A few things! I apologize for the late upload, as I was dealing with export issues 😪 Secondly, I'm well aware that this came after the VIP Sale, but I am fully confident that Mother will have another sale soon. Lastly, I forgot to say Happy New Year 😅 FIRST VIDGEO OF THE YEAR!!!
As a non Pat McGrath palette owner I do want to thank your explicit attention to detail. Your videos helped me decide on my 1st Pat palette. Keep em coming!
Always appreciate the amount of time, care, and details that you put in explaining PMG. So many people dismiss the Motherships because they don’t understand the formulas or techniques and your videos are such a breath of fresh air.
I use Bronze Seduction every damn day! It brings me so much joy!!! Life is too short not to wear my SPARKLES everyday ✨😍🥰. I find all the shades sooo flattering and I can easily wear them sheer for more toned down look OR build them up for the VA VA VOOM!
Ugh. Using a Mothership is just such an experience. You get to enjoy the beautiful artwork on the box, then you take out that gorgeous black weighted palette, and when you open it you have all these beautiful sparkly shades staring back at you. I hope Pat gives us more VR shades soon. Besides the blitz formula, the VR ones are my absolute favorites. My all time top 5 Pat shades in no particular order: VR Pink and Gigabyte (Subversive), Citrine Envy (Celestial Odyssey), Blitz Violet Orchid (Midnight Sun), and VR Emerald (Nocturnal Nirvana). Honorable mentions: Blitz Amethyst (Subversive), Twighlight Bronze (Voyeuristic Vixen), Lapis Luxury (Decadence), VR Fire Opal (Bronze Seduction), Blitz Emerald (Sublime), and Golden Polaris (Interstellar Icon).
Ugh subversive D: I wanted to get it as my first Mothership but it was sold out. I have too much makeup now and I need to know my palettes/singles so it’s gonna take a while for me to have the Subversive until I finish that repeat shade in Sublime D:
I forgot to mention that I really LOVE these “return to Mother Pat’s” palettes videos. It makes me run to my collection so I can look at all the pretty colors, challenge me to wear things differently or wear a color I think is crazy for the day as one and done and buffed out carefully. I would love an updated tutorial with each palette and quad. Will you be doing a Bridgerton collab review soon? I passed on the whole collection and I hope I don’t kick myself for not jumping on the bandwagon!
Listening to you talk about Pat McGrath is like listening to David Attenborough talk about nature/Mary Beard talk about Ancient Rome/Lucy Worsley dress up about anything (wow, do I watch too many nerdy British history programs) - I’m sitting here being educated by one of the greats, is my point, and I live for every moment of it. Others have said it, and I couldn’t agree more: the care and dedication you put into these videos is truly second to none. It inspires me to want to go run and play with things in my collection like my six-year-old niece does with her vanity from Santa, despite it being 5:30 in the morning. Tl;dr you’re awesome. Thank you.
ok sooo... I will never ever get bored of watching Alicia reviewing all the palettes from Mother Pat! I think this is the third time you doing this, and every time I am amazed of how good you are at it. Also I think... wouldn't be nicer if we were like spiders, with 6 eyes? We could wear much more eyeshadow 😅. Anyway, thank you! And yes please do the same for the Quads... and maybe even for Natasha's palettes? 🥰
I could listen to you talk about palettes literally for days. I just made my first PML purchase…Desert Orchid blush and the under eye setting powder. I’m still waiting for the perfect palette to take the plunge!
I think it’s so funny the definition of “everyday wearable” is different for everybody. Mothership 5 & 6 are my favorite for everyday while 3 & 9 are more special occasion for me. I’d love to see more astral blitz quads from Miss Pat. Love these kinds of videos to re inspire us to open up old pallets to stop buying all the new releases lol
Lol So true. I own 6 of the 9 mthrshps and Bronze seduction is my most worn. Even though I have divine rose 1 and 2. I'm such a glam makeup girl, that bronze seduction is an everyday palette for me. Lol
Your enthusiasm is so infectious when speaking about these paletes. A six/four pan video would be appreciated. BTW: Any predictions about Mothership 10?
How ironic? I just binge watched all your PM mothership palette videos for the last 3 hours and came away with some wonderful and useful information. So thank you for that! So I might as well finish this latest video as well. Just curious if you’ll comment on Mothership 3 as still your favorite. Again, thanks so much!❤️
Ok I clicked so fast bc I thought this was a bridgertonxpat video 😞. I’m still watching bc this will be key as I revisit all my motherships in 2022. TFS.
YES!!!! New tutorials with the PM palets please!!! i do not want to buy so so. many palets every year neither, some of my other palets of my collection i realized are expired and textures changed a lot:( so with just two eyes is difficult to use so much make up, at least u are beauty influencers😅 i have around 50 palets is terrible i got mad in make up two years ago😱🤣😁 but this year i promess my self just focus using what i have! ❤️ so new tutorials would be wonderful shopping ur stash💕😁🎉💖💜😚😊
I absolutely agree with the fact with no matter what you combine from a mothership it just looks good. Not sure how it works so beautifully but that’s why they’re so addicting. You could put so many colors on your eyes and it would just turn out so gorgeous never muddy lol. I also love how easy they are to use. I have no idea how people say they are patchy or hard to blend. They must not be using good brushes or something. I’m definitely no pro but I have never had a problem ever. I love them all and absolutely think they are worth the money. Not to mention Pat’s shadows are the only shadows that last all day long on my hooded eyes. My eyes literally look the same at the end of the night as they did when I applied them.
What I love about PML is how special the shadows are. Unlike anything in my collection, they are just so special. And she’s so generous, giving us good sales so often, so more people are able to experience her products. Her brand isn’t perfect but I definitely will support, especially as a fellow black woman.
