I personally think this palette looks beautiful and very wearable. I know people are saying they want colourful palettes from her, but the holiday palette from last year was colourful and is still on sale for 50% off. You can't blame the brand for producing what sells.
Exactly my thoughts!
ppl asking for colorful 10pan palettes with special shades, like it was at the very beginning, not those big ones, where are ordinary mattes and shimmers. Too bright, too big. She could've done wearable version of greens and neutral, what is popular this summer and it would be a super hit, like Natasha Denona Yucca palette is.
@@khrystya_v_namystiPat doesn’t follow what’s popular. She’s on her on trend and what sells for her. The OG palettes were never colorful it was just a pop of 1 color.
I Agree! and tbh I considered buying this one because I'd probably get use out of it. Being pale, the mattes are always too deep for me so I only use them occasionally. That being said, I'll probably pass due to the high cost and that I have what I need already.
I agree. I hated that big colorful ass palette. It didn’t fit the brands aesthetic at all. While I’d like a little more color and exciting color stories, I’m all set with the clown color/combinations.
I wish she would do a green and neutral pallet . I think she has way too many pink pallets and now she doesn't have the special baked shade and she is charging the same amount, it kinda loses its luster when u can't get the mothership with the special baked shades that are more expensive to make but yet she dropped them and is charging the same amount. I'm not that into it for the money but I'm glad u like it .
Green neutrals would be so pretty! Maybe one day 😊
@@simplyblair yes I would jump on that release.. lol Did u see that Sigma was releasing quads on the 15th and they have this green and neutral one that is ready pretty it's called candied or sour apple not sure , I forgot the name they have a pretty neutral one too but I guess their will be more but haven't seen those . I saw the green and the neutral one on Heather Austains Latte makeup look and I was like yes I need those .. lol and I thought of you also .
Omg I haven’t seen the new Sigma quads! How did I miss that?!
@@simplyblair I only saw them on that girls channel the release date is Aug 15 th. I haven't seen them on the new releases for trend mood or anything but the 2 I saw look good
Totally agree with you! I completely understand that people who collect these are disappointed that they are similar; however, I would imagine that the average consumer does not collect them all/ maybe doesn’t collect eyeshadow at all so might not be looking for super colorful/ unique palettes. Personally I only wear neutral eyeshadows and I really don’t buy palettes often, so this kind of “boring / repetitive” palette is actually what interests me! But could see both sides!
Yes! Totally agree!
I agree. Not EVERYONE owns all of her mothership palettes. Myself included have not yet pulled the trigger on any of them but this one really calls to me. I would actually use all the shades in this one.
I agree with you but I have heutopian dream and moonlit seduction, and I can create similar looks!! Also Pat has divine rose1, 2, heutopian dream and moonlit seduction that are almost in the same color family! I am collecting her older palettes now because I am not impressed with more pink options!
I am not even that disappointed with the palette; but with how her team handled constructive criticism- they blocked the people, deleted comments. Guess its time to move on to Natasha denona, as she is bringing more colorful stories. Nonetheless these colors look so pretty on you 😍♥️
This look is so pretty on you. I could almost pick the colors you would use before you did! Love seeing you with a little sun. Gorgeous ❤❤❤
I think personally as a Pat McGrath fan who was disappointed by this release it’s not that I would want a colourful palette - I never wear those myself. I would have LOVED another type of neutral like cool tones (ie glam by Natasha denona) or warm browns… just anything but pink because it’s so repetitive. Natashe denona seems to be able to produce different types of neutrals and is still thriving so it must be possible!
Yes, that’s very true! Natasha does a great job with her color stories
I love how we as makeup lovers can appreciate others opposite style in makeup ❤ you mentioned you do not love red when red is one of my faves for the eyes ❤ but yet I always always always love love love your makeup looks 😊
Pretty!! Love the time stamps😘
Also, I love so much that you switched the shades! I'm going to rewatch this a few times for that alone 😋❤
I agree with your insights totally! But I do think to differentiate this palette more from their previous ones, they could do a way more neutral one with warm and cool neutrals and blitz astral shades or add a pop of a subtle olive or sage green or grey ish purple instead of pink… your eye looks are always pretty
O m g, I am obsessed with this color story! I have only 1 PM palette, but this one would fit my looks so much more! I specifically am excited most for crimson blitz and copper dawn! Also, hypnotic bronze, Astral pink (reminds me of why I love Too Faced) , and Sienna Mystique. Thank you so much for switching these, Blair! Can't wait to see the look you create now that i watched the swatches a billion times lol 😋
I think you are right. Well thought out! Looks stunning on you!❤
I would think Pat McGrath focused on popular shades (think Barbie vibes?) and ease of use with the launch at Ulta. Thanks Blair. The look is beautiful.
