Too Faced Selfie Powders for Spring 2015
This looks bizarre! I get the concept but I can’t imagine those shades actually working in practice.
I’m not sure if I love these or not….is it a gimmick or wonderful makeup “magic”? I’ll be curious to read and see what users experience with this trio of powders. Christine, do you think you might be reviewing these?
If it shows up at Sephora, I’ll probably pick it up, but being it’s a TF exclusive *at the moment* + shipping costs (and I know that I won’t have time to test it for the next two weeks), I’m trying to wait to see if Sephora will have it!
I’ve heard these have been popping up in Sephoras in JCPenney so I think it will be released in the formal store, too, when the release date comes. We shall see! I saw someone do a mini-review of it today but she didn’t test on camera, I am just not so sure about it.
i had the same thought! Gimmicky?
Such an innovation!I hope these powders do what too faced claims they do.
hey christine, do you know if this is limited edition or permanent??
This seems like such a weird/unique product, I am not sure how I feel about it. Would love to see a tutorial with it.
It looks so cute!
This could be a complete dud, but I’m totally intrigued! I always fall for these sort of things haha
I like the idea, but I need to see some solid reviews before I purchase this.
I don’t know about this one. Hopefully they make a video on how to use this. Because I can’t picture anyone wanting to look their cool ethereal light filters lol. Perhaps a bit too gimmicky. :/
I am torn on these. I would never use them and I think they’re a total gimmick, yet I think it is a cool piece of pop culture that people years down the line will look back at and laugh. The packaging is cute, too! Then again, Too Faced usually has cute packaging.
Hah. Brilliant 🙂
This seems interesting yet gimmicky…
Can’t wait for your review my dear 🙂
These look crazy colorful in the pan — it will be interesting to see what they look like on skin. Since I like many of Too Faced’s blushes/bronzers/powders, I do want to try these out.
Well colour me intrigued, especially by the bluish one.
I burst out laughing when I saw this. Not that I haven’t used these type of shades on the face to colour correct before, but marketing this as real life filters is crazy man. You won’t use these all over the face as they’re showing. lol 😉
I’m not sure how I feel about it? I can honestly say that this is the first product to leave me slightly speechless. In theory, cool idea.. But useful? Doesn’t seem so.
This is so unbelievably gimmicky but I WANT IT. That purple powder is really doing it for me and I can’t figure out how to get my hands on the Besame violet brightening powder (#canadaproblems).
Can you get nyx in canada? They just came out with a loose purple finishing powder thats $10 us. Or maybe you have a friend in the us that can send you besame violet?
Seriously?! I mean, nice of them to put out some finishing powders and what not, but I find this packaging to just be all of my no. Not everyone is freaking selfie obsessed!
I’m kind of on the fence about them :/ they look really shimmery and too pigmented (the packaging isn’t even showing a photo of someone who used it, unless they applied this powder on to the dog’s face and Parises skyline XD)
Very interesting! Can’t wait to see swatches!
These seem a bit gimmicky to me. Besides, people look so unnatural when they apply IG filters. Do you really want to look like that in real life? But at the same time, if done right, they could have the potential to make you look flawless and glowing. Maybe I’ll have to give them a try, just to test it 😉
they makeso so much now i didnt even know such exsisted if it would cover my pores i would be all for it ! but why be fake i agree with u 🙂
Who’s wasting money on this mess?
Oh, this is a facepalm.
I usually like what Too Faced brings out, but this seems so gimmicky to me…. plus the swatches I’ve seen does not make me want to fling my money at this. Haha 😀
Not sure I get the concept, if you only apply a filter to your face it’s not going to look right as the rest of the picture won’t match, I do like too faced but I think this is just gimmicky. What do you think Christine?
This seems more like a gimmick but I’d be lying if I said my curiosity wasn’t piqued with Moon River!
Why do I have the feeling this is not going to work at all?
I’m guessing this is in a similar vein as the Hourglass Ambient Powders? But these look too intensely colored to be of much help…like that yellow and purple look very intimidating.
I thought of the Hourglass ones when I saw these too. I like those cause they are natural looking.
I also wondered if this was hopping on the concept band-wagon of the Hourglass powders. But you’d think they’d give us a better visual than a dog in beret looking yellow, muddy and slightly blue with the cold as an idea of how these might look on actual HUMAN people who don’t have furry faces!
