 Tarte just launched a new eyeshadow palette and it's been a while since one of their palettes caught my eye This is the man-eater after dark eyeshadow palette and it just looked so different to me Like I haven't seen a color story or the looks of the formula like this from Tarte ever It caught my eye and I was like I haven't reviewed a tart palette in such a long time on my channel So I picked it up. Tarte is a brand that I will often skip their launches as far as reviewing goes But when a brand launch is something that's a little bit different a little bit outside their norm I always raise an eyebrow and pretty much review it and this for some reason screamed and needed a review So I have it in my hands and since I ordered it I've seen a couple reviews pop up and it seems like the overall consensus is this is a good palette unlike any that Tarte has launched and if you don't know my background with Tarte eyeshadows I'm usually quite underwhelmed by the formula the last palette that I picked up from Tarte Was this juicy palette because the color story I mean come on so beautiful. I love bridal style makeup This is a perfect bridal palette, but I was like unimpressed by the quality. I thought the quality was fine It was decent, but nothing special nothing to warrant Tarte being known for eyeshadows I have a feeling about this one. So here's the outer packaging and this is what it looks like It has a 12 months shelf life and this is made in Taiwan Here's the back if you need to look at any of the ingredients or anything So I picked this up from Ulta for $52. I got a lot of other things with it So keep an eye out for a haul But this is the Tarte man-eater after dark eyeshadow palette is the largest fiercest man-eater palette yet with 24 new everyday shade a holiday flair So I'm assuming this is their holiday palette in like September, but hey, whatever around this time be prepared The holiday stuff is gonna start coming out within the next couple of weeks Holiday stuff comes out in like September October and then November and December it goes on sale So prepare for that. So let's go ahead and open this up here is what the packaging looks like So it has this cheetah print and then it is plastic and gold here at the bottom And then it has the details about the palette and it's nice and sleek and slim I must say I mean it's been a while since I purchased a palette from Tarte, but love this It's like a MacBook Air kind of style and then oh my gosh These look rich and juicy and creamy Wow, and then you do have a big mirror. I don't know I can't wait to touch these. I've seen photos of swatches online. I think we're about to be shook You know when you just have a feeling I'm looking at the textures compared to the textures in the juicy palette and they just They look different the shimmers definitely an entirely new formula We'll see about them at the shimmers are looking juicy I will say while this palette and the looks of it did catch my eye She did look a little makeup revolutionary to me for some reason. I thought of makeup revolution So I put out this palette from so fax. This is the extra spice palette These are totally similar color stories, right? So if you don't want to break the bank I'm sure makeup revolution has similar variations because this is super duper close and this is cheaper You get a lot big bang for your buck fifty two dollars a lot of different shades, but this has similarities I've noticed in case you want a cheaper alternative. Let's get into reviewing this palette All right lights are down get a closer look. This has 24 brand new shades There's 11 mattes nine shimmers and four Sheen formula so I think these ones with the embossments are the shimmers and these are the sheen Shades from what I'm able to tell and it's the Amazonian clay Infused formulation for intense payoff and blend ability apparently. Let's go ahead and swatch So how I'm gonna go is from row to row. We have a lot to swatch So let's get into it. So here are the first four look at sensual over here. I can't wait to see it swatch So this is playful Lust Mischievous and that was a little weak, right? Okay. Here we go sensual Okay, I have never had a shimmer I like this from Tarte ever. I don't have a ton of experience with Tarte Oh, wow. Hash in another matte insatiable another shimmer and Nammar and Heartbreaker is right here. So we might get a little bit of fallout from these shades, but how okay? So I have two sheens on my finger I think maybe let we'll see but they aren't the embossed ones so desire Okay, heated catches me more so as a shimmer than a sheen. It actually is quite metallic It's just not as thick as the previous two ones sundown, okay? So this one is definitely a sheen aka a topper So it's not giving us much base and then a luring just a matte the mattes are swatching a little weak But mattes can be tricky in terms of swatches never really tells the whole story So here are the next four. This is one of the true Shimmer shades and we'll see if this is a sheen or not. So this is charming Fantasy I guess this is a shimmer not a sheen Interesting wild at heart definitely one of the main metallics and then hot in here Still a shimmer not as metallic. You can see that direct comparison, but nice. Oh, this could create a stunning look Let's watch these so a nightfall. Yes, okay animal instinct This is the black in here not the blackest black in the world, but that's okay Okay, this one is the most metallic in the palette. This is feline myself It's doing the work and then intense which is the unimbossed shimmer formula But it still has quite a bit of pigment to it temptress, which is a matte on the prow This is an embossed shade, but it didn't really give me as much shimmer as the other ones Moody, which is a matte not swatching the best and then not turn all which is an