You created a gorgeous look! I am totally going to re-create it to see how it'd look on me 😊 when I pick the palette up!
I think it was interesting that they launched at Ulta at this launch point too! I have 8 Motherships, and I have 150+ eyeshadow palettes, I have collected all ABH palettes from the very beginning, I’ll prob end up getting this one too, the completionist in me will make me buy it. I am so happy for Ulta growing with my high-end brands, bc their point system can’t be beat!
I really love the look you did. I did the same look but used the purple special shade on the inner third and it was pretty. The lavender is more mid tone than pastel making it more unique in my collection. I've also used both of the lighter mattes as blush and was surprised at how pretty they were and long lasting.
Oh I want to use them as blush! I hadn’t even thought of that. That lavender shade is beautiful, I can’t wait to use that next time
I love the eye look you did in this video! I’m excited to see you use the other shades in another video- this color story does speak to me (I’m a neutral girlie too). I’m not a PMG collector, partly because she’s a spicy price and partly because I haven’t been interested enough to pull the plunge. I enjoy the Voyeuristic Vixen quad but I’m not sure if I’ll pick this up yet (maybe for 40% off) ✨
Hi Blair! I was also able to catch the 30% off and it’s honestly the only reason i bought it bc I knew it’d take months to go on sale and I only have mothership x. If I had the other rosy motherships or Huetopian it would’ve been a skip! I haven’t used it yet but can’t wait! I wish she would do a true purple color story!! ❤
I will order it but in a few months, It’s beautiful ❤
It does look really pretty on you !!
Beautiful look you got from the palette makes me want it too.
Please make another video showing more eye looks with this palette 💗
great look. the first thing i thought of was barbie vibes when you opened the palette. perfect timing for the movie.
There are no real Blitz Astrals in this one though, only a few youtubers have mentioned that.
I’ve heard that in a few videos, I don’t have any palettes so I wouldn’t really know the difference
Pink toned shadows are probably my favorite on me. (Maybe I’m an Ulta person although I shop more at Sephora!) But I have collected a number of beautiful palettes that have a great variety of pink and pinky brown shades, so I decided a while back that I need to stop getting them. Your eye look today is beautiful! I actually don’t have anything from PM, and so far haven’t found a compelling reason to spend that much money when I can get what I want for much less.
Wow! Stunning. Agreed it’s a beautiful palette. One of my favorite eye looks to date. I’m still considering it. I’m not a huge rosey/ pink fan so that’s my hesitation. I love voyeristic vixen. My favorite quad to date. Agreed I thought of the Patrick Ta rosey palette which I do not use😮Beautiful I just don’t gravitate towards it for everyday.
This look is amazing on you!
Thank you 🥰
I just feel like it wasn’t a best business decision to create a pallets that not only is similar to existing pallets but also very similar to what other brands have. CT, Mario, Dior, Huda are some that I can already think of off the top of my head. Hope the sales this time won’t be as good so they decide to not do pinks as much anymore.
I can see that, but I also think these brands are creating this type of color story because that’s what most people will buy
Pallette is Beautiful!!! Very Universal too. These are my kind of shades so I Love it!!❤❤
Awesome review! I appreciate your business insights! (Also hate red or red toned eyeshadows and blush 😊)
Yeah I wish brands would just stop with the red 😂 there’s a new Dior backstage neutral palette that’s beautiful, but there’s a random red shade in that one too 🤷🏻♀️
@@simplyblair OMG I HATE That so much. I refuse to buy palettes with that one random red/reddish shade because ever since the reddish pink in Modern Renaissance (ABH) I learned that the one colour gives me the heebie jeebies and I never pick it up to use it. Same with the reddish brown in the Viseart neutrals palette. I have a problem hahahah BUT I think I should just somehow remove those shades so I use the palettes! I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!!
As someone who has all the Motherships and a lot of her other shadows in quads etc. it’s not that we want “colorful” shadows. We would just like a different color story. The repetition of ALL the same tones of pinks and rose tones that are overlapped in her portfolio is almost maddening 😂. At this point a truly neutral Mothership with NO pink would be welcomed 😂. But basically we don’t have to buy everything so yeah… won’t be buying this. As for those who don’t own many Pat products, one gets to pick and choose which Pink palette they want haha.
