By the time they put out the Romantic Eye Palette they changed the packaging and left out the lil drawer w/ brush. I have the Natural eye and the Naked eye and mine both have the drawer w/ brush but when I got the Romantic Eye it was the slimmer new packaging w/o drawer and brush. I honestly like the slimmer packaging better as the brushes aren't anything spectacular really and it only made the box bulky. And... I LOVE their 3 piece eye brush set they came out with in the tube. If your looking for some decent eye brushes, you might want to check them out. It's a nice lil set and oh SO soft!

Mine didn't come with one either! I'm so mad!

I searched for a brush compartment in mine for a long time and did not find it, either...but it's not major loss, in my eyes. Other makeup brushes work better..and that really has an effect on the look you create.

I just bought this the other day, and the sales associate told me the packaging had changed to make the box slimmer and smaller. She also showed me the pull-out drawer on the display palette (which she said was the old packaging). When I got home, I found that mine has no drawer -- I guess they took it out when they changed the packaging? I can't find a drawer or a brush anywhere, it must be a very recent change.

There's a little pull out drawer on the front and the brush is inside.

the brush slides out from the little drawer. You'll see a tab.

The brush is in the drawer. It can be a bit tricky to open, but it's there!

Mine didn't either, theres no compartment/pull out tray like shown in the picture. I'm really disappointed.

it is meant to be in a little pull-out at the front of the box of the shadows. the pullout comes with a little ribbon so if you see that, just pull it (:

There is a brush in a little drawer with a sponge applicator tip and a brush tip. I just uploaded a pic to show where it is. Honestly, I just use the Sephora Face & Eye Travel Tool Kit because it has all the eyeshadow brushes you could ever need.

http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P105102

it think it is in the drawer in the bottom at the front.

The pull-out compartment should have a little ribbon on it that you can pull out, but even if you do find it you would need to use other eyeshadow brushes with this palette. You cant blend or apply that well with the angled brush, but you can use it for eyeliner!

if your palette doesn't have the brushes, I would most certainly take it back to get a new one, but I would also focus on buying some eyeshadow brushes! (Cheap, good quality makeup brushes are Ecotools brushes from the drugstore!)

I usually put an extra dusting of loose powder (without blending) under my eyes before putting on glittery eyeshadows. That way, the extra powder "catches" the glitter and you can just brush it away. Dabbing my undereye area with scotch tape seems to work well, too.

I love the fashion look...but when I do it I always have to go over my under eye area with a makeup remover!

I have a great suggestion...Every time I know that the eyeshadow (usually dark eyeshadow, especially if it's going to be blended with more darker colors) will likely fall under my eye....I started doing this recently and it works..TRUST ME...I do my eye makeup before applying my concealer or foundation. Just wipe the excess eyeshadow with a moisturizer and then re-apply the primer. Hope it helps!

Yeh, I had that problem before too, but the easy fix it so that the color does not flake onto your cheeks is to just put a piece of toilet paper under your eye when you apply the eye shadow to protect your skin from getting any unwanted shadow on it. Also another thing I do is that I put a little bit of water on the eyeshadow brush to get the shadow to stick, this also makes the eyeshadow more intense as well. Give it a try, hope it works out!

When I'm using a shadow that likes to get all over my face I take a square of toliet paper and hold it under my eye as I apply the shadow. That way it gets on the paper and not anywhere else. Or you can just blot the spots the shadow get on. Either way works pretty well.

Wet your brush with either Fix + by MAC or even a spritz of water. Make sure you "pack" on the color rather than brush. Some fallout is inevitable. You can also apply a translucent powder under your eye to sweep off after you apply your eyeshadow or just put on your eye makeup before you apply foundation and concealer

I just tried the Classic look and encountered the same problem. Maybe try putting a fan brush underneath your eye while you apply the eyeshadow, it worked for me. I hope it works for you!

1. Use an eye shadow base.
2. After applying shadow, but before lining and applying mascara, gently brush and blend color with a soft brush. I use a medium blush brush that I use for nothing else,

There is NO good way to keep it out and it hurts, to boot!

I use an eye primer first. I wear contacts, so I cannot have even small flakes in my eye; can't even wear mascara. I only used the glittery gold to highlight, not for my main eye color. The three large main shades stay put if you use an eye primer.

You can try to pat it on at first and then lightly/gently blend it in, or u can try it with a wet brush.. it'll still apply the color beautifully! Also, you can put on some powder under your eye, and brush it away with a brush after you're done applying the color! Good luck!

Hi,

Yes you should be able to!

Yes...there isn't any liquid or gel in it.

yes!

