I’ve been lusting after this palette for ages! would be an everyday go to, for a daytime neutral eye or even a dramatic smokey eye. It’s perfect.
Such a lovely palette! I would wear it every day, I find it very versatile.
I’d use the bottom left shade as a “smoothing base” all over my lid and up to the brow bone before applying the taupe-y shade (bottom row, 2nd from right) allover my lid and then the top right brown into the crease and under my lower lashes. A light shade again for inner corner/inner lower lid and one of the more deep skin toned shades to blend out the crease.
I don’t actually have a lot of matte eyeshadows so I’d be able to experiment with those and create different looks.
I would wear this every day for work! I would make soft, neutral looks. Could also do darker looks for going out with friends and family.
i’d wear a jeweled smokey eye. Those purples are calling to me!
I love natural makeup, so that’s what I would use it for. This looks perfect.
I’d love to win this palette, I love all the shades!
I’d wear this for a classy daytime “interview” type look, or use darker colors for an evening smokey eye. So many possibilities!
I’m not very good at applying a look with all matte shades, to be honest. So this would be the perfect complementary palette for me. This palette has all the great transitions shades and a great range to create a great shadow in the crease or smudged under the eyes. It’s totally gorgeous, and lucky me, it totally compliments my hazel eyes! 🙂
Totally in love with the middle row! Especially ‘Best Friend’ and ‘Bombshell’. I’m also all for that gorgeous ‘Power Player’!
Right now im really into combining purples, taupes and nudes. The combination of Force of Natura on the lid, Best Friend in the Crease and Bombshell to define te outer V is calling my name.
I would LOVE this pallette! I feel like it would pair really well with shades from the Naked3. 🙂
I would use this palette everyday! Smoky purple, neutral Browns, and a wash of soft pink.
This would be PERFECT for work and more subtle looks! I would wear this for no-makeup makeup.
At my age (52), I am loving all the matte palettes coming out. This would be a great addition to my Mattenificent palette!
I love matte eye shadows! With the many different colors of mettes in this, I think i’ll be more adventurous in trying new looks!
This first colours I would play with would be for sure the purples 🙂
Its perfect for work!
Ahh!! These mattes are BEAUTIFUL. A taupe matte eye…I just love taupe =) Thank you for the giveaway! and all of your hard work otherwise.
I cant even begin to even think about how i can wear this palette but i can see myself reaching for that palette everyday. the colours are perfect for everyday wear, i can make the looks very simply or build it up.
I love neutrals so I’d use this palette everyday!
I would wear a purple smokey eye.
I’d do a neutral day look that I can add some drama too at night by adding one of the darker colors in the crease.
I don’t usually do smokey eyes, but this palette changes everything. I would create a mauvey purple smokey eye, with some warm brown blended on the lower lid!
Oooh… So pretty. I’d do a purple smokey eye with it.
i can’t wait to use all these purples!!
I have the most wrinkily eyes!!
Im 62 and i love trying everything new and follow all the latest blogs in makeup. It seems like everything is shimmer, front and just creates an older look to my face with all the sparkle. I would love to use a complete matte look to enhance hazel eyes. Im looking forward to trying the new tartes palatte so much!! Its exciting to know that mattes are now coming back!! And i love colors not just neutrals!

I meant the word FROST
A matte palette would fit into a whole new niche in my makeup collection! I particularly love the slightly unique middle row- I’d definitely enjoy using the darker two shades in the crease/outer corner in the evenings and the lighter pinky shades in the day time (lightest all over then lid, second lightest in crease)
From what I’ve seen, this is a great quality palette of mattes. I’d wind up using it for work looks and going out looks!
I would use the lighter colors (a blend of the pink hues in the crease and blend into the inner corner, outer, and deepen with with the softer brown colors) to create soft natural looks for the day time and use the darker colors for a smokey cut crease for going out at night. I would pair the first look with a nude color like nyx matte lip cream in Stockholm or velvet teddy by Mac.
Loving that 2nd row! I’d be all over that!
In the autumn, with blazers and as the leafs fall, and during the winter – as the winds blow.
