Sometimes I feel ashamed when I look at the number of pressed and loose shadows I have. I have to have an entire desk and every drawer just for eyeshadows. That is an obsession and is ridiculous. I am making a true effort this year to only purchase what I am really going to wear and is not a dupe. Great question.

Last count left me at around 450, give or take a couple. Geez, to put it that way seems soooooo.... eesh lol

Counting each colour in a palette, 404. I counted them up a couple of days ago.

I haven't done a full count yet, but I know it's over 100. The Tarte Treasure Chest includes 32 eye shadows alone. I have 7 MAC 15 pan palettes that are either full or almost full. I also have some MAC holiday palettes, several MAC quads, trios, NYX eye shadows palettes galore, Urban Decay Book of Shadows.... there's a lot! I use most of them, some more than others of course.

I wanna say last time I counted it was around 325. Since then I've bought about 25 more.

I've got 60. Most are in drugstore palettes, so I counted those separately since they are different colors. Includes 16 MACs, and a couple Urban Decays.

Approximately 250, including premade quads, not including the stuff in my giveaway basket.

I once counted them (on paper) and if we count quints as 5 and quads as 4, etc., then I have around 1000 eyeshadows. I have 25 or 26 Dior quints, that's over 100 alone, then about 15 Guerlain quads, 10+ Chanel quads, three Mac quads, couple of trios, a 15 palette, 30 or so mineralize shadows (some are duos, trios and quads), and a lot of other brands incl. 100+ drugstore shadows as well.

Pretty even across the board! We got a whole range of makeup addicts here, lol. I got just under 30 eyeshadows which includes pigments and mineralize e/s. My next trip to MAC is gonna make me go over... XD Oh Well!

oops just found seven more!

If I were to separate my palettes, not including my anxiously awaited UD AIW, I have exactly 151 eyeshadows. So not enough!

Here is the thing , I have about 11 loose eyeshadows , but I have 3 palettes - one of which has 98 eyeshadows in it

I have over 600 eyeshadows. 375 full sizes. The rest are in palettes or are sample sizes. It seems I can never have enough eyeshadow, especially greens and golds. Believe it or not, I've been on a mission to make sure I use each color at least once a year. I started this in August and I have used 321 different colors so far!

I only have one single eyeshadow, but I have two duos, five quads and five larger palettes for a total of 62 different pans of pressed eyeshadows divided between 13 physical items. That's not counting my loose mineral shadow samples or my MAC piggie samples though... I have 17 MAC piggie samples and I don't even know how many other loose mineral shadow samples I have!

About 25.. but I just started buying around november

I have never actually sat down and counted them up but easily 100+ - I have at least eight 12 colour and four 7 colour palettes of a particular brand and while there are some duplicates, it'd be less than 5% overall. That puts me over 100 already. Then I 'd have to count up the Stila, Estee Lauder, Clinque, Benefit, Chanel and the 9 Dior quints I own... Holy crap, I have a LOT of eyeshadow!

if you count individual eyeshadows then i have more than 100. 120 from the 120 palette 16 from bos 2 (ud) 4 from baked (ud) 9 from skull (ud) and like 3 single shadows.

I haven't counted in a couple months, so I know the numbers gone up. But my last count was about 130. I think its almost 150 now. (Majority of them being Urban Decay and MAC.)

I have about 50...but if I count my Urban Decay BoS II then I have 65..Sigh I have a problem! But I love them all:p

I haven't made an official count yet, but I bought quite a few palettes last holiday season and somehow my eyeshadow collection grew and grew. I was in the majority of 15 to 30 until last summer though!

Most of my eyeshadows are in quads, but I count each color as one... so about 28?

I have about 50 eye shadows + approx. 150 mineral pigments. :D

i just counted 182, not including cream products like paints and paint pots... A LOT more than i thought i had! considering many of these haven't been touched in ages, maybe i need to think twice before purchasing any more!

I reckon I have around 30 singles (if I count a few on their way to me) plus a few palettes. There are shades like UD's Oil Slick which I don't own individually but won't run out of for ages because I have it in at least 3 palettes and hardly ever use it!

I own around 50 eyeshadows, including paintpots and palettes.

I wouldn't know except that I cataloged all of my Bare Escentual eyeshadows last night and I have 88. So adding in all of my other eyeshadows (including a palette of 84), I have well over 100.

I'd have to say... :-/ lol with all the mineral ones well over 500... :-)

I have 2 full Mac palettes (about to start a 3rd). I also have at least 10 limited edition ones in the original packaging and I have about 7 Nars shadows and the Stila Barbie palette. Sooo I have between 30-50. Lol

Are we counting single form or palettes?

i usually only wear MAC shadows, so i have my palette :)

I said 100+ but I honestly have no idea. It might be less than that. Perhaps I should go count everything today.

how about you christine?

About 250 ..

I never wanted to count but I did 193 and that's not including palettes from the collections or my new ones YIKES. .....

Scary, counting every single shadow and pan in my palettes I have more than 140 shades. I never would have guessed, I thought I may have 50 or so. That'll teach me to underestimate my collection.

I was unable to estimate, so I decided to just go count 'em. Not including cream products (I don't own very many), I counted 140 - slightly less than half of which are MAC. I had no idea I had that much eyeshadow!

i hate probably about 30 single eyeshadows but then quite a few in palletes =D

Yes, I'm in majority with [ 11-30 eyeshadows ]. I have about 15, I guess. (That's counting products on the whole, not individual palettes.)