Speaking as a person of colour (similar shades to Jackie Aina) I know if you haven't had an experience of a PMGL palette you'll look and think "that won't suit/show up on me". That is NOT the case with Pat TRUST me!! We can use any colour, she has really thought through the colours, in layers even. E.g I can use DV1 on my whole face... contour/bronzer, highlight, eye ... everything!! My all time favourite multi use palette is her 2020 Quad Fleur Fantasia... seriously, eyes cheeks, lips. Love it; love all of it! 😍 Even if I have to be very choosy and save for the sale I am so happy with her product. Don't get me wrong, I'm not so obsessed I can't see the flaws, but for each question mark there's an exclamation mark!
The detail you put into your videos is unmatched! 🙌 Thank you for all the hard work you put into your content. Always love tuning in-especially to your PML videos. You’re my go-to! 👏 Edit: One person’s “glam” look may be another person’s “every day” look and vice versa. Such a good reminder!
in defense of Bronze seduction, the brown mattes make lovely smoothe bronzers/ contours (depending on yor skintone). Side note: this video was everything & I look forward to more! ✨
Who wouldn't want a guide for the rest PM palettes formats from you!? I mean, YES PLEASE!!!! P.S.: I'm dying of excitement for your review over the new mother's products!! Can't wait for your review on those highlighters!
LOVE THIS!!!! I have MS 1, 2, 5, 7 & 8. Had MS 4, but gave it to my cousin. Now I'm looking at MS 3 like "😏 how YOU doin?" 🤣🤣🤣 I have even more appreciation now for each color story, all the different formulas... Beyond! Love what you did on your eyes w/MS 1 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩 Can't wait for MS 10 🤤🤤🤤 And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🥳🎉🥂
Bronze Seduction is my go-to , xtreme aubergine in the crease and winged out, blitz flame all over the lid, and the astral shades on the brow bone, inner corner, and as highlight.. show stopping.
I’m commenting as I watch so sorry for all the comments lol. But Subversive is still my favorite palette. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen her video, but there’s another UA-camr named Regina who does makeup videos, and she has one on Subversive that’s just AMAZING. She goes by PICTURRESQUE and her video has your same Pat McGrath energy. It’s what made me buy it and after that I was hooked lol.
Oh man! So I kept telling myself, I won't buy these motherships, I'll never use colors like that, I'll never, I'll never. But I love them! I have four, and just ordered two more. Now, I'm an older gal but, I love Pats colors too. They can be used subtly too. The way these shadows blend... oh my goodness! The color payoff, yep, sooooo good. I love how knowledgeable you are about the products you use, and how well you understand them . I really enjoy sharing time with you. Thank you!
The only Mothership I own is Divine Rose I as it’s the perfect ColorStory for me. I’m really looking forward to see what Mother Pat offers in the Mothership X palette. I would love a green dominant palette 💚
I bought Midnight Sun recently which is my first mothership palette. I’m really enjoying it! Totally agree that it’s one of the most versatile. It’s really wearable for me and my life style. I’ve been wearing Taboo as a blush recently and on my skin tone it’s pretty without being pink. While the experience definitely has me eyeing more I can’t imagine picking any other up right now. My main criticism with Pat McGrath recently is that everything is just too pink. I feel like it’s been nothing but pink palettes for 2 years. Pinks can be beautiful, flattering, and wonderful but I’m sick to death of them. Coincidentally, depending on the tone, they also make me look sick when wearing them.
Lol “what are they doing and where are they going ??”Love it ! That’s my eyes everyday working remotely 😂 ❤️thanks for this updated video ! It’s like girl where are you pretending to go today ?! Haha
I think MTHRSHP VI is a silent sleeper! I think it’s actually just know starting to receive it’s flowers in the past 2 years. I have loved it from the beginning.
Yes! Exactly what I needed, because I decided this year I'm finally going to invest in a Pat McGrath palette, and spent quite a bit time examining the palettes online last night. Thank you!
Please give us New looks for these palettes!!! I own all of them and have them displayed in my vanity but I NEVER reach for them! But I love them so much! 🥰 I bed inspo and this video def helped.
Not Alicia promoting the mothership palettes more than Pat does LOL. Love this video though sis. I own 5,6,8, and 9, and honestly it's just art. There is so much into these palettes that doesn't get talked about enough. I'm always inspired when I use Pat's makeup (literally my fav brand atm).
Bronze seduction was my first PM Palette as a new makeup user at that time and it's still kinda intimidating for me. What you said about it really helped me clarified my thoughts. I want to try to use it more but want to look up some inspiration.. I'm sure enough have some videos. I take a look
Alicia get out of my head! My mom and I just watched your original "Which Mothership is Right For You" during the sale and were talking about how we could use an updated vidgeo! What do you you think we're getting for #10? I want an all special shade pallet in jewel tones...
This has been a great vid, Alicia. To see ALL of PM's Mothership palettes in one vid! Wow! Would love to see you bring in a similar vid for Natasha Denona palettes too.
I was waiting for this viddddddd!!!!!!! I didn’t regret following any of your recommendations!!!! The last one was midnight sun last month! And oh my god how underloved is thaaaat! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Hey Alicia! 👋🏽 I legit was going through all of my PMG Mothership palettes when I popped this on. LoL. I own all of them but your review of Midnight Sun made me look at it another way and truly appreciate it. Thank you for your thorough review and explanations. Also, please do the quads and 6 pans! Would definitely love to see it. 🥰
I love divine mink and the Decadence palette was my first Mothership because I love shiny, shifty, metallics and jewel tones pow! I would love to see "new" tutorials on the PM Motherships! I love your videos, descriptions of the Palettes (and makeup in general) and passion for what you do.❤
My *favorite* Mothership palette is a tie between Divine Rose II and Midnight Sun. I can rely on either one to give me one bangin' hot eye look or, conversely, something that won't have me being stared at like I'm an alien on the bus! My least favorite of my 4 is Bronze Seduction because it contains 2 shades with PET glitter in them, which irritates my eyes tremendously. Yet, THAT was the palette I used when I went to see Muse in concert in downtown Phoenix! An intense aubergine and red moment with some duochrome over part of the red mid lid. As for my 4th, Decadence, I do love it a lot, but I have to be in a specific mindset to use it, because it is major metal!