I love matte neutrals, I think it’s so classy! I’d wear a light colour all over my lid and then I’d add a mid tone brown in my crease.
This palette would be so perfect for every day work looks!
I love this palette!
This palette would be great for me to use everyday. I prefer mattes, and this is a nice collection of them, and I have a few other Tarte matte shadows that I like quite well. I see a few colors that I could use to make some nice evening looks as well, and the darker shades I could use as liners. Very nice palette.
I would wear a chocolate smokey eye with this collection. I’ve been seeing a lot of YouTube beauty gurus loving this one 🙂
I received the Vice 3 few days ago, and honestly, I’m finding hard to use it because I don’t have a lot of neutrals mattes to match it! … I wish this palette was still in stock at my Sephora… Wish I could win it, hihi!
This palette would be great to use with shadows that are sparkly to help tone down the shimmer and make them more work friendly. Great to use in the crease
Mattes! I’ve promised myself to buy more mattes to balance out my eyeshadow collection a bit and to be able to make more all-matte looks so this palette would be perfect for that 🙂
omg … thank you Christine for this amazing giveaway … this is a beautiful everyday palette , i think i’d wear it for a neuteal look
I think this would be totally ideal with a Bridal MUA kit! ; )
This would be great for work looks for me!
This would be perfect for traveling. One in one day to night looks in one pallette!
All the ways! I’ve had my eye on this since it was released.
Since all of these shadows are matte and there are a number of mid tones, I think this would be a great palette for a day look when I want something pretty but subdued for going to class!
I would wear these matte neutral shades for a daytime or work look.
I’d wear this as a nice darker smokey eye probably plum based! It looks good!
Love the matte purple toned shades in this palette. I’d use power player all over the lid as a base, intensifying the outer and inner corner with best friend. I’d then put bombshell in the crease and intensify the outer v even further with just a little touch of fashionista. To highlight my brow bone and inner corner I’d use super mom 🙂
i would wear the deep purple for a smoky eye, love it!
I’d wear gold-ish on the lid, burgundy brown in the crease, tan to blow out the crease, creamy white on browbone.
I would do a purple smokey eye with the entire middle row (omggg love those colors!)
A brown and “vieux rose” smockey seems to be the perfect combo
I’d use daily this for an everyday neutral eye.
I would try the first line from left at first! 🙂
I would to a nice smoky eye with colors or do an everyday neutral eye look which I love.
I’ve been stepping up my matte neutral game in the crease and browbone to polish my eyeshadow looks!
Smokey eye is always good.
Is such a versatile palette, I could use it on a daily basis, to make a powerfull look for a night event… Everything really! I would use Best Friend and Bomshell on the crease, to make a dramatic look like I love to do!
i’d wear it simple and elegantly
i would ise thia palette to create everyday looks as well as nigh time ones! I love the colours and i would love to try tarte prosucts sice we don’t have tarte here in Italy
I’d wear the palette as my everyday work look, a natural neutral eye look, with brown or black eyeliner.
I’m not sure how I’d wear the palette as we aren’t lucky enough to have tarte in the UK but sure after 5mins with it I’d have a million looks I would want to experiment with
I’d wear it with Dreams in the crease, Best Friend on the lid, and Bombshell as a liner.
Love it! I’ve been looking for a good all-matte palette for ages. I would use the lighter shades as base shades for other looks, though I could see myself wearing row 2 as a complete look very frequently.
I would love to use this palette on my wedding day!!
😉
on March 09th 😉
I’ve seen a lot of nude matte palettes, but I just love how this one has some great purples! So I would probably start with the middle row 🙂
I’d create a soft smokey eye with the second row. I just love me some warm grey tones!
I would create a nice daytime look for school. I like that it has lots of neutrals and mattes (of course) that are good for wearable looks.
Matte looks are always great for work!
Hi! I’d love to get more into neutral, simple matte eye looks with bright lips!
