It’s so interesting to see how people use that hourglass trio you showed as a highlighter. I’m very very fair and I mix the 3 powders together and it’s my bronzer 😂
I can completely relate to the lesson you learned through this declutter. I found out two years ago that I do not like using face palettes. I hate when I cannot use all the shades in a palette because it makes me feel like I'm not getting the full value. I am super pale with an olive undertone, so colours can look wildly different on me than they do on others. I have never found a face palette that has multiple shades that I can use. The only one I own that gets any use is the Hourglass palette that you showed. I mix all three shades together to tone down the deeper side enough for it to work on my super pale complexion. So knowing that I have been able to talk myself out of any face palette releases. :)
That makes a lot of sense - why buy a whole palette when only one or two shades really work? I'm lucky in that I'm light, but not pale, and mostly neutral, so I can pull most shades off. I still have to be careful with cheek palettes though. I've become more more selective over the years. Isn't it great when we have an easy excuse to talk ourselves out of things?
I love to refill palettes all the time and I love doing that! Palettes rarely work for me as I have light olive skin and most cream foundation or concealer colors in palettes don’t work. But I love all the different colors in them. So I take out the cream complexion colors and add in my own cream foundation or concealer from pots or sticks that are my olive colors. I have no problem discarding the colors that don’t work. Or I depot those into a little container and give them to my nieces if those colors work for them. You can depot the powders in that first palette and crush the powder and either leave it loose or repress. Love declutters!
Add in some blushes either cream or repress powder blushes or highlighter colors that you love and you will already have the bro set color you love in that first palette. Do not throw it away. Just play!
Aww it warmed my heart when you talked about giving that Patrick Ta palette to your niece because of the joy on her face. That’s how I am with my nieces (who have never bought makeup because I love to buy way too much makeup and give it to them in the end). Just found your channel and you sound lovely. New subbie
I love the Nude gasm too and the Hourglass palettes ❤Chantecaille has a buffing brush in travel size that fits nicely into the 6 pan size if you loose your patience with Sonia H😅
Those Charlotte Tilbury face palettes are so pretty! Great job whittling down your collection. It will be interesting to see if you get more use out of your highlighters if theyre stored differently. I got a new makeup setup and i feel like ive reconnected with a lot of my makeup just by organzing things differently 😄
Isn't it great how we can reconnect with things just by simply reorganizing them? I'm really looking forward to reorganizing my makeup once this whole declutter is over.
that dent in your single compact of the hourglass finishing powder is inspiring honestly, I have a mini of one of the glowier finishing powders and you'd think it was brand new despite semiregular use!
It's CRAZY how hard it is to pan hourglass finishing powders! I know exactly what you mean, because I've been using the hourglass travel palettes semi-regularly for a couple of years now and they still look brand new.
I've really enjoyed this video! Thank you 🤗 I would keep those powders from the Bobbi Brown palette - you like them and use them in the full palette, so you will get to them. Maybe add some cream products into the empty slots now, rather than wait for to finish those 2 powders👌
Thanks for the feedback, Penny! That is a good point: the bronzer is great and the powder is useful, even if it's not my favorite. I'll have to see what cream products I'd like to put in the other slots.
I'm loving your Adagio Beauty videos and approach, Stephanie! I was just thinking how upset I would be if I opened my Nabla eyeshadow palettes to find them moldy or stinky, and knowing I set them aside to use eyeshadow I don't love just because I felt guilty for buying more and was trying to use up the other stuff. I just did a big declutter of all my makeup after having a color analysis. At least I got rid of the colors that don't work for me, but maybe I need to let go of even more. Man, I'm so glad I learned this early in my makeup journey (I just discovered makeup a couple years ago in my late 50s). I bought too much starting out, but now I know how long it takes to use something up, and I won't make that mistake again. I wish more content creators would mention this--how long it takes to use up a product (even minis!), as I had no idea. I loved your comment "I want to try everything, but I don't want to own everything." I'm not going to buy something I don't need just because it would be fun to try, and then it ends up sitting in a drawer for months or even years because I have too many other similar things I need to use up. Thank you for helping with all this!!