Totally agree with all comments saying how grateful they are for your thoughtful and comprehensive reviews. Also love the reminder to use what you have.
I can watch you hype Midnight Sun all day long! It’s my favorite too, but a couple shades have gone hard pan on me. I pulled decadence out today and wore it for zoom meetings all day. Made me fall in love with my Pat again!
Alicia, you described the palettes perfectly. I own three, and my favorite is Midnight Sun; also my first. After watching this, I would really like to purchase Divine Rose, which is crazy because I am 65.
Girl! I'm known for going grocery shopping with my astral shades on!! And in the middle of a pandemic! 😂 I don't really care what people think but I totally get that these shades just grab people's attention, I've been complimented so many times! Which I love because all my life I've been only wearing matte browns and now I just want to experiment with all the colours! I only have bronze seduction, DR2 and midnight sun and I love them all.. but my fave is bronze seduction because I love brown shades and the red shade is amazing.. also the astral shades in that palette are stunning! I also love DR2 for a more wearable and soft look and the duochrome shade is of another world 😱 midnight sun is so versatile and my favourite shade is the moss green ❤ thank you for this video, I will never get tired of watching you talking about pats palettes so please do as many revisits as you like!💗 I would also love it if you did the same with Natasha denona as it's another of my favourites😍
I picked up Subliminal during the Winter sale. The only one I’m missing is Bronze Seduction….maybe I’ll pick it up next time but I’m in no rush. I love the color story but that red is off putting…. I should give it a shot. Still on the fence. Decadence pleasantly surprised me the most. I feel I can wear that palette on the regular…great “one and done” shades!
Midnight Sun is my fave too, and I find it very versatile for my skintone. 😍❤ As always I dig the anime references Alicia, but if I can also show my bias here... I don't think anything screams more flamboyant (including poses) than JoJo's. I mean Golden Wind era is just 😱😅, have you seen the poster art and the Gucci collabs? It's so extra, and I'm sad I missed out on the Vans collab sneakers a few years ago.
I appreciate these sorts of videos since these palettes are such a huge expense. One day I will own one or two of them and I will really think about it at that time, using videos like these. So, thank you!
I came to PML through DR 2 ….and I fell hard for PML… And the mothership pallets are out of this world. Decadence is such an underdog. I love the palette and those beautiful metallic eyes…….. with mask on ….makes you look so mysterious and the attention I get….OMG!!!💙💙
Alicia because of you I purchased 7 Mothership palettes, the Holiday palette, two quads and the holiday blush/highlighter palette. Her sales never ended and I just going back all December long. It’s my COVID treat to myself ❤️
Midnight Sun has always been he colour story that called to me but I was a little turned off by some of the reviews at the time of launch. I finally got it as a Christmas treat this year - my first PMG palette - and…. 🤦♀️…. It’s absolutely wonderful. I am in love with the mattes and metallics just as much as the special shades. I can understand why it is your favourite. Great video for reference as I’m now contemplating my next PMG. Though I think the blushes are going to be first on the list.
I love this story! And this is why I fight for it so hard! I hear you, and would’ve been unsure myself if I saw those reviews. But I knew there was something special about it that I could describe. All knew is that every time I opened it, I swooned 🥰
I agree with you about Midnight Sun, it is truly, truly wonderful!!! I think it is an especially terrific palette if you have hazel eyes with the khaki green, bronzes and periwinkle/ purple. Bronze seduction has wonderful mattes, especially extreme aubergine, and blitz flame and fire opal are out of this world. But I couldn't agree with you more, gilty pleasure and bronze blaze are a chunky disappointment (especially after you see what PM can do with her metallic shades).
Honestly after watching video, I think I have confirmed once again that I’m happy with just the Midnight sun and Huetopian Dream palettes! 😍😍😍 thank you for the amazing video!!! Definitely would love too see the other quad and 6 pan comparison! 🤩🤩
Do you have a video (and if not could you make one?) of tips and tricks on how to work with Pat McGrath’s formula? I got my very first palette for Christmas and it was so patchy. I got one video on techniques for her formula and learned to use dense brushes which really helped but I’m still struggling to make the special shades really pop. I begged for this palette and really want to learn how to work with it
@@bribri0786 I got midnight sun. They are beautiful beautiful colors and look like they pack a punch in the pans but are pretty lack luster on my eyes. I put an eye primer down but I don’t know if I need a glitter glue, use my fingers? It doesn’t look like other people’s looks
@@katies4521 Oh I have that one. I use the NYX glitter glue for Blood Moon and Astral Solstice to make them stick better. To amp up the shine sometimes I spray my brush with a little bit of setting spray and I’ll pack a little more on if I need to. Wicked Envy and Blitz Violet Orchid are gorgeous but definitely not as shiny so you can try tapping a little bit of Jubilee or Astral Solstice over them with a finger to take them up a notch. Also, I think Alicia mentioned that some of her mattes were really hard-pressed when she first got her Midnight Sun and Pat McGrath sent her a replacement palette. The new one performed a lot better for her after that. So maybe if that doesn’t work you can contact them about getting a replacement? Hope this helps!
@@bribri0786 you are my hero!! I’m screen shotting this and will play with it this week. I’m going to try all the techniques you mentioned. Thank you!!