Neutral eye + purple liner! <3
I would used this one to give more depth to my daily looks
I really like the way this neutral matte palette has light, medium-light, medium-dark, and dark shades of yellowish, pinkish, and beige shades. For each row, I’d use the lightest shade from lashline to eyebrows, contour my crease with the two mid-tone shades, and line my eyes with the darkest shade. Sometimes I would add some shimmery colors to my mobile lids — a bright, shimmery look needs these kinds of neutral mattes to ground it, in my opinion!
With a bold red lipstick!
I’d wear free spirit, care giver, dreamer and bombshell.
Great everyday shades!
I would use this for some job interviews I have coming up! Most of my makeup is too shimmery!
This palette is great for everyday looks for all skin types. I can’t wait to try it and play with it.
I love the shades in this palette. I’d use it for my day/work looks!
I would love to try those matte pastels for a spring look!
A beautiful plum smoky eye. Love the colors in the middle row.
It would compliment all my other palettes.
I would totally rock all these matte nude shades! Look at how gorgeous they are! OMG! I would wear them as a soft smokey eye on a daily basis.
Ooh, nice. I’ve been eying this palette but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I think it’d be a great complement to my more sparkly palettes.
I would try some new spring looks if I won this palette – so ready for spring here in PA!
I would wear it every day!
I love these colors! Especially since they’re matte, I feel like I could use these for my everyday. And tarte makes such great shadows!
The best palette I’ve ever owned was from Tarte! I would love to win this one, I’d probably use it every day!
This would be perfect for easy daytime uni looks, and to transition to nighttime!! I’m all about the matte shadows. Thanks for the giveaway Christine!!!!
I would use the nude color on the lid, a highlighter on the browbone and a purple one in the outher V. And maybe a darker one in the crease.
I would do a plummy smokey eye with Caregiver, Best Friend, and Fashionista.
Amazing palette !
i would use i as a modern subtle day look with a bold lipstick:-)
I’d probably try a smokey eye with the dark purple shades.
This would be a great palette for work– good simple, neutral looks. And if I want to add more drama, I’d incorporate some individual shimmers for bolder looks.
I would wear it everyday, and the fact that it is all mattes would be great for me! I have a bit of excess skin on my lids so shimmers doesn’t fit me that well.
i love doing smokey eyes so this would definitely be a great way to do some matte smokiness :>
This looks like the perfect everyday eyeshadow palette! I’d get most use from the lighter colours for sure. I’d apply the darker colours from the third vertical row in the outer third and crease, and use the darkest shades to create a liner.
My aging eyes LOVE mattes! I’d use EVERY color!
I would use it on daily basis to construct natural looks.
I’d do a matte smokey eye with the eggplant and mauve colors
I’d create a neutral look for work.
I would wear it as an everyday look
I think this would be the PERFECT complement to either the UD Naked 3 Palette or the Lorac Unzipped Palette!
I love, love, love soft cut creases with mattes
I’d play around with it to get mauve-y and earthy smokey eyes! We’ll, I’d try anyway 🙂
I Would wear all the 2nd row colors for that rosy brown look. Then pair it with benefit dandelion blush and kat von d’s bahau5 lipstick.
I’d wear this with power player on the lid, multi tasker on the crease and fashionista on the outer corner.
i think i will use the second row. Caregiver as base, Natural Beauty on the crease, Best Friend on outer v and Bombshell as eyeliner.
The middle row speaks to me! I would create a soft, diffused smokey purple eye with a really smoked out lower lash line and finish with a sharp black wing. The contrast would be so pretty!
I’d love to win this—I would wear it every day for work!
I would use this palette to make day and night looks!
I would make a basic nude look for work and use the darkers colors to turn the daylook into a smokey night look! Ideal for a friday night!
I absolutely love matte shades because you can almost pair them with anything. I could wear this palette with my all-time favorite look which is the all matte smokey eye.
I would love to use this to compliment more shimmery shades. So hard to find nice mattes let alone a whole palette! Gorgeous!
I can definitely see myself incorporating this palette with any look I want to do. All the shades are perfect!
I would make interesting matte smokey eyes with these palette, or maybe go for a more casual everyday look for presentations at the university
I would use the palette to compliment my zillions of beautiful shimmery shades… finally all those shimmer-bomb palettes will have the perfect accompaniment!
