I think I am up to nine MAC eyeshadow palettes, which would bring me to 135 eyeshadows from those alone! I’d say I’d have to have at least 150-160 MAC eyeshadows (not including other eye products like pigments), perhaps 200 or more eyeshadows across all brands.

Question courtesy of Julie!
around 200 but most are non-mac
I think I have around 50 or so MAC eyeshadows, and about as many pigment samples. Plus one little lonely full size piggie (deep blue green) but it will get company soon enough 😉
more than 100, less than 130
Holy wow, you guys. I have exactly 8 MAC eyeshadows, plus one Milani palette. Clearly I have a *long* way to go!
But then, that’s why I started following this blog. Even if I had a bazillion eyeshadows right now, I’d never know what to do with them. I’m looking forward to learning!
I am at 118 eyeshadow’s as of today! Yes i counted… :/
I have 17 mac eyeshadows + cool and warm eyes palettes, 5 palettes non mac… I need more!
I have 12 MAC eyeshadows, 4 singles from other brands, about 13 colours in pre-made palettes (all non-MAC) and 4 cream shadows…it will take ages for me to use them all up! And meanwhile I have to resist buying new stuff lol
i only have 3 🙂
guess im just a n00b.
haha
I got 13. I have no guts to have many color =^_^=
I have about 50 MAC eyeshadows, 16 Urban Decays, 1 big urban decay palette with about 16 more shadows, 16 MAC paintpots, or other cream shadows. 1 NARS shadow. 5 Bare Essentials mineral makeup, and misc. other makeup goodies(primer potion, mixing medium, tube cream bases, etc.)
Not all that much, but enough to give me options for pretty much wahtever look I get it in my head to create. I also have a HUGE shoebox full of drugstore makeup and handmedowns from relatives that i haven’t touched in… forever and a day.
whoa! that’s a lot of eyeshadows.
i have six nars duos (this is to double soon).
six ysl palettes and one solo e/s.
three lancome quads.
three mac mineralize trios.
and that’s it really i guess. i just wear the same warm earthy tones.
I have about 50 MAC, and a bunch of Coastal Scents palettes, as well as other brands which would bring to somewhere around 300. Wow never thought about that, esp since I can think of a bunch I still want!
About 150 across all brands. It’s wild because I just go into eyeshadows about 2 months ago and I’ve lost my mind. haha I went for 0 eyeshadows to 150 in 2 months. Just got 5 pigments in the mail yesterday. lol
Nicole13 – First of all, i like your moniker. HA! Second of all, i have been on the same kick lately. I’ve always loved eyeshadows and a couple months ago i was probably in the 70 range. But then the past couple of months I’ve decided to go “outside of the box” a bit more with my eyes & have drastically expanded my collection adding 40 more items in a month. We aren’t crazy, just passionate about beauty & that’s a good thing! 🙂
Yes, same here…I’m always been interested in eye makeup, but I made sure I had all the brushes I needed before I started buying the shadows. All the MUA at the MAC counter I go to are really helpful and I’m pretty good at application, so one day I lost my mind and started buying up every palette and pigment I could get my hands on. For the stuff I couldn’t get in stores I ordered online. I’m African-American (Rihanna’s complexion) and I’ve managed to pull off every color under the rainbow on my eyes,so I’m happy about that. I’m an Aries, too, so everything I do is full throttle anyway. And yeah…you have a great name. hahah
I am Aries too!!! April 5th b-day. Who knew we would have so much in common! 🙂 Good luck & have fun with your collection. Makeup is just such a blast!!!
OMG!! That’s nuts. I’m April 13th. Just had a bday on Monday. Have yet to meet an Aries I didn’t like either. :o) My best friend’s bday is tomorrow. lol Thanks and you have fun w/your collection as well.
19 single e/s
2 eye trios
3 quads
2 HK eye palettes
4 mineralized eyeshadows
11 pigments
1 paint pot
1 shadestick
So that brings to a total of 64 eyeshadows so far and counting. I also have the Urban Decay Delux Palette so that makes 73 eyeshadows.
400 including pigments perhaps. But some of it are for professional purposes. I don
Oh lordy, I have a tonne of shadows.
Without counting them probably around 200-250 ( about half of these are in palettes though)
I think I have about 60+ MAC e/s plus some paint pots etc, and some other palettes I don’t use at the moment. I have been collecting MAC since last fall only.
dont feel like counting but i know i have less than 10 mac e/s. im working on my collection.
Since I normally purchase pigments than shadows, I have 8 MAC shadows, over 40 pigments, 2 Chanel quartets, one shu uemura single shadow, 5 Lancome shadows (two of which are palettes), two bourjois shadows, and some other korean brand shadows upto 10 or so. Yes I counted everything because reading the comments compelled me to do so! lol
And I have that gigantic Sephora palette which I regret having bought–the pigmentation of the shadows SUCKS, though the glosses are quite doable. I’ve seen some people making shadows out of pigments… do they simply mix rubbing alcohol with pigments and shape them into pans? Does anyone have any idea on this?
Enkore has a video in youtube on how to press pigments. I believe you use equal amounts of rubbing alcohol and water and spray a 1/2 tsp of pigment. You want to make a paste with a consistency of clay. Then you put it on the pan, let it seat for a few minutes to settle and press it with a quartet size or whatever will fit on your pan size. To give it a nice pattern to the press pigment, you wrap the quartet with some material with a nice pattern (he uses a jersey cloth).
WOW thank you SO much for the tip! I must check out the video and try it! 😀
I have 60 MACS eyeshadows, three of their palettes (warm eyes, trip:warm eyes, and HK Dolly), and three pigments. Then I have three UD eyeshadows palette (deluxe, amno, and wallpaper), and 20 Bare Minerals eyeshadows. I also have two costal scents palettes (Matte and Shimmer, each with 88 eyeshadows). And before I forget, I do own five L’Oreal HIP Mettalic duo eyeshadows.

