    As I'm responding to these wonderful comments, I realized that one of the main reasons I had to include DR 2 on this list was because of its impeccable formulation. Perhaps with the exception of the first three Motherships, there's always a shade or two that needs some finessing. But in DR 2??? All the textures were S TIER. From the mattes to the astral shades. And every time I used it, the security I felt in knowing that whatever shade I used was going to deliver??? Yup.

    I had to tell you. I just got my very first PMG Mothership palette yesterday. Mothership X. I want to thank you for your extensive reviews. They helped me so much. I was able to choose the colour story that works for me. And OMG! I had very high expectations, of course. I was not disappointed. Opening the illustrated art packaging, then holding that black lacquer case, the weight of it surprised me. Then lifting the lid to reveal the eyeshadows. My mouth dropped open. I own ND and Huda palettes but PMG eyeshadows are a different level. It’s the most beautiful piece of makeup that I own. Thank you so much for the time and the work you put into all your vids. I just love your energy and personality. And now I have a Mothership. I giggle every time I look at it.😊

    After years of watching luxury makeup videos, this year I began to actually purchase… my first Mothership was Midnight Sun because of you… my second was Mothership 10 because of you also… I am stuck on number three…
    I also use Pat McGrath concealer, foundation, powder, lipgloss, highlighter, blush, lipliner… I will wait till the next sale to dive into the mascara, eyeliner, and bronzer! Again, all because of you! Every cent I have spent on the brand has been because of you!

  • @LocdAnnLuvly
    @LocdAnnLuvly 10 місяців тому +2

    Thanks for giving us permission to write essays 😊
    Top PMG favs:
    1. M6--Midnight Sun 🌞 better known as "The One"... Favorite pallette in my collection and arguably the best PMG creation! From grocery shopping to office to After 5 and all life and living...If I could only have one pallette in my life...This would be it!
    2. M4--Decadence: It only gets better as I age! Every "Chocolate Doll" or "Seasoned Lovely" should own this pallette! If I want to be edgy or glam this is it!
    3. M3--Subversive: When I wanna be "Supah-Dupah Fly 😎" ...Plus I think it pairs well with Midnight Sun...
    4. Blitz Astral Quad Nocturnal Nirvana! I absolutely love blue and green eyeshadows! The color story of this blue-green-indigo mini pallette is probably the best one for "chocolate girls" who love to play with blues and greens! The indigo-purple shadow is starting to hard pan but I revive it with a spritz of mix medium...I hope PMG brings her back.
    5a. M5--Bronze Seduction--The door opener and...The Gateway pallette: This was my first PMG pallette. If it were not for this pallette I probably would not have considered making any investment in PMG/Mothership eyeshadow pallettes...When I saw it for the first time I said to myself "This is a pallette that is worth $125!"
    5b. M10-Moonlight Seduction better known as "Bronze Seduction's little cousin!" Brilliantly ostentatious on so many levels-- exclusively After 5 or New Year's Eve! The downside is that she's little too light for deeper skin tones. The mattes would work better as blend out shadows on deeper tones, too...but..if you do not mind "the naughty-gaudy" go for it!
    Honorable mentions to:
    6. Blitz Blitz Atral Quad Iconic Illumination--This is my "work horse PMG" pallette. She's a safe, reliable "get ready and be out the door in 15min " pallette! She's just a simple but pretty warm neutral...The Blitz Brown is great for either an outer corner shadow or eyebrow filler or even a transition shade for the deep skin tones! She's a great travel companion too! I hope PMG brings her back into the fold, too!
    7. M2--Oh so Sublime! What hooked me was that gorgeous Blitz Green which is next to impossible to dupe! Otherwise she's another safe and familiar pallette with a color story that is all-inclusive--wearable for all skin tones and ages! She's good for the office, weddings, luncheons, or first dates (or court dates-can you say Not Guilty lol!) ...She's ideal for a nice gift, too! But the other shadows in het story are easy to dupe so...If I had a do over I'd buy her on sale...
    8. M1-Subliminal: I do not own Subliminal yet, but, I really like the subdued and cool neutral color stories! These shades really make brown eyes stand out ...This pallette is appropriately named...I do not consider it a "must buy" because some of those mattes would seem too light for deeper skin tones plus...It has been on the market for a very long time so I am hoping that it will go on sale one day...
    9. M8-Divine Rose 2: I do not own this pallette yet either because I am not all that crazy about pinks. I think this pallette was PMG's attempt to bring the "chocolate girls into the pink" She's another pretty but simple pallette that is great for bridal make up or high-teas and luncheons. I would only buy this pallette on sale though...The shadow formulas and its color stories are easy dupeable so...Why would I pay $125?

