I was really excited to get to grips with the brand new Too Faced Born This Way Natural Nudes collection. It features a complexion-inspired eyeshadow palette plus four different shades of a brand new highligting palette called Turn Up the Light. I have everything here to show you with photos and swatches.

So this collection is all about eyes and skin with a natural, glowing vibe. It is an extension of the super popular Born This Way franchise that focuses on effortless flawlessness.

What is the Too Faced Born This Way Natural Nudes Eyeshadow Palette?

This is a palette of modern nudes and the shades were inpsired by the BTW foundation collection and beautiful natural skin tones. It is a brilliant palette, not only because the shades are so good, but also because of the way it is organised.

Shades get deeper and you go along the palette, mattes sit with co-ordinating shimmers and, most impressive, the matte shades are larger than the shimmers, which most people use more of.

• Uses coconut water to help support skin’s moisture levels
• Alpine Rose to comfort skin
• Hyaluronic Acid to give a smooth appearance
• 16 matte, shimmer and metallic shades
• Pigmented, creamy texture with good payoff
• Easy to pick up and blend

Obviously you can use these shades in any way you like, however, Too Faced suggest using a matte shadow in a shade closest to your skin tone all over the lids for a clean base like a foundation for your eyelid.

Next they suggest to layer a shimmer in the same undertone and colour family on top to add a subtle glow. Then layer deeper matte shades where you want to contour your eyes and add shimmery shades to accentuate and highlight. It’s all based on how you would sculpt the complexion.

This is an excellent palette and I’ll get lots of use out of it because it’s super flattering and really easy to use. The formula is beautiful. Love it.

What is Too Faced Born This Way Turn Up The Light?

This is a highlighting palette with three different finishes for the perfect glow.

• Uses coconut water to help support skin’s moisture levels
• Alpine Rose to comfort skin
• Hyaluronic Acid to give a smooth appearance
• Features three baked powders in a buildable formula
• Two highlighter in Glow and Dazzle
• Soft Focus powder

Too Faced Born This Way Turn Up The Light Swatches

There are four different shade options – Light, Medium, Tan and Deep.

I have swatches of them all.

Light:

Medium

Tan:

Deep:

The Soft Focus is the largest pan in the centre and it has been designed to be used on the larger areas of the face to set foundation and brighten. This is very similar to Hourglass’s ambient powders and it’s great for blurring the look of pores and lines with a soft glow finish.

The Glow shade is a lovely highlighting powder with a soft silky texture. It is intended for use on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, under the brow bone. It’s beautiful on the skin.

The Dazzle shade is for where you want the most sparkle. Too Faced is suggesting we pop it on the top of the cheekbone, the center of the eyelid, the tip of the nose, and the cupid’s bow. This is my least favourite powder as I find the texture a bit chunky, but it actually works pretty well on the skin if you like a bit of soft sparkle.