If I was at home I could count, but my “guess”timate is around 100. I have a combo of all different single colors, pigments, paint pots & quads from MAC, UD, BE, Lorac, Stila, Smashbox, Benefit & drugstore. I’ve told my daughter that she has one heck of a hand-me-down coming her way years down the road. Hope she can appreciate it!
I have about 80.
I was close to 100 Mac eyeshadows as of last year in September…I haven’t keep track since.
I have about 75 not including the order I just put in since Dazzleglass is on maccosmetics.com this morning.
This is funny cause I just counted them all a couple of days ago.

I have about 30 MAC shadows, 1 palette, some pigments and paint tubes as well as 10 Urban Decay’s and maybe 20-25 other shadows from other brands.
around 150 Mac
About 40, i guess. Most of them are MAC. Than a couple MUD, a single Clinique, couple of MUFE, FaceFront and so on.
Ca 50 eyeshadows from MAC plus some pigments and mineralize shadows and shadestick and at least two paintpots.
About 40 MAC eyeshadows, not including 5 pigments, 2 Metal-X Creme Shadows, 1 Trio, Palette with 6 e/s, 1 Quad, 3 Eye Shadow Suites, 5 Mineralize Eyeshadows and 2 Paint Pots. I have about 235 🙂

Woah, my collection is uhm shameful compared to others ha 😛
2 MAC eyeshadows and one duo!
Also some DIOR palette!
LOl mine is so minimal that I can actually name the colours exactly 😉
But to be fair, I only started my collection like last month ahaha and as I discovered temptalia a few weeks back. But now I know that I will buy what is recommended over what I don’t actually need haha.
But I do have other eyeshadows from like really crappy brands! Like 45 – come in palettes!
87 MAC pans/pots, plus two holiday sets, for a total of 99 MAC eyeshadows

omg.. lololol.. I must be insane — but then again it makes me good $$
*grins*
I have 3 MAC Quads, 2 MAC Trios, a Holiday eyes palette, 3 sets of holiday pigments, 47 singles, a Dior travel palette, 19 MAC pigment jars, 5 paint pots, 3 paints, 4 Too Faced palettes and many single pan randoms. I used to have a bunch of Urban Decay Palettes, but my cousin adored them, so I gave them to her.
From memeory: 5 15-pan palettes and probably 8 empty spaces so that’s 67, one holiday palette – 6, two Urban Decay palettes – 18, probably about 8 random singles and Nars duos.,
That’s 99 total, not including about 12 pigments.
I have about 250/300 eyeshadows of various brands (Mac, Dior, Chanel, EL, Artdeco…)- many are in palettes though 😉 …ok, it’s still a huge collection 😀

I also have all The Body Shop Shadows, all of the HiP Duo Shadows, a Coastal Scents palette and other random drugstore shadows.

