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...

Cream Highlighters

I’ve come around to them; I like the dewy finish they can give, but I find that I still reach for powder highlighters the most–probably they’re just the most foolproof and what I have in my vanity drawer (vs. cream or liquids).

What draws you into a pre-made eyeshadow palette?

What draws you into a pre-made eyeshadow palette?
