10 Ways to Wear the Pat McGrath Divine Rose Palette
Here are 10 different color combinations to try using the Pat McGrath Divine Rose Mothership Palette ($125.00 for 0.47 oz.)! If you already have this palette and have found some favorite looks, consider submitting your ideas as a color story!
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!

I just ordered this palette for spring/summer! Looking forward to creating different color schemes!
Interesting, as I look through these look combos, I realized I don’t need this palette to get these looks! Other than VR Rose Venus, I have all the other shades covered. Perhaps CP Come & Get It truly is close enough anyhow.
I love Velouria and have tried to use it as a one-and-done as well as a transition shade and it always goes gray on me. Any advice??
Maybe try a different base or set it with another color shadow before applying. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
Just beautiful Christine – each eye look is that bit different to make it special.
Think this is the first time I see you break down look combos…this is really cool! Thank you, it will help me get the most out of the palette!
Would be amazing if you did pics of the looks on you also but I know that’s asking a lot!
Thanks again!
I love the way you broke down the palette into so many different color combos! Sometimes I stare at a palette and don’t know what to do with all the shades. This is very helpful! I didn’t think I needed this palette, but now I’m re-considering. Thanks Christine!!
I LOVE THESE POSTS SO MUCH Christine.
