Maneater Eyeshadow Palette Volume II

I use this nearly every day! It is an absolute must-have for me! Very pigmented and blends very well!

As soon as they revised this palette and released it with the black I jumped on it. The formula is different than the amazonian clay shadows in the tartlette palettes but they are very blendable without being too soft, there is a great range of warm toned neutrals, the shimmers apply easily with your finger and best of all with the black added the palette is super versatile and you can easily take a daytime look to a more smoky look or use the black as liner. It's the perfect size for every day use or traveling, I have brought it everywhere and have had no problems with it. The mirror is a good size and very clear, very easy to use. I have oily monolids so I always start out with the lighter shade all over my lids to set my primer then go darker and darker closer to the lashline so the color selection in this palette works incredibly well for me. The shadows don't crease, the color stays vibrant all day and I get compliments on my look all the time. Perfect everyday palette. Less

I bought this to replace an old and used up neutral palette I had had that was a different brand. I had used tarte in the past, so I really was expecting to love this palette. The colors were beautiful, although they are all warm tones. Tarte was good before, and I dont know what happened. The first time I used this, it was great. I loved it. Then I used it again, and it has mad fallout and kick up in the pan. It is a hot mess. The colors dont stay true after multiple use, and they fade and blend together into a muddy mess after application. Application is very patchy and it takes forever to build up, and forever to blend, into a decent look. Even using primer, concealer, foundation, what have you, this just does not perform well. It stayed as applied for maybe an hour before it just starts going downhill. There are much better neutral palettes out there, especially for as much as this one costs. This was just so disheartening. I also snagged some of their single pans, and the same thing occurred- super patchy, major fallout and kick up, and terrible blending- and It doesn't matter if a brush, sponge, or finger is used to apply. I would honestly rather pick up a cheap drugstore palette than purchase anything from tarte again if this is what their products have become. Less

I have been using Urban Decay shadows (primarily the Naked Palettes) for years now. I've been on the same palette for longer than I can remember which probably isn't smart, so when I saw this cute packaging it caught my eye and I decided to try it. When I did my make up today with the Tarte shadows I was like, "Ohhh, this is how shadows are supposed to blend!" I realized that the UD stuff didn't go on my eyelids evenly and didn't blend AT ALL. I didn't realize that wasn't normal! I have been using a black UD shade for eyeliner and despite using eyelid primer (Fergie's primer for Wet n' Wild) and setting it with powder, the black shadow always ended up on my crease or sliding under my eyes. I'm approaching 40 and have genetically droopy/puffy lids, unfortunately so this kind of thing just seemed like something I would always have to deal with. But today, i had minimal transfer of the black shadow line to my crease, and it only happened on one eye--plus I forgot to set the primer with powder today. I am so excited to have found such a great produce. It goes on really easily and it's really pigmented. I also like the mix of matte and shimmer. The only thing I didn't like is that the browns are a bit warm/orangey for me (I'm pretty pale with olive/yellow undertones). I will be looking for more Tarte eyeshadow colors in the future . . . and might be trying the blush, too, if it's comparable! Less