    Mothership V in the Met Gala packaging was my first and will always have a special place in my heart. I also love subversive - best and boldest color story IMHO. Decadence - I got it on the first relaunch when it was in the Star Wars packaging...the height of the Pat McGrath launch shenanigans. I love midnight sun for its versatility. Lastly mothership II when I feel like playing it safe.

    I got into this "I want them all" pattern. There were a few that I knew right away, were not for me, but if I thought it was pretty I had to buy it. There is a difference between "I love that it's so pretty!" and "I would wear the heck out of that!" There were some happy shoppers on Mercari when I eventually re-homed swatched one time palettes. Huetopian Dream and Midnight Sun are the two palettes that I kept... they must be my favorites. I couldn't let them go...

    Huetopian Dream is my top mothership! I know people were upset it was more rosy pinks but as someone who wasn’t interested in the Divine Rose 1&2 releases it was the perfect option for me. Also the astral amethyst moon is my absolute favorite astral shade from Pat!

    • @aliciaarcher
      @aliciaarcher  Рік тому +1

      Oooooo yes! I had a hard time picking between Huetopian Dream and DR 2. I think overall DR 2 has the better formula. But it’s all good that Astra Amethyst is more flaky than Astral Pink Moon. I don’t mind it, especially if your conservative with the dose.

  • @adrian-rx8rg
    @adrian-rx8rg Рік тому +8

    Alicia Archer X Pat McGrath content is always my favorite on the whole ‘Tube, especially Mothership rankingsss!
    I’m so glad Bronze Devotion got some love in this vid! I never understood Mother Pat’s obsession with bronze shades until that one debuted in Moonlit Seduction, it totally opened my eyes and now I appreciate all the bronzes in my collection more; it’s just so deliciously evocative and glowy but it also does all the heavy lifting for so many looks as a softer setup shade omg. It’s hard for me to rank the Motherships I have, I think Divine Rose II might narrowly make the number one spot just because it’s so stinkin’ versatile, but I agree with you about Moonlit Seduction wholeheartedly. It’s like a toy box of kaleidoscopic-but-also-surprisingly-neutral brilliance that continues to surprise me after 10 months of continual use. I was apprehensive about a few of the shades at first but somehow it feels nostalgic and futuristic at the same time now and weirdly calls to me every time I do my makeup, I’m transfixed😵‍💫😭🤩 Mother Pat really cooked up something so special and enigmatic with that one and I’m glad to see it in this ranking especially because I think it got a lot of flack at the time of release (though I don’t understand why because it’s not pink or gold leaning to my eye like everyone was whinging on about?? And the gold shade is one of the brand’s most neutral??)
    ANYWAY, love the content and love the rant encouragement. Obviously. Can’t wait for there to be five more Motherships for you to rank Alicia!

    • @aliciaarcher
      @aliciaarcher  Рік тому +1

      I love this analysis 😭 You outlined exactly why I adore Moonlit Seduction. Initially when you see it, it might scream monochromatic, but it’s much more. You truly need to throw away all assumptions and just play! Because the looks that can be created from that color story are simply glorious 🥹

And im even going to Mercari for the 6 pans that are discontinued..... so every palette, blush, highlighter... im addicted. Your reviews are so extensive and descriptive and really help me choose my first palette. Now my top 5
    1.) Mothership I Subliminal
    2.) Mothership III Subversive
    3.) Mothership VI Midnight Sun
    4.) Mothership IX Huetopian Dream
    5.) Mothership X Moonlit Seduction

    It’s impossible to watch your videos without buying at least one PMG palette… or most of them. 😅 started with Midnight Sun (& a 6-pan Lunar NY palette) because of your recommendations and it was my regular color story. Now that I have all the Motherships, I’d say my top 5 are Midnight Sun, Subliminal, Huetopian Dream, and Bronze Seduction. You’ve inspired me to play with DRII, Moonlit Seduction, and Sublime. I love that gold shade in Subversive - it helped me keep from buying a Lisa Eldridge palette. But most of the time. It’s too punk rock for my vocation. The mattes in Sublime seem disconnected and I prefer the shades in other palettes. I have to take the chance to trust the mattes in Moonlit Seduction like you do rather than reaching into my Viseart palettes and making my looks look like the 5 pan neutral holiday collection that is no longer available. Thank you so much for the inspiration!! I love your tutorials - I just rewatched your unboxing / 5 looks video w Midnight Sun and wore your Blood Moon / Jubilee / Blitz Violet Orchid combo on my day off.

