TOO FACED BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE PALETTE! IS TOO FACED MAKING A COMEBACK? | 3 LOOKS

[@eligefashion]

I finally got this palette and I am IN LOVE with the formula, the three pop shades in this palette are gorgeous if you actually use them correctly, this is such a fantastic warm neutral brown palette ❤

[@shalinironcato5262]

Their new sunset strip palette is so good. The shimmers are a completely different formula then these tin pallets and I don’t know why they don’t use it for everything. I can’t stop using the sunset strip palette, surprisingly it’s my favorite of the year!

[@rebelprynsez24]

Beautiful look regardless of your disappointing results. I for one prefer using a setting spray when applying "pop-up" shades; TF is not the only brand I need the wet brush for--other brands have beautiful bright shade but usually a powder mess😄 Setting spray is always my safest bet😉😊

[@Kimbyroseh]

Too faced, I always love their palettes. Their mattes always perform very well. Their shimmers, however, usually there’s a dud or two in each palette.. so maybe Sugar Rush is the dud in this palette. Try the shade, I’m the Dessert, it’s a beautiful shade! I tried that shimmer on the lid the first time I used this palette and I love it so much that looks can’t make myself use any other shimmer! Lol!

[@footyfan101ful]

Use a setting spray with the shimmers.

[@carolynhutchin8984]

The last Too Faced palettes I bought are the Born This Way palettes, which of course I don't need but they're lovely lightweight neutral palettes. I really like their matte formula and they're perfect for everyday but I do think their shimmers are a little lack lustre. Neutral palettes with a couple of pops of colour are my jam but I feel like Too Faced is expensive enough that they should be able to nail their formulas. There are cheaper brands with more impact and they've been around long enough to have had the time to perfect their products.

[@prophetess.cassandra]

Use them wet with setting spray! That solves every problem.

[@carolynhutchin8984]

@@prophetess.cassandra we shouldn't have to for their price point though. Like, if you've already got it, sure, apply with fingers or use a wet brush but why buy it when you can get much better quality shadows at the same price or less? I just feel like TF have been around long enough to have perfected their formulas by now. They're pretty but not worth the money or effort.

[@prophetess.cassandra]

@@carolynhutchin8984 Even my most pigmented and foiled eyeshadows perform better wet, that’s just what I prefer.

[@carolynhutchin8984]

@@prophetess.cassandra oh absolutely, I get that. I just mean that if you want to put in less effort, at that price point you should be able to.

[@cherylb_88]

Everyone says the born this way palettes are their best quality. I haven’t ever owned any of their palettes in the tin packaging but it seems way too expensive for what you get. For that price you shouldn’t have to wet them for them to perform when you could just buy a Natasha Denona palette with great quality and not to have to wet your brush once or get any fall out. That’s just my opinion.

[@bigeneingers]

I think you do a really good job at testing out palettes. When you don’t like a color, you give reasons, not emotions, why it’s not working for you. And you do a good job of combining very unusual colors. Thank you.

[@lorylopez3667]

I used to love too faced palettes but they are all so similar. I got the last one but I don’t even reach for it at all. The formula doesn’t even excite me. I may have used it a hands full of times only. I seen this palette in person but even so I didn’t get that wow effect. I swatched it too and even then I’m like no I’m good. All eyeshadow haven’t been giving me that wow factor. Only 1 did and that’s the Patrick Ta new palette but not to the point that I feel the need to wanna pay that much for it. The only products that gives me butterflies in my stomach and feel the need to have it is blushes & highlighters and bronzers lol!

[@mrshedinism]

Ohhh I almost bought this- mainly bc the last time I bought a too faced pallets was 6 years ago with Peach and I was so in love- was kinda hoping for that again! But honestly now I get the charlotte tilbury holiday pallet every year and nothing compares for me

[@toko_ribbon]

I think one big problem with too faced is since the makeup industry blew up, so many other options are available at same price point. Their OG customers grew up and moved on to CT, PMGL, ND, etc. Meanwhile, Etude (Korean brand) is basically a copy of old too faced but at 50% of the price which has lured in the tweens/teens who can’t afford 50-80$ but can at the 20-40$ the Korean and Chinese brands sell for. It’s left too faced without a real base and without any changes or innovations, they are just going thru the motions.

