LAST UPDATED: June 22nd, 2021

Launched as a cosmetics company in 1998, Too Faced is known for pioneering fun cosmetics, such as adding glitter to eye shadow. With many of its products becoming best-sellers for over a decade, Too Faced provides mid-market pricing and a wide selection of cosmetics to customers. 

While the company's products are priced higher than drug store cosmetic lines such as L’Oreal and Maybelline, Too Faced has prioritized being cruelty-free and is aligned more with higher-end retail brands such as Sephora and Ulta. Although more expensive products can also be found in the marketplace, Too Faced fills a gap  between cost-effective brands and luxury.

The Good

  • Products Not Tested on Animals 
  • Quality Products with Wide Selection and Availability
  • Top Selling Products for More Than 10 Years
  • Transparent with Customer Reviews Online

Products Not Tested on Animals

Products made by Too Faced are not tested on animals. Too Faced is one of the cosmetics brands that cares about being cruelty-free, which appeals to customers who shop according to their heart, not only the wallet. 

Quality Products with Wide Selection and Availability

Customers will find a wide variety of cosmetics including eyeshadows, foundation, mascara, bronzers, and many others. The packaging is bright, fun, and engaging, and Too Faced has achieved a retail presence both online and in stores like Ulta, Sephora, and others. The instructions and design of the cosmetics are cheeky and modern, and will appeal to a certain personality and age demographic, particularly the young adult/teen segment.

Top Selling Products for More Than 10 Years

Too Faced has a historic winning record of creating products that customers love. For example, the company’s Better Than Sex Mascara, Born This Way Foundation, Chocolate Matte Bronzer, and Melted Lipsticks have been top sellers for more than 10 years. This is a solid product line.

Transparent with Customer Reviews Online

As is common in the cosmetics industry, Too Faced provides a level of transparency to customers by allowing product reviews directly on the company’s website. This means that customers can hold Too Faced accountable, and also champion various products that are loved.

The Bad

  • Mid-to-High Price Range for the Value
  • Customer Complaints Include Shipping Delays, Lack of Response, Damaged Items
  • Comparable Products Can Be Found for Less 

Mid-to-High Price Range for the Value

Too Faced products are typically in the mid to high price range. Eyeshadow palettes range from $20–$50, foundation is $40, and the best-selling mascara is $26. In comparison, drug store prices can range from $4–$12 for eyeshadow, $6–$15 for foundation, and $5–$15 for mascara. Higher-end brands can easily surpass Too Faced’s price range, but perhaps with marginally better quality.

Too Faced has a long history of producing reputable, best-selling products for customers keen on higher quality. 

Customer Complaints Include Shipping Delays, Lack of Response, Damaged Items

Customers have expressed complaints about receiving damaged products, not receiving a full refund, and having trouble contacting customer service. There have also been repeated complaints of delays in shipping and lack of response from customer service. Alienating customers by failing to meet their needs in a timely manner, especially in the social media age where poor reviews can go viral, is an issue for any brand. This is an area where Too Faced could invest in improving.

Comparable Products Can Be Found for Less 

Similar products can be found for a better price. For example, home-based beauty brand Seint can provide a full-face package for between $100–$200, whereas with Too Faced, foundation alone starts at $40. Too Faced is probably not for the ultra cost-conscious consumer, unless you simply want to invest in one or two higher quality items.

The Bottom Line

The budget-conscious customer may want to look elsewhere to brands like ELF, Wet N Wild, or Rimmel. However, for a customer who wants quality makeup from a company with a proven track history of best sellers and cruelty-free values, Too Faced will provide products you can love using in your beauty regimen.

I love their Melted Metallic lipstick. A little on the pricier side (especially at Sephora), but a quick internet search and you can find it for half the price. I especially like the velvet tip; application is easy and precise. Alos, the design helps to clean it from time to time. You also don't need too much. I've had the Jelly metallic for a long time and it has lasted. (you dont need much with each application.)

I really like most of too faced's products! Some of them are hit and miss though. I'v enjoyed attending their events and the vendors are extremely helpful. I wish they made foundation for very, very fair skin tones though.

I have ordered from TooFaced a few times. Neither of my experiences were bad. This last time, however was horrible. I still have not recieved my package, and the customer service is terrible! I still have not been able to contact anybody.

Too faced product is great quality. I use the foundation and concealer and as a black women it matches my skin tone closely if not perfect. The product isn’t cakey which I love.

While Too Faced is a more expensive brand, you definitely get your money’s worth in terms of quality and product selection. The Chocolate Bar pallet is my all time favorite

I love their eye shadow and how they have cards in the kit that tell you what types of combinations you can do with the eye shadow.

Quality product that can be a little pricey. You need to love the product if you are going to pay their prices. It is worth it though!
