The Palette Tag: All About My Eyeshadow Palettes

 

 

The ‘All About My Eyeshadow Palettes/Palette Tag’ has been featuring on so many YouTube pages recently and was originally a collaboration video between Allie Glines (you can see her video here) and Samantha March (you can see her video here).  For the tag, you answer 13 different questions about your eyeshadow palettes. 

As someone who loves eyeshadow, I thought it would be fun to feature my choices for the tag too.  I’ve given links to posts on particular palettes and also look ideas using those palettes.

I’ve found it really interesting seeing other people’s choices, as the tag gives me a sense for the make-up preferences and styles of each person.  Some people focus more on neutral picks, some are colour fiends and others (like me) like a bit of everything.  I think it’s actually quite a helpful way to find out if the person’s make-up style matches your own, if it is different to yours and what inspires you.

I’ve pasted the questions at the end of the post, so feel free to let me know your answers in the comments section below.  It’s always nice to get to know more about readers too :o) .

For this look, I used shades from the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette to create a soft, plummy effect on the eyes.

Note: I used the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and the brush that comes with it to create this look.  You can use any brand of eyeshadow you like which has similar shades to re-create this look (if you don’t have the Naked 3 palette), along with any similar brushes in your kit.

For this look, I used neutral shades of pink eyeshadow to create a fresh and polished effect on the eyes.  Using pale shimmery pinks on the eyes is a good way to introduce a little colour to your routine without deviating too much from a neutral spectrum.  Pale pinks can also be very brightening on the eyes – perfect for days when you might be feeling a little tired.

Tip: This look is neutral enough that you can pair it with other lip colours.  Plums, burgundies and brighter pinks would add an extra surge of colour to this look and take it from day-time to night-time chic.

For this look, I created a soft, wide-awake effect on the eyes by combining cream and rose eyeshadows with a slick of glitter liner.  Using lighter shades of eyeshadow and glitter eyeliner along the upper lashline are effective ways of adding brightness to the eyes (perfect if you are feeling a little tired as I was on this day!).  Here’s how to create the look:
