Review + Swatches: Tarte Be MATTEnificent Eye & Cheek Palette


I was a little torn about doing this review. It was a limited edition palette and it seems to be sold out everywhere. You CAN find it on Amazon, but the price is jacked up a little bit. However, I really, really love this palette so I thought it warranted a full review!


Product Rundown

Original Price: $36 USD

The palette features 6 limited edition shadows, 2 "liner" shadows, and 1 blush. All are formulated with Tarte ever-so-famous amazonian clay! The palette also comes with a dual ended brush.


My Thoughts

I adore this palette. Matte shadows are my absolute favorite to work with and these are some amazing matte shadows! The are pigmented and smooth, and blend out very, very easily. You can create such an incredible range of looks with this palette, from very simple to dramatic. My absolute favorite shade is the "rose to the occasion" shadow. It is a great alternative for typical light brown crease and transition shades.

The blush is also fabulous. I love the Amazonian Clay blushes from Tarte. The shade in the palette reminds me a lot of the "Exposed" blush that is part of the permanent collection of their Amazonian Clay blushes, but this shade is just a little more peachy. I don't really gravitate towards the "liner" shades too often, so I don't get a lot of use out of those, which is a little bit of a bummer. But overall, I love this palette. The shadows blend so well together and I can create a quick shadow look in seconds without having to blend forever and ever! And since everything in the palette in formulated with that Amazonian Clay, everything is sooo long wearing. I love not having to worry about my eyeshadow creasing or fading throughout the day!

Also, I have to mention how much I LOVE the packaging. It is absolutely stunning and is definitely one of the prettiest palettes I own! If you are interested in purchasing this product, you can find it on Amazon by clicking here.

I hope this review was helpful and I hope you have an amazing day!!

xoxo,
Paige