I love your idea of re-filming lewks with your new camera ❤️ I enjoy watching the videos where you revisit palettes you already own. It helps give me different eyeshadow combinations that I haven’t tried. Plus I get the most use of the palettes I already have and curve the temptation if buying something new 🤗
I loooooove these Mother Pat videos you do! 🥰 They’re so helpful and soothing to watch. I just received my first PML palette- Midnight Sun- a few days ago and I’ve played with it every day. 🖤 It’s amazing. You’re amazing. Thanks so much for making these badass videos!
As far as bronze seduction on a everyday occasion I just use the browns with a shimmer or a liner brush with any of the astral or vr shade. It can definitely be a special occasion palette tho. I used blitz flame on the lid on my 8 year anniversary dinner and ended up engaged. So I'll attribute that to Pat McGrath incredible makeup. 😉 I cried a decent amount and my fiance said wow that fancy makeup really holds up it didn't smudge at all. I do reach for midnight a little more tho.
I LOVE just looking at my palettes 🥰🥰🥰 I have all the MS except 1&7 MS 8&6 are my top palettes/ I use them the most. I have ND glam and a few other blues so I’ve convinced myself I don’t need #1. I have so many Huda palettes, I’ve convinced myself I don’t need #7. BUT with as much as I desire them…. I might get them later on….I’m still resisting though. Please more PML videos, I LOVE watching these videos.
Seriously, this video was so helpful. Next 30% off sale im going to grab midnight sun & subversive once back in stock. It really is difficult to decide which palette to get. You helped me make my decision. Thank u!!!
Alicia, your description of each palette 👌🏾! You are so on point with the use of the palette. I have owned all of the mothership palettes, but sadly only 5 have survived. That decision was made based on use! Mothership II, III, V, are no longer with us. Huetopian dream was regifted because I wasn’t excited about it. I made a practical and conscious decision to use what I purchase. I’m happy with what I have now. We definitely need a 6 pan and quad round up! 🙌🏾
I love the Dark brown from the Sublime palette all over the lid and crease and then Bronze 005 sparkled in the center lid as a highlight. Actually I want most of the palettes… subliminal… decadence…. 😩 (Already owning 100+ palettes…. ) Thank you, Alicia for being a reliable source for in-depth reviews. 🥰
My personal rule for makeup is if I buy it, I have to be willing to wear it to work. So all of Mother’s palettes are daily palettes for me! I’m not sure if this would work for everyone, but not wearing mascara or colors that contrast too much makes a huge difference. My application has to be a little more contained to accentuate the natural contours of my eyes and placement under the eyes minimal. But it looks pretty and soft and accentuates the eyes using high shine, color, and sparkle, over contrast.
Omg yes pls remake videos so fun! Also you should make that with other products you have already like a revisit what you own omg!!!!!! Cant wait to see them
I appreciate you so much! I think I may have said this under one of your VIseart videos, but I needed some confirmation about wearing only 1 color (maybe something in the crease, too). I get overhwlemed trying to figure out which colors will look good together. With Pat and Viseart, one color really does wear well alone!
I’d love it if you did a pairing video! My favorite thing is taking a Mothership and using the quads and 6-pans as color story expansions. You do a lot of pairings, so would be a super fun video!
Omgosh woman 🙋🏽♀️ I am here for this refreshed tour of PML. It has a great... study of PML artistry... workshop feel. There is no FOMO vibe. Also you made me LOL like 800 times! The shaking of the swatch for intensity 🤣🤣😂
I love the Motherships; they’re such uniquely curated palettes that offer high quality shadows in a variety of formulas. If I were starting my collection over, I would only keep all my motherships II-IX, MTHRSHP in La Vie En Rose and Dark Star, my blitz astral quads, my Viseart Editorial, Dark mattes, milieu and just purchase some indies from Clionadh, Devinah, and Terra Moons.
I am over the moon in finding your channel. No matter how my day is going, I am smiling and in a great mood after just a few minutes into watching. I think Mother should really consider making you a brand ambassador. (Just my thoughts) Happy New Year, Miss A!!!!
2 tricks I use for hard pan: gently brush it w a fluffier spoolie or use some scotch tape and press it down and lift up (repeat w fresh tape if needed)
I've only kept Mothership V for two shades: Extreme Aubergine and Rose Gold 005. The red makes my eyes water and I have similar in one of the holiday 2019 quads, two of the shades have ridiculous hardpan and aren't unique enough to put in the effort to make them work, the rest of the regular shades are kind of generic and the shades at the end are too flaky (though the artistry wand helps). My favorites are Midnight Sun and DRII. Both are everyday wearable for me and have the punch for more fun looks.
A few things! I apologize for the late upload, as I was dealing with export issues 😪 Secondly, I'm well aware that this came after the VIP Sale, but I am fully confident that Mother will have another sale soon. Lastly, I forgot to say Happy New Year 😅 FIRST VIDGEO OF THE YEAR!!!
Happy New Year, Alicia 🎊🎉🎈🥰
Hey, yeah my concealer shade was sold out and a few other things i wanted. Totally missed out on the mother 30% off sale😠
Happy New Year!!! I was unable to get the things I wanted.. thank you for doing this for us, I appreciate it !
As a non Pat McGrath palette owner I do want to thank your explicit attention to detail. Your videos helped me decide on my 1st Pat palette. Keep em coming!
Love your expertise !
I’m going to go ahead and manifest this now: Mothership X should be 10 blitz astral shades. I. Would. Dieeeee
Yesssss!!!
A palette of 10 blitz astral shades?! The shiver of joy that just went through me…
Yes! It really is what it should be. 100
Omg. That would be INSANE. 😱😭🤣
A palette of PMG sparkly duochromes? 🎊
Always appreciate the amount of time, care, and details that you put in explaining PMG. So many people dismiss the Motherships because they don’t understand the formulas or techniques and your videos are such a breath of fresh air.
