What’s your go-to colorful palette? UD Urban Spectrum or Vice 3, Viseart Coy or Natasha Denona Lila.

What’s your go-to neutral palette? Is Melt Gemini a neutral palette? I love my greens.
What’s your go-to colorful palette? I have my own singles palette that has a variety of bright colors from vendors (Sugarpill, Sydney Grace, Colourpop & Makeup Geek) that I love.
Do you prefer palettes or singles? Palettes, which is why Z-Palettes or the Colourpop empty one that I have is a lifesaver. I cannot stand singles running free (besides my $$$ Chantecaille single that will live in its case forever).
Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green/gray/blue eyes, warm brown hair.
What’s your go-to neutral palette? Natasha Denona Star Palette. It’s so lovely!
What’s your go-to colorful palette? Natasha Denona Safari, Coloured Raine Safari Raine, Sugarpill Fun Size.
Do you prefer palettes or singles? Palettes. I find singles overwhelming and I’m not great at coming up with color stories with the thousands of options out there. I’d much rather be able to choose a few shades from a palette that’s been curated for me. Plus, palettes tend to be more cost effective,
Your skin tone/coloring: light, MAC NC 20
What’s your go-to neutral palette? Right now it’s Viseart Cashmere Theory but over all its ABH Modern Renaissance

Your skin tone/coloring: Pale as the newly fallen snow and just as jarring to the senses.
What’s your go-to neutral palette? Lately – as in since December – it’s been the Textured Neutrals palette by Tati Beauty. It’s really a nice palette and covers everything I ever want out of a neutral eye. I try to use other neutral palettes but I can’t seem to break my love affair with this one.
What’s your go-to colorful palette? Well, I recently ordered the Natasha Denona Tropic palette because it was on sale and I marked it down further by using my Sephora coupon. I really like it as well, and I’ve been using it for my colorful looks as of late. My Sugarpill 12-pan custom palette is also a good go-to for colorful looks as I built it with every vibrant shade of the rainbow. I can count on both to be of good quality.
Do you prefer palettes or singles? Palettes, without a doubt. They’re just easier for me to store. With singles I feel obligated to buy those magnetic palettes and I have so many palettes already.
“Your skin tone/coloring: Pale as the newly fallen snow and just as jarring to the senses.” I can relate to this far too well.
The struggle of being ultra pale is all too real!
Ditto. I usually describe my skintone as “somewhere between a ghost and a vampire.”
I’m not a very “colourful” palette person (hence my reaction to that new Norvina one coming down the pipes) so probably UD’s BOS 3 (an oldie) or Vice 3. That’s “colourful” for me – a palette with some decent neutrals and a few more colourful shadows thrown in for fun.
Oh – DUH – how did I miss most of this question?

Do you prefer palettes or singles? Singles! I like “curating” little palettes of my own, though I don’t have many singles. I can also go for quads/very small palettes. The bigger the palette, usually the smaller percentage of shadows I’d use.