I had the same thought! They seem like they’re supposed to be more dramatic versions of the Ambient Light Powders.
These sound totally gimmicky! I think it would have come across better if they didn’t market them as “selfie powders” and just marketed them as finishing powders or complexion perfecting powders.
These seem like a gimmick. If they actually work, I want this, but I am skeptical. I hope you’ll be giving us a review!
Definitely seems gimicky to me, but I guess we won’t know until they’re available to try!
I really want to know what these look like applied all over the face. I’m hoping they don’t just look like shimmer.
I am not sure about this selfie schtick as it seems they try to appeal to younger audience. But the concept of light diffusing powders does interest me and I will try them out as soon as they release them in Sephora.
I love Too Faced, but wtf?! Tutorial please!
My first thought was–is this some kind of weird, EXTREMELY late response to Hourglass’s Ambient Powders?
And my second thought was, if the bronze shade was replaced with something more interesting, like a rose (similar to that effect people used to get by using pink lighting), then I would actually be interested in it.
Clever marketing and totally Too Faced! Finishing powders are usually not my deal, they melt away way too quickly on my oily skin, but drool! From the few swatches I’ve seen I like that the bronze one lacks any huge glitter particles, one of the reasons I felt Radiant Light didn’t work for me. Hopefully these look fab on darker skin tones.
PS The filters in the little shots with the dog look way ugly, or is it just me??? Lol.
Seems like Too Faced’s version of the Hourglass Ambient lighting powders. Much more affordable though. I get the concept and I could really see these being a hit if they perform well since the Hourglass ambient powders are out of many people’s budget. I am really interested to see how these perform. It’s going to be hard to match the way the ambients are so finely textured. But, on younger skin which I believe is who Too Faced generally markets to, I think that may not matter as much. I’m crossing my fingers for this one. I’m pro Too faced in general. Love the packaging!
Looks interesting! Can’t wait to see this in action. Not sure if it’s my type of makeup but still would be fun to see!
This seems really strange. I cannot imagine powdering myself in antique gold or blue to resemble a filtered “selfie”. I am definitely not the target audience.
This gave me a serious laugh.. “Our collection of weightless finishing powders mimic the effects of your favorite photo filters ” …. and the package says #NOFILTER
Wait, are they actually suggesting that people should walk around like they’ve applied Instagram filters to their face?
As soon as I saw this product I had to roll my eyes. Anything that is described as “selfie” powder I don’t want a part of, too much focus on social media for me
Has anyone with sensitive acne skin tried Too Faced face products? I want to try this but was wondering if that brand is okay for acne skin. I have had problems with other brands breaking me out.
I have sensitive skin but rarely have pimples as I’m 65. My mainm experience with Too Faced is the primer. I.use the regular one in the pink tube but they have a sensitive one in a white tubes. Shop some where with a 30 day return policy and also request samples, even from the manufacturer. I bet they would help. Try away then with one thing at a time for a week each.
Hmmm. I’m kinda intrigued!
Oh, dear. It’s come to this? But if they do work some sort of real-life magic, I’d be interested. I hate having my picture taken, but maybe I can at least look photo-ready? Lol!
I think a lot of people are not getting that this is purposefully tongue in cheek and kitschy. Lighten up, girls! It’s all in good fun. These are basically Ambient Lighting Powders little teenage sister.
I do wish there were a pink powder like Hourglass has, I always look the best under pink light!
I get that, but it still rubs me the wrong way. Not for me, but I won’t judge someone else if they like the packaging. I just hate the “selfie culture.” It’s the product itself that counts in the end, anyway.
and what is wrong with the selfie culture? a bunch of teenagers or young adults who actually like the way they look and like to take photos of themselves and share them with the world when i was a teenager i hated looking or taking photos of myself and i think there is nothing wrong with people who appreciate and love themselves enough to take photos of themselves
Sorry, Stephanie, I didn’t mean to offend anyone. Your question is a valid one. I didn’t single out teens and young adults, and I’m sorry if that’s the message I put across. I got bullied as a kid like you wouldn’t believe, and I never want to hurt anyone. Maybe it is a generation gap, as I did not grow up taking selfies.