Lol makes sense! I agree, I’d also love just a straight up neutral palette without pink
I *completely* agree with your thoughts about ulta vs. sephora and the timing of this release
I completely agree about the color story and Ulta launch.
I hope this palette is the calm before the colorful storm!
Seems like everyone is coming out w pinker / mauve pallets must be the color of the season (Barbie maybe 🤷♀️) Natasha denona just dropped her new mini starlette pallet too
Lol I know I bought that too
I admire your logical analysis. I love watching UA-camrs doing makeup. But when it comes to everyday use, YES, I'd buy this palette and I did. I am satisfied with the colors and their quality. Even though I do have collected most of the mothership palette, the most usable ones to me is still the 7th and 11th...more to everyday people like me. ❤❤❤
I agree! When I saw this palette my first thought was oh, that looks like it could be an everyday mothership palette
Sienna mystique is a beautiful shade. Pairing with the light copper shimmer would be beautiful.
Sienna mystique could be your transition color if you just buff on very lightly and then build up the true shade in the outter crease, And outer corner.
Use your finger to apply the shimmer on the lid and you’re done … absolutely beautiful without being too much. I think it’s a perfect combo to go out to dinner. Skip the dark liner especially for the summer…. Really pretty.
I have a few of the other motherships and this one doesn’t int me at all.I do like the look that you created. Good to know that the mattes in this palette perform better than Moonlight Seduction.
You’re right. This was definitely curated for Ulta customers.
I’m the same as you…. NOT a Pat McGrath Mothership collector in any way. I have a few of her pallets, but I just find them harder to work with than other pallets in my collection, and usually what happens is I just don’t have the time to work them properly, so I just don’t use them🤷♀️ I love some of the color story’s, and that’s one thing I do love about them❤ I know people are screaming for more “color” but, I personally like the colors they are already. And personally… I LOVE the pink based pallet!! I think it’s gorgeous💖💗💕❣️
I have only holiday collections ! That’s because I can’t use up ! 😂just a pink pallette , quad is enough , and ysl have way more beautiful and worth trying for you since you are neutral lovers !
Please do get ready with me type of video for first date . I’m so interested in what you do ! Thanks 🙏
I am amazed that people still buy big eyeshadow palettes for a huge dollar amount. I recently bought the new Mac neutral eyeshadow palette. I hadn’t purchased a palette bigger that 4 shades in years. I use every color in that palette which is my rule for buying any palette. I wear neutral colors and mostly one and done cream pot shadows. Another favorite pallets of mine is the Smashbox Minimalist pallets. 8 neutral shades 4 cool 4 warm . Perfection.
I love the new MAC palette too!
I may be in the minority but this is the first mothership I am seriously considering investing in! Love each shade but the one reddish special shade. I have been patiently waiting for a more rosy bronze-leaning neutral palette! I mean, its truly a neutral lovers' palette!
If you like these tones, you’ll love this palette ❤️
I don’t own any Pat McGrath because I never think her color stories are approachable. This one is a palette that I am interested in; it will be a nice upgrade when I pan my Tartelette Juicy palette (bc I don’t need multiple pink palettes).
I also think you’re right about Ulta and Sephora customers.
I love the colors! PML hasn't been able to keep up and evolve the way ND has. Mthrshps aren't worth the $$ anymore. The formula has been surpassed. Hence the site "glitches", cut corners in formula/packaging, constant sales, cash grab collabs. BTW are you going to pick up ND starlette?
Yes, I bought Starlette 😊
Lol- as soon as I saw the actual color palette, you were the first person I thought of. I can’t disagree, it’s really pretty.
Edit- I consider myself a “make-up fanatic”, but I only shop from Sephora online. I find shopping in store super uncomfortable. I’ll go to an Ulta any day, though- it’s just more of a friendly environment.
lol it’s definitely a very “me” color story 😂
Do you do your own nails? Polish or press ons?
Yes I do! It’s at home gel polish
Are u souped for the Sep friends and fam sale? What are u getting ?
I have a code, but not sure yet! What about you?
