How do you arrange your eyeshadow singles?
How do you arrange your eyeshadow singles?
By brand, then by color (rainbow-order). If the brand has a lot of singles, then I’ll do by brand, finish (matte vs. shimmer), and then by color. That’s in a perfect world; for brands that continuously release singles, that system ends up having new shades in the end or in a separate palette...

What is the perfect number of shades in an eyeshadow palette? Why?
What is the perfect number of shades in an eyeshadow palette? Why?
Anything between 9 and 15 works well for me. I think 9 is great for more complementary palettes, but if I’m looking for something more cohesive, it’s usually 12-15 that gets there for me (while still offering a good variety in depth and finish).

How often do you purchase single eyeshadows?
How often do you purchase single eyeshadows?
Definitely from time to time as I need some additional eyeshadows to review or discover a new brand that does single eyeshadows, but all my data suggests that palettes are where most readers are focused overall (and those that prefer singles tend to be covered by now).

I think it's a nice, comfortable formula that has a smooth, plush consistency, which I found particularly comfortable to wear, but the sheerer coverage makes a few shades run...