Thanks for taking a moment to let me know and leave such a thoughtful comment! I'm so glad to know that I can pass on the lessons I've learned so that not everyone has to learn the hard way, like I did. You're so right: I'd also love to see more creators talk about how long it takes to use things up. If you're looking for other creators, Natasha from @TooMuchTash and Sarah from @SarahRoseBeauty discuss those things sometimes. And the entire project panning community does too! (Although they all seem to use up makeup faster than I ever could). Two that immediately come to mind are Kim from @TeacherLovesBeauty and Jen from Project Beauty (@xxxaixo).
I legit snorted at the comment about HMT and brows - opposite may be an understatement there! 😂 Yall both look gorgeous with your different brow styles!
It’s true - there are so many great aesthetics out there (including for brows) and I really enjoy seeing them all. I’ve blocked my brows for certain looks, dyed them wild colors, even shaved them once. But out of all the things I’ve tried, “caterpillar” brows remain my favorite. 😂
You'll love that Sonia G Brush. Just it if curiosity, i grabbed mine and it fits nicely in the hourglass palette. Not a ton of swirly space, but much more space than with the one you have now. I'm going to try your technique also. It sounds brilliant.
Thank you for this helpful and very enjoyable video. It encouraged me to get up and use my Hourglass Dim Light finishing powder before completing the video. Just as lovely as I remembered. I have yet to use a blush that I enjoy more than the Hourglass Incandescent Electra.
Hourglass really does make lovely powders! I'm glad I could inspire you to use your Dim Light powder! Thanks so much for letting me know. It was lovely hearing from you, Gail.
I like the nail polish you have on in this. It's fancy. I can understand saving very useful packaging. I've still got the travel bag from an air mattress I bought in 2008 where the mattress only lasted a few months. The bag comes in handy for storing some of my extra bed linens. And I find that holiday cookie tins magically come in handy at times. High quality and something to keep you from wastefully spending money? those Hourglass palettes are something special. I hope the plan with the new buffing brush works for you. That's the kind of plan that I sometimes have with things, but they usually fall apart in my case. As much as I advocate for the idea that it's better to get exactly what you want rather than settle for good/close enough, I think your discussion of the nude blushes is a viable exception. Especially considering that the close enough open lets you spread joy to someone else by decluttering an intact palette. The highlighter palettes are perfect examples of how your organization system and chopping block/time will tell box should work for you. Drama isn't necessary in a de-clutter, but getting satisfaction out of it or having a realization that changes your thinking moving forward is a great end result. One of the things I'm still trying to wrap my brain around has to do with the usage you get out of the different products. So many of them that you show on camera look to me like they are brand new or rarely get used because they look so neat and tidy, especially the ones that have a design or text embossed into the surface. I get that it's probably a consistency thing and that in actual application you're using some sort of brush and not jabbing your finger down into the product. I suppose if I were a makeup user, my brain would have an easier go of it. The notification of this video on my phone was the perfect topper to what has been probably the closest to a normal feeling day I've had in a long time. So thanks for that. 😊
Thank you! I had fun with that manicure. Sometimes repurposed packaging is better than the thing that came inside of it. And you are so right about holiday cookie tins - those things have so many uses. I've been feeling good about keeping that palette with the perfect nude blush in the "Time Will Tell" box and haven't reached for it since. The joy of giving away a fully intact palette outweighs the "perfection" of that one shade in this case. When it comes to powder products, some makeup users deliberately drill into their powders with their brushes because they enjoy the satisfaction of seeing how much product they use. For me, it's all about even application and thin, natural layers. My technique wears down most things pretty evenly, so they look brand new for a very long time, despite regular use. And baked gelee formulas with embossing on them (like the Charlotte Tilbury palette) seem to take even longer for me to wear down because a little seems to go such a long way. So I can definitely see how you would think that they look unused. As someone who knows how regularly I use some of those powders, even I am shocked that there aren't more signs of use. I am SO glad to hear that you had something approximating a normal day! And I'm also very glad that I was able to be a part of it. It's always so lovely to hear your thoughtful responses, Zach. Thanks for being you!
