Tarte Metallics Shadows
Here’s a sneak peek of several of the new products/shades from recent Tarte Launches; I’m not sure when it will release to other retailers, but I purchased everything via tartecosmetics.com myself. (Naughty, by the way, was released a couple of weeks ago, I’m only now just getting around to swatching it.)

OMG, Tarte, you are killing me with those single shadows!! They look awesome! Is that the Rainforest formula?? I think I need Scarlet, Speakeasy and Grind for sure. And those brown lippies are bringing me back to the ’90s – love Crop Top. The Seduce blush looks pretty, but the other 2 look dry. Can’t wait for your reviews!
No, it’s not the same as the Rainforest of the Sea palette. The ingredients are different!
OK, gotcha! Still looks good though 🙂
Same here – a few of those shadows are “must haves” – Virtue, Grind, Weekend….I could go on and on. A very few look like those awful loose glitter bits ones that I try to avoid but the rest…really nice!
Poker Face looks like a must buy for me. I’m interested in most of the singles but I’m not sure what other colors I could get away with not swatching. Rave and Naughty look nice.
Maybe not the most original shades, but they seem to swatch well for the most part. Plenty of pigmentation. I do like Rave lip paint and Grind shadow.
You are a woman after my own heart! Those are my picks also.
The Young, Wild, and Free palette doesn’t look so great, especially that chunky glittery shade, but everything else does. The lippies are actually quite different from each other, which I wasn’t expecting. I’m eager to see reviews for the metallic shadows: Scarlet, Scandal, Grind, and Poker Face are my favorites. I love the looks of Risque and Seduce, but the other blush looks too light and too yellow for me.
I’am wondering how Seduce will compare to Tarte Blush in Exposed, it’s my fav blush! Also hoping the Exposed hilighter will be as great as the blush
I’m hoping it’s lighter & not as pink… Exposed is really pretty, but it’s too intense on my skin.
Wow, all these look great. Especially the metallic shadows!
Poker face is calling my name for sure.
Yesss! Thanks for posting swatches, Christine! I’ve been so curious about the Tarte single shadows since their release earlier this week.
Way to market to the Gen Xers, Tarte! I predict this 45-year-old will be sporting brown lipstick come Fall — NO REGRETS. I’m looking forward to your reviews, Christine!
Not yet? I’ve got 20 years on you, and I’ve gone greige. And not in the hair color, either. There are so many choices now, that you are bound to find a bunch you like.
That’s awesome!
Some lovely metallic shadows; not sure which one I like best yet. I do know that all of the lip paints look fab on you!
OMG I MUST HAVE RAVE. Im so glad I just saw this 🙂
Hi Christine i’m curious as to whether these eye shadows (singles or in the palette) are similar to the formula in the Rainforest of the Sea palette or more in line with the regular Tarte formula?
Would you consider Dame a rose-gold shade? Is it comparable to Nars Nepal or BeneFIT Velvet e/s in Buckle Bunny?
Oh this looks good! I know I will have to grab a few items!
Other than that palette, the rest look to be excellent quality! I’m looking forward to your reviews on Seduce blush, Crop Top and Rave Lip Paints, and Sinful, Scarlet, Hussy and Speakeasy eyeshadows! These eyeshadows though, are so rich looking!
Wow, I’m liking Scarlet, Scandal, Whiskey shadows. I don’t usually go for super metallics, they don’t flatter me at this age, but may be worth it because they’re such great colors. Also Risqué and Seduce blushes. Definitely will have to check them out in store.
I really like the nude lippies, I think all of them except Choker would work for me. Naughty looks cool, but I think it’d look terrible on me, so that’s a pass too.
The eyeshadows though, wow.
WHAT!!! Hold up I may need some of these!! These look amazing…I hope they swatch as well on darker skin.
I feel like Seduced must be really close to Exposed blush. I like Exposed but I really have to build it or it doesn’t show up well on my skin.
The eyeshadows look really nice! So does the palette, but my last two palette purchases from Tarte were disappointing in terms of texture so I’ll probably pass (I got the Energy Noir and one of the Double Duty palettes).
Faves:
Lips — Crop Top, Rave.
Eyes — Poker Face, Sinful.
Palette — very nice if one doesn’t already have these earthtones.
Overall, this collection takes me back to the 70s!
Oh, wow! I wasn’t expecting a release like his from Tarte! Rave is very nice, hoping it will work with my skin tone. Scarlet, Scandal, and Speakeasy all look wonderful. I hope they continue to expand their single shadow collection.
Everything looks lovely!
Looooots of pretties! The eyeshadows definitely have my attention.
I asked them(tarte) on Instagram when it would be available at other retailers. They told me Sephora on 7/8 & Ulta 7/10.
Sure wish Tarte would branch out to more color and less 100 Shades of Brown. 🙁
The lip colors are not for me, but they are so pretty!
Oh-oh! I love those brown lip shades and the metallic shadows. This is going to be a budget-wrecker for me!!! But soooo pretty!
Rave Lip Paint & Poker Face eyeshadow are my picks.
