Awesome progress, it’s quite impressive. I like the lipstick you’re wearing, and the lipstick blush looks really good

I wonder if with time you can get better audio equipment I love your vids tho! Keep going 🎉

sorry about parts of the video are a bit out of focus- I was playing around with the setting. 😅

to me there is something very nice about having a small neat makeup collection that you use over and over. yes i'll buy a new product once in a while, but i stick to my fav products

The algorithm sent me here. I have so many lip products and doing a swatch pallete is so smart since when I pack for a trip I realize I tend to buy similar shades from different brands/different formulas.

I want to add that it’s important to learn how to use our makeup tools, including our fingers, properly. Because then we’re able to get the variety of looks/textures/whatever we’re craving. Or least I’m craving. Also I want to add if you have hooded eyes you will need the proper shaped brushes for them. I noticed my desire for new eyeshadows reduced when I was able to use the collection I already have.

Idk why this was recommended to me as I hate eyeshadow 😂 I just think it looks terrible on me and I never learned to apply it properly. But.... I was able to stop myself from buying lip palettes and too many glosses and lipsticks by testing colors on myself. I realised only the warm bright colors looked really good (like brightened up my skin and not bringing out redness and flaws), so I could just forget about the rest. I started looking at seasonal color analysis after a friend mentioned it and figured out my lipstick testing was basically figuring out my "season" on my own. I started watching Carol Brailey videos and got totally convinced by her before and afters. It ended up being easy to figure out I was a "True Spring" so I totally changed my wardrobe, selling old clothes and buying used clothes in "my colors" on Vinted. Now I love seeing myself in these colors that effortlessly look so much better. And I never bother buying makeup that isn't in my color palette. I see it saving a lot of time and money over the long term because I can block out so much that is no longer relevant to me. I don't need every color, shade, tone, etc - I just need a handful of my best colors in good formulas.

I just found your videos, and really enjoy this kind of content. I'm binge watching them, and have to say the volume is a little too low to watch it from a computer, but nicely filmed. (hope this feedback can help you)

I love my eye shadows 😊

The swatch sheet is a great idea. I have a tendency to love shades that are really similar.

I have Asian-hooded eyes. Therefore, I find it very easy for me to just stick to 1 palette because of my eye structure. Basically, I only have 1 palette from the CLIO brand with all muted shades since the colors with high saturation make my eyes look more swelling :D

Please post more of these!! So fun!

I haven't even watched the video. But just from looking at the thumbnail, I know this is a great idea. This is what we need. Comparisons of what we already have. This is what will give one a great perspective as to how many of the same things you own.

This is why I stopped being an influencer. Thank you. ❤

WOW this is the best consumer-conscious/sustainable beauty channel. Everything you say is so well thought out. It’s helping me a lot

I pretty much only follow like 1 brand that I love and it an indie brand with great customer service so I don't feel money wasted. of course I now own most of their eyeshadow but they only really release new palettes once a year so it manageable

Is this the gosh jamaica one?

Was this the gosh jamaica quad?

Hi, I feel as though you not only described explained and synthesized my entire relationship with eyeshadows, but more clearly explained my personal process of overcoming my eyeshadow addiction. I want to add that my addiction to eyeshadows and make up in general began because I became an adult and gained access to lots of money without having bills to pay(I lived at home during the pandemic) so I finally decided that I could get the things my parents would/could never buy me. As a first gen immigrant, I rarely had the luxury of my parents buying something non practical as money was short. And if we I did get something, I was always expected to share. I felt like my makeup addiction was fueled by the fact that I felt like I could finally make it up to childhood me. The problem with that thinking is that sometimes being denied things, especially if you’re not in the financial position to buy it without consequences, is okay and can make you more creative with what you already have. After decluttering almost 3 years worth of make up hoarding, I not only realized I have have an aesthetic I rarely deviate from, but I can do exactly what I wanted to do with only a cupful of products, foundation and primer included. Your video is very well produced and insightful. Thank you and wishing all the luck 🍀 ❤.

How does she have 12 serums 😮

I relate to so much of what you said. I don't have much interest in any makeup product EXCEPT for colorful eyeshadow palettes, and this video came in clutch. As someone who also draws, the part where you mentioned about the artistic part of owning an eyeshadow palette is so true - it (likely) brings the same satisfaction as owning a set of new color pencils or new watercolors (which is something I've been sucessful with avoiding, but with eyeshadow palettes though...) And the Trying vs Owning ressonated with me as well. I know it all ties in together, the trends, vibes and how the marketing works, but there's nothing more disappointing than seeing people (influencers or friends/colleagues) recommending a certain product and, when you try it, it's just not for you. The texture, the brand or the color isn't your style or something you want to use frequently, but just the feeling of being included in a trend among your peers makes you feel good about owning a product, despite the fact you probably won't use much of it. I absolutely loved this video and just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I hope to see more of your content!

I’ve personally unsubscribed from many fashion and beauty and skincare influencers. I destroyed my skin microbiome with the “10 step gentle Korean routine “ and I spent a year with constant visits to my dermatologist to fix it. She literally told me :cleanser, sunscreen. And if I feel my skin is too tight , moisturizer. I gave up tretinoin too. My skin feels and looks amazing now. As for the makeup, do you think anyone notices the difference if we use this or that similar eyeshadow? And in my experience, bronzer looks so much better as an eyeshadow than a regular eyeshadow.