@TheStyleStumbler I guess I got one day of almost normal before being battered by waves of the stupid... c'est la vie. Thinking about it, application does play a big role in how "used" things can look. I've experienced it where products seem brand new and freshly opened until the moment it's used up. I suppose everyone has their way that works for them.
Yet again it was so fun to see the overlap in our collections. I love my CT Instant Look in a Palette. My NARS ‘O on the Beach’ is sentimental because hubby picked it out for me at Sephora in Las Vegas. And I also have what you called your ‘Summer’ Hourglass palette. But have depotted and mixed some of the shades together to make it work for me. I think this was a nice gentle declutter. Like you said, now your collection has some breathing room. I was looking for that shade of the Bobbi Brown bronzer and it looks like it’s no longer available. Such a shame, what a BEAUTIFUL shade! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Those CT palettes really are handy. And how great that you have a great memory to be reminded of any time you open your NARS palette. I was kind of shocked that Bobbi Brown discontinued that shade because it really is pretty. But luckily the market is so oversaturated with beautiful bronzers that I'm sure there are at least 100 to take its place. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment, Kyra! It's always lovely to hear from you.
Nudegasm is one of few palettes that i think would work for my skin. I have the NY hy glam palette from this year and its great. I do love the look and they are good value even if not all of the products are used. They are usually the price of two items.
That's a good point - face palettes often have a good price per product. The HY Glam palette eyeshadows really caught my eye, but the combined pans of the cheek product made me a little dubious. How have the face powders been working for you?
@@TheStyleStumbler The whole palette has been useful for me. I have far more variety of looks than I would assume. The shadows need to be applied with a finger. It’s the easiest way to look put together. Not too beachy, not too evening, not too any one season. Pairs well with so much else if desired. I use the BK 112 or rephr 37.
Oohh, I don’t think I would declutter the full sized luxury products in favor of only minis if they are daily use functional items-like the hourglass finishing powder. You might burn through that mini in a month and find that you need to repurchase.
That's a good point - I only usually use the mini version when I travel, but if I used it often it might run out faster than I'd like. Thanks for that!
Thank you for the lovely video! You asked what we would do with the Bobbi Brown (BB) powder refills in the otherwise empty BB palette - I would take them out, put some Glad Wrap on them and put them away in an envelope - that way they would not take up any significant space in my drawers. They are powders, so keep well for long, and I might later use them either in a G-palette - or in the other Bobbi Brown palette after I use the ones in there. I would probably throw out the resulting empty palette: it creates unneeded bulk.
Thank you for such a thoughtful response, Inna! The inspiration of getting them out and creating space in my drawers is great. Having less in my everyday makeup setup is definitely a priority.
Hello my beautiful Stephanie. I think you should get rid of the BB palette that have the two powder/ bronzer . And the CT all palettes and Hourglass face palettes also have bronzers/ powders as well. Just my humble opinion 🎉Much love 😍 from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤🎉
I think ditching the powders is perfectly fine. I will say the Bobbi Brown bronzer that you mentioned is no longer made as far as I can find online. I live in the US though, so that may be the reason.
I noticed that! At first I was sad that it was discontinued, but then I looked at my loooooooooong list of wishlist bronzers and figured out that I'll be able to replace it with something equally as lovely.