[@margarita131188]

I couldn't agree more. In my 20s I used to be a huge Too Faced fan. I almost used their products exclusively. I used to have around 20 palettes of them. Now I have kept 4 (sweet peach, chocolate gold, natural eyes and Boudoir eyes). Mostly for nostalgic reasons. I haven't bought from them since 2019 .Now in my 30s I am a huge fan of Pat Mcgrath and Natasha denona. Their quality and shades cannot be compared.

[@exomake_mehorololo]

I really wouldn't call Etude House a copy of TF. They hardly have anything in common other than both releasing make up. Completely different esthetic, packaging, product lines, colour stories, quality.... Etude House always stays on trend and regularly releases colour stories or new products that get imitated by others.

I must say I was very pleased with the gingerbread extra palette.

[@janearcher3834]

Patty, thank you for doing this review and saving us from having to purchase this to come to the same conclusion you came to. I agree completely about these winter palettes Too Faced has been putting out for years. Last year I went ahead and got the Gingerbread palette, but it was the same old story as there previous winter palettes. Too many of the same colors, too warm with no more neutral colors (I can't really wear the terracotta colors), and the pops of color were a disappointment. However, Too Faced has come out with too of my favorite palettes in the past few years. The Born This Way The Natural Nudes, and the Born This Way Sunset Stripped. Both of those palettes are gorgeous. Stunning. Again, thank you lovely lady for doing these reviews for us. 💕

[@silviagialluisi488]

È bellissima questa palette e tu sei stata superlativa 🥰

[@Sandycvgx]

This palette attracts me a lot, but I'll wait to see it in store. I think the brand is a little bit overwhelmed by all the competition on the market. An 18 pans palette with "basic" shades makes no sense since we pretty much have all of them already, and it's a shame they didn't change the formula. Thank you for your honest review, as always! Much love Patty 🥰

[@isselyndiaz]

I just love the packaging 😍

[@xdatgirlnayx]

Ugh I’m still going to pick this up even if there’s some shades that look repetitive 🤦‍♀️ 😂

Patty you are the best! I so appreciate your candor! Go you!

[@tanyacastellanos1432]

Thank you for such an in depth and genuine review. I would try this palette out using a different eyeshadow primer. Drawing from experience, I purchased the ColourPop “Twist of Slate” and used the urban decay primer potion but was not impressed with the pigment especially because ColourPop shadows are usually very pigmented but on a different occasion I used the Rare Beauty eyeshadow primer with the same palette and immediately noticed a huge difference. Might be worth a shot 😊

[@monicapickens4408]

LOVE ALL THE LOOKS VERY PRETTY !

[@patriciaporter8734]

The third look is beautiful ♥️

[@EssenceEtienne]

I love how informative your videos are

[@0804reba]

The Peach palette has alot of these colors. Some Natasha Denona shadows need to be dampened to use as well. Here's a challenge for you ... Don't mention Pat McGrath for at least 2 videos. If she does another "Rose" palette I'm going to scream!!!

[@chrissymoss514]

Two Faced and UD are both sticking to bygone colour stories and formulas. In any business, there is a need to keep moving forward and to stay ahead of any trends. Sadly, Two Faced hasn't done either of these and they're fast becoming irrelevant. Why is this palette - a) 18 shades and b) $54? It is totally beyond me!! It could easily have been an eight pan palette retailing for $30. That said, I still would've bought it. Well Patty, you really tried was this one and the looks weren't "terrible" at all, because of the rubbish formula, they just weren't great. Lots of love 💜❣💜❣💜❣💜

[@ViolaBoyd-z4f]

Their Cold Smolder mini palette is a great cool-toned option! Sigma also came out with a "Cool Neutrals" palette

[@krisushi1]

Dear Patty, when you first swatched the shades, they looked quite different to what I saw in the palette. Yet, when you used them, they did seem to morph together without much difference. You're right, technology has moved along and I got terribly upset earlier this year when I had to buy a setting spray for the first time ever, which we shouldn't have to do, just to keep two different shadows from falling from my lids.🇦🇺💖🕊

[@calypsosonora4159]

Same thing happened to me I was excited to use the blue shade called “bless your tart” but I’m so disappointed.

