this is a cinematic masterpiece. you’re genuinely providing something different to this space and i love it. it’s like hearing an album for the first time and every song is a bop and nothing is a skip.
1 million percent. This is not only the most helpful and well-done review I've seen on these shadows, but so entertaining and creative at the same time. You're fantastic! ❤🥰
I definitely chose poorly when buying one of these duos 😂 Also, A+++++++++ for the intro and the editing. The beauty space needs this type of energy. Thank you for your service 😂🖤
And I certainly agree, the marketing/promotion for these made it seem like ALL the shadows would be the sparkliest things since sliced bread. And as someone who bought all 5 duos (mind your business) it was a let down to see variations in the formula. I think you conveyed your thoughts extremely well and I will probably watch this video 3 more times
Clapping for the people in the front, the back, in the wings, in the stock rooms…all around world!! Insane that the same formula isn’t in these duos when the formula is the reason for the price.
Omg the intro caught me off guard, got me laughing while trying to do cardio! I so appreciate you killing the mystique of these duos, they really had a hold on me and I've had to wrestle myself into being reasonable ❤
1:50 in and already my mood is boosted like phenomenally so 🥰. Thank you for brightening the day I have spent in bed due to covid! Edit at half an hour in: I can't even begin to imagine how much work must have gone into this video, so thanks again!
You nailed it! They should have been singles and the different formulas should have been advertised as a plus! (And that tiny mirror is useless) People want to know what they are buying AND people will be happier having their expectations match what they actually receive. THANK YOU for pointing out that the PT packaging is so much like the TF but less easy to use because the part over the edge actually raises up as part of the lid unlike the TF. It’s always irritated me because I always forget they open differently from the TF and it gets me every.single.time. 😖I haven’t heard anyone else ever mention this, but it irks me!!
With Patrick Ta being a somewhat newer brand. His pricing is so odd to me. $42 for two shadows but his pallettes cost $70. If all these shades were in a palette it would $210. Let that sink in.
Oh my god, yes! I hate his packaging; the clasp is dumb. I had no interest in these shadows and still don’t, but it doesn’t really matter to me what makeup you’re using/ reviewing. I’m here for your unique thoughts and superb editing. This video is stellar!
The only one that interests me is Still at the Club, but I’m so conflicted about what shadows I have that are ‘dupes’ for it. Some reviews say VB Mink is a dupe, some say it’s warmer. Same with CT Smoky Quartz. Chantecaille Pinto is maybe close in color, but not in sparkle. I know I have something close…but is it close ENOUGH? Drama.
5:37 I’ve already watched this video twice, and it took me longer than I care to admit to realize you swatched all 4 of the shadows in this clip. I genuinely could only see the bottom 2 and was initially soooo confused. Because “Talk to My Team” BARELY shows up. Like excuse me?!? Patrick…be so fucking for real right now, Patrick.
Hiiiii~ Huge fan heeeeere~ 🥰 I think the Viseart point was very apropos! Now while I personally love larger amounts of product offered since I'm a working artist for film/TV (especially if the brand offers a pro discount), I understand I'm not most people. Offering a larger amount AND a smaller amount like Viseart does (they're my favorite matte formula btw lol) is sooo ideal when possible. And when not possible, offering a fair (not too little, not too much) amount for a generally lower price, especially individually, is SO much better for the vast majority of people, even pro artists! We can restock more cheaply as well as restock ONLY the shades we need. Which, Viseart also sells many if not all of their shades individually too, which is just *chef's kiss over and over again*. Patrick just didn't think this through, and that's not even commenting on the different formulas not being stated up front! It's not a HORRIBLE or brand ending launch. The shadows are....fine. But it just wasn't THOUGHT👏🏽 THROUGH👏🏽 lol
I'm obsessed with this fucking video. My obsession has nothing to do with the stupid product. I'm bloody LİVİNG for every creative decision in the making of this video! Just priceless
Finally a review that doesn't just gush and ohh and aaah about the eyeshadows. I love mine, but it's nice to see a person who would review these honestly thoughtfully and thoroughly
I’m so glad you love them! I just wanted people to know where I was coming from on these and what I think of them. They’re definitely gonna be great for some people!