Thank you for reminding me that not everyone’s motives are the same. I see a lot of narcissism, need to have others validate oneself, low self-esteem, shallowness, selfishness and bullying out there. I might not be noticing enough of the good, and I’ll try to rectify that.
That said, I still dislike the packaging and marketing concept of this. I hope the girls and women (and boys and men) out there don’t think they need a bunch of photoshop, filters, powders, or anything to make themselves appear completely perfect so others will love them. If they just want to enhance what mom & dad gave them, or cover their zits, before sharing with their friends: I don’t blame them. That’s why I wear makeup, after all.
I find this exchange and your answer very inspiring, Rachel R. Food for thought about the selfie culture!
This is one of the many reasons I love Temptalia and its community: respectful dialogues, fun comments and caring advice. So refreshing in what often feels like a harsh world.
Haha I posted “this looks like a tween version of hourglass’s powders” and then I saw your comment, great minds!
I’m very curious to see these powders in action. Seems like this may be Too Faced’s version of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders
I’m interested to see how they swatch, are these limited edition?
Yeah, bizarre and skippable for me.
Hmmmm…..I do not know what to make of this. Nope, not at all. And yet, I am still eagerly awaiting your swatches and review if or when you get it.
Oh my goodness finally a powder palette I can be excited about! Yaaayyy!!!
It’s a weird concept to me, like those tinted primer for complexion correction use. I know from my personal experience that when i wear purple or green based primer, it showed when I took pictures using flashes. So if these powder will do the same trick as tinted primer, I would definitely pass.
Or, if they just added a layer of translucent powder which diffuse the light like Guerlain’s Meteor, I would love to check it out as an affordable dupe for Guerlain.
Otherwise, I don’t want to look yellow/bronzed/purple in the daylight, no matter how subtle they would be.
hmmm, are these like Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders? I just received a purple base from a Revecen in a recent Memebox that I still haven’t tried out. Curious to see your reviews and hear about your experience with them!
Oh I got that purple base too! I love it but I have only worn it at home not out in other lights.
I’m glad to hear that you love it! I’ve been kinda scared to try it, lol, but now I will
Wow at all the comments on here not seeming into this! I like TooFaced products. Saw on Instagram this am. Think she got hers at Sephora in a JC Penny. Tara I think. Haven’t seen her talk about them but they look nice to me! Can’t wait to try!
They look like nice color-correcting illuminating powders. But the whole “selfie” thing turns me off. I think the whole narcissistic, atttention-wh*ring, bragging, fishing-for-compliments atmosphere of the constant selfie culture is just sad. People need a better way to build their self esteem. Sorry to rant, I usually just ignore stuff like this and don’t take it seriously. This really got under my skin, for some reason.
I m very curious about these ones! Can t wait to see reviews and tips on how to use them. The packaging is just gorgeous, I hope the powders are too. ^^
I’m gonna be cynical and go “nah” on these. They’re just piggybacking off of the popularity of Instagram and DIY photography!
Uh, I’m not liking the looks of this. $ 36 for 3 really weird-looking powders? Is this suppose to be color correcting? That gold one looks like it could be a glitter bomb or make you look like you’re starring in Gold Finger. Just bizarre….
This just looks like the banana/bronze/lavender powders that have been around forever, just with gimmicky marketing. (I am totally smitten with the dog in the beret though.)
This feels so gimmicky to me… unless this gets a stellar review, I think this will be a hard pass for me
They look like a tween version of hourglass powders, a little too glittery, too extreme, and in cheaper packaging.
I’ve been using Benefit Dandelion for years as a brightening powder, and like it’s subtlety. This doesn’t look subtle.
This is exciting! I love Too Faced – I am currently hooked on the cocoa power and cocoa contour. Of course, I love their shadows too. I can’t wait to try these 🙂
As someone with a very cool-toned complexion, I’m interested in seeing this in person and reading reviews.
They’re first access at Sephora…VIB and Rouge….
…I don’t really get it, to be quite honest. What’s the point of this, exactly?
These seem like ambient lighting powder dupes. Even the description is similar. I think it’s so funny how everyone’s saying it’s gimmicky when they seem to be a similar product to the hourglass ones.
I would maybe consider it if they were separate products instead of a palette… The only one here I’d consider wearing is Moon River.
Love the idea of this palette its pretty cool i know a lot of people dont get it but i like it