Such a pretty palette! I would wear it as an every day palette
I’d use super mom, power player & fashionista to create a cool-toned look! 😀
it looks like the perfect palette to perfect a cut crease with!!
I’d definitely attempt a smokey eye with this palette, but I think it’d be great for everyday’s neutral makeup too!
This would be great for work travel. I often have to do 1-2 day trips for work, this looks compact, totally work appropriate and could still give me a variety of looks. So often I pack super light only to think that I should have taken something else the next morning. This is portable variety I need
I’d like to do a matte smokey eye with the eggplant and mauve colors and as eyeliner prunella by mac
I’d wear this a lot for daytime and work-appropriate type looks. I work in a rather conservative industry, so this would probably be a great go-to palette for me!
Omg you always have the best give aways? Well, I just assume all of them are international (and I really hope so), and you often give away US only items! I’d probably do a dramatic cool toned cut crease with this using the middle row! But it’s very versatile and would be the perfect palette for everyday wear as well!
I would apply my favorite shimmery eyeshadow such as UD sin, toasted, bootycall and defined my crease with that palette, smoke it out 🙂 xx
I would love this palatte to do a nice soft smokey eye for my birthday!
Hi .. 😉 I will love to wear this palette on my 27 th birthday on dinner with my husband.thank you

I have been loving these purple/mauve colors!! I would wear this palette every day! It being all matte makes it very wearable for every dayear use in my opinion. I would love to be able to create looks with this palette!
Great for transitions and a complete matte look!
Ooh I love this palette, it’s difficult to get Tarte in the U.K so I’d love to win it!
I have hooded eyes and find mattes draw less attention to it, so this would definitely be my go to palette daily. I love the middle row – I’d use the light pink shade as a matte brow bone highlight, the beige shade all over the lid, the rosy mauve in the crease and the deep plum as a liner. Cool browns and plums compliment my pale pink toned skin.
I would use it with all my looks, from everyday to smokey.
I would wear everyday looks with this palettes (since mattes are great for everyday!). I would also use it for deeping a simple smokey eye!
This is just the perfect neutral palette, I would wear it so much. I would probably try to incorporate every shade into different looks.
As an obsessive matte fan, this would be a go-to palette for both neutral and dramatic looks. Love it!
Yay! I would love to win this!!! I espcially would love to wear the darker purples! I have been eyeing this for a bit and it is SO pretty!!!
I would LOVE to wear the pale lavender colors in my crease and deepen it up with the dark purple 🙂 Mattes are so great and this would look really good with a shimmery light purple on the lis!
This is such a everyday go to palette! Great for daytime eyewear when I’m at work since they are neutral colors but also for night time when I want a nice smokey eye. They are great colors to compliment my skin tone as well. Plus they are mattes and you can never go wrong with an all matte palette!!!
I’d do a plum smokey eye.
I’ve been wanting to get this palette as soon as I saw it! It’s a beautiful palette for everyday wear! I especially love fashionista, the dark brown! I don’t have a lot of eyeshadows and those I do have are mostly shimmer (I don’t even really like shimmery eyeshadows) so I would love to get this matte palette! Thanks for the giveaway!
Pretty neutrals. Every swatch Ive seen makes me want it more and more. I would wear this every day since thats how I like my makeup. On the soft, neutral side giving you that no makeup/makeup feel.
Hm… I think the same palette enough!
To the good make-up does’t need clothes or other stuff. 🙂
i would use this palette to do a brown smoky eye (my favourite!) i would use dreams all over the lid, multi tasker in the crease and on the outercorner with fashionista added to the outer corner 🙂

I’d love to do a warm, sultry smokey eye with the 2 dark brow shades as transition shades, and the blacky shade as the lid shade. Something very summery and warm, yet dark and tempting 😉
I would do a plummy look with the middle row. Looks lovely!
I’d use this as an every day-palette, the purples and mauves would look great on my green eyes. Combined with the shimmery shades of the Naked3 this would make a wonderful nighttime palette.
I love almost every Tarte product 🙂 And these are great to use as crease colors.
I would use the bottom row: left to right; all over lid, in and above crease, in crease, outer v.