[@Marypat9990]

Thanks for this Patty. I was on the fence about this but now I see the colors and I agree. I am used to having highly pigmented palettes, so I don’t like ones that don’t have them. I will pass on this.

[@PM-xj5fp]

The issue I have with two faced is u can barely see the shimmer colours after applying on the lid. I have an issue with a few of their palettes for that reason. Their packaging is always beautiful although

[@meitalkabeli509]

Thanks for doing the looks. This palette reminds me of the original chocolate bar mixed with the Semi Sweet one, a lot of the darker brown colors in this palette look very similar to each other. I like the third look. This is a pass for me.

[@maquifrikis]

I see this palette and I have all the Gingerbreads, Peach, Semisweet... I think is a new version of the Semisweet (almost 8 years ago) and yes, it's exactly the same formula as always. The best eyeshadow formula of Too Faced is the Born This Way 1 and 2 formula. It's so good!!! But Christmas palettes and all of this are trash nowadays for the price. Same as ColourPop as you said... So sad they don't improve, like Urban Decay... :( Thanks to you I'm going to be strong and don't buy it, I love chocolate and brown color stories but I don't need this in my life. I prefer save money and buy the new Natasha's this autumn. Thank you, I LOVE your videos so much 😘😘😘

[@melanybel5693]

I was interested too but looking at your swatches, it looked so monochromatic compared to what’s on the pan, and for a 18 shades palette!! For a similar price point, ABH is sooo much better.

[@zeldaemmerick5460]

Mmmm was very excited at first but now I do not know. I need to decide ABH Nouveaux or TF Better than Chocolate 🤔

[@binderkim]

Thank you for your review.

[@vanessaebony529]

Thanks Patty! I actually got it with an ulta coupon for platinum members. Too Faced was the first high-end palette I bought it was the original chocolate palette. I think Too Faced, UrbanDecay, Smashbox need to hire some influencers to help come up with creative things to keep up with the makeup industry otherwise the brands will go down. I know inflation has caused makeup to go up but now there are really good indie brands like Clarity Cosmetics and Ofra. They're trying to make money off the same thing. There was one youtuber who still has her chocolate bar palette and compared how they are different. I give those 3 about 5 years max before they go under unless they make some changes and hire someone or creative development.

Thanks for taking one for the team. This is boring to me, and not because it's a neutral palette because I love neutrals. The shades look lackluster too. Great review, as usual! Edit: Also, to me, this looks exactly like the Semi Sweet palette give or take one or two shades.

So grateful you did this review! I instantly wanted this palette but now I know I can skip it. Thank you for putting time in to review it! 😊

[@sassafrazz4480]

Patty, thank you so much for doing this review. I was immediately drawn to the shades of this palette when I first saw it, but now, after seeing how poor the quality of the formula is for these shades, I'm going to pass... any palette $35 and up should be held to a higher performance standard. Very pretty shades however. I may buy it later if it goes on sale, but not paying $50+ for it. Thank you again! 💓 Love your channel!

[@loretta_3843]

It seems like they rely more on packaging rather than the eyeshadows themselves. It's always a version of a "safe" neutral look, a formula which no one really complains about, but no one raves about either - copy/paste etc. It's like the make up development version of hell, where you have to reinvent the same product for all eternity!😄 I guess the "Better than..." is to Too Faced what "Naked" is to Urban Decay.

[@prophetess.cassandra]

I think Too Faced has beautiful eyeshadow formulas, and I’m addicted to that chocolate smell, but I’m not vibing with the packaging, I wish it looked like a chocolate bar, and that color story is nothing special. I’d skip this even if I wasn’t on a no-buy, but the formula is probably really nice.

Dang it. I don’t need this but the “collector” in me wants it. IF this goes on sale for Black Friday and if i have Ulta rewards dollars I’d use it for this.. the fact they went up from $49 to $54 is disappointing.. but inflation, I get it.
