What do you look for in a range of single eyeshadows?

What do you look for in a range of single eyeshadows?

I like a lot of variety in color and finish; I want to see more basic/core shades, but I also want to see a range of color. Consistency is also critical; a line of single eyeshadows that rates from A to F and ends up averaging a B overall means it’s a pass for me–that means some shades are great...

How many shades do you have to use in a palette for it to be "worth it"?

How many shades do you have to use in a palette for it to be "worth it"?

The higher the price point, the more shades I’d have to like enough to use for it to be “worth it.” I don’t have to use every shade equally, though. I don’t know if there’s a color I wouldn’t wear at some point, so for me, I’m likely to use all shades to some degree. In a smaller...

Do you usually use an eyeshadow palette alone or combine it with another palette?

Do you usually use an eyeshadow palette alone or combine it with another palette?

Are there any deal-breakers when you're considering a pre-made eyeshadow palette?

Are there any deal-breakers when you're considering a pre-made eyeshadow palette?

I don’t love mega-sized palettes on the whole; I prefer 20 or less shades, generally, but it would be a bar–like I’d just be pickier about purchasing something of a greater scale. I don’t care if a palette is cohesive to be used alone so long as the color story makes some sense–I want to...

Here's a look at how well they performed!