Hard agree about wishing they were singles, had less eyeshadow, and NO MIRROR. All those things would have brought the cost down and made them less outrageous. And after learning from others that they have different levels of sparkle, I was like wtf is he talking about with them being "pure pearl". Also how is that possible, they would be loose pigment then.
TYSM for the in-depth swatch comparisons! The two I was most interested in was “we need better lighting” and “talk to my team”. Because I just knew in my gut that I had the shades in we need better lighting so many times over - in formulas just as good if not better, I decided to take a chance on talk to my team… I don’t think I have EVER returned anything faster in my life lol I picked it up before we had any real swatches so I was only going off the promo stuff but wow was it unremarkable! I compared it in both swatches and on my eyes to my eight-year-old mothership two (the two shades all the way on the right hand side), and they were completely indistinguishable. I feel like the biggest set up for failure from me was when they went over the top justifying the price bc if my expectations were a little lower maybe I wouldn’t have been so disappointed lol I also really can’t stand the packaging! I never hear anyone talk about that but even the blush that I have and like. In Owning it for two years, I still don’t go to open it correctly so thank you for mentioning that! I certainly think that people who don’t have as much makeup as I do will like these, but I was absolutely not impressed!
Talk to my Team is SO disappointing. Especially if you buy more than one you’ll know immediately that it’s the most disappointing one!! And I am fully surprised that I am one of few people talking about how stupid the packaging is
@ I was able to swatch and I feel like they’re definitely better but still below the fantasy they sold about them being so one of a kind! I think that’s what ruined it for me! I wish he just said they’re expensive because they’re great instead of because they’re so unique but I know I’m overly critical when it comes to sparkly things lol
I've heard some people make the argument that "if you think the eyeshadows are too expensive then you don't have to buy them, no one is forcing you to buy them" and I think those kinds of comments are so unhelpful. imo we should always be discerning and question whether the makeup these brands try to sell to us is worth what they're charging instead of just vacantly accepting the price
I agree! I think just accepting things as they are is maybe not the move. Especially when this brand has just decided to up their prices like $20 on their new releases.
I live for your channel. I am glad you did the in depth comparison swatches. Has everyone talked abt them ? Yes, but did i want to see your review? Yes. I also like singles from other brands a bit more than when I compared them in store with ones from my collection just to make sure lol. And I love the story line you added to the video. So cute and fun
The more I see about these shadows the more I'm convinced they have to be seen in a particular light and at a specific angle for them to really shine. And this was the best video I've seen on these, multiple formulas is frustrating and the packaging is just excessive for the sake of it. More videos in the chair pls and thank you. Love this format. Also love the wallpaper.
When you showed the closeup of the sparkle on your eyes it unearthed a memory of when I was in a Christmas choir as a child and how intensely jealous I was of the girls who could afford glitter hairspray. Patrick Ta can keep the pearls he fought mermen for (probably), I am investing in sparkly hair this christmas!
This was so funny and an amazing interpretation of what a review should look like. You're super creative, I'm so glad your channel popped up in my feed!
Loove the comprehensive review, especially the eye swatches! It really captures the finish they're trying to sell. I agree with all of your points, like the packaging. For me they should've made the lid horizontal vs vertical. And yes, they def should've made it a single- they can bank it for sure without the whole drama!
The first time I saw those duos, I thought of the Pat McGrath Astrals, but no one else even mentioned it, so I thought maybe it was totally different. Thanks for the comparisons--I definitely don't need these!
Enjoying this new format/editing so much! I started watching for the detailed, useful, and borderline scientific reviews, but the camp here is downright cinematic.
