💖 ABOUT ME:
Hi, my name is Jen I am 44 and live in Connecticut with my husband and 8 year old son. I am a stay-at-home Mom and full-time CZcamsr with a degree in business with a focus in marketing. Before leaving work when my son was born, I was a commercial lender at a bank. I also worked at Sephora and Macy's doing visual merchandising.
I have dry skin with some hyperpigmentation and fine lines. I love natural makeup looks but occasionally go outside my comfort zone a little bit. On my channel you'll find lots of videos about drugstore makeup and drugstore dupes (those are my favorites to film!) but I also review high-end makeup as well. I hope you enjoy my channel and if you do, please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE & leave me a comment! - Jak na to + styl
I like how u say you are a makeup reviewer rather than "influencer "
I hate the word influencer...it skeeves me out. 😂
@@JenPhelpsbetter to review... influencers are just trying to sell. I have to say, sometimes you get palettes that aren't great on their own, but are good in conjunction with other palettes, or have that one colour that works with other palettes.... so on their own, not great, but still get used.
Great video I agree with you on the PM palette 👍👍
@@JenPhelps ,Maybe de-influence the word 'influencer"? :)
Another youtuber call himself a content creator. I hate the word influencer also
I love that you show swatches whenever you can - they have influenced me more times than I can count! Thanks for all your extra hard work 🌟
Me too! I absolutely love swatches of palettes! Sometimes if I’m feeling a little out of sorts, or in a bad mood.., I sit in my room swatching my favorite shadows! My family thinks it’s a little crazy, but other makeup lovers seem to understand! Lol
@@kristentrep5038I totally get it! 😂 Swatching is so relaxing! I have no friends and always try to talk makeup with my mom and she tries but her eyes just kind of glaze over 😂 I’m so glad for the online community because you guys understand! 🥰
@@kristentrep5038this sounds fun! 😂
Yup I love having a swatch party with me and my makeup collection there’s nothing like it
Thank you for mentioning that darker colors might work better on darker skintones. It always annoys me how a lot of people immediately classify darker colors as 'unwearable on a daily basis' even though those are usually the ones that ARE wearable for people of color.
Excellent point. I'm really pale, so colors that would be too light for most people work well on me. The darker colors...well, I use them on my outer corner, or as eye liner. And sometimes on my brows.
I bought a white shadow from SG during the Christmas in July sale so I could lighten the darker shades. I'm drawn to the darker shades.
Absolutely! Tbh, it's a sign of progress that many palettes are now designed for darker skintones, and not just from BIPOC centered beauty companies. It's good to see a diversity of people loving and hating trendy palettes. I am shocked by how many light skinned white folks profess beliefs of inclusion but flood the reviews with complaints if every single palette isn't for us. I have found some great shades for lightening beautiful shimmers that are just too dark, and mehron or other mixing medium can do wonders to sheer out formulas or mix up custom shades
@@montananerd8244 That's an excellent point. And something I'll keep in mind.
Smoke n Roses is a beautifully curated palette. I love that there’s no pressed glitter or glitter-matte shades in it! And the formulas in it are outstanding.
I have an olive skin color and all of the pallets you like for fall, I dislike. All of my favorites are your least favorites. It is amazing how much our skin tone can affect what is flattering. Maybe we should swap😆😆😆
I have never bought a pat mcgrath palette. Even with a sale, I just can't justify paying that much money for one palette.
She’s definitely a niche kind of brand. I personally love her stuff, and it’s probably the only thing i buy that’s higher end. I won’t buy them unless they’re on sale though.
Agreed. $129 is a lot of money for 10 eye shadows. Also, I agree with Jen on wanting to be able to use one palette for a complete look.
And I want to be able to use ALL of the colors in a palette. I made an exception once for a palette from a favorite brand that was marked way down. (I think it was on final clearance.) It has a dark pink sparkly color that I'll never use. The other colors are matte browns that I do use. It's small and good for travel.
But other than that, I generally don't purchase palettes. The other 2 I own are a 5 shadow Mattes palette from L.A. Colors that I think cost $6. The formula is powdery, but it's not bad for the price. I also own the Smashbox Covershot Palette in Mattes. I like it because it has a mix of warm and cool colors, which is good for travel. And it has bigger pans of the base colors, which is unique.
So so agree. I have a few ( 2 big ones, a 6 pan, and a Christmas collection one …light pink cover). While my fav is the Christmas one, the others are just not extraordinary. Some of these indie brands have formulas that are on par with PMG. I reach for those a lot! Also, sponge tip applicators are sooooo useful with those special shades. One of my mothership has a few shades that are hard pan so that is definitely something I took notice of.
