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
