12 x Pat McGrath Decadence Mothership Eyeshadow Palette Look Ideas

Pat McGrath Decadence Mothership Eyeshadow Palette ($125.00 for 0.47 oz.) is a limited edition palette that released this spring (it’s still available) featuring 10 pearl-to-metallic shades in more mid-tone and deeper shades. Every single shade has shimmer, and for the most depth and nuance, I highly recommend incorporating some mattes and satins into one’s look if you’re not all about shimmer everywhere and anywhere. You can also dust translucent powder or a similarly-hued (but matte) shade to tamp down the metallic finish, too.

About This Series

Each look idea is centered around a “quad” of four shades with the expectation that one might bring in the appropriate brow bone or additional transitional shade based on skin tone. I know that I tend to use more like five or six shades in a typical look, but I think that four is a happy medium to give a good idea of the “core” color scheme of a look while giving you the ability to lighten/darken as desired. I have listed the colors in this order: inner lid, middle of lid, outer lid/crease, and crease/above crease.

You might see combinations that seem slightly repeated but placement will vary (e.g. a halo placement where the lightest and more shimmery shade is placed on the center) as placement can also create a different effect/look! You might also want to consider incorporating your favorite matte/shimmer shades (as applicable) to increase the versatility of certain palettes. Consider these ideas a jumping off point!
