tarte Tartelette Amazonian Clay Matte Eyeshadow Palette
Today I’ve got the tarte Tartelette Amazonian Clay Matte Eyeshadow Palette to share with you. This is a healthy, eco chic palette with 12 exclusive all matte eyeshadow shades. I recently featured this palette in my Taylor Swift Bad Blood makeup tutorial. I’ve been blown away by the silky soft eyeshadows in this warm neutral palette, so much that I desperately wish it had a cool-toned cousin. I wouldn’t say no to peachy or true purple tones either.

These eyeshadows are swatched on my bare skin (no primer) using a bdellium 777 brush. Swatching on bare skin drives me crazy.

Watch my Taylor Swift Bad Blood tutorial featuring the Tartelette Palette!
The packaging is awesome. It’s very compact and purple with gold trim. The names are printed under each shade, which I absolutely love. It’s surprisingly lightweight, making it ideal for travel. It’s pretty sturdy too.
The value is great. You’re getting 12 full size eyeshadows for the price of $44. For a comparable rate, 12 full size Urban Decay Eyeshadows (each .05 oz) would cost you $216 while 12 full size MAC refill pans (each .04 oz) would be $120. So no matter how you slice it, the Tartelette palette is a good deal.
As you know, I love mattes for my hooded eyes, specifically to help me fake a crease. So I love seeing an entire palette of mattes, even if there are a ton of brown tones I can’t personally use. I think the quality is really nice.
All of the eyeshadows swatched beautifully. Free Spirit and Super Mom are good for base shades, matte highlighters, or to blend out other colors. Force of Nature and Caregiver would make good lid shades. Power Player is a great transition or crease color. Dreamer, Caregiver, Best Friend and Wanderer would make great crease colors. Fashionista, Bombshell and Multi-Tasker make great liner and accent colors.
I think the second row is supposed to be pinks, mauves and purples, but aside from Caregiver being an obvious pink, the other colors don’t look like that to me. I wish that Natural Beauty did have mauve tones, that Best Friend was more of a blackberry type of color, and that Bombshell was a blackened violet. But, despite the lack of purple tones, they’re nice colors.
If you are a fan of mattes and natural shades, you should definitely check out the Tartelette palette. As you can see from my Bad Blood tutorial, it plays well with shimmery shades and you can pair it with brights, too.
What do you think of the tarte Tartelette palette?
I like all the looks with this palette.
I love what you have done with the eye shadow – especially that grey tone. I would never buy this kind of palette because it is too warm, too brown and too matte for me. But you have created a stunning eye look. Congratulations.
WOW those shadows go on like butter!!!! I have been eyeing the Tartelette Palette for too long. XD I loooooove the look your created! And I love seeing how the shadows applied…wow just wow!!! Agree about the 2nd row (the pink / mauve row) – I wish it was less brown and more pink / mauve / plum tones. OMG Fashionista has to be one of the best matte blacks I’ve ever seen (after watching you apply it in your video)! Super pigmented, even, blends beautifully…PERFECT for cut creases! 😀 Lots of goodness in this palette. Many thanks for the review & awesome look! <3
This palette has been a favorite of mine for a while 😀
I can see why! It’s so versatile
This looks perfect for me and the price is right too!
It’s such a great value for the price
I like that these are such bold neutrals and they appear to apply well!
They do! They have a silky texture
I have been on the hunt for a matte palette for a little while so this is perfect timing. I have terrible hooded eyes, not to mention being *cough, cough* older than middle age. So I “get” that I shouldn’t wear eye shadows that have any shimmer. But they aren’t as easy to find.. I totally respect your opinion and love the look you created too! I’m buying it right now!
I love shimmer on the lid and for the highlight to open up the eyes, and I’m training myself to stick to mattes in the crease to make it more flattering for my eye shape. Happy to help 🙂
It’s great to have a neutral palette like this to use on it’s own or to use with some super fun shimmer shades. Shimmer all over the eye doesn’t work too well for many people. We love your blog and the look you created is super gorgeous!
Thank you so much!
Ooooh! I really like these shades. I’ve been trying to work more mattes into my routine, as well!
I really need mattes on my hood to help me fake a crease
SOLD. I love anything that is matte.
I’m stuck on mattes because of my eye shape
The second row is so misleading shade wise, but these do look like beautiful mattes otherwise.
Agreed!
I’m not a matte lover, but I got this when it came out the first time to round out my collection. I’m so glad I did. It’s my HG matte neutral palette, and one of my favorite palettes in general. I’m wearing the top row today. I never thought I’d be in love with a matte (neutral, no less!) palette, but I am. The shadows are soooo smooth and versatile.
I love that bottom row 😉
The bottom row is my favorite, too. That black is just to die for.
I don’t know why I haven’t picked this up other than the mattes don’t get a lot of attention from me.
I just need the mattes for my hood, I still love shimmer on the lid
This is just a gorgeous palette – and as you say, it’s such a great deal for the price!
Happy you like it too Jessica!
I ordered that this weekend. Found a sale I couldn’t resist.
It’s a great palette, especially on sale!
I’m obsessed with this palette! Did they make this part of the permanent line up? I could have sworn it was LE, and then it sold out everywhere, but now it’s back in stock. Just curious, because I’d so use it in more tutorials if I knew it was readily available to everyone!
I’m honestly not sure! I bought it a few weeks ago.
I justodered this last week and it should be in tomorrow. I am excited to get to play with it. I hadn’t heard anyone talking about it and now here you are with the palette! Great timing!
I hope you love it! I bought it because I have an eyeshadow palette addiction problem and i need more mattes 😛
These colors are gorgeous. I love their products!
I’m definitely impressed with this one Kimberly!
These colors are perfection! I love a matte finish. Gorgeous!
Happy you like them too Mandy!
These look so soft! I kind of wish they had more cool tones in it, but it is such a good deal!
I’m always wanting more cool tones!
I love this palette. It is so easy to wear and I find that the shadows apply and blend better than they swatch. Your eye look featuring these shadows is kickass.
Agreed! And I thought they swatched pretty nicely too
Gorgeous. I need to see how the shades compare to the LE matte palette that I bought from Tarte last year
I would love to know if that one is more cool toned!
Kickass swatches, Courtney! This is such an amazing value, and I love great mattes! Your EOTD is gorgeous!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful swatches! I love, love, love this palette – one of my most used, I think! <3
So excited to hear that Shipra!
“For a comparable rate, 12 full size Urban Decay Eyeshadows (each .05 oz) would cost you $576” — mistype? That would make them $48 each. :/
I mistyped, that should be $216! Sorry for the confusion
