Two Faces with Too Faced

Hello Girlies!


I am not a small bag girl. Whether I'm going to work, to meet up with friends, or on a night out, I always have a mahoosive bag along with me. This is because I am physically incapable of travelling light! In my bag I always carry my kindle, a book (yes I need both), my diary, a change of shoes, my make-up bag, and an umbrella. In spite all of that I never actually carry much make-up out with me. This is mainly because I can never be bothered to touch up throughout the day. Therefore the only thing I carry out with me, are products that can easily take me from day to night look with minimal effort. I sometimes do this with a mac quad palette, but recently I have mostly been using a quad from Too Faced.




It's called Too Faced Pixie Perfect Eye-shadow Quad. It contains 4 colours that all you'd ever need to create the perfect eye. It is comprised of a matte light ashy brown (1), a dark matte brown (2), a shimmery bronze (3), and a nude flecked with glitter (4).

The dark colour is very matte, it only looks shimmery in pic as I only use one brush!


NB   Please excuse my eyebrows, I was just about to get them threaded!





Here I'm wearing 1 to define my brows and 4 all over the lid. I wear this in the day to just make my lids look a bit less dead & vein-y! As you can see the glitter is very subtle which I like, as I'm not too keen on looking like a disco ball during the day.



Here I'm wearing 3 all over the lid & lower lash line. I really like this colour, and would wear it for a more exciting day time look (i.e. not at work). It has good colour pay off, minimal drop-age, and good staying power.
  



Here is is 4 with some soft definition in my outer v and socket with 2. I really like this, and wear do it a lot to transform my day make-up into a night look, but usually with a flick of black gel liner, for a bit more va-va-voom!





Again here is 3 with 2 added for definition. I also added some black kohl (very poorly I may add, but I was rushing) to define my upper lash line and in my waterline to make it more evening-y. This really is fool-proof make-up, and only takes 2 minutes!

And here are some obligatory front on shots with my different eyes! This look will probably not catch on, but actually who knows, I still can't comprehend the souse brow!




So to sum up I really recommend this palette, as I like each colour and you use every one frequently (something I find rare in pre-made palettes), and you can achieve different looks with such ease. I'm not sure how easy it is to find as my friend gave this to me as an unwanted gift, but definitely keep you eye out. I had never used anything by Too Faced before, but now I will definitely check them out again!


What Too Faced products do you recommend? Which palettes do you keep reaching for?