embossed shimmer So these are all of the colors I would say traditionally this kind of color story is definitely too warm than what I normally prefer, but in terms of fall colors It's just perfect. So I was very very attracted to it I just felt like there's a wide variety beyond just the warm tones I'm not saying the color story is unique, but it is a great take on fall colors Now what I find interesting one will have to play with the mats on the eyes because they didn't necessarily Swatch the bass, but that's okay all of these Wands that are embossed swatched really crazy creamy now They say that there's four Sheens in here the only true sheen I could find was this one right here because all five of these are the unimbossed shades And I think four out of five of them are considered sheens, but with the exception of sundown They all have a really nice shimmer formula They just might be a little bit more satiny and a little bit more dry feeling as opposed to the embossed shades Because the embossed shades are noticeably more creamy, but that doesn't mean the unembossed shades lack pigment The mats are questionable in terms of swatch, right? But the shimmers are crazy So unfortunately with there being 24 shades and one set of eyeballs here I'm not gonna be able to test every single color, but I think I can get a general feel as I play around a little bit This is the first impressions It's not a dedicated reveal and I would do multiple looks if I could but my eyes get really irritated very easily So I'm gonna throw on as many colors as I can particularly the questionable colors. We'll see what we can do with this I did end up sacrificing this eyeball. I did a look I hated the look, but it was not a waste because it allowed me to test some formulas And it left me saying okay, I need to play with more and I did this eye using different colors I'm gonna show you how I got this eye and explain all the formulas are doing in this palette So I really actually wanted to focus on the bats because they swatched a little weak So I'm gonna start off with an amour right here, which has like a warm touch to it It's one of the like highlighty shades It's gonna be a great highlight shade for medium skin tones This palette has a great array of transition and highlight tones I'm very very happy and it's not too much if you ask me I think they did the perfect job with the variety here and these kind of matte transition tones Then I'm gonna dip into playful, which is much more like white based I'm gonna use this to really brighten up close to the eyebrow So the shadows do give you a little bit of kick up, but nothing crazy But this palette overall is quite messy. So please be prepared for fallout. Don't do your face makeup first I have a tinted moisturizer on but I don't have any concealer on so that's the perfect way for me to do it BK Beauty 201 and I'm starting off with Desire right here So this was an important shade for me to test out because it's one of the brighter ones if you will So you can really see how these mattes perform So these mattes are definitely not chock full of pigment They are buildable for sure But why I'm not turned off by the less pigmented formulas because it's very beginner friendly Which I think really is a good target for Tarte's clientele You know, it's Tarte is really kind of for the masses for people who aren't like me Who don't put on makeup every single day or do makeup on clients all of that but the pigmentation was buildable and Very easy to blend out so well It's softer of a color really great if you're a beginner with eyeshadows, you know that way It's easy to blend can't over apply so I'm gonna go right above with mischievous right here I'm using a refer brush and don't forget about their buy one get one free sale That's going on at refer right now and we're gonna kind of give ourselves a little ketchup mustard look so again You can see while the color was quite rich looking in the pan I mean, it's quite consistent with how they swatched in that. Yes, these are Softer colors, but you can see they look really blurred on the eyelid and very smooth So if this is a formula that you think you can work with I do recommend it if you love pigment and you love intensity I don't think that this is the formula for you But this is definitely a good every day kind of palette next up to deepen we're going into a luring So one kind of color weakness if you ask me is there's not enough deep matte tones You have so many light ones and some good mid-tone ones, but this is really the only deepening one that is not black There's also moody right here. I used moody in the first look and moody didn't give me much pigment It was again much more sheer and lighter than it looked in the pan So I would say that is the one thing missing from this palette is some nice rich matte tones Particularly for those of you with deeper complexions. I know you guys appreciate those in your palettes Even though this is one of the more rich colors again, you can see it's not giving too much Of course, there is the black in here to deepen any of the matte shade that you need But still that is kind of a more advanced concept to use black to deepen those shades Anyways, it still is blending really really nice that and this is a good Thanksgiving ish kind of look fall Look I've done a transition blend like this many many times on my channel I did have to mess around with the block this black blacks and pellets always speak miles So I'm using animal instinct using a little more fee brush for this and I have to say I'm actually impressed with this black It's giving me more pigment than I thought it was going to as you can see It's not going to be the blackest black eyeshadow you've ever used, but it's that softened formula That's easy to work out especially since black can be intimidating to