Too Faced cosmetics: advantages, disadvantages and product descriptions
American cosmetics Too Faced has been around for over 20 years, but it gained popularity only a few years ago. Now this brand is used in many beauty salons. All palettes are interesting and relevant in their own way.
History of creation
The American brand Too Faced was created by two friends - Jeremy Johnson and Jerrod Blandino. Jeremy is more in charge of supplying the product, while Jerrod is more in charge of creating it.
The history of the emergence of Too Faced cosmetics is quite interesting. In the 90s of the last century, Blandino worked as a makeup artist and consultant at the Estee Lauder beauty corner, which was located in the Saks shopping center. He offered women's cosmetics, which worked well. But it seemed to him that the classic shades were boring and uninteresting, he wanted to experiment.
Then Jerrod began to take home cosmetics of various brands from the store and worked wonders right in his kitchen: he mixed eyeshadow with lipstick, lip gloss with blush and conducted many other experiments. At that moment, he was happy and thought that it was his cosmetics that would be bought. But the shopkeepers didn’t like it, and he had to stop his activities.
Blandino nevertheless did not stop and already in 1998, together with his friend Jeremy Johnson, created his personal brand Too Faced. The main goal of this brand was to get rid of annoying, dull and gloomy palettes. The guys created:
- all kinds of palettes of glitter shadows;
- eyeliner in all shades of the color palette;
- liquid lip gloss of the brightest colors;
- cream lipsticks with petrol stains.
In addition to the bright colors, the classics were also present. The palettes looked like a chocolate wrapper. But the highlight of the cosmetics - all the shadows were with fruity or floral aromas, which at that time was wild.
Peculiarities
Too Faced was the first to create glitter eyeshadows.And all thanks to Jerrod's curiosity. While working on a matte shade in the laboratory, he saw a beautician nearby creating a glitter lip gloss. It was then that he decided to try adding this component in the shadows and thus created a masterpiece.
In general, the main feature of an American company is not to be afraid to experiment.
All subsequent products are also fraught with some kind of history. For example, Jerrod once took inspiration from the graceful figure of Marilyn Monroe and created mascara with an hourglass brush. A feature of this brush was that it easily added volume to even the shortest eyelashes.
Another feature of the brand is aroma of palettes. Each palette comes with its own scent, which is very unusual, but interesting at the same time.
Advantages and disadvantages
The Too Faced brand is known to strive to make its consumers happy with its products. Due to this, the following advantages of the company's funds can be named:
- the cosmetics contain only natural ingredients, they do not contain any synthetic substances;
- do not cause an allergic reaction;
- brushes are made only of synthetic fibers;
- Each package has instructions on how to make the perfect makeup and which shades will complement each other.
If we talk about the shortcomings, then they are still present:
- high price;
- the new product is produced in a small edition, which is why not everyone has time to buy it.
Also, if you scroll through consumer reviews, it becomes known that, buying Too Faced cosmetics, you can stumble upon a fake. At first glance, there are no differences, but if you paint one side of the face with original products, and the other with a fake, then the difference is palpable. The original is easy to apply, the shadows do not roll, connecting several shades, they do not mix. But the fake is immediately noticeable - shades on the face do not match the shades on the palette, shadows and blush are poured, applying several shadows, they turn into one tone.
Therefore, in order not to fall for fakes, buy Too Faced products only in branded boutiques or stores. You can order cosmetics on the American website, but delivery is expensive.
Varieties
Too Faced produces a variety of cosmetics, so let's take a look at the most popular products.

It should be said that the primer is not a foundation that will hide all the imperfections, it only prepares the skin for makeup, removes dryness and gives shine.