For sure! Just place it in a clear plastic bag (ziplock or clear cosmetic pouch).

I did! I put it on my carry on along with another one and it passed through security with no prob. Did this a week ago. Good luck.

Hi

At the time of this answer, this meets TSA allowances for carry-ons. However, I've had TSA agents tear through things in the past, and causing considerable damage to belongings in their rush to check things, so I try to take only items that are in strong packaging. While this would travel perfectly well, there's unfortunately no guarantees that TSA won't damage this in their haste to get to the next passenger. Based on my previous experiences, I wouldn't take it on a plane unless it was in checked baggage, but in all probability, it's probably safe in a carry-on.

Hope this helps.

Yes you should be able to take it. It is a little bulky but if you are using a large bag or purse it shouldn't be a problem

Yes, it is not liquid so you can take it on your carryon. I brought it with me on a flight this weekend.

Yes! No problem it's not liquid.

I dont see why not. This would be great to travel with because it gives you so many options.

Yes, i took mine on board and it was totally fine. You just have to be careful when you take eye shaddow pots on board.

I guess it's more a warm toned pallet and the UD Naked is more of a cool toned because it has blue shades in it, but honestly, the Natural Eye Palet looks awesome on any skin tone !!

I think that the natural eye collection definitely has warm colors. There may be a few cooler colors mixed in (like velvet revolver) but the majority of this collection is warm colors (like silk teddy, push up, and honey pot). I like this collection because it has some of each, but if you don't like warm colors, I wouldn't get this collection.

There are warm and cool colours in this palette.
Heaven (both)
Push up (warm)
Sexpresso (warm)
Silk Teddy (warm)
Nude Beach (warm)
Erotica (cool)
Honey Pot (warm)
Cocoa Puff (warm)

All in all, don't do this palette if warm tones don't work for you. I haven't seen the nude palette but if it has greys, purples, more earthy tones, it will likely be more cool and better for you.

Good luck and have fun with it!

Natural is more warm.. naked is more on the cool side. But both are very neutral. The photos are actually quite accurate in terms of color. Also read the descriptions of the colors on the product description.. they helped me alot in choosing one over the other.

I think the first row of eyeshadows are cool, and the second and third rows are warm.

I'm a cool, and find all the colors on both palettes very wearable--not a dud in the bunch! I studied color theory at university, so I'll list what I see. The Natural palette is primarily warm, with the exception of Erotica (3rd column, middle row), and possibly Velvet Revolver (2nd column, 1st row). A cool color next to a warm one creates contrast, which adds "pop" to your application. That's the genius of these palettes--they are a sophisticated mix of "neutral" colors.
The Naked palette has more of a mix of cool & warm. The first column from top to bottom: warm, cool, warm. Second column from top to bottom: cool, warm (has a beautiful gold shimmer), cool with warm shimmer. Third column: warm, cool, cool.
You might be surprised at how good the "warm" colors look on you--they truly are subtle neutrals, and not too red, yellow or orange. I don't think you can go wrong with either palette!

I think the top trio is cool, the middle neutral, and the bottom is definitely warm. I am unable to compare it to any other palettes...sorry.

I can't tell you how it compares to other eye palettes but these are definitely warm-toned colors.

Very much warm tones but they are very subtle, I think it would look good on most people.

I ordered naked, but sent it back because it has no shimmer, shine, sparkle, or pop. I'm a warm, and all of the best colors in this kid tend towards warm. Not sure how it would look for cool tones, but Naked isn't for cool tones, but an overall more subtle look.

I've found that it lasts all day and well into the night. Even in humid, muggy conditions. Works best when used with a shadow base to keep it set. I love the Too Faced Glitter Glue with this set!

I use mine everyday (and I'm not stingy) and I've had it for a while (about 2 months). I haven't even put a dent in it. Based on previous experience, I think that it could last between 8 months to a year easily.

I have used the 3 middle colors everyday since october and it is sadly almost time for a new one.

I am amazed so far how much a little goes a long way. I work 10- 12 hour grave shifts and walk 2 hours after I get off work for exercise. Its still looks good when I get home in the am. I have only had this a couple of weeks but I really think its going to last for a long time. I am not having to do touch ups to make it 15 hours so I really think this is worth it

This may sound a little hard to believe, but I got this two Christmases ago, use it every single day, and I'm only about halfway through it. The colors are nicely pigmented so a little goes a long way. I use eyeshadow brushes as opposed to the spongy applicators, so I'm not sure whether or not that makes a difference.

