NIKKIETUTORIALS X TOO FACED
I HAVE TO BE HONEST! At first I was very excited to get the palette--I've watched Nikkie for a long time and looked forward to trying her collab. It's one of those things that you create excuses for a product that's not great, and you forgive it anyway. I tried it a couple of times and there are only three colors I love. I have no idea what's involved with creating makeup, and I could only imagine how tough it is. Considering the quality of Too Faced eyeshadows, I thought these formulas fell short. I love the gold, turquoise, and purple. The Chocolate Soleil Bronzer is too light and gray for my skin tone, the highlighter is watered down, and the blushes are more shimmer than pigment. It was hard to admit--if maybe 10 of the 13 pans applied well, it would be easier to keep it. But 3 out of the 13 worked for me. Oh well--maybe Nikkie will end up creating her own makeup line! I was lenient in the video, as it was a first impressions more or less. The more I played with it, the more I realized it could better. Watch below!