That’s 48 total! Wow more than I thought! Those quads sneaked up on me! Though I will add that I have SIGNIFICANTLY more e/s than any other product. It makes up over half of my makeup collection!
I also have 2 paint pots (but I use them as bases, not eyeshadow), and 3 benefit creaseless cream shadow/liner but I use them strictly as liners.
maybe 80ish???
Well currently, I have 18 shadows in pots, 4 pro pans, 3 MES Duos, an eye trio, and 2 6-shadow palettes. I didn’t count my pigments in here, but if you did I have 14, plus a backup of Helium. I am currently trying to get the Face Sparkle palette, so that will add a few shadows.
As far as other brands though, I’ve probably got at least 30 single shadows, plus 6 or 7 Lancome GWP quads and a big Lancome palette with 6 shadows.
not that much:(
I only have 20 mac eyeshadows 5 mac quads 2 urban decay palettes 5 mac pigments 19 bare essentials eyeshadows 6 urban decay eyeshadows and 3 lancome palettes
then i have about 3 random palettes
I’m @ around 200 or so! Mostly MAC. Mostly single pans. A few Chanel, CD, NARS, UD, Too Faced, NYX. That doesn’t even include the paints, the paint pots, the shadeticks, the MAC mineral e/s!!! I really am curious now & will have to actually add them up this weekend…
MAC
62 in palettes
26 limited edition quads (that have 3-4 colors in each)
2 mineralized duos
6 mineralized trios
1 mineralized e/s single
1 paintpot in panterly which i use as a base
2 pigment samples
10 mini pigments from the holiday collections
=110
URBAN DECAY
16 in book of shadows palette
9 in deluxe shadow box palette
=25
BARE MINERALS/ESCENTUALS (BE)
50 single e/s
for a grand total of 185 eyeshadows all together. as u can see i only purchase stuff these 3 companies when it comes to eyeshadows b/c the pigmentation and the color ranges are awesome. i havent gotten the balls yet to get any full sized pigments b/c i dont think i can shell out 20 bucks on it when i can get the BE e/s . but thats what i love about the holiday sets MAC comes out with the tiny ones. eventually i want to use ENKORES idea on youtube and press my BE e/s and MAC pigments and put them in a mac palette. b/c im OCD like that and i want all my e/s together,. i am also pondering if i should depot my e/s from my LE MAC quads. what do u guys think?
i also have 6 NYX jumbbo e/s pencils which i use as bases , and i plan on getting more , like in everycolor just b.c they are so cheap
I would say over all brands I must have somehwere in the realm of 300(counting non mac palettes as 1), seriously I should count them & get an exact number. I think I would be a mixture of pleased, surprized & shocked.
I have:
One MAC 15 pan palette
Four MAC 4 pan palettes
5 MAC e/s pots
One Faces 4 pan palette
3 paintpots
i have 3 so far 🙁 swish,ricepaper and vanilla need to get more though 😀 hopefully this week i can fill up my palette
8 MAC
2 Stila
2 Too Faced (are they even still around?)
2 BB
3 BB cream
2 Nars (Duo)
1 Milani
____________
20 Total (plus various Lancome freebies)
Well.. lol
I have roughly 14-16 15 spot MAC palettes. (That’s way too much, I know lol)
Around 5 or five promotional palettes (Heatherette, bootcamp, HK, cult of cherry)
11-12 paint pots
10 pigments
And it all started because my friend gave me a palette and a couple e/s
I have more, I’m sure lol
I’d say about 120 something. This is of course including the 88 pallette!
I honestly couldn’t say. While I don’t own a lot of Mac eyeshadows (I have about 22 mineralize, 2 singles, two trios, a quad and a 6-palette), I own an awful lot of other quads and quints and palettes. I own the 88 shimmer CS palette and the Bobbi Brown bright palette, so those two alone add up to over 120. I have 17 or 18 Dior quints, so that’s 85-90. I also have a good few drugstore brands (quads, trios), and quite a few other high end (Chanel, Guerlain, Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Lancome, Clarins, etc. etc.) quads, palettes. I’ll hazard a guess of 500, but I’m probably way out.