@@jenniferstepps I was at Marshall's yesterday and saw the holiday one. With the red packaging. I didn't like the shades.
The indie brands are just as good
You're right
You have a knack for doing these videos. Your presentations are just so appealing, interesting, and fun! Your skin looks flawless. The Huda Naughty looks gorgeous as do both Colourpop palettes.
Aw thank you so much! :)
As a hooded eye girl i completely agree on needing a light shimmer on the lid! Too many palettes lack a good variety of light shimmer shades. I use highlighters sometimes instead lol
Jen, I don’t know how you keep coming up with such amazing and creative video ideas! I loved this!
So many reviewers raved about Pat McGrath palettes and her formula, so I bought the Divine Rose and one other one when there was a 40% off sale. I wasn't impressed. The special shades were cool, but I struggled to make a complete look with one palette AND honestly thought many indie palettes had equal or better shimmers. I agree with your assessment completely.
I love the Naughty Nudes palette, also, but have actually used the Rose Quartz palette more. Naughty Nude autumn is coming though 😊
😊l
😮❤ That should be really pretty!! (the autumn version)
Totally agree! PMG just isn’t worth it to me. Everyone always says it’s worth it for the special shades but there’s only ever like 1 maybe 2 in a palette - out of 10 shades - that’s not enough to make it worth $129. Plus, compared to Indie quality - no way! I’d rather buy some Indie singles that are way better in shades I know I’ll use than spend PMG for 1 or 2 special ones and mediocre other shades. I LOVE Huda’s formula! The mattes are so easy to work with - pigmented but blend out so easy it takes me no time at all to do a look! The shimmers are always beautiful! I didn’t get Naughty Nudes because I’m not a red toned or warm toned shade person. But I had Retrograde and absolutely loved it and then I got Rose Quartz because I figured it would be a good companion Palette and absolutely love it. Though, I do think it is a companion palette to retrograde in a way, but it also has a lot of similar matte shades in it but not totally so I’m still very happy with it 😂 I do wish she’d come out with a full cool toned palette. I’d be all for that! Rose quartz definitely leaned more cool, which is why I was drawn to it, but still has some warmth to it. A cool toned with cool grays, black, blue, cool purples in her formula would be so nice!!!
I also agree I don’t think there anything special about pat mgrath eyeshadow I own one of her palettes I purchased for £69 don’t reach for it that often have other brands that do amazing eyeshadows for a cheaper price I don’t think the special shades are that special
I agree. I have a palette I bought 50% off and yet I think it was expensive, as I struggle to get a look out of a palette. Besides they always lack mates.
Your favorites are my favorites!! Yay! I was able to “score” the Naughty Nudes pallet at 40% off. LOVE it!! Also, I picked up Smoke and Roses on your recommendation a couple of months ago. LOVE it, too. Between that, Stone Cold Fox, Bare Necessities, Rock Candy, and my Doll 10, I have NO excuse to buy another pallet. Ever. Thanks, Jen!
Lit came looking for this vid...didn show up on my feed so came straight to your channel..here it was 😊
This was super helpful, I keep meaning to order Sigma's Enchanted palette but I'm pale, too, so I would experience the same issues you did. I'd love to see more vids like this, a lot of us have a mental checklist of palettes we keep thinking about buying, even though they came out awhile ago.
Stone Cold Fox is one of favorites too, plenty of flattering combinations in that one
It's so funny how we all are so different yet so similar. I love colorful eyeshadow, but I love watching your channel. You are my favorite channel.
This video has been comforting. I’m in bed, wanted something relaxing and your video felt like pre - 2017🥹 thank you xo
Stone Cold Fox is in my top 5. It contains my all time favorite shadow - Magnetic Moon. You barely touch it and you can cover both eyes - so pigmented.
I wasn't surprised to see the Profusion palettes. You introduced me to them and I'm glad you did.
I have Huda Beauty Naughty Nudes but I prefer Mercury Retrograde and Rose Quartz. They aren't as deep.
My #1 palette is Sydney Grace and Mel Thompson Tiny Marvels palette. It has one of my favorite kind of duochromes - the reddish green shade called Scarab. I notice that I am drawn to duochromes that look like that. I have to keep reminding myself that I already own it.
Great video. I love these types of videos that get us thinking about most used vs. least used palettes in our collection. I know you have a lot of palettes but I'd love to see your top 10 or 20 palettes of all time. I had to expand mine to top 30 because I couldn't decide.