Not even 3 minutes in and I want to say that I absolutely love the edit on this!!!! I equally love the whole outfit of the video! Back to the rest of the content! Cannot wait to hear your review. ✨
Love the story about the professional discount, wonder how people will go over and try that on the website. It seems to me that the audience would be “Patrick Ta stands”, especially after we do a mental inventory of what we have in our collections.❤ Editing Michele, every time I hear the shade name “at the club” I think of a song by Jennifer Lopez
I bought them on sale, but either way (full price or discounted), I really enjoy them. They are not more expensive than the Charlotte Tilbury Hot Shots or the Chanticaille animal singles - those are even more expensive. High End or Luxury makeup are completely subjective to each person. To me, the issue isn’t the cost, but the performance. And they are very pretty . . . Although they definitely are different formulas!
That jab at NARS was hysterical, pulling a Shangela, I don't own Patrick Ta makeup. I've never liked Patrick Ta makeup. If I wanted to like Patrick Ta make, yes, I probably could go out and buy it because I am what? Sickening! They always looked to me like a cheap version of Tom Ford (which you mention) specially the shade and illuminate palettes (probably the only makeup product I'll ever repurchase if I ever run out of contour products. His whole diatribe on why "This is why my product is superior to all these brands" with high resolution products pictures on screen was tasteless, in a world of several brand price brackets, those who want it, will get it. And when the product doesn't perform as he said it would, Patrick, sweetie baby, where's that super expensive pearl? Out of all the shadows you've shown, I would gladly shelled out the money for the VB lid lustre or even the Chantecaille mono shadows, at least it's giving me lux and the shadows are a lot prettier and consistent. I did bite the bullet and bought the Gucci Highlighter, was it something I absolutely had to have? Not really, but the lilac shade was gorgeous. Unfortunately the pan came off the compact and I am returning it so that they will give me a new one, out of principle because it is expensive, it's a luxe brand and I don't think that in two days the pan is mean to completely slide off, the formula and the colour is gorgeous though and you influenced me to get it. I loved the format of this video Tom, it was hysterical.
I’m sorry that happened to your Gucci highlighter! Mine have been holding up fine, but I did know when they launched they were having issues. And thank you so much
@@hautemesstom It's fine, they're going to replace it with a new one, it's just the laziness of getting a box, putting the DHL label and calling DHL to have the courier pick it up. The cushion foundation, gorgeous, it gives me a very glow finish very much like the Surrat Dew Drop.
This review is absolute perfection and gave me the strength I needed to pass on Still at the Club bc $42 for one sparkly taupe I’m lusting after is not the moment.
bb, this new style is EVERYTHING. every fucking thing!!!!!!! cinematic masterpiece, as i saw other people say in the comments. thank you for your time, energy, style, work. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
i think you're right that these might have worked better as single so you can mix and match your sparkle. the gold one def seems to be closer to what i expected from these.
First of all Tom, you are everything the world needs! Thank you for the honest review about the product. I do have a question have you ever seen or touched the Rabanne eyephoria duos? I saw them on Ulta and they are $25 for 2.
OMG this was the best, most thorough review of the new PT duos. I have watched a lot of videos on these and start to think I want one. TY for bringing me back to reality! Fall out of any sort from an eyeshadow at that price point is outrageous. Sending you lots of love, TY for this, I so appreciate the work that must have gone in to making this video. ❤
Not gonna lie, the taupey duo has my heart and its a perfect low key party duo imo (my go to easy eyeshadow look is a satin crease color and a shimmer or metallic lid). But its a real turnoff one of the shades is more satin when in other duos both are sparkley/pearly. It wouldve made more sense to make all duos with a satiny crease color + sparkley shade for a lower price. Then they couldve been promoted as a full eye look duo too. I wasnt gonna buy it to begin with bc I dont use eyeshadow that often anymore, but if that was the case i would at least be interested
I am obsessed with how you did this video!! I am a new subscriber, I found you through itsjuststeph I am so glad she mentions you as more people need to sub! You do lovely videos!