Ivy! Thank you so much for saying that!! I almost re filmed it, because there were a few points I missed, but I’ll cover them in a future video 😏
This 👆🏾! Pat should consider more instructional videos on her UA-cam channel like ND and LE.
@@nykka3 I agree!
@@nykka3 Or just make Alicia her official UA-cam Mothership Tutorial Teacher! 😊
I use Bronze Seduction every damn day! It brings me so much joy!!! Life is too short not to wear my SPARKLES everyday ✨😍🥰. I find all the shades sooo flattering and I can easily wear them sheer for more toned down look OR build them up for the VA VA VOOM!
So true. Life is short…sparkle on lol
I totally agree!!👏👏😆
Me too !!!!
Does anyone like to watch videos about makeup they already own? I have every PML palette yet I can’t watch enough of these videos 😂
🙋🏾♀️ lol I love it. Keeps me excited about makeup I have so I use it more
totally, even tho I don't own all the palettes, but it is actually making me feel I want to use more often my PMG
Same here!
Ugh. Using a Mothership is just such an experience. You get to enjoy the beautiful artwork on the box, then you take out that gorgeous black weighted palette, and when you open it you have all these beautiful sparkly shades staring back at you.
I hope Pat gives us more VR shades soon. Besides the blitz formula, the VR ones are my absolute favorites. My all time top 5 Pat shades in no particular order: VR Pink and Gigabyte (Subversive), Citrine Envy (Celestial Odyssey), Blitz Violet Orchid (Midnight Sun), and VR Emerald (Nocturnal Nirvana).
Honorable mentions: Blitz Amethyst (Subversive), Twighlight Bronze (Voyeuristic Vixen), Lapis Luxury (Decadence), VR Fire Opal (Bronze Seduction), Blitz Emerald (Sublime), and Golden Polaris (Interstellar Icon).
Ugh subversive D: I wanted to get it as my first Mothership but it was sold out. I have too much makeup now and I need to know my palettes/singles so it’s gonna take a while for me to have the Subversive until I finish that repeat shade in Sublime D:
A whole palette of all VR would be amazing

All day everyday!
I could listen to you talk about palettes literally for days. I just made my first PML purchase…Desert Orchid blush and the under eye setting powder. I’m still waiting for the perfect palette to take the plunge!
Totally agree 💯
Same girl! I can't wear warm tones as much as I prefer cool tones so the options are quite limited as of now
Alicia, I would wear mama Pat to go grocery shopping, clean the house or clean the yard. In other words I am going places and with style 😉😁
I think it’s so funny the definition of “everyday wearable” is different for everybody. Mothership 5 & 6 are my favorite for everyday while 3 & 9 are more special occasion for me. I’d love to see more astral blitz quads from Miss Pat. Love these kinds of videos to re inspire us to open up old pallets to stop buying all the new releases lol
Same
Very similar for me 5 & 1 are everyday, 3 & 4 special occasions
Lol So true. I own 6 of the 9 mthrshps and Bronze seduction is my most worn. Even though I have divine rose 1 and 2. I'm such a glam makeup girl, that bronze seduction is an everyday palette for me. Lol
Would love a guide to the quads
I have every single Mothership but still watching all of these videos about Pat.
Your enthusiasm is so infectious when speaking about these paletes. A six/four pan video would be appreciated. BTW: Any predictions about Mothership 10?

You could put so many colors on your eyes and it would just turn out so gorgeous never muddy lol. I also love how easy they are to use. I have no idea how people say they are patchy or hard to blend. They must not be using good brushes or something. I’m definitely no pro but I have never had a problem ever. I love them all and absolutely think they are worth the money. Not to mention Pat’s shadows are the only shadows that last all day long on my hooded eyes. My eyes literally look the same at the end of the night as they did when I applied them.
What I love about PML is how special the shadows are. Unlike anything in my collection, they are just so special. And she’s so generous, giving us good sales so often, so more people are able to experience her products. Her brand isn’t perfect but I definitely will support, especially as a fellow black woman.
Speaking as a person of colour (similar shades to Jackie Aina) I know if you haven't had an experience of a PMGL palette you'll look and think "that won't suit/show up on me". That is NOT the case with Pat TRUST me!! We can use any colour, she has really thought through the colours, in layers even. E.g I can use DV1 on my whole face... contour/bronzer, highlight, eye ... everything!!
My all time favourite multi use palette is her 2020 Quad Fleur Fantasia... seriously, eyes cheeks, lips. Love it; love all of it! 😍 Even if I have to be very choosy and save for the sale I am so happy with her product. Don't get me wrong, I'm not so obsessed I can't see the flaws, but for each question mark there's an exclamation mark!
Love DR1 so much! It definitely works!
The detail you put into your videos is unmatched! 🙌 Thank you for all the hard work you put into your content. Always love tuning in-especially to your PML videos. You’re my go-to! 👏
Edit: One person’s “glam” look may be another person’s “every day” look and vice versa. Such a good reminder!
in defense of Bronze seduction, the brown mattes make lovely smoothe bronzers/ contours (depending on yor skintone). Side note: this video was everything & I look forward to more! ✨
Who wouldn't want a guide for the rest PM palettes formats from you!? I mean, YES PLEASE!!!! P.S.: I'm dying of excitement for your review over the new mother's products!! Can't wait for your review on those highlighters!
this is pure gem..no one ever breaks down Pat mcgrath palette like you do..thank you
LOVE THIS!!!! I have MS 1, 2, 5, 7 & 8. Had MS 4, but gave it to my cousin. Now I'm looking at MS 3 like "😏 how YOU doin?" 🤣🤣🤣 I have even more appreciation now for each color story, all the different formulas... Beyond! Love what you did on your eyes w/MS 1 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩 Can't wait for MS 10 🤤🤤🤤 And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🥳🎉🥂
Bronze Seduction is my go-to , xtreme aubergine in the crease and winged out, blitz flame all over the lid, and the astral shades on the brow bone, inner corner, and as highlight.. show stopping.