I just bought an older pallet, Colourpop “It’s a Mood.” I am really excited about it. I love your work, Jen. Your non biased reviews definitely inspire me.
Ooh I love that one!
You just reminded me I have the Viseart Dark Edit palette 😂 I have to use it this Fall!
I automatically rule out palettes with only medium to dark colours these days. I have to put a lighter colour on my lid otherwise I just seem to look v tired! Emma x
Oh I couldn’t agree more about Pat McGrath eyeshadows! (And everything else PM to be honest!) The quality is just not worth the price! And all of the palettes look so similar, it’s difficult to tell them apart 😳 I’d rather Colourpop any day!
I bought one PM palette, and to be honest I was so underwhelmed for the price, but even if it had been 1/10 of the price, it’s still not one I reach for.
And Jen, as always, thank you so much for not only talking about which palettes you regret buying, but recommending palettes you DO reach for. I have the Colourpop palettes, and LOVE them too.
Another great review video 🎯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gosh I just love your videos so much Jen, thank you so much for your wonderful videos ❤❤❤
I am totally in the minority but I am so over most palettes. There are very few new ones that interest me enough to buy them, so I just enjoy my little stack that I already have and my growing singles collection which I can use to build my own quads etc. That said I did just buy the new Nomad palette, it's the first one I have bought in a year and a half and I really like it so it was worth it. Needless to say I am good with eyeshadows now for quite a while. Fun video!
I got the Nomad palette too! It's the most interesting color story I've seen in a while!
@@JenPhelps Cool! I hope you are liking it! And yes, it is a unique color story, cool toned muted colors, sign me up! I would be interested in your thoughts if you decide to do a video on it! 😁
I agree. I find i don’t use most of the shades in a palette, don’t use mid tones because of my eye shape, and I really don’t like metallics and heavy shimmers. I have taken apart my palettes and just saved the pans I use, and like you, am enjoying the colors curated by the person who knows me best: me!
Is Nomad the brand or the name of a palette, and if so, which brand? (I need to get out more…lol!)
@@lesliehatch-herman9325Nomad Cosmetics is the brand. Ghost Town USA is the name of their newest eyeshadow palette. It looks gorgeous!!
I'm glad you're doing better now Jen. ❤ my palette regrets are all Juvias Place. I love pink Sigma palette!
Do u mind sharing why are they regrets?
Is be interested in knowing the reasons too!
I'm not a fan of Juvia's Place formula of her pallets either. Now her liquid blush and her partner blush and her lip products are phenomenal!
@kittykittysoftpaws I find that the drier formula of the matte shadows are hard to blend. It's probably just me though as most people seem to do well with their palettes. Also, and this is no fault of Juvias Place, I find I have to reach of other palettes that have lighter colors before using JV to put in my crease, I usually just use JV to darken the outer V. And I just don't seem to gravitate towards their palette.
I gave away my first Juvia’s Place palette years ago, the pigmentation was not there for me. Bought a different one a year ago for the pops of color, they’re a little better but take a lot of work to build up. Did I learn my lesson? Nope - picked up the coffee shop palette during Ulta’s 72-hour sale. Still working with it - but so far, one of the dark shades blends away to nothing & lighter shades take a lot of work to show up. Won’t get any more!! 🙄🤦🏽♀️😱
Your videos are always so thoughtful and thorough. I so enjoy them. Thank you, Jen.
Great idea for a video! I was really into this and appreciated your honesty!
I love this idea for a video and I think you often come up with great video ideas. Thanks!
I've been doing a lot of decluttering lately. My most used palettes are the Milani Soft and sultry , so expired but is fine. I can't seem to let it go 😭 I dread the day that it stops performing well. I've got quite a few high end palettes but the old drugstore palette has my heart!
I still love my Soft & Sultry too! I haven't used it in a while but it's SO good! I miss that formula.
You are one of the makeup youtubers I always watch for eyeshadow collections and swatches. I love how thorough you are
Jen,
I cannot wait to try that Profusion Harvest palette! Love the doll palette and your brushes.
Thanks Jen
This was good. I agree with your first 5 being ones you don't use. I do have the Sigma small 5 pan enchanted palette, which I feel is better than the larger one. I have the original doll 10 palette which is great. And I have Hudas naughty nudes. Love that one, too. ❤ good explanations as always
😊
Thanks Najette! I have the mini Sigma Enchanted and I agree, I like it better also!