You look so fabulous. Thanks for the breakdown of value. You could've just given us a little less shadow! Good call, excellent commentary, fantastic lewk. What would we do without you??
I love this presentation so much❤ Nice to see you stretching creatively Really paid off I think this is one of the coolest reviews you’ve done visually (I was not interested in getting duos before so was watching for vibes and vibes are immaculate)
Ok, now that I've watched the video for the content and not just your look: thank you for providing great perspective on these. I feel like you put them into great context, both within the line itself and with what's on the market. So helpful!
It doesn't matter how it's made and if the process is more expensive if it looks the same as things that are made for cheaper. Also what weird marketing as the ingredient list is available to look at and everyone can see it is most definitely not "pure pearl" and that would make for a really bad eyeshadow if it was.
I'm going to continue to remind myself that I don't need that silver/gold duo (which is the one I hear has the best shine). I have PM Mothership 7 with that gold astral shade and Fenty How Many Carats highlighter.
I just started watching and had to pause to say how amazing and creative you are! I wish i had you in my life for help with fashion ,decorating, and more.
It’s so funny! I have EVERY eyeshadow that you have swatched up and down your arm except for the Olivia Palermo. I guess birds of a feather really do flock together. And speaking of birds, my partner’s pet name for me is magpie because of how distracted I am by shiny things 😂
The Patrick Ta eye shadow duos: disappointment. HautemessTom's playing with a different format and adding THE MOST HELPFUL swatch comparisons ever: the house down BOOTS! Lovely to see you and hear your expert opinion! And I'm glad you were sticking it to the man for that discount (ha! so impressive!)
i think im just going to smack the fenty highlighters on my eyelids and call it a day, on top of whatever base shadow i have LOL thank you for your fabulous review, and this is also the first video i saw from you. such a vibe!! im subbing :D
I love the intro! I’m watching on my treadmill so, no, I don’t want to sit down 😂 and I love the HLP book ❤. I definitely have no dog in this $42 shadow fight, but I’m here because you’re just so captivating 🫶🏼

Thank you bb! And how could you have KNOWN he sold them to us and we were 🤡
I love you Theresa!
wait... is this a perfect video... the intro was incredible but also THE SWATCHES AND MULTIPLE LIGHTINGS AND EVERYTHING WAS SO HELPFUL
Oh wow thank you!!
"I applied, and I *lied*"
The delivery is delicious.
💅🏼
$42 and no consistency between any of them 😭😭😭
A mess!
The fact that 4 eyeshadows cost more (84) than a whole-ass pmg mothership palette (on sale usually they are/were like $75 iirc?) is MINDBLOWING to me
Oh yeah! It’s like, and who said that this should be acceptable.
I dont have a horse in this race but thank you for sitting down with us today ❤ love hearing your thoughts on anything and everything
♥️♥️♥️
And I certainly agree, the marketing/promotion for these made it seem like ALL the shadows would be the sparkliest things since sliced bread. And as someone who bought all 5 duos (mind your business) it was a let down to see variations in the formula. I think you conveyed your thoughts extremely well and I will probably watch this video 3 more times
Also I am keeping all of mine… I love a sparkly single/duo I can’t help it. Even if I got got
You aren't the brightest, are you.
Clapping for the people in the front, the back, in the wings, in the stock rooms…all around world!! Insane that the same formula isn’t in these duos when the formula is the reason for the price.
Omg the intro caught me off guard, got me laughing while trying to do cardio! I so appreciate you killing the mystique of these duos, they really had a hold on me and I've had to wrestle myself into being reasonable ❤
I’m glad you had a laugh! Also glad I could add perspective!
“Even NARS can make a topper” okay shade
I’ll throw it
1:50 in and already my mood is boosted like phenomenally so 🥰. Thank you for brightening the day I have spent in bed due to covid!
Edit at half an hour in: I can't even begin to imagine how much work must have gone into this video, so thanks again!