This collection will last awhile, if used everyday, hhhmmm, maybe about three- four months? You dont need to use alot of this product to achieve the look you want. A dab here, a smudge there, your looks will produce nicely. I have had mine for just about six months. I have not used each color everyday but darn near close and some colors, I have hit pan. Hope I helped. :)

a year i would say

it lasts morning to evening. I use a shadow base first and then it stays on until I remove it -- even through hot days and nights on our boat in summer.

I've used its sister product, Romantic eyes pretty much everyday for the last 2 weeks, and I've hardly made a dent in it. I think at this rate, I'd be able to keep it going 6 months or more. I own this one, but only use it a couple of days a week, but it seems to work the same.

I would say for more then six month

For any age color has no age? Just like Age has no No. well Color has no Age... Why people do that?

Yes and no. It depends on what kind of condition your skin is in.

The thing about this palette is it has lots of shimmer which emphasizes wrinkles. If your skin isn't sagging yet or your wrinkles aren't too noticeable, this will look beautiful on you.
However, if your skin is into its aging, use minimal shimmer, only on your inner eye and under your brow.

Your choice! It's a gorgeous palette with lovely shades for a great price!
Good luck and have fun with it!!

This pallette is perfect for many different ages. It is a natural eye collection so the colors are very blendable to the skin tone and enhances the beauty of your eyes. Who would not want that, no matter the age?!

Definately. These colors can be blended as soft or strong as you like. Just be sure to wear a primer underneath.

Absolutely. My mother in law just bought it and she has had so many compliments on it! It really brightens up her eyes and makes her look youthful!

I think all of the light colors are appropriate for all ages, it adds a little shimmer to all the right areas, if you don't want too much color or dark colors, just add lightly and blend everytime you add a color onto your lid, but the colors are beautiful on all skins types and ages!

yes! it's really build-able so it doesn't apply to dark or harshly. there are 3 matte colours for a day look that are suitable for any age group then 6 shimmery colours that are more appropriate for a night out.

There are mat colors and shimmery colors. You only need a little and they are suble. Yes, use more of the mat and blend well!!! You will be so happy! Also try just applying shimmer at brow bone.

Because of the neutral colors, I think it's appropriate for any age. My daughter, who is a pre-teen, uses it. I'm in my late 30s and I use it everyday. And I could easily see my mom, who is in her 50s, using it as well.

A lot of makeup artists say that you should only use matte eyeshadows as you start to "mature". This product does have one set of matte shadows but I really think they are too dark. Maybe I'm just a glitter girl, but I've found that shiny shadows on the lid and brow are fine. If I avoid them in the crease I end up brightening my eye without highlight all my wrinkles. In my review I recommend the Lancome Color Design 5 Shadow & Liner Palette in Taupe Craze if you liked these colors and the concept of "use this for step 1".

The Natural Eye Neutral Eye really makes my blue eyes pop. I'm sure it would do the same for you!

I think that the natural eye neutral eye shadow collection works for all skin, hair, and eye shades.

The naked eye palette usually looks best with blue eyes.

I have seen the Natural Eye collection on so many different skin types. I think it would look beautiful with your coloring. Push-up and your lid with a little Sexspresso to contour and line would really make blue eyes 'pop'. I have seen these colors work on very dark African-American skin tones and very pale (my girlfriend who refuses to let the sun touch her has milky white skin). This is truly a neutral palette.

I have blue eyes and medium skin also, I use the Natural Eye. It's perfect!

I think the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette would suit just about everyone. The colors are so versatile. Good Luck!

try naked eye it would be great for your blue eyes but the romatic is great all around. :)

I believe this collection of colors would look beautiful on anyone looking for a natural brownish color look. I am sure it would look beautiful on you too. Try some sample colors at your local beauty store and see which ones fit you best. Hope I helped. :)

Hey, i'd recommend the too faced natural eye pallet because it works well on everyone. generally with blue eyes and darker hair I recommend peachy eyeshadows and light lilacs.

Right off the bat, I think all these palettes will suit you. You might find the Fashion style your most favorite, seconded by the Classic look since these two looks have darker brown shades that will accentuate your blue eyes. Let me know if my assessment is true. Good Luck!

I don't believe that most drug store brands (from what I've seen - and I've done some searching!) carry the versatility of this palette. Typically you only get four shades - this palette allows for 9 including highlighter and eyeliners. The eyeshadows also blend smoothly and don't look "cheap" due to being too glittery.