This was fun! I need to pull out some of these palettes and show them some love, for sure. Also going to go watch that Large Palettes video right now! Thanks Jen, have a great weekend!
Oh this was the best! Absolutely drooling over them, even the ones that aren't your favorites; I'd try them all. Thanks for doing this!!
I'm so very grateful that you're here !
Thank you for your honest review Jen! Truly appreciate your honesty and your detailed explanation as to why you thought a specific palette was worth it or not.
I did go back to watch the old video,it was tremendously helpful thank you Jen❤.
Hope you can make an updated vid on how to maximise the use of LARGE palettes using CP Smoke n Roses.❤
Thank you Jen🙏🏻
How many eye looks can you get from one CP mega palette?!
Thank you for digging into these palettes more deeply! And, of course, for the best swatches on all of social media!
Thanks, Jen, what an interesting and fun video! I really appreciate your views on some of those higher end palettes. I've been on the fence about some of them, but I think I would have the same thoughts on them that you do, since I have a very similar coloring to you and I also have hooded eyes. The Doll 10 palette reminds me of the Profusion Nudes palette (that I bought because of your review, lol - and I love it and reach for it all the time).
Love, love this video and you. Colorpop is awesome! You are the best!!
Love this video! I like hearing what reviewers actually love and reach for in their collections rather then just saying they love it and then never using it again. I want to do this video myself!
Excellent video. Thank you for explaining your reasoning behind your likes and dislikes. Makes me realize why I've gifted so many of the expensive pallets I've purchased and armed me with a good plan for moving forward. Love it! And I'm really eyeing up that Doll Squad 2.0 pallet. 💖
I love your channel. By far my favorite beauty CZcamsr. We are around the same age, have dryer skin, same exact sing tone and love sparkles. Only difference is I like colorfulness to go with my sparkles. Angelica Nyqvist for my colorful side but you are definitely my go to for everything else! Thanks for doing such a great job!!!
I often use the Pat McGrath palettes for one/two shadow looks. My favorite palette changes all the time. For a time, my favorite palette was Bronze Seduction V. Right now, I am into Subliminal I.
Love this video. Thanks for sharing!!
I really enjoyed this video 💖!
Yay! You posted just in time for me watch while I eat my dinner!
Great video. Loved it❤!
Your video are always thoughtful and straightforward❤. Thank you for showing us the swatch and palette comparison as always. Btw, can you advise the eyeshadow you used in this video, it’s so gorgeous 🎉
Hi Jen! I just picked up the Stone Cold Fox. Love the colors. Thank you.
Always happy to see a new video from you! I agree about the Pay McGrath palettes. I won’t buy another. You also reminded me to pull out the profusion palettes! I bought them on ur recommendation.
The naughty nude looks so so good on you!!! I love that palette too! Naughty nude and rose quartz are my favorite large huda palettes! Oh and I agree with you on the abh rose metals that I wish it had a darker matte too. But, it’s still one of my faves.
Yeah completely agree about not grabbing other palettes or single shadows when using a palette. But sometimes I do have a single black/dark brown shadow handy for those palettes that don’t have something dark enough but I paid too much for hahaha
You are making such an important point about a palette having the right tones and number of mattes to create depth in the transition area. This makes the now discontinued (and panned) UD mini Bailout, CT Pillow Talk and ND Biba my favourite palettes. The mattes are why I decluttered ND Glam and why I won’t be buying I need a Nude. I also decluttered 2 PML 6 pans. So beautiful to look at and worked beautifully but deep and smoky. My mature hooded eyes look best with a lighter lid too and my new favourite everyday look is a mix of single cream and powder shadows and I’m loving eyeliner again.
I love that some cosmetics companies are creating a palette in fair and a version in deep. What I need for transition shade is different from what someone else needs.
Good idea for a video, Jen! It was good to see what you like and don't like and why. I have brown eyes and my favorite palettes I use a lot are the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude, the Milani Whiskep Business, BK Beauty's palette, Colourpop's Quartz, and Natasha Denona's Retro Glam for a punch of color.
Jen, another winner video!I don’t have any of the palettes you discussed, but I 100% agree with comments on Pat McGrath. I only have two quads, and both I got on sale. The price is just too much… love your ethereal golden background with candles, greens etc.
Hi Jen, I hope all is going well with your health. I have to say that I love the Profusion Harvest palette and I did not get it when it came out, I was hesitent because I don't always have the best of luck with their products. I was happy to see that they have a website and with your recommendation I put it in my cart! Thanks!💚
Thank you Cindy, I'm doing great...no more cancer! :) I'm so glad you like the Profusion palette too! I don't always love their palettes but these were special.
