Tarte Swamp Queen Palette Review
Today I’m sharing my Tarte Swamp Queen Palette Review, swatches video and looks with you. I bought this palette earlier this year, along with the Texas Toast lipstick. Since the palette is available today at Tarte and QVC, I thought you might like a review.
Tarte Swamp Queen Palette Review
This palette is cruelty free and made in the USA.
Swamp Queen Palette Swatches
I swatched these on Too Faced Shadow Insurance primer with the Urban Decay Iconic eyeshadow brush.
#SFS
rose gold
Rose gold metallic. Pretty lid shade.
Natural Peaches
peachy nude
Peachy nude matte. Great transition color.
Dogman
burnt sienna
Burnt orange matte with gold shimmer, has a lot of fall out.
Big Baby
cream
Light yellow beige matte.
Sassy Bun
copper peach
Metallic golden copper.
Sippy Sippy
glittery brown
Deep warm brown with tons of glitter. Tons of fallout.
Uncommon
purple slate
Light medium purple taupe satin. Really only a hint of purple.
Haunting
lavender
Light purple taupe. Really only a hint of purple.
Mancat
deep plum
This is a deep brown with plum undertones. It’s actually slightly more purple than what you see here.
Does This Thing Really Work?
Pinky plummy blush with golden sparkle.
Gator Wings
Chunky yellow gold highlighter. Too dark for my skintone. Highlighters are supposed to be paler than your skin, not deeper.
Sweet Tea
Super orangey brown contour with gold glitter. Doesn’t work on me. Can possibly be used as a transitional eyeshadow shade.

Swamp Queen Video Review
If you like this review, please share it!
In my video I talk about the pros and cons of this palette. Overall, I think this palette is best suited for those who like warm neutral palettes, are interested in dipping their toes into subtle purples, and don’t mind glitter. I do think the glitter fallout is so bad because of the thin eyeshadow formula.
What do you think of the Tarte Swamp Queen Palette?

Hi. Just got this palette
I can’t be the only one who doesn’t like it
The colors make me look tired or sick or both
The glitter is awful. Fallout is a lot
I spend more time fixing my face using this palette and not getting on the road for work lol
Like I said above and in the video ‘I do think the glitter fallout is so bad because of the thin eyeshadow formula.’ Other brands that have glitter in their eyeshadows have a thicker / buttery formula that the glitter sticks to. The Tarte eyeshadow formula is thin so glitter doesn’t adhere to it. You need a sticky base to keep it from having fallout.
That is such a pretty palette! I love Texas Toast, and think that I will pick that up!
I didn’t think I cared for the shades, but seeing them swathced/used has changed my mind. i love those lip colours.
This is a lovely palette!
It’s a beautiful eyeshadow palette! I like the looks you did
I think some of the colors are very pretty but it’s not suited to my skintone. I’m sure though that people who love warm shades will go nuts over this.
This is a pretty palette but I am going to avoid the frenzy on this one.
I stalked Sephora when this first came out and missed it. Looks like I better hurry and try again. The palette is gorgeous with the exception of that fallout shade.
I love the Texas Toast lip color. The shades in the palette are too warm for my taste though.
This is such a gorgeous palette, completely my kind of shades. I would love it. Do you know why they call it The Swamp Queen? I assume it’s based on a book, movie, song, or video game but I don’t know it.
Probably because Bunny (Grav3yardGirl) has the Swamp Family, so she’s the Swamp Queen.