    • @aliciaarcher
      @aliciaarcher  Рік тому +1

      Hey C.J.! That’s how I feel about Bronze Seduction- it screams Holiday/Special Occassion, and I need to be in a particular mindset for that palette. I can understand how one wouldn’t think the mattes can work in Moonlit because of how impactful the metallics are, but they make lovely combinations. Although I realize that because of my skin tone, Plum Cabaret and Rosewood Romantique might not pull as warm/red on me. And they might appear like that on you, but I think the undertones lean more neutral.

      @@sashawhyte7396 You can do it! The best is when the sale is higher than 30% plus you get a deeper discount for buying two at a time.. I mean, I was shocked to get Moonlit Seduction on sale close to launch because I bought it with another palette during a sale.

    Wow ! The way you describe the palettes, the different colors and nuances, I love it. You’re a real artist, you have a really poetic vision. Your videos and advice are the reason I own all the mothership palettes. I remember the first time I wore a mothership eyeshadow at work, everyone, and I mean every single person I met, complimented me (I was like: what did I put on this morning? Oh yeah, Pat McGrath…). Even my patients we’re wowing me (I’m a doctor). Thank you so much, I loved this video !

I'm sort of tired of the new releases because we've seen it and we have it. It's like there's nothing new - even though there is new releases, we have it... I am not so much interested in the new releases anymore as I am for the excitement of the beauty we already have and how to use them!! Thank you so much. I hope to make it to NY sometime to maybe be able to meet you and give you a hug. I am in MD so it's not too far!! Def on the bucket list.

    You could sell a mothership to anybody, in my opinion. Divine Rose 2 was my first mothership. I then bought Midnight Sun after watching your videos. Midnight Sun may be the most versatile palette ever. I love it. It's just absolutely gorgeous and it serves you in any way you want. It's my favourite palette ut of all those I have, alongside Riviera by Dior. My next mothership will be Subversive. I am not getting eyeshadow at the moment, because I have enough and don't wanna be wasteful, but when I'll get Subversive sooner or later. I own 2 of the Christmas mega palettes and like them but, to me, nothing compares to a Mothership.

      @@aliciaarcher Thanks! I am sure I will! I thought I'd give you a heads up about the Eden Roc quint by Dior. Since you loved the fact that Midnight Sun actually represents the phenomenon, that palette also completely embraces the area and light at the Eden Roc hotel in France. Maybe look the hotel and its history up and then check the palette out, if that may interest you. Some similar tones to MS as well.

    I recently found you and have been binging all your videos. I've always had such a strong passion for make up. It makes me so happy to watch how much you love make up like mysel. I've been obsessed with Pat McGrath for years but haven't been able to afford anything...yet. But a friend recently gifted me her Subversive Mothership cuz she didn't love it like she knew I would and I am so incredibly shocked and in love that i just need to get my hands on them all! I can't help be a little sad though cuz the palette came with two black shades😭 and missing the gorgeous black metal metallic shade which was one of the shades I fell in love with! So that was a bummer but I am definitely not complaining cuz the pallette is Jaw Drop Perfection. I'll need to start saving asap cuz I've been using it every day since i got it and will need to replace it at some point☺️
    Thank you for sharing your love, knowledge, and creativity with us. Watching your videos has made me want to get back into trying to grow my collection again. I love your bubbly, fun, relatable personality. I look forward to watching your videos at the end of the day to relax 🥰

    I love your swatches and descriptions of the Motherships, no one can do it like you can!
    I only own 4 Motherships currently, but, in large part due to your extensive PM videos, I’ve curated my collection to include my favorites and I’m not yet ready to branch out more. Until the future Mothership 11 of course 😉
    I don’t know what my ranking would be, but I love them all for their own reasons. I have Moonlit Seduction, Divine Rose 1, Subliminal, and Midnight Sun, which I also adore and love it for its versatility.
    You probably notice I go for cool/neutral tones more often and I have fair skin, so that keeps me from buying some of the more warm and intense palettes.
    Thank you so much for this video, I enjoy them so much!
    I’m curious: what would you like to see with a Mothership 11?

    • @aliciaarcher

      Oooo those are fantastic picks! I would love to see a non pink moment from 11: out of all the Motherships-Subliminal, Decadence, and Midnight Sun are the only ones without pink. It will be hard to not include a gold for Pat 😅 But a cooler, almost desaturated color story will be great.