I’d use it for daytime looks
This is the perfect palette because of the versatility! I would use it daily. Plus, I love the names of the eyeshadows!
I have this palette and love it! I use it almost everyday. If I win this palette I would give it to my sister as I just got her addicted to tarte too 🙂
I would wear it on my 40th birthday next weekend!
Perfect for daytime neutral look. I need this palette!
I’d use this as a way to blend or knock down my seriously large collection of shimmery and satin shades to make more sophisticated day looks and smoky eyes.
I’d wear this with everything! Everyday nude lip, dark smoky with vampy lip, classic red lip…everything!
I love this palette, especially the second row is só beautiful. I bet those would be the ones I’d use most.
Definitely a great palette for classes or if i have a meeting. I can deepen any look up with the matte black shade so I can transition to night!
this palette is gorgeous, mattes are my absolute favorite formula eye shadow. I would wear some of the lighter shades all over the lid, and really blend those stunning mauves in the crease and outer corner.
For girls night out!
We can’t get Tarte in Belgium and this would be the PERFECT opportunity to get me some! 😀 I’m also an aspiring MUA, still school for now ^^ love the colors in this palette !
Natural makeup.Love the matte colours and would have fun experimenting 🙂

I would use this all of the time, its a gorgeous matte palette!
This is my first ever entry here, and the first time I have ever wanted a palette… Most palettes are too warm toned, too shimmery or too meh, or too my goodness, a parrot has lost its feathers… No palettes ever matches my weird skin tone of partly neutral partly olive with cooler undertones… But when I saw this palette, my jaw frankly dropped!!! My my my, I want to worship you!!! And then… Typical it is a brand that is pretty impossible to get hold of in my cold northern part of the arctic hemisphere… But Thanks to beautiful Christine and the Temptalia team, I at least now know it exists!!!
Should I be the winner… Well, then that palette would have found its best friend for life…
I love the shades, lots of taupy/purpely undertones, right up my street ! Since these are matte shadows, I’d wear them to work, since you can achieve very sophisticated looks with this palette !
I’d definitely use this palette for wearable, everyday looks – from going to work, to having lunch with friends. I’d also transition it to night, using the dark colors to make my look deeper and smokier. I think it’d be great to play with pinkier nude tones, which I don’t have any of!
I would do a pink soft smoky eye with some purple in it,so basically all the shadows in the middle row.
Such a gorgeous neutral palette! I love the romantic plummy shades! Looks perfect for school in the spring and fall
I’d love to win this palette and use it for everyday matte looks, or create a rich, matte smokey eye!
Great palette! such a shame that it is not selled in the Netherlands!

I’ve never worn pinks on my eyes before, so I’m excited to play around with the pink colors in the palette!
I would love to wear the neutrals on a daily basis, adding a pop of colour in the nights.
It would be my first tarte palette what I own.
This looks like a perfect palette for both day and nights looks. I would wear it for school and then add one of the darker shades on the outer corner for a night out.
I would wear those purple and brown shades together. Create a nice smokey look!
I would wear it as a soft smokey look. Thanks for the giveaway.

There are so many ways I’d use it, it’s such a versatile palette but if i have to choose i would say for a smokey eye or a old hollywood makeup look!
I love the color combination! I think this palette looks perfect for everyday looks 🙂
I actually want to try the black as an eyeliner.
I would mainly use these as crease colors since I have not used a lot of matte shadows on my lid. But I would definitely try them on the lid too… If I won!
I`d wear this palette everyday doing some natural looks.
This looks like the perfect everyday palette. I would wear a nice day look that could easily be smoked up for the evening. It’s so pretty.
I would wear this palette on an everyday basis ! I love matte shadows and I think this palette could creat such a beautiful rosy look that would compliment my green eyes (:
I really love mattes (and Tarte! 😉 and I definitely need more non-shimmery brow and transition colors so I’d wear anything in the first column as a highlight, depending on the other colors I wanted to wear and use the two middle columns as transition shades.
That middle row just calls out to me. I can’t wait to make a pretty purple smokey eye!