I’m commenting as I watch so sorry for all the comments lol. But Subversive is still my favorite palette. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen her video, but there’s another UA-camr named Regina who does makeup videos, and she has one on Subversive that’s just AMAZING. She goes by PICTURRESQUE and her video has your same Pat McGrath energy. It’s what made me buy it and after that I was hooked lol.
Oh man! So I kept telling myself, I won't buy these motherships, I'll never use colors like that, I'll never, I'll never. But I love them! I have four, and just ordered two more. Now, I'm an older gal but, I love Pats colors too. They can be used subtly too. The way these shadows blend... oh my goodness! The color payoff, yep, sooooo good. I love how knowledgeable you are about the products you use, and how well you understand them . I really enjoy sharing time with you. Thank you!
The only Mothership I own is Divine Rose I as it’s the perfect ColorStory for me. I’m really looking forward to see what Mother Pat offers in the Mothership X palette. I would love a green dominant palette 💚
I love that you love Midnight sun! It's so underrated!
I bought Midnight Sun recently which is my first mothership palette. I’m really enjoying it! Totally agree that it’s one of the most versatile. It’s really wearable for me and my life style. I’ve been wearing Taboo as a blush recently and on my skin tone it’s pretty without being pink. While the experience definitely has me eyeing more I can’t imagine picking any other up right now. My main criticism with Pat McGrath recently is that everything is just too pink. I feel like it’s been nothing but pink palettes for 2 years. Pinks can be beautiful, flattering, and wonderful but I’m sick to death of them. Coincidentally, depending on the tone, they also make me look sick when wearing them.
Alicia + Pat McGrath video?
I'm here for it!! Looooovveeee iiiitttt!!😍😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩
Lol “what are they doing and where are they going ??”Love it ! That’s my eyes everyday working remotely 😂 ❤️thanks for this updated video !
It’s like girl where are you pretending to go today ?! Haha
You are a resource library for all things pml. This is a must see and Subliminal has you looking all sorts of smoky (Cap Yami 🚬 ) goodness! 😂👏👏
No way!!!! I just rewatched the Mothership guide from 2018(?) A few days ago And wondered if I missed the updated video.... Here it is 🥰
I think MTHRSHP VI is a silent sleeper! I think it’s actually just know starting to receive it’s flowers in the past 2 years. I have loved it from the beginning.
Yes to more PML videos!!!
Ps: I’m waiting for shipping notification for the PML X Bridgerton Collection 💖💜🙌🏼👏🏼
Yes! Exactly what I needed, because I decided this year I'm finally going to invest in a Pat McGrath palette, and spent quite a bit time examining the palettes online last night. Thank you!
Alicia + Pat McGrath my favourite type of videos! 😁
Please give us New looks for these palettes!!! I own all of them and have them displayed in my vanity but I NEVER reach for them! But I love them so much! 🥰 I bed inspo and this video def helped.
Not Alicia promoting the mothership palettes more than Pat does LOL. Love this video though sis. I own 5,6,8, and 9, and honestly it's just art. There is so much into these palettes that doesn't get talked about enough. I'm always inspired when I use Pat's makeup (literally my fav brand atm).
Bronze seduction was my first PM Palette as a new makeup user at that time and it's still kinda intimidating for me. What you said about it really helped me clarified my thoughts. I want to try to use it more but want to look up some inspiration.. I'm sure enough have some videos. I take a look
Alicia get out of my head! My mom and I just watched your original "Which Mothership is Right For You" during the sale and were talking about how we could use an updated vidgeo! What do you you think we're getting for #10? I want an all special shade pallet in jewel tones...
I didn't know I needed subversive but those grungy but rich smoky delicious shades 😜🤪
Midnight sun is still my favorite I just love the color story
This has been a great vid, Alicia. To see ALL of PM's Mothership palettes in one vid! Wow! Would love to see you bring in a similar vid for Natasha Denona palettes too.
I was waiting for this viddddddd!!!!!!!
I didn’t regret following any of your recommendations!!!!
The last one was midnight sun last month! And oh my god how underloved is thaaaat! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Yes please , do a video with the quads and with the six pans😍🤩😍🤩😍
Hey Alicia! 👋🏽
I legit was going through all of my PMG Mothership palettes when I popped this on. LoL. I own all of them but your review of Midnight Sun made me look at it another way and truly appreciate it. Thank you for your thorough review and explanations. Also, please do the quads and 6 pans! Would definitely love to see it. 🥰
this subliminal eyelook is GORGEOUS. please do a tutorial!
I love divine mink and the Decadence palette was my first Mothership because I love shiny, shifty, metallics and jewel tones pow! I would love to see "new" tutorials on the PM Motherships! I love your videos, descriptions of the Palettes (and makeup in general) and passion for what you do.❤
My *favorite* Mothership palette is a tie between Divine Rose II and Midnight Sun. I can rely on either one to give me one bangin' hot eye look or, conversely, something that won't have me being stared at like I'm an alien on the bus! My least favorite of my 4 is Bronze Seduction because it contains 2 shades with PET glitter in them, which irritates my eyes tremendously. Yet, THAT was the palette I used when I went to see Muse in concert in downtown Phoenix! An intense aubergine and red moment with some duochrome over part of the red mid lid. As for my 4th, Decadence, I do love it a lot, but I have to be in a specific mindset to use it, because it is major metal!
Totally agree with all comments saying how grateful they are for your thoughtful and comprehensive reviews. Also love the reminder to use what you have.
