TAG: i ♥ eyeshadow palettes!
i'm a total sucker for eyeshadow palettes, harmonious combinations with smokey and bold colours are my soft spot.
i want to start this as a tag since i love the pictures of palettes standing together and can't wait to see yours!
only a few questions:
1. how must a palette be like to convince you?
i think i must like at least 75% of the colours contained in it, i prefer smokey, dark neutrals and love it when the palette contains a pop of bold colour. i like intresting mixes of different finishes and complex shades with a special shimmer effect. i have even bought the whole palette for one shade that i really loved, but only a few weak times. a palette must somewhat be a good deal, too - that's why i'm mad at Giorgio Armani and Chanel (europe). it shouldn't contain too many shades, 6 are my upper limit.
plus, a palette must contain a certain contrast between the colours, i want ones that are versatile and which can be a base for totally different looks.
i don't like palettes that mix different product types (face/eyes/lips), i don't want the pigments to mix (especially when creamy products are contained) and i don't like the nasty look of a used cream product pan.
2. is the packaging important?
yes, very important. other than a high quality of the content, for me a palette must look and feel luxurious - i can't stand a wonky plastic packaging or even a cardboard packaging like from Urban Decay, Tarte, TheBalm etc. that's partly why i separated from my UD Naked Palette (review, dupes, looks). but tacky golds like YSL's don't suit my taste, too.
a palette is a luxurious item to me, not primarily a functional/convenient.
3. do you use the applicators or brushes that come with it?
i used to, but since i explored the world of brushes not anymore. but i have to admit that they get better and better with time, some brands include excellent tools with their palettes now (like Becca or Laura Mercier).
4. what's your favourite brand for palettes?
for me, it might be Guerlain. they do great luxurious palettes, the colours are mostly smokey, neutral and cool toned and i love the combination of different finishes. but NARS palettes are another passion, too.
5. high end or high street?
high end, --> 2.
6. now show me your palettes!
yes, Sir!