I hope you feel well soon!
Thank you ❤, being very well taken care of by my husband 😊.
You nailed it! They should have been singles and the different formulas should have been advertised as a plus! (And that tiny mirror is useless) People want to know what they are buying AND people will be happier having their expectations match what they actually receive.
THANK YOU for pointing out that the PT packaging is so much like the TF but less easy to use because the part over the edge actually raises up as part of the lid unlike the TF. It’s always irritated me because I always forget they open differently from the TF and it gets me every.single.time. 😖I haven’t heard anyone else ever mention this, but it irks me!!
Right?!? The idea of a duo was SUCH a miss.
And I’m glad I could commiserate about his packaging with everyone. I didn’t realize we weren’t already talking about it.
With Patrick Ta being a somewhat newer brand. His pricing is so odd to me. $42 for two shadows but his pallettes cost $70. If all these shades were in a palette it would $210. Let that sink in.
this is giving nisipisa's barbara skits in the best way. dramatic/cinematic reviews are the wave of the future. love!

Exactly what I thought. Nisipisas Barbara skits were epic and am so here for it Tom ❤️
This is the energy, the style, the editing, the EVERYTHING I'm here for.

@@hautemesstom It's fine, they're going to replace it with a new one, it's just the laziness of getting a box, putting the DHL label and calling DHL to have the courier pick it up.
The cushion foundation, gorgeous, it gives me a very glow finish very much like the Surrat Dew Drop.
THIS IS PURE MAGIC AND ONLY A MINUTE IN!!!! I love this so muchhh
This was a cinematic golden episode ❤ Well written and an excellent performance 👏
Loved the video! The intro, the detail, the shots! ❤
This review is absolute perfection and gave me the strength I needed to pass on Still at the Club bc $42 for one sparkly taupe I’m lusting after is not the moment.
35:37 thank you for the heads up on this! That makes so much sense why my payments have gone up
Yeah of course! I just learned about it because a bunch of people who create on Patreon were talking about it.
bb, this new style is EVERYTHING. every fucking thing!!!!!!! cinematic masterpiece, as i saw other people say in the comments. thank you for your time, energy, style, work. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Omg em thank you so much 😭😭
@ it’s truly so good. so funny and just iconic in a way only you can do!!! and i genuinely appreciate the review too. 💖
i think you're right that these might have worked better as single so you can mix and match your sparkle. the gold one def seems to be closer to what i expected from these.
"You can't run a youtube channel without hope" - this whole thing is spectacular/ you are spectacular! All our love.
Thank you!!
So excited for this review and your thoughts on these!!
I hope you find it helpful!
Your content is so refreshing. You have humor and honestly and it felt like 2 besties hanging out discussing our thoughts on makeup. Love your set up!
Thank you!
This made my week!!! This video was an experience and I’m thrilled that I lived it, saw myself out and didn’t overstay my welcome ❤❤❤
Haha thank you so much Natalia ♥️
I love a TH-cam skit, brings me back to the olden days 😂
You out did yourself with this video! Bravo!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!
First of all Tom, you are everything the world needs! Thank you for the honest review about the product. I do have a question have you ever seen or touched the Rabanne eyephoria duos? I saw them on Ulta and they are $25 for 2.
You always make me smile. Thank You❤️
OMG this was the best, most thorough review of the new PT duos. I have watched a lot of videos on these and start to think I want one. TY for bringing me back to reality! Fall out of any sort from an eyeshadow at that price point is outrageous. Sending you lots of love, TY for this, I so appreciate the work that must have gone in to making this video. ❤
EYE thoroughly enjoyed the style of this video, especially the intro!!!