I can watch you hype Midnight Sun all day long! It’s my favorite too, but a couple shades have gone hard pan on me. I pulled decadence out today and wore it for zoom meetings all day. Made me fall in love with my Pat again!
I got Midnight Sun because of you, and I LOVE it!
Alicia, you described the palettes perfectly. I own three, and my favorite is Midnight Sun; also my first. After watching this, I would really like to purchase Divine Rose, which is crazy because I am 65.
Girl! I'm known for going grocery shopping with my astral shades on!! And in the middle of a pandemic! 😂 I don't really care what people think but I totally get that these shades just grab people's attention, I've been complimented so many times! Which I love because all my life I've been only wearing matte browns and now I just want to experiment with all the colours! I only have bronze seduction, DR2 and midnight sun and I love them all.. but my fave is bronze seduction because I love brown shades and the red shade is amazing.. also the astral shades in that palette are stunning! I also love DR2 for a more wearable and soft look and the duochrome shade is of another world 😱 midnight sun is so versatile and my favourite shade is the moss green ❤ thank you for this video, I will never get tired of watching you talking about pats palettes so please do as many revisits as you like!💗 I would also love it if you did the same with Natasha denona as it's another of my favourites😍
I picked up Subliminal during the Winter sale. The only one I’m missing is Bronze Seduction….maybe I’ll pick it up next time but I’m in no rush. I love the color story but that red is off putting…. I should give it a shot. Still on the fence. Decadence pleasantly surprised me the most. I feel I can wear that palette on the regular…great “one and done” shades!
The red puts me off too so I don’t use that as much but the rest are nice!
Midnight Sun is my fave too, and I find it very versatile for my skintone. 😍❤ As always I dig the anime references Alicia, but if I can also show my bias here... I don't think anything screams more flamboyant (including poses) than JoJo's. I mean Golden Wind era is just 😱😅, have you seen the poster art and the Gucci collabs? It's so extra, and I'm sad I missed out on the Vans collab sneakers a few years ago.
The level of detail shown in your videos when you school us on the mothership palettes is superb! 👏🏽👏🏽
I appreciate these sorts of videos since these palettes are such a huge expense. One day I will own one or two of them and I will really think about it at that time, using videos like these. So, thank you!
Always Alicia 💖💜 Always Pat McGrath 💖💜
I came to PML through DR 2 ….and I fell hard for PML… And the mothership pallets are out of this world. Decadence is such an underdog. I love the palette and those beautiful metallic eyes…….. with mask on ….makes you look so mysterious and the attention I get….OMG!!!💙💙
Yes please, the 6 pans and quad guides 😍
Alicia because of you I purchased 7 Mothership palettes, the Holiday palette, two quads and the holiday blush/highlighter palette. Her sales never ended and I just going back all December long. It’s my COVID treat to myself ❤️
I appreciate your support! And I have a feeling that she’ll have another sale 😅
Can you revisit the PM foundation, concealer and powder?
Midnight Sun has always been he colour story that called to me but I was a little turned off by some of the reviews at the time of launch. I finally got it as a Christmas treat this year - my first PMG palette - and…. 🤦♀️…. It’s absolutely wonderful. I am in love with the mattes and metallics just as much as the special shades. I can understand why it is your favourite.
Great video for reference as I’m now contemplating my next PMG. Though I think the blushes are going to be first on the list.
I love this story! And this is why I fight for it so hard! I hear you, and would’ve been unsure myself if I saw those reviews. But I knew there was something special about it that I could describe. All knew is that every time I opened it, I swooned 🥰
Would love to see this type of video for the PML QUADS 😍😍💕
I agree with you about Midnight Sun, it is truly, truly wonderful!!! I think it is an especially terrific palette if you have hazel eyes with the khaki green, bronzes and periwinkle/ purple. Bronze seduction has wonderful mattes, especially extreme aubergine, and blitz flame and fire opal are out of this world. But I couldn't agree with you more, gilty pleasure and bronze blaze are a chunky disappointment (especially after you see what PM can do with her metallic shades).
Honestly after watching video, I think I have confirmed once again that I’m happy with just the Midnight sun and Huetopian Dream palettes! 😍😍😍 thank you for the amazing video!!! Definitely would love too see the other quad and 6 pan comparison! 🤩🤩
Do you have a video (and if not could you make one?) of tips and tricks on how to work with Pat McGrath’s formula? I got my very first palette for Christmas and it was so patchy. I got one video on techniques for her formula and learned to use dense brushes which really helped but I’m still struggling to make the special shades really pop. I begged for this palette and really want to learn how to work with it
Which one did you get? Some of the more textured shades work better when applied with fingers, or when wet for the most shine/color payoff.
@@bribri0786 I got midnight sun. They are beautiful beautiful colors and look like they pack a punch in the pans but are pretty lack luster on my eyes. I put an eye primer down but I don’t know if I need a glitter glue, use my fingers? It doesn’t look like other people’s looks
@@katies4521 Oh I have that one. I use the NYX glitter glue for Blood Moon and Astral Solstice to make them stick better. To amp up the shine sometimes I spray my brush with a little bit of setting spray and I’ll pack a little more on if I need to. Wicked Envy and Blitz Violet Orchid are gorgeous but definitely not as shiny so you can try tapping a little bit of Jubilee or Astral Solstice over them with a finger to take them up a notch.
Also, I think Alicia mentioned that some of her mattes were really hard-pressed when she first got her Midnight Sun and Pat McGrath sent her a replacement palette. The new one performed a lot better for her after that. So maybe if that doesn’t work you can contact them about getting a replacement? Hope this helps!
@@bribri0786 you are my hero!! I’m screen shotting this and will play with it this week. I’m going to try all the techniques you mentioned. Thank you!!