Great video Jen! This seems like an original idea too.
Since buying that Doll10 2.0 pallet, it’s the one I reach for the most vs my ND pallets, another great video, I so look forward to your videos.❤
Their palettes seem like really good bang for your buck
@@FourJaysFour and no glitter fallout, yes please
I keep that stone cold fox pallet in my cart at ULTA and I’ve almost bought it 10 times lol!!! Ugh it’s so pretty 🤍🤎🖤🤍🤎🖤🤍🤎🖤
I love how dark Dark Edit gets. Its always so interesting to see everyones different preferences for eyeshadows and makeup 😊
Also Divine Rose I broke my heart. That duochrome doesn't shift AT ALL on my eyelids yet it swatched so beautifully 😢
Love your picks!!
Loved this video idea! ❤
Sigma is my #1 favorite formula. I have all the big palettes except Stephanie’s colab. Enchanted is one of my favs. The consistency of all Sigmas is perfection ❤❤
Viseart palettes are easy to remove the pans and rearrange them, so i think they're meant to be used to built a custom palette from dark edit, light edit etc
That’s what I do, and the way Jen feels about her Doll 10 is the way I feel about Viseart.
I've been thinking of using Viseart to BYOP. Mac isn't so great. Makeup Geek is gone. Sydney Grace is amazing but I can't find enough cool tones.
Fun video to watch! 😊
I love watching you. You have a beautiful review. I am olive light and green eyes. the pallets you showed are exactly my colors!!! I wasn't a a huge fan of cool tones, However the Stone cold is great. I am not always a pink person. I decluttered my Tarte too. It was hard to work with for me.
Oh man I wish bought the ColourPop Good Sport palette!
Ha! I have a few PMG palettes and I have to confess I rarely reach for them! I have to ask myself this holiday season if I will buy another one and then just…leave it alone or maybe not buy it. I will probably just not buy it.
You reminded me I have to pull out my Stone Cold Fox and Somke and Roses palettes!
You sold me on the Huda Naughty palette! I am getting it next sale!
You looked so lovely! Fun video❤
Oh I'm a hugee PMG lover! I love her motherships: the formula, color selection, the way the transformative topper shades can alter a look completely... bliss!
Having said that, I have never purchased her palettes full price, always in sale.
Jen!! Love this video idea! So FUN! I NEVER use any of my Pat McGrath and it’s so sad because they are so much money and everyone says how awesome they are. I had to convince myself not to buy the new one! I still had the ABH Rose metals on my list so I am so glad you don’t agree lol because now I know I won’t like it either! Thanks to you I bought both the Doll 10 eyeshadow palettes and I love them. Huda Naughty nudes is my favorite fall palette! Awesome video Jen 🩷
Maybe you could combine one of the deep/smokey palettes you don't use with the Pat McGrath Divine Rose so you could actually get your money's worth? A palette is a curation of colors based on how one person likes to do their eye makeup. Sure it's more convenient to only need 1 palette, but there's no need to limit yourself based on someone else's makeup preferences.
Great idea for a video! 💜
Jen, loved this video. TY! But i couldn’t stop staring at your 💅🏽 What polish(es) are you wearing?
I do like the Viseart Dark Edit one. I like to put a dark color on the lid, and the mattes in that one are really good. I usually have to use a different palette with it for the transition shade.
I loved this video!!!! Fun to see other people’s opinions! The pat palette, did you try just packing the deep shade on and very lightly blending only the edges to keep depth? I’m guessing you probably have. That dark shade actually surprised me, I was expecting this palette to be way too light for me. I wasn’t going to get it but decided to give it a try on sale. And it surprised me that it can get deep. Deeper than I expected anyway. And I’m with you, I always need a dark outer corner. But this one seemed to work well for me, sorry it didn’t for you!
And the ABH palette…. Everyone talks about loving the nouveaux palette so much, I didn’t like nouveaux but absolutely love rose metals, lol! I enjoyed your opinions, even though some are different.
I agree with you about the Doll Squad 2.0 palette. Thank you for suggesting it.
I also have the Smoke n Roses palette and I love it, it’s my pinky girl dream come true. And if I hadn’t the Going Coconuts and ND Glam palettes I’d definitely buy the Stone Cold Fox.
My only regret is the Colourpop Coast to Coral palette. It’s beautiful but the oranges are too deep and bright for my liking and I only use this palette on summer. I much prefer the Colourpop Sweet Talk one, I find it much more versatile for spring and summer
I believe the Colourpop large palettes have the best Colourpop formula...
