Those brands understand that in the end of the day, loyalty is what makes or breaks a company; send some products was cheap next to all the people that learned about it first hand from your friend or second hand like your comment - we like to buy from places that actually seem to care.

One factor that really contributed to deteriorating interest, at leat imo, is the fact that there is nothing high quality about their products, especially the eyeshadow. To me, the name too faced is synonymous with shitty, overpriced Christmas edition eyeshadow palettes that are pretty much the same every year, and completely rely on fomo and overtly sweet scent. The Nikki tutorials and rich lives matter situation was really only the nail in the coffin for me

I used to buy a lot from Too Faced before the pandemic and I was a 35 year old woman. I especially love their foundations. Peach Perfect was one of the best foundations I've used throughout the years. The Born This Way series was very nice as well. I start losing interest in this brand after they discontinued some of their best products, and they are pumping too many products at once with average or even subpar quality. There's just an information overload for makeup enthusiasts. After the pandemic, people are getting tired of the "fast fashion" strategy that some makeup brands adopt. Colourpop probably faced the same problem as well.

That was such a wild ride it could easily be a video all of its own

Good analysis. I would like to add that besides the scandals critically to a lot of consumers (outside of KZread or the media focused)is that the quality has drastically decreased over recent years. Meanwhile similarly priced competitors like ABH have reformulated and driven greater demand. Too Faced charges the same prices but it is now less pigmented, cardboard packaging (which although sustainable is seen negatively by a lot of people) and similar colour stories. Even as late as the gingerbread extra spicy and pumpkin slice palettes they were selling out quickly in my country as the pigment was good (not comparable to luxury but solid) and interesting colours. So scandals, quality decreases at the same price, less favourable reviews and changing interests of the target audience (who don’t want fragrance cutesy products) are all impacting on the brand.

She would’ve been better advised to get a lawyer to look it over, but of course, there’s no way for her to have known that she should have done that, or expect that she was being taken for granted.

They’ve got two routes they could go down, they could go down the more adult, cheeky sexual packaging that they have had half their products in, or they could go specifically down the cute packaging route and do a young audience. The reason why it hasn’t really been working is because they haven’t solidified who is their target market, and so their product became confused, if they can sort that out, they will do wonders

I used to be a Too Faced stan….In fact, my very first eyeshadow palette was the Chocolate Bon Bons palette. I ended up throwing it out recently because I haven’t used it since 2017….but pretty much most of my makeup collection consists of Too Faced. I have the Chocolate Bar palette, Sweet Peach Palette, Just Peachy Mattes palette, Gingerbread palette, Chocolate Gold palette, as well as their 2016 Christmas in NYC palettes (3 mini eyeshadow palettes: Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread, and one other palette) and it came with a mini Better Than Sex mascara in a cute packaging. I even had their mascara melt off which I loved, full size BTS mascara, Hangover primer and setting spray, Lip injection gloss although…..it never worked for me, and I had their Melted liquid lipstick that came in a squeeze tube, with a plush applicator. So just by me listing all the products that I had and still have from them…..it’s obvious that I was a stan. I stopped using their products after a while, with the exceptions of the Chocolate Bar palette, Chocolate Gold palette, and Gingerbread palette. I feel like they haven’t had any new, and creative product launches and I think that’s why they came out with the Ethereal concealer part of their Born This Way line…..they know that they’re not as big and popular as they used to be, and are trying to figure out a way to save themselves. I guess that’s why they kept holding onto hope with the Born This Way collection since it’s their best seller.

Oh my gosh, if you haven’t used it all since 2017, I should hope it all away, that has got to be passed its sell by date really bad 🤣😂🤣 Also, the BTS mascara, for a second I fully thought you were talking about BTS the brand and I thought I missed something really funny

I'm actually a little surprised... I always thought Too Faced quality was crap, and their font looked like the one script font in your word processing program. I assumed the selling point was the fabulous coordinated packaging. I did like the idea of the chocolate bronzer, thought it was clever, but I was very turned off by their claims that the chocolate had anti-oxidant properties. So many people are aware that chocolate in most make up and skin care is refined to a point where any anti-oxidant properties are removed. They didn't have to say that, they could have just focused on the clever palette and yummy smell, but they had to take it too far. I like that they built the company from scratch, but it didn't fit my aesthetic and the quality wasn't stand-out enough to try it so Too Faced was always a hard pass for me.

I remember 11 years go, I was still in high school and I would go to Sephora with my bestie and try Lip injection gloss for the first time. The saleswoman gave me a little brush to try it on without any warning and my lips hurt as hell. I was so scared to put it on again, but my bff was addicted to the plumping effect

I could probably give up all their products because I can't say that they are WOW products, I'm just used to them. The only thing I would definitely continue to use is Better than sex mascara. I have tried many different ones and this is still the best for me.

That better than sex mascara was the best selling mascara on the market, it has to be for a reason

This dog and pony show is ending. Like previously mentioned, their line has very little diversity and even in the face of other companies outdoing them with palettes and lip plumper they continue to offer their scorching Lip Injection and muddy bronzers. Shame on them for the MULTIPLE things they did to NikkiTutorials. Also, please note they were NOT the first brand to offer an all-in-one palette. Plenty of companies were doing this in the 70’s , I know this bc my mother had them. Her favorite was made by Merle Norman.

Its amazing how a reputation can ruin a business so much really

The 90s were an amazing time in the beauty industry. MAC and Bobbi Brown went mainstream bringing professional colour principles to beauty counter, and Too Faced, Urban Decay, Stila and Hard Candy made make-up cutting edge and alternative, in a jump from the department store staid "ladies who lunch" brands. Those brands may now be very changed, or gone from the market entirely, but in their heyday they were truly ground-breaking.

This is so funny bcs I just got almost exactly the opposite comment on my fashion channel, they said 90s minimal make up took away the 80s and 2010s decadent make-up. I think youre referring to the late 2000s-2010s with Mac, US and TF, but youre very very right it was an incredible time in make up, people really went for it. But interestingly, now that ifs all minimal, the industry is bigger than ever, sales are higher, spend is higher, its very interesting

Seemingly, it’s all the old formulas that are still doing well, but, that’s of course a depleting amount because they keep discontinuing them

When Too Faced was brand new, no one could touch them. Sephora and QVC brought them to the masses. In my opinion, they could bring the entire brand back if they go back to the original logos, products and packaging. Tired of my makeup smelling like sugar. Best products were the home base cream eyeshadow and the loose glitter you could dab on, I had it in the shade “pussy galore”. Makeup was better in 2001 ❤😂

What do you mean the Too Faced Quickie palette had "for the first time ever included several different products within the one palette - a concept never attempted before"? Palettes with eyeshadows, blushes, and lip stick/lipgloss pans had been around for decades before Too Faced. I had one from Charlie in 1980, when the perfume brand branched out into cosmetics, and some from other brands back in the 1970's.