Not gonna lie, the taupey duo has my heart and its a perfect low key party duo imo (my go to easy eyeshadow look is a satin crease color and a shimmer or metallic lid). But its a real turnoff one of the shades is more satin when in other duos both are sparkley/pearly. It wouldve made more sense to make all duos with a satiny crease color + sparkley shade for a lower price. Then they couldve been promoted as a full eye look duo too. I wasnt gonna buy it to begin with bc I dont use eyeshadow that often anymore, but if that was the case i would at least be interested
I am obsessed with how you did this video!! I am a new subscriber, I found you through itsjuststeph I am so glad she mentions you as more people need to sub! You do lovely videos!
Oh thank you so much! Steph is the best!
You look so fabulous. Thanks for the breakdown of value. You could've just given us a little less shadow! Good call, excellent commentary, fantastic lewk. What would we do without you??
I love this presentation so much❤
Nice to see you stretching creatively
Really paid off
I think this is one of the coolest reviews you’ve done visually (I was not interested in getting duos before so was watching for vibes and vibes are immaculate)
fully invested in the plot and the review- this was an amazing video
Thank you so much 😂♥️
The julia hungry cameo lol. I came here after Hannah mentioned you guys talked about the shadows before she bought one!
Ok, now that I've watched the video for the content and not just your look: thank you for providing great perspective on these. I feel like you put them into great context, both within the line itself and with what's on the market. So helpful!
I was not expecting the intro! I love it ❤❤❤❤
Haha thank you!
Tooooooooom! Amazing video!! Aaaaaaaaaaamaaaaaaazing video. I had a smile on my face the entire time.
Hahahahahs, a pouring rain , dark gloomy day in PDX….was just lightened by HT . Just love you 😀💙
♥️
Best review of these. Thank you!❤
A true masterpiece ✨👏🏻
Thank you 💖🥹
Loved the storytelling! ❤
It doesn't matter how it's made and if the process is more expensive if it looks the same as things that are made for cheaper. Also what weird marketing as the ingredient list is available to look at and everyone can see it is most definitely not "pure pearl" and that would make for a really bad eyeshadow if it was.
The way I talked back to you as though we were in a conversation at the beginning of this video.
😂😂😂
I'm going to continue to remind myself that I don't need that silver/gold duo (which is the one I hear has the best shine). I have PM Mothership 7 with that gold astral shade and Fenty How Many Carats highlighter.
this is a freaking masterpiece
Thank you!
I just started watching and had to pause to say how amazing and creative you are! I wish i had you in my life for help with fashion ,decorating, and more.
Oh wow thank you so much ♥️
It’s so funny! I have EVERY eyeshadow that you have swatched up and down your arm except for the Olivia Palermo. I guess birds of a feather really do flock together. And speaking of birds, my partner’s pet name for me is magpie because of how distracted I am by shiny things 😂
Absolutely awesome video Tom! 🎉
You are brilliant omg ❤
Thank you! 💖
The Patrick Ta eye shadow duos: disappointment. HautemessTom's playing with a different format and adding THE MOST HELPFUL swatch comparisons ever: the house down BOOTS! Lovely to see you and hear your expert opinion! And I'm glad you were sticking it to the man for that discount (ha! so impressive!)
i think im just going to smack the fenty highlighters on my eyelids and call it a day, on top of whatever base shadow i have LOL thank you for your fabulous review, and this is also the first video i saw from you. such a vibe!! im subbing :D
Awesome video!!!! So much fun!!!
When people say "they are doing the lord's work" they are talking about you
Hi, Tom!!! Loved this video, all of it. I’m so glad I didn’t buy any of those duos 😅
Incredible performance piece ❤ Thanks for sharing. This was more argument and more fun than the shadows.
The editing! The story! This was wonderfully done! It made me laugh and also feel like I stopped by for a quick visit to a friend.
Thank you!! ♥️
Thank you for keeping our spirits uplifted during these dark times. 🥰
I love the intro! I’m watching on my treadmill so, no, I don’t want to sit down 😂 and I love the HLP book ❤. I definitely have no dog in this $42 shadow fight, but I’m here because you’re just so captivating 🫶🏼
