Pat McGrath Decadence Palette Pairing Ideas (x30)

Christine — Mon, 04 May 2020 16:00:00 +0000

In honor of Pat McGrath Decadence Mothership Palette recent restock, here are 30 different ways to pair it with other Pat McGrath quads and palettes. Readers will likely know by now that Decadence is one of my all-time favorite palettes, but it is an all-shimmer palette so it shines the most paired with other products you own. Thus, I’ve shared five different ways to get more out of the Decadence palette below.

Also, I still wholeheartedly recommend checking out the mini Eye Ecstasy palettes, which have some overlap with Decadence, and are less expensive (but equal in quality).

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!
