It’s Pat McGrath’s birthday and what better way to celebrate than to do the most over-the-top thing possible: create color stories from any and every palette the brand has released. As always, I highly recommend using color stories as inspiration for your next look using products you already own (try layering two shades together to get closer, too!).

Also, Divine Rose II will be restocked tomorrow at 9AM EST on Pat McGrath’s website — get 10% off with code BLOOM10!

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!
