TINte Cosmetics Natural Beauty Match Book for Weekend Getaways

Date: Monday, May 25th, 2009 Author:

TINte Cosmetics Match Book in Natural Beauty ($28.00) is an easy, everyday kind of makeup palette perfect for anyone in the market for a solid, everyday look. TINte offers three Match Books: Blushed Beauty, Natural Beauty, and Smoky Eyes. Each Match Book contains two eye shadow colors (a base and contour), a cream eyeliner, blush, two lip glosses, and two brushes. On the back of each Match Book is a “Match the Look” which is a stpe-by-step guide (with pictures!) on how to use the products.

The Natural Beauty palette contains a base color that’s a soft, whitish-beige shade and then a color shade that’s a soft, golden tan color. The cream eyeliner is an intense, deep black-brown with a bit of warmth to it. The blush is kind of a bronzy shade, but it isn’t shimmery or anything, so it gives a natural flush to cheeks. The two lipglosses include one in a coral-peach shimmer shade and then a bronzy-tan with gold shimmer shade.

I like that the brushes included aren’t miniature in size, because I find those tiny handles impossible to use. These are more like short handled brushes, which makes them a lot more manageable. Also, the brushes were a nice add-on, because you get a lip brush, shadow brush, and a liner brush (one brush is dual-sided). The palette itself is housed in cardboard/paper packaging, so it is more earth-friendly than plastic palettes, and you don’t have to worry about this cracking if you drop it. I was really impressed by the intensity of the cream eye liner, because it was ridiculously deep and creamy. I also preferred two glosses over a gloss and a lipstick, because I find lipstick pans tend to be kind of sheer and blah.

For $28, this palette is a great deal, too. This is something I’d give to friends/family who weren’t comfortable with makeup and wanted something that’s totally go-to when they had a special occasion or wanted to play around with makeup. It’s also nice to have in the stash for weekend getaways where natural is all you need.

See the inside & get swatches!

    Wow! That cream liner is way deeper/richer than most pot form liners sold in high end brands. Impressive!

    Wow, the pigmentation looks fabulous. The liner and coral gloss have really caught my eye. I think I’ll be heading over to their website to have a better look.

    Thanks Christine! :)

    Wow, both those glosses are CUUUUTE.. The shimmery pale pinky coral is good for spicing up a nude lip, and the bronze is great for the beach!

    This is something I would really love to have! Being a Mom to a little boy, you have to be light on your feet. Literally. They move fast at age 3. I can’t imagine this much needed must have would weigh me down! ;]

    I actually have the tinte smokey eye matchbook. The glosses were great, the shadows and blush were ok but were kinda chalky, but omg I hated the liner. It NEVER dries. I actually did a test on my hand because it never seemed to dry on my eyes. I drew a thin line, like you would for your eye, and 40 min later it was still wet. Is the liner for the natural pallet better?