Your eyebrows look great in this video! :) ❤
The rose metals Palette is on my list of duds too.
Thanks for a great vid 🤩
Loved this ! Anastasia Rose Metals one of my most used. 😊
Colourpop is my favorite brand from few years and this 2 pallets i also have and so many beautiful looks you can create 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Great video I love eye shadow palettes!
I love playing with my make up so for some of the palettes you said don’t have enough matt colors, I just pull another palette that has what I need. I actually enjoy all of the palettes you said you don’t use with the exception of the Sigma one because I don’t have it. Thank you for sharing.
The Enchanted palette is one of my favourite ones in my collection, but I do reach for other palettes for transition shades. My collection is quite small so that's no issue for me. The green topper can be equally sheer as the pink/purple one. Loved the video and the thoroughness with your thoughts.
Luv my profusion harvest, n ethereal palettes!! Everytime I wear eyeshadow from them I get compliments!!!😊❤❤
You’ve got me tempted to buy the doll10 palette! I wear neutrals a lot and I like using talc free formulas.
Speaking of Viseart palettes…I just got the little Lilas 4-pan palette, and it’s soooo pretty! It’s on the cool side and looks good on my fair/fish-belly white skin tone 😂
Hi Jen, Patrick Ta palettes are the only high end palettes I buy and I do like Two Faced palettes too. I don't have any of the palettes you don't use and I am so glad. I love Colourpop Stone Cold and I have lots of their palettes large and small. I am so thankful for all you do for us Jen because your videos are very helpful to me. Alter Ego I like and Doll 10 and your brushes of course. Thank you so much and I enjoyed this video so much too Jen. 💗❤🥀💐🌺🪴
I 100% agree with the least used palettes!! I feel the exact same, in fact, I didn’t even pick up that Anastasia palette because I could tell I wouldn’t use it.
Smoke n Roses is one of my very fav palettes!!!💗
❤👍great idea for a video! I have some palettes like that- it’s useful to think through why so I don’t repurchase another similar product. The PMG stayed on my wish list long enough for me to realize that I wouldn’t get the use out of it to justify the cost.
My regrets- Charlotte Tilbury big 12 pan Pillow Talk- too orange and red on me. A few more but that was the most expensive mistake. I love the PT quad- but it’s not as flat out orange.
I bought that CT palette too and to me, it was that all the shades were just too similar. No matter what shade you used, you would wound up with a similar, onedimensional, pinky look. I returned that one.
I want that Profusion Ethereal palette so bad. It looks so good, but I keep freaking forgetting about it lol. I have the Profusion Mirage palette, I keep sitting out constantly, because I’m always grabbing shades from it for my looks. The formula is pretty darn good! 😊
First of all...I hereby acknowledge both my own and your (Jen) addiction to eyeshadow palettes!! I have waaay too many. But thanks what's crappy before we waste our $$!
Jen I love both of those pallets the smokin rose pallet and the stone cold fox I use them everyday for my eye looks .
Beautiful Jen. I like aquagreen and mauve eyeshadow can you do a video about it.
The Doll 10 palette is so well done! that it has a matte and shimmer highlighter shade, multiple undertone transitions, matching darker shades and a darker mid tone shimmer. majority of palettes sold don't. I've been thinking since last fall to invest in CP mega palettes and declutter redundant palettes. I could easily create smaller palettes with the removable pans. The only thing holding me back is feeling silly & guilty having bought so many palettes already 😶😅 but on a daily basis I am juggling 3 to
5 different palettes to find all the shimmers and mattes in the right depth and undertone to make a cohesive look. I'm very fair and neutral... Differences in undertone and depth others say are the same show up clearly on me
2023 seems like people are speaking out about PML finally hahaha. I decluttered 2 motherships and all complexion products. Kept the blushes and holiday quints.
I love the stone cold fox palate!!
Thanks Jen I have to agree with you
Some palettes are just not worth the money I’ve just got the nee ND & I must admit it’s one of her best as it has everything you need in a palette 💜
I love this kind of videos by you, I agree with almost everything! As for the matte neutrals, I like “the classic matte palette” by Kylie Cosmetics: its super affordable - only 33$, the quality is decent and I like the variety of its shades. She also has the bronze and the mauve palette from the same line with shimmers and the mini-versions of them, I highly recommend you to try either of them! ❤
I wonder if CColor or AlterEgo have dupes?
