Elegant Eyeshadows

Hi everyone!

Recently I decided to splurge on a Too Faced eyeshadow kit that I absolutely fell in love with when I was out shopping.

Too Faced Natural Eyes palette that retails for $36 and is definitely worth more than just that much. The amount of compliments I've received when wearing this eyeshadow is ridiculous.

It blends flawlessly, fallout is minimal, the colors are well pigmented so they show up well on darker skin tones and with the primer, it literally does stay on all day. 
Probably the best neutral palette I own.



The way this works is that each horizontal row is intended to be a single "look". The largest shadow is filled in on the entire lid and used as a highlight, the second one covers the first half of the lid and the darkest shade is blended into the end. I find that Nude Beach has the most fallout and looks incredibly dramatic and far more glittery when applied with fingertips instead of a brush. 

You can pull little cards out of the lid to learn where to apply which colors.
None of these colors are too dark to be worn during the day but they are buildable enough that they can be used easily when going out at night. Too Faced did also release a nighttime palette with darker versions of these same essential colors, however I have yet to give that one a try and probably won't because I'm not a fan of very dark eyeshadow.
Although this palette is intended for brown eyes I think it would look great with green, hazel and perhaps grey eyes as well. There are a few shades that could benefit you if you have blue eyes but it's probably not worth the investment in that case. 
These follow the order of the palette, keep in mind the picture is a bit diagonal.
They don't show up perfectly on the back of my hand but with a good primer, I promise they'll work perfectly on your lids.
The original primer with no shimmer. I highly recommend buying this one because a matte primer with an even base will make all your eyeshadows stand out well. The shimmery ones interfere with the color of your eyeshadows sometimes. 

If you have brown or green eyes, this is a staple for your makeup collection and it is well worth the money. If not, there are palettes for every eye color and I highly recommend checking out the one for your eye color. Too Faced eyeshadows are in my opinion, the best in the market. Even better than Urban Decay. 



What's your favorite eyeshadow brand? Have you tried Too Faced?