Just found your channel and subscribed, absolutely loving your videos! Currently watching them all to see the full progress of your project pans, inventories etc ❤❤

I actually have a 3 set eyeshadow with a blush, contour, and highlight palette in it that I used all the time. I feel like this marketing strategy is not just with make up, it's also with art and cooking too. "Oh if I have an Air fryer life would be so much easier." "I need a high quality branded color pencil otherwise I can't draw." I would suggest you learn different eye shadow technics instead of buying more because you'll be surprise at how doing your makeup wrong can make you look worse. By the way I'm Chinese with Monolids and as much as the beauty industry wants me to belive I need double eyelid sugery to be pretty I can replicate western makeup on my eyes and they look so much more beautiful now. As the saying goes, All the Makeup in the World won't make you less insecure. I gotten rid of a lot of my make up now that I know what suits me and what doesn't. Feel comfortable in your own skin because no matter how you look you will always be you.

I know this is a bit counterintutive to the whole point of your video, but what is the palette in the very bottom right corner of the thumbnail? I only have 2 neutral palettes and have been keeping an eye out for a nice colorful palette to play with, and honestly part of the reason I clicked on the video was to find out what palette it is. Also, is it any good in your opinion?

Funny fact... I wear colorful eyeshadow everyday for at least 7 years. I still have not completely panned my fist colour pallete and i have 7 in total, most of them medium to small size. I have only panned one other pallete throughout all this time and take into consideration i use eyeshadow as blush, mixed with a medium as liner and sometimes as highlighter. It lasts for ages ..... Why get a million brown shadows????🤷🤷 Liquid lipsticks on the other hand... I go through them like crazy 😅

👏

I have some issue going on, like sitting hours gawking on these makeup websites and feel like If I own it, I will have some authority against an influencer and I make orders, soon after I will rationalise it in my head and cancel these orders and after a day or two pass by I will again gawk on the same cancelled products...It keeps happening and happening, maybe bacause deep down I want to become that infamous influencer and attain that fame which is all in my head. I know it is not right for me and my journey on youtube will be mine and unique, but I feel am not able to grow as I do not talk about this or that product, or maybe having that product will make me look more pretty and appealing to the audience.

You can post me some of your shadows, I can pay for the shipping!

I love them too. I got rid of them when I realized it’s just my attraction to organized colors. When I need a boost now I go to an art or fabric or yarn or bead store and just spend some time among the organized color displays enjoying the visual potential, sorted selection, and remember I have some paints. I wear makeup maybe once or twice a year generally, but less and less often all the time. Now all the makeup fits in a small portion of a small bathroom drawer. It’s far more appropriate. The eye shadow was just reminding me of painting, which I actually enjoy. The color is attractive, but when it’s on my face I can’t see it and don’t enjoy it anymore. Better to paint on paper.

Hi, I am new and just suscribed to your channel. I am eyeshadow addicted :-) Makeup addicted, color addicted.

All this did was make me want to buy eyeshadow😅. Fortunately, i dont have too many eyeshshadows. I own like 3 minis, and ive hit pan on 2 of them 😅.

Fantastic video! Perfect timing for me. Subscribed

Thank you for this food for thought. Can you please do a how-to video for swatch board?

You also should consider, if there is a lack of eyeshadow, maybe it there for a reason - hear me out 😅 an example: you don't have a blue one, you buy one and find yourself you don't like blue on you or something like this - i heard it from @KellyGooch

Great video! Being a broke college student saved me so much $$ during the beauty guru era loool I don't have the patience, discipline or interest to practice how to do a good eyeshadow atm, I threw away my expired makeup, I'm focusing more in finding a signature lipstick for day and night🍒

I went from 300 palettes to about 40 ish. (Still a lot) I was very tempted with a recent palette, I looked up swatches in all lights and on my arm i duped it!!! Took pictures and compared to online switches, never felt so satisfied!

I've just discovered you, what a very wise woman you are. This is an excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to create it and post it.

I don't have a swatch card but I made a list of my lip products and described the color. I used to have only one or two of each product but I have a addiction for lip tints. I have 14 lip products now and some of them aren't opened. So I decided to go on a no-buy. It might seem not too much but it's stressing me out and it'll take me too long to finish them anyway. Good luck on your journey!

This is like intense market research

Do you have a video that shows how you made your swatch cards??

When a makeup item (usually a blush or lipstick) is calling to me my instinct is to play with what I have first and see if I need it.

That's a wonderful idea making that swatch book

I'm at the death grips of blushes

I would love to see a video where you do one or two looks with the palette you’ve created!

This is a great video, thank you for sharing. Love the swatch card, too.

I often find the L’Oréal and Olay creams for half price on Amazon

Questions that help me by less eyeshadow: Does it fit my color preferences? Whether color analysis or favorites, I know that I will use colors that look good on me and work with my wardrobe and will rarely use colors that don't. Does it work with the way I actually use makeup? I never use more than one palette at a time. If a palette doesn't have several light shadows and at least one dark matte, it's not going to get used because I'd have to open another eyeshadow to finish my look. It may be silly, but it is the reality of how I use makeup. Same thing with single eyeshadows. I will only use a single if it's a light shimmer I can use as a one and done (because I'm only pulling out one shadow item). I've disqualified a lot of palettes because they didn't meet this requirement. I use an app called Pixlr to create a collage which has the palette I'm interested in along with all the other palettes I have with a similar color story. Then I ask, "How many colors in the new palette are different enough from the old palette that I'd actually be able to tell the difference on my eye?" It's pretty hard for an eyeshadow to make it through all 3 questions.

Such wise words, I also have realised that most of the colours I like, and actually wear..are already in my collection. Sure, I love watching influencers slap on vibrant electric blue, hot red, flaming orange, with glitters and sparkles... but will I ever WEAR them myself!?? No! Never... no matter how glorious I think the colours are!!!

I use highlighters and blush as eyeshadows when I want to finish them quickly
