I Can See Right Through the Too Faced Leopard Love Complexion Perfection Kit (And I Like What I See)

October 6th, 2010 by Karen 70 Comments

too faced leopard love palette review

I swear, this is just the coolest thing ever. As people, we get a lot of great makeup released specifically for us, so it’s refreshing to finally see a major cosmetics company like Too Faced release a palette designed specifically for cats! — BIG cats no less.

Okay, not really. To clarify, you do not have to be a leopard or even a cat lady who loves leopards to love the Too Faced Leopard Love Complexion Perfection Palette ($30). You do, however, probably have to be a girl who likes super sheer color.

Too Faced released it a while back with some other goodies for fall, but I only recently started wearing it out.

It comes with three different powder products — a bronzer, a blush and a brightener — and one of them’s already a star. The brightener, which goes by the name Pink Leopard, happens to be a big bestseller from the brand as a member of the permanent line, but the other two products are new — otherwise known as “previously undiscovered species of cats.”

Pink Leopard: a shimmery golden brown with the faintest hint of pink
Candy Leopard: a shimmery pink
Peach Leopard: a semi-matte peachy brown

The palette’s designed to be a one-stop color/contouring/highlighting shop for girl cats of all skin tones.

I gotta commend Too Faced for developing Leopard Love with the full double rainbow of skin tones in mind, but here’s the thing — on anything but the lightest skin, these colors are almost too sheer. On me, we’re talking three or four layers to reach a level of pigment I like.

If you’re lighter than I am, you’re in luck! But if you’re darker, you might have to swap your brush for a shovel to really pack these on.

Candy Leopard (wouldn’t that be a great name for a drag queen?) packs the most pigment of the three, with a color that reminds me of MAC Nymphette Lipglass, and you know how obsessed I am with Nymphette. As a matter of fact, I think I’m going to try the two of them together when I get a chance…

Candy Leopard Blush on my cheeks; Pink Leopard Brightener on the bridge of my nose, chin and upper cheekbones; and Peach Leopard Bronzer across my forehead and along the contours beneath the apples of my cheeks

One thing about these textures: they’re harder than I expected them to be, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It makes them less messy than those softer powders that erupt into a puffy cloud — POOF! — at the slightest touch. On the other hand, it also means that brushes take a little more time to load (several strokes across the pans).

Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: If you’re cool with sheer color and don’t mind hard packed pans, you might fall in love lovewith this Leopard. The palette’s designed for all skin tones, but lighter lovelies make these shades really POP! Tabs would also like to point out that Too Faced wisely didn’t test these products on cats (they’re cruelty free). That would NOT have been cool. Available at Sephora and online at toofaced.com. Grade: B+

Too Faced Holiday 2010 Starts…NOW!

Thanks, Nina, for the 4-1-1! It looks like some new Too Faced holiday goodies just popped up like fairies and pixies on sephora.com. What do you think of the mythical vibe?

Sephora lists four new kits:

  1. Glamour To Go Fairy Edition ($20): A palette with eight shadows, a gloss, a bronzer and a blush in slim packaging
  2. Pixie Perfect ($45): A five-piece kit with an eyeshadow quad, a blush and bronzer duo, a lipgloss, a mascara and an eye primer
  3. Pixie Pin-Ups ($32): A pop-up box with six eyeshadows, an eye primer, a mascara and one liner
  4. Enchanged Glamourland ($49): A MEGA-set with 15 shadows, an eye primer, gloss, blush, bronzer and some much-appreciated instruction cards

What do ya think? I dig the whole fantastical idea, but if you’re going to go that route, why not go all the way? I mean where’s the unicorns? 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Oh I have this!!!!… but haven’t used it a ton because you are right when you say it is sheer. It is really unique though and I will gladly swipe extra for the cuteness factor. When you tweeted that photo earlier today I was wondering what was making your cheeks glow–imagine my delight that it’s something I already have! Gorgeous!

    I just ordered the Enchanted Glamourland palette from Sephora, cannot wait for it to arrive.

    I remember trying Too Faced stuff years ago and not being impressed. But it seems in the years since than they have really stepped up the quality of their makeup. I already use the Too Faced shadow Insurance and love, love, love the The Nakeds eye palette. Not really thinking about the Leopard Love stuff, but the new holiday stuff is calling to my credit card! I’m just drooling over the Pixie Perfect and the Enchanted Glamourland sets. And I have to say that the instruction cards they include with some of the sets is pure genius.

        A few reasons. #1. The quality is not that good. #2. Most of their products are made in non “quality controlled” countries. #3. It reminds me tomuch of Hardcandy. So it’s just blah. The kit looks pretty though.

    Hey Karen 🙂

    I really like the peach leopard bronzer especially the actual peachy shade in it looks so pretty 🙂 Im a light medium skintone so i think it might suit me!

    On a different topic ( i do that alot in comments hey lol ) I start the certificate course with Napoleon Cosmetics in 2 wks and im SOOO excited!!! Its the shorter course that only goes for 9 wks but its still more than enough 2 get you in2 the makeup artist industry which im hoping for 🙂 and its a heck of alot cheaper than the higher course lol the only difference is my course doesnt teach any of the special effects stuff or hair styling, which is cool anyway cos i dont like that area of makeup! They reccommend the certificate to anyone who wants 2 do fashion, runway and tv makeup stuff like that which i would looovvveee 2 do 🙂
