EYESHADOW PALETTE COLLECTION

So this will be a thread on EIGHTEEN palettes that I currently have in my makeup collection grouped by brands.

In my 3-year journey as a makeup enthusiast, palettes have always been my favourite makeup item, so much so that I have more palettes than lipsticks

We’re going in alphabetical order so let’s start with..........

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS

I got the Rose Gold set during Black Friday and the other two for like half price. I wouldn’t recommend ABH for beginners solely bc they tend to be very pigmented and a little powdery. But their shimmers are absolutely divine.

ABH Norvina

I wish there was a darker matte shade to really complete an eye look but it really is a pretty palette.

PS: I’m not a fan of the felt packaging the first 3 palettes have, I’ve only had them since Nov but they already look worn

ABH Soft Glam

People love SG...and for good reason. It might look like a boring neutrals palette to some but you can literally wear this palette everyday and even switch it up for a more glamorous look.

ABH Modern Renaissance

I think this palette damn near rocked the beauty world and got everyone’s eyes on ABH, mine included. Gorgeous colours *chef’s kiss*

ABH x Alyssa Edwards

A collab that just makes sense. And look at that yellow??! Also, ABH does bright pinks very very well.

ABH Riviera

I love the packaging on this one, it’s almost denim-textured and looks so good. The shimmers in this one is particularly buttery and has micro-glitters in them. A beaut!

Next we shall move on to Certifeye!

Certifeye Tropical Wonders

My go-to all-matte rainbow palette. Nuff said.

COLOURPOP

If you’re just starting out in makeup, you really can’t go wrong with CP palettes as they’re affordable and of good quality.

Although, swatching these palettes, I must say my older palettes swatch better than the new one

CP x Disney Midnight Masquerade

Packaging is absolutely stunning and I really like the new pressed glitter formula. HOWEVER, the dark matte brown (shade:Quasimodo) is faulty and had to be DUG into to get any colour payoff. Pleased with the other shades, but that one is BADDDDDD

CP Give It To Me Straight

I absolutely love this palette, on OG fav. The perfect palette for you if you like berry-toned neutrals.

CP x KathleenLights Dream St

Apologies, I’ve depotted the shadows from this palette hence why they’re loose. But this palette is absolutely beautiful. That matte red and dark teal are like butter on the skin and translates on the eyes so well. That dark teal is AMAZINGG

CP All I See is Magic (Discontinued)

Since this one is discontinued, I won’t touch on it very long. I didn’t love this one enough to bring it to the UK but it still performs beautifully, better than the Disney one, I might add

Next is HUDA BEAUTY.

I’ve heard not so good things about her larger palettes so I opted for one of the small ones instead and am pleasantly surprised at the formula. Gorgeous colour payoff and blendability, suitable for beginners but they’re pretty expensive

HB Topaz Obsessions

Got this in a CultBeauty box so I didn’t pay full price for this. Imo two of the shades are too similar esp when you consider that it’s a 9-pan palette. But beautiful formula. Pleasantly surprised!

HB Nude Obsessions Medium

I love the concept, the Deep version is also stunning. HOWEVER, there’s no shade deep enough to complete a whole look. The two pink shades are also similar. But the duochrome at the bottom is gorgEOUS

HB Ruby Obsessions

I bought this bc I wanted a red palette and am a little let down mainly bc it leans more pink than red. There’s probably only one or two true reds in here and I wanted and expected more.

My gripe with HB palettes is that they tend to have two very similar shades in a 9-pan palette or they don’t have a dark enough deepening shade. The formula is there, and the colour story idea is beautiful but it can be so much better.

JEFFREE STAR COSMETICS

I’ve always been intrigued by his formula but have never justified spending the money on colour stories that I don’t personally vibe with. His colour stories are not for everyone and his palettes are pretty expensive to get here.

JSC x Shane Dawson Mini Controversy

All the shades are pretty buttery I must say. I actually really like the colour story and I don’t actually want the green shade they’re putting in.

But the shades swatch beautifully and perform as they should, but nothing crazy special tbh

Juvia’s Place

First of all, I love the entire concept of the brand down to the packaging and colour story. I don’t think I’ve seen that many brands that have as many strong colour stories as JP. Plus their pans are HUGE and the shimmers are like liquid metal

JP Masquerade Mini

As you can see, it’s neatly divided into 2 sections, neutrals and colours. Their metallics are truly one of the best in the game along with ABH imo but they’re a little richer in colour and more metallic than glittery like a lot of ABH shimmers.

JP Magic palette

Some palettes I buy bc they’re such a brilliant cohesive colour story. I bought this one solely for the uniqueness of every shade. They look pretty crazy on their own but I think it’s a great accompaniment palette to jazz up a look.

URBAN DECAY

I think UD is pretty expensive for their quality, which can be hit and miss at times. Some of their palettes don’t have the best reviews and tbh I can sort of see why.

UD Born to Run

One of the better UD palettes (and pretty expensive too). Good formula and a more faded grungy colour story but not worth the full price imo

UD Naked Petit Heat

The mini version of the Naked Heat palette. Great for travel and if you prefer warm neutrals. It also contains mainly matte shades and only one shimmer so if you’re more into shimmers this is not the palette for you unfortunately.

And that’s all 18 in my current collection!

I usually don’t declutter palettes bc I love holding onto things but I did give away a CO palette and a few elf ones and left a UD one back in the UK.

Also, if you want to see some looks created using specific palettes by yours truly, just look through this thread!