@@katies4521 Happy to help! ☺️
I’ve been watching all of your older PML videos! This is right on time! Thanks Alicia ❤️❤️❤️
I owe you lots of new vids!
@@aliciaarcher I’ll be waiting! Happy new year!!
I love your idea of re-filming lewks with your new camera ❤️ I enjoy watching the videos where you revisit palettes you already own. It helps give me different eyeshadow combinations that I haven’t tried. Plus I get the most use of the palettes I already have and curve the temptation if buying something new 🤗
As a collector of these palettes, Midnight Sun was the one I was least excited for but now that I have it, it’s my most used and my favorite!
I loooooove these Mother Pat videos you do! 🥰 They’re so helpful and soothing to watch. I just received my first PML palette- Midnight Sun- a few days ago and I’ve played with it every day. 🖤 It’s amazing. You’re amazing. Thanks so much for making these badass videos!
As far as bronze seduction on a everyday occasion I just use the browns with a shimmer or a liner brush with any of the astral or vr shade. It can definitely be a special occasion palette tho. I used blitz flame on the lid on my 8 year anniversary dinner and ended up engaged. So I'll attribute that to Pat McGrath incredible makeup. 😉 I cried a decent amount and my fiance said wow that fancy makeup really holds up it didn't smudge at all. I do reach for midnight a little more tho.
You are the queen of PMG palette reviews, hands down!!!!!
I LOVE just looking at my palettes 🥰🥰🥰 I have all the MS except 1&7
MS 8&6 are my top palettes/ I use them the most.
I have ND glam and a few other blues so I’ve convinced myself I don’t need #1. I have so many Huda palettes, I’ve convinced myself I don’t need #7.
BUT with as much as I desire them…. I might get them later on….I’m still resisting though.
Please more PML videos, I LOVE watching these videos.
Seriously, this video was so helpful. Next 30% off sale im going to grab midnight sun & subversive once back in stock. It really is difficult to decide which palette to get. You helped me make my decision. Thank u!!!
Alicia, your description of each palette 👌🏾! You are so on point with the use of the palette. I have owned all of the mothership palettes, but sadly only 5 have survived. That decision was made based on use! Mothership II, III, V, are no longer with us. Huetopian dream was regifted because I wasn’t excited about it.
I made a practical and conscious decision to use what I purchase. I’m happy with what I have now.
We definitely need a 6 pan and quad round up! 🙌🏾
I love the Dark brown from the Sublime palette all over the lid and crease and then Bronze 005 sparkled in the center lid as a highlight. Actually I want most of the palettes… subliminal… decadence…. 😩 (Already owning 100+ palettes…. ) Thank you, Alicia for being a reliable source for in-depth reviews. 🥰
My personal rule for makeup is if I buy it, I have to be willing to wear it to work. So all of Mother’s palettes are daily palettes for me! I’m not sure if this would work for everyone, but not wearing mascara or colors that contrast too much makes a huge difference. My application has to be a little more contained to accentuate the natural contours of my eyes and placement under the eyes minimal. But it looks pretty and soft and accentuates the eyes using high shine, color, and sparkle, over contrast.
Yes to updated tutorials!
Omg yes pls remake videos so fun! Also you should make that with other products you have already like a revisit what you own omg!!!!!! Cant wait to see them
I appreciate you so much! I think I may have said this under one of your VIseart videos, but I needed some confirmation about wearing only 1 color (maybe something in the crease, too). I get overhwlemed trying to figure out which colors will look good together. With Pat and Viseart, one color really does wear well alone!
Is currently putting Bronze Seduction on to wear to work lol, that Extreme aubergine is incredible! Great guide! x
I’d love it if you did a pairing video! My favorite thing is taking a Mothership and using the quads and 6-pans as color story expansions. You do a lot of pairings, so would be a super fun video!
Please redo your old PMG Mothership tutorials!😍 LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
They boost my mood and inspire a lot💖
Absolutely! Bronze Seduction is next!
Omgosh woman 🙋🏽♀️ I am here for this refreshed tour of PML. It has a great... study of PML artistry... workshop feel. There is no FOMO vibe. Also you made me LOL like 800 times! The shaking of the swatch for intensity 🤣🤣😂
A Pat-pedia!! Thanks, Alicia. It's a good guide 🙌🏽
Very helpful! I wish brands would make more cool tones. I'm kinda warm bronzed out. Subliminal looks ok but not amazing uf that makes sense
This video is exactly what i need 😍😍😍 i could watch you talk about the motherships for hours, youre the reason i now own 2 🤣🤣🤣
I love the Motherships; they’re such uniquely curated palettes that offer high quality shadows in a variety of formulas. If I were starting my collection over, I would only keep all my motherships II-IX, MTHRSHP in La Vie En Rose and Dark Star, my blitz astral quads, my Viseart Editorial, Dark mattes, milieu and just purchase some indies from Clionadh, Devinah, and Terra Moons.
I wear blitz flame as a liner all the time , a red lip and a little bit of astral and I’m out the door feeling fabulous :D
I am over the moon in finding your channel. No matter how my day is going, I am smiling and in a great mood after just a few minutes into watching. I think Mother should really consider making you a brand ambassador. (Just my thoughts) Happy New Year, Miss A!!!!
2 tricks I use for hard pan: gently brush it w a fluffier spoolie or use some scotch tape and press it down and lift up (repeat w fresh tape if needed)
You are the Pat McGrath QUEEN!
I've only kept Mothership V for two shades: Extreme Aubergine and Rose Gold 005. The red makes my eyes water and I have similar in one of the holiday 2019 quads, two of the shades have ridiculous hardpan and aren't unique enough to put in the effort to make them work, the rest of the regular shades are kind of generic and the shades at the end are too flaky (though the artistry wand helps). My favorites are Midnight Sun and DRII. Both are everyday wearable for me and have the punch for more fun looks.
