Cult Favourites We Forgot About

Cult Faves

Yes, new beauty products are exciting, and yes, we want them all, but we can’t forget about those tried and true Holy Grail products we once fell in love with. Those beloved staples that were once favourites in our collection, quickly get ignored and replaced by new treasures. When people talk about cult faves, they often mention bestsellers or classic beauty products that people have been buying for ages. When it comes down to my ride-or-die products, the ones I can’t live without, no matter how many new products hit the market each month, these are the ones I will continue to re-purchase.

Before Tartelette in Bloom and Tartelette Toasted, came the tarte Tartelette Amazonian Clay Matte Eyeshadow Palette. This was the palette that started it all, way back in 2014. It was one of the first all matte palettes that actually performed well. We all know, sometimes matte shades are hard to perfect, forcing us to reach for other options outside of a single palette. This was the first palette that allowed me to play with different looks for both day and night, without having to reach for other shades. It includes 12 shadows ranging from beige to deep black and everything in between. Although it’s an all matte and neutral palette, it offers both cool and warm tone shades, a little something for everyone.

None of the shades seem to be too powdery, nor do they create a lot of kick-up or fallout. All shades are incredibly pigmented, blend out seamlessly and stay put the entire day without fading or creasing. It contains several highlight shades, transition and blending shades, all-over lid shades, as well as a few deeper hues that can double as a liner. It offers a good mix of light, medium and dark shadows that work well on a variety of skintones. If you love matte shadows and looking for a single palette that can do it all, this is it!