Ok so here's what you should do with Bobbi 2: Ditch the powder. Keep the bronzer, because you already decluttered the single pan you had- plus you said you really like the shade. You can either keep it in that pan and just replace it in palette 1 when you've finished that, OR take it out and repress into another pan for use in one of your other palettes elsewhere. 👍
I can understand that. I'm usually able to find combinations that I really like, so it makes sense for me, but skin tones and depths and tastes are so varied that it would be nice to see companies make customizable versions.
Face palettes really are sooooo pretty - and too tempting. Since my complexion is relatively neutral and light without being too fair, a lot of palettes are "made for me". But at the same time, I already own every shade I would want to travel with, so I have to be careful not to over purchase them.
That was the CT Nudegasm palette. (She must have been channeling Nars the day she named it. 😂) Thanks for saying hello! It’s always lovely to hear from you, Åshild. 💛
I discovered I am not a a face palette person at all, so I have kept this part of my collection to the absolute minimum. I have a CT blush/highlighter palette that I travel with and I adore, and a PML trio (which I need to use more and was probably an utterly unnecessary purchase but I am a sucker for Mother and her face product formula is top notch).
It's great that you're aware of your preferences. It took me quite a while to get to that point. CT makes some great cheek products (as does Mother), so I'm not surprised to see that you have those two, especially knowing some of the lovely makeup you have. I have yet to try any PML face products, but if they're as much fun as some of her eyeshadows, they must be beautiful.
@@TheStyleStumbler haha oh it sure took some time to get here, I did have a ton of blush and highlighter palettes that I have decluttered in the meantime. So, the thing about PML's face powder products is how beautiful they look on the skin, AND, their lasting power. If you need a blush that WILL NOT move for 12+ hours, you need to try Mother's formula. I think if I had to pick one shade, that is the embodiment of blush that goes with every look, I would say Nude Venus is that shade.
@@mariam.a. Nude Venus is the shade I've been eyeing lately! I'll have to at least swatch that in store, if nothing else. Thanks for the recommendation!
It’s so interesting to see how people use that hourglass trio you showed as a highlighter. I’m very very fair and I mix the 3 powders together and it’s my bronzer 😂
Skin tone and shade make SUCH a big difference! I can see how it would be more of a bronzer for very very fair people like yourself.
That must be beautiful
Yes!!!!! back in the day when everyone was gushing about the Essence “glow from within” highlighter, I got it as a bronzer

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback, Hayley! I have a feeling that re-panning it might be the way to go.
I’m not a face palette fan because they aren’t usually customizable and there are always shades I don’t like.
I can understand that. I'm usually able to find combinations that I really like, so it makes sense for me, but skin tones and depths and tastes are so varied that it would be nice to see companies make customizable versions.
Why? Face Palettes? Why? 😢
I have an irrational draw to face palettes, and like you, end up not reaching for them as much. But they're so pretty 😍

I have a CT blush/highlighter palette that I travel with and I adore, and a PML trio (which I need to use more and was probably an utterly unnecessary purchase but I am a sucker for Mother and her face product formula is top notch).
It's great that you're aware of your preferences. It took me quite a while to get to that point. CT makes some great cheek products (as does Mother), so I'm not surprised to see that you have those two, especially knowing some of the lovely makeup you have.
I have yet to try any PML face products, but if they're as much fun as some of her eyeshadows, they must be beautiful.
@@TheStyleStumbler haha oh it sure took some time to get here, I did have a ton of blush and highlighter palettes that I have decluttered in the meantime.
So, the thing about PML's face powder products is how beautiful they look on the skin, AND, their lasting power. If you need a blush that WILL NOT move for 12+ hours, you need to try Mother's formula. I think if I had to pick one shade, that is the embodiment of blush that goes with every look, I would say Nude Venus is that shade.
@@mariam.a. Nude Venus is the shade I've been eyeing lately! I'll have to at least swatch that in store, if nothing else. Thanks for the recommendation!
It’s like you know when I wake up and get my hot cocoa…..😂
Looks like we're on a similar hot cocoa schedule! 😂
