate Bar)
** check back tomorrow for side by side comparisons 

The rest are similar in tone but different enough to justify getting the Natural Matte for me. 

I will have looks with this palette coming this week :) In the meantime, let me know if you have any questions. 




** There are NO affiliate links and I purchased everything with my own money. Ulta and Too Faced have no clue who I am, so no this is not a sponsored post.