By the way Christine, did you get my e-mail about my stash yesterday? It was quite large with all the big resolution pictures, and my computer plays up sometimes, so just thought I’d check.
I have:
5 MAC Palettes = 75 MAC Eyeshadows
2 Coastal Scents 88 Palettes
1 Too Faced Eyeshadow
20 Everyday Minerals Eyeshadow
14 MAC Pigments
2 Smashbox Eyeshadows
1 Korres Eyeshadow
9 NYX Pigments
7 MAC paint pots
3 Dior Quints
1 Lancome Eyeshadow
4 Urban Decay palettes
1 Makeup Forever Star Dust
O, bloody hell, I gotta stop buying eyeshadows!!!!
Around 40 eyeshadows. None of them are MAC.
Ok, I’m going to admit to having a couple hundred, counting palettes. I refuse to count!!I’m in denial- lol!!
maybe 30 or so. that’s mostly singles, but a couple duos and a couple palettes in there as well.
I own at least 100 eye shadows (all MAC).
19 eyeshadows! 🙂
I’m def not counting. Lol. I’d say between 185 and 215. :-> And I have more coming in the mail this week! 😀 [/makeupdruggie] -twitch-
98 e/s pots and 4 e/s quads for me!
3 MAC
1 MAC palette with 6 colours
3 Clinique
So really not that many 😛
Oh geez, including pigments and Mac eyeshadows alone I would say about 200. All in all probably hovering in the 400 range with palettes and whatnot. My goodness, I’ll never use it all.
Oh, I’ve not counted them before but quite a lot (scared to count them, lol)! I don’t think I have as many as other people but I have a growing collection of Mac eyeshadows, some Urban Decay eyeshadows and some Body Shop eyeshadows. I perhaps have around 40-50 and I also have some pigments and paintpots as well.
Okay, so my guess of 500 was waaaaaay out. 🙂 :O I started counting last night and got to just under 1000 – yes one thousand! And that’s still not all, I just couldn’t be bothered to carry on (probably have anout 150 or so). That probably makes me the winner here then? 😉
Just an estimate it’s probably more
10 palettes with mostly MAC shadows but some Lancome=150,
15 Mineralize Eyeshadows
20+ pigments
at least a dozen paint/paint pot/shadestick colors
a drawer full (30+) of random other brand eye colors that I don’t really use but haven’t been able to bring myself to trash
Oh my Gosh..I feel really left out now. I only have maybe 15 eyeshadow singles and a few pigments. I don’t even have a shadestick anymore because I ran out. =(
Thank you Christine, this is fun, I am impressed and no longer feel “guilty” of my own collection LOL
42 MAC eyeshadows all in pots
73 MAC pigmens in original jars
96 MAC pigment samples
11 MAC Paint Pots
8 MAC Shadesticks
230 total, not counting other brands, but I have phased them out, so it is not worth mentioning.
Thanks for recommending MUA on your site.
I have over 200 MAC eyeshadows, including quads, holiday palette’s, mineralize eyeshadows and such, excluding pigments. When I’m counting the Mineralize eyeshadow duo’s/trio’s and Suite Arrays are noted as 1 piece since most of those colors don’t have induvidual names.
I’m such an eyecolor girl and love eyeshadow palettes. I own a lot of different brands from cheap to more expensive but MAC is my all-time favourite brand 😀
oh my gosh
i only have about 50 eye shadows.
I have 10 MAC 15 slot eyeshadow palettes full. Plus a bunch of MAC quads and trios. I also have well over 150 other name brand eyeshadows! I guess working for makeup companies has made my collection so huge. I would say an average of almost 200 MAC eyeshadows. So my total would average out to 350 more or less for eyeshadows.
62 shadows total
66 total so not quite slackin but not quite as game as some of you either
39-MAC
3- Maybeline
11- Ulta