I can't see the picture, but I will say I do use both high end and retail colors. Unfortunately, the more expensive stuff really does cover/stay in place better, have truer colors and tends to not travel off the eye. If you're hesitant to take the plunge, you may want to start with a shadow primer. Also, if you are in an area with a Nordstroms, Macys, Sephora, etc, an in store trial can be a good bet. It's difficult to pick the right color and brand online. I have made a lot of mistakes that way! They are more expensive, but if used correctly, you need far less product to acheive the same effect. I have also been able to get good results with lower priced brands, but I did struggle with getting it to look "I just put it on" good all day long. Ultimately, if YOU like the result you're getting with a drugstore brand, that's all that matters :) Don't pay for something you don't need. I have been using the Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection and the B.E. Buxom Lashliner over the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I work long days (we just had our national convention) - I can put it on at 6am and it will last until I go to bed without touch-ups. I've even gone to bed with it on and it still looks great when I wake up. Hope this helps - good luck!

i've never used that particular pallette but i know how amazing the too faced is and i can feel and see a difference in quality when i use it

Have you tried the Wet n Wild Icon palettes I am not sure if they are exact dupes but for sure they are great quality and amazing price :)

the colors in here are great and pigmented and i use mine everyday but there are somany diff combonations of looks you could do with i think it is totaly worth it and you should get it

Pigmentation in this product is much better than drugstore especially with a great primer! These shadows have a long wear and even go further with some UD primer potion! Trust me... the money is worth it!

I have to say hands down the Too Face shadows are WAY BETTER!
I am a Pro M.U.A. free lance artist and I know what products are the best, durable, long lasting and have the best color pay off. This palette is one of my favorites. I use it everyday and have achieved so many different looks with it. I have used it for Bridal Makeup, Photo Shoots and the colors are really captured on film. I suggest to snap a shot of yourself wearing your cheaper eyeshadow and then one of you wearing this too faced palette colors. You will see a difference and you wont be disappointed. =)

I've tried many, many drugstore brands. In my opinion, make up is one of those things that you get what you pay for. I absolutely adore this palate, and with being higher quality it lasts longer. I've had mine for a year now and it's not half way gone. I would recommend trying it, especially with a good eye shadow primer. You'll love the results.

I do think that the pigmentation of the Too Faced is better, but I think you can still create the same look with drugstore shadows. So many times drugstore makeup is over-looked, but for the cost and quality, I don't think you can go wrong!!

I have wanted this palette for a while and when i picked it up 2 months ago i fell in love. For almost all high end makeup you buy there will most likely be a dupe for that. you can get the L 'Oreal palette for a very nice price and nice pigmentation but in my opinion the colors, and pigmentation in this palette just cant be beat. It truly is one of the best shadow palettes i bought so i do recommend it to anyone

Natural eye! it provides a mix of both collections!

I purchased the Too Faced natural eye neutral eye shadow collection kit. I am thrilled with it. It is subdued enough to wear anywhere while providing eye colors that can actually be seen on the eye after a couple of hours. I can, and have mixed up the suggested color ideas for a very nice and unique look. It sounds like you might enjoy this as much as I do.

I think the natural kit would really make your eyes pop.

GO WITH THE NAKED PALLETTE, THE COLORS WILL GO PERFECT WITH ANY SKIN TONE...

You can't go wrong to order the natural. The colors go great with all eye and hair colors. I have hazel eyes and my daughters are green and blue.

Natural. Those look very good on everyone. Trust me, you'll be pleased.

I have both and my favoriteis the Naked collection. The colors do better. I have medium skin tone and green eyes.

I think the best choice would have been the naked palette. If your skin is a medium tone, I am certain the colors in the natural eye palette washed you out. Also, eyes with a blue hue to them tend to look better with less sparkle and more fresh colors.

Go Naked. Natural has a lot of lighter colors that might look a little off with darker features.

Definitely stick with the Natural! The Naked Palette is much less usable, especially if you want the neutral colors. I find that the gunmetal and creep colors in the Naked Palette are unpractical and very difficult to use especially since the main goal with the naked palette is to have many different neutral colors. Now if you want to have more variety of colors, go to the Naked. But I absolutely love my Too Faced Palette, I find that I can create more looks with it.

It no longer comes with an applicator.

Nope... but I sure wish it did!

unfortunately, no. It used to come with a pencil, I believe, but it doesn't any more.

No.

Yes it does, but you can use your fingers just as well.

Yes it does. It will be in a tiny little compartment. Really cute packaging.

Nope, you have to have your own brushes.

No it does not.

No. It's used to have a small brush. I miss having one handy!

Yes. It's a two-ended wand with an eyeshadow puff on one end and a flat eyeliner brush on the other. It's in a little drawer that pulls out of the front. Really cute!