My friend gave me a code as well. I just picked up the New GXVE lip balms. Now I’m my cart I have…
• Caliray Primer & Mist
• Saie concealer
• Charlotte Tilbury Jumbo spray
• Danessa Myricks Burring Balm
• Bobby Brown Skin Tint
• Rare Beauty Tinted Moisturizer
• Rare Beauty Brow Gel
• Hourglass Skin Tint
• LYS Setting Mist
• Kosas Wet Stick Lipstick (2 shades)
• Dior Rosy Glow Blush in Rosewood
I won’t get everything, I’ll pick out what I truly want. Btw I’m dying for Dior to restock the Glowy Backstage quad. The quad with the 2 highlighters 1 blush 1 Bronzer
I have all of Pat’s motherships except last year’s and I’m not buying this one…
I have all of these shades within her other pallets that can pass for each other …
I’ve always bought the motherships for the four special shades. What made those last for shade so special is because they are baked into the pallet. Those formulas you cannot get anywhere else at the time. …
This pallet if you notice she gave up on the baked formulas and every one of the shadows is a pressed pan. So she went cheaper on this one while raising the price from $125-$128 in the process .
I can replicate this pallet with Divine Rose 1 and 2, nobody would know the difference that’s why I’m passing on it but it’s hard for me because as a collector I feel like I just have to buy it and I do really don’t want to even with a 30% off.
The color story doesn’t bother me at all for this one. What does is the fact that she got rid of her special shades. What even is the point of a mothership if she takes those out, since they were what justified the insane prices they retail for. It’s cute, but not nearly worth what it costs in my opinion
I like it too, very much, I just don’t like the price.
I just feel like pat McGrath is very overrated
As well as Charlotte tilbury I blame beauty community 😅
Not before, now …
They don't know if other colors sales because she doesn't do but pink
So random but your brows are dreamy in this video.
As someone who has never gravitated towards any of her motherships bc the color story never made any sense, this is the first one that I might actually want. My biggest turn off is when there’s always a random color thrown in, like a hot orange or teal or green, it’s just not practical for someone like me.
That’s how I feel about some of her other palettes, like Heutopian Dream. It has that really bright coral shade that I know i’d never touch
@@simplyblair right? It’s so frustrating when the palette is otherwise gorgeous but then like those one or two shades is just gonna sit there and be wasted 🤦🏻♀️
It looks like a tarte palette to me lol
Lol I can see that with the color story, definitely not the packaging though
lol the problem is not that she's doing something that she hs never done before - the problem is the exact opposite, that she's doing the same thing again and again and again. I personally don't mind Wearable(TM) or Ulta-appropriate, but must it always be pink though? Are all eyeshadow palettes at Ulta pink??? Are all Ulta customers blue- or green-eyed blondes exclusively on whom pink looks good? Would be a weird store indeed.
I was referring to her earliest mothership palettes, she’s not doing color stories like her originals. Rosy/pink shades look beautiful on all skin tones to me
@@simplyblair I, on the other hand, think the idea that there is one color that suits absolutely everybody is absurd :)
I am so sick of pink pallets! 🙄 Love your vids though, about anything ❤
Aw thank you 😊
You created such a pretty eyeshadow look with the palette. 🩷💕
Thank you ❤️
Pretty look! I don’t need this palette! Stop making me like it lol
Lol I’m sorry! 😂
It's the regurgitation of brown/pink/gold. Hey, make something that appeals to the masses, wearable, that sells, no issue there, but can it be different? Look at ND Biba, Glam, Gold... all wearable, with mass appeal, not trendy, but they aren't alike. They're all very different. Sydney Grace in the indie world, are a wearable brand. A brand that if you are afraid of color, this is for you. However, they manage to "bring color", by making the shades very muted, gray toned, earthy, or just by experimenting with the undertones. So each color story remains safe, very approachable, yet different, with a dash of fun.
Every PMG palette looks like a slightly adjusted iteration of the prior ones. I this this is what people are taking issue with, a lack of diversity and creativity. I think of collectors and completionists. They're ending up with at least 6 palettes that look very close to one another at this point. All I am saying is, it can totally be done.
❤😘❤
❤️❤️❤️
Sadly, Pat McGrath I feel has given up on her artistry and is now about being a money making machine…
Define Rose one, and two with her best selling pallets .. it’s no wonder this one as well as the last two has been so similar. She is making what is selling, which is what a Brand does.🤷♀️
I don't mind the colors story. I mean we all have it, but I could live with it again. It's just not special. It's sad. I've repurchased every mothership last year to replenish my kit with all new. I won't be buying this one.
Your jewelry is always so beautiful! Do you remember where you got your third piercing studs from 🤍
Thank you! The piercing studs are from Catbird 😊
@@simplyblair thank you!! guess ill be getting another tote bag soon then 🥰 love catbird!
