Single Eyeshadows

I enjoy them, though I think that they can be cost-prohibitive for some (really in how you use your products) now that palettes are so prevalent. I still find I’ll reach for a pre-made palette with a really good color story over trying to put together something on my own. I think if I wasn’t blogging, it might be more 50/50, though, so it’s more a time/effort/energy constraint than I prefer one over the other. I wish more brands would maintain core shades and add-in seasonal offerings, maybe rotating every 6-9 months, and I wish we saw more cool-toned, duochrome, and accent kind of shades in single form.

If you could revamp one brand, which one and why?

If you could revamp one brand, which one and why?

I’d have to say MAC or Urban Decay because they’re both brands I really enjoyed years ago but am less drawn to these days – not that they don’t have some stellar products in their core ranges or some interesting limited launches, but there’s something missing. With MAC, I think some of...