beginners But it's more black than I thought it was going to be comparing it to the other shades in the palette So I'm very very happy with this black and you can totally use this as shadow liner I'm going to use a different brush my refer brush. We're going to work that out Hopping into the shimmers. I wanted to try out fantasy now that I've used it It's definitely more of a sheer kind of shimmer It doesn't lack in pigmentation But it just lacks the dimension that a lot of the shades in this palette have and I'm just gonna pop this in the Center of the lid meeting it in with the black So I do believe this is more of a sheer kind of top or color though as you can see there is a base to it So it can be applied to a bare lid and I'm just using that as a sensor deep shade in all reality I don't really like this shade and what it's doing for this look But I wanted to show you how it looked and you can see it has more of a satin finish as opposed to metallic next up I'm going into heartbreaker right here Which is one of these really creamy impactful shades and use a finger because you will get a mess all up on your eyes If you use a brush it will just fall off even when you use a finger which you can see I'm doing now It still is quite messy. So tilt your head back a little Tap in the pan goes a long way on the eyelid. These are messier shadows It's gonna be difficult to get precise looks with these So just be prepared to pop the shimmer all over your lid for a more diffused look It's gonna be a harder palette to work with if you're looking for direct Precise placement on the eyelids, but I mean it's all about the shimmer. It is so pretty I did want to head into sundown. This is definitely a topper shade So this I really wouldn't put on a bare eyelid But you can use it to add a little bit of sparkle to the look It's not my favorite shade in the palette, but it is a true shimmer So I use it to kind of lighten that area up So in terms of other shades that I use that you didn't see today that I used in the first look Moody right here definitely does not give the impact in the pan that it does on the eyelid But it's still very easy to use Temptress is nice. I did use feeling myself messy, but super dimensional and gorgeous I use some of nocturnal this has less dimension to it, but it's really thick lots of pigment Intense is very very pretty It is kind of similar to fantasy, but a little bit prettier if you ask me So I'm gonna go ahead kind of finish up the rest of my face because it's messy There's a lot of fallout like I said to be warned and I'll be back finished Ish kind of the rest of the face I wanted to do the lower lash line with you So you didn't feel like you were missing anything nothing crazy We're gonna start off with desire, which is the yellow shade And we're gonna focus that mostly on the inner part of the lower lash line Huh, it's raining. When did that happen? The lighting is going down. Anyways just underneath here and then mistivish So you were not strained too far from the action that we did on the upper half of the eyes Looks so good alluring And then I'm not done just to bring more of the green. We're taking fantasy. I don't really love this shade It's a bit too dark for what I like greens in my looks to be But I'm just gonna use it in the outer fourth like that. Oh, do we look ready for fall or what? That's all I'm gonna do with the palette today I'm gonna finish the rest of my makeup and I'll be back to share with you my thoughts on this palette so far My thoughts thus far about this palette, I'm not gonna say my final thoughts since it does have so many shades But I'm pretty Certain these are my overall thoughts overall. I think it is a really nice palette I'm definitely gonna say my favorite palette that tart has ever launched. So taking a look I mean this color story is just beautiful for all of my boring babes. I mean, it's a neutral palette It's something that is dupable. It's not the most unique color story But I do think it's different than what I've personally seen from tart I think this palette is Phenomenal for beginners in terms of how the mattes blend and work So if you struggle working with mattes and getting them to blend and shadows being overly pigmented I think this is a great way to start. It can be a bit messy though You will get fallout particularly with the shimmer shades, but they look so beautiful on the eye This palette really isn't meant for intricate looks just because of how messy The shimmers are but this palette is really great for the everyday person who wants to slap an eyeshadow look on I think the quality is really nice I think this is different for tart and it really is a very very nice formula Up until this point every palette that I've tried from tart in terms of eyeshadows I've always been like it's good. I can make it work, but I just I don't get it I don't get the hype for me when I think of tart. I'm not going to recommend eyeshadow palettes So this is the first palette that I think is very very very nice. It's very pretty great for the holidays So if this is something that you are interested in picking up, I think they did a step up with this palette So I'm really excited that I can recommend this to you guys because I don't normally buy art palettes I'm not normally interested but that one is definitely going to be a top tier Fall palette of all the new launches if you don't want to spend the $52 if you're able to get your hands on the makeup revolution My extra spice palette you can totally get the vibes with this palette that being said the tart's quality is much better in my opinion But color story wise you can get something with that So I hope you guys enjoyed this video and found it helpful Make sure you like and subscribe to my channel for more content and I'll catch you guys in the next one Bye guys.
