100 Shades of Eyeshadow Challenge

[Kim888]

Inspired by @Samtian 's new year's resolution and the 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge started by @snoflakefaerie ! I thought it would be fun to do the same thing with eyeshadows!!

I have so many eyeshadow shades I never wear!  The 100 days of lip challenge has really encouraged me to branch out! So I'm challenging myself (and whoever else wants to join) to use more of them. I'm going to try to make my way through my whole collection using different shades each day! Share some eye looks or swatches - whatever's easier!

@Samtian It does look very good. I use a similar shade sometimes, with a darker blue in the outer corner and below the eyes. It is bold: but why not? 😁

Pretty @Samtian! I love the looks you created on day 100 and 101 🙂

@DaneeBT Thank you!

Southwest turquoise and coral peach vibes going on today.  I mixed it up by adding the shade Desire multichrome by NM as my liner.  Tried out more shades from the macaroon palette too.

@2manyperfumes  OooOOo..turquoise, mint + chocolate, love love love this on you.  The color story reminds me of the new Tom Ford quads that just came out.  Very beautiful combo! 

[2manyperfumes]

Thank you @thatjedininja 😘, I’m always trying different combos to see how they turn out.

Glitter row & final thoughts... The glitter row is pretty good for glitter formula, minimal fallout, not too hard-pressed and easy to apply with very little mess. Ritual and Soothe were my least favorite glitter--it just looked so gritty on the lid...but, that could also be a look (ugh...now I'm getting ideas for a grungy editorial glam look--hahah, I digress...). The other glitter shades, however, look like wet metal. Right now, this is being marketed as "sophisticated", "glitter for adults", I'd disagree. It's glitter. If you picked up a drug store brand like Pixi's glitter quads, there's no difference. It's glitter. You'll feel it in your lids if you're not used to it. Sophisticated glitter to me is the texture you'd find in VR and Astral shades from Pat McGrath (swatches below). I know PMG is probably more of a celestial texture/ shade, but it's got the same look. Plus the vehicle in which Pat's formula delivers her interpretation of glitter texture is so comfortable on your eyes. Comfort without skipping a beat on glam is sophistication to me personally. The only caveat with Pat McGrath is that it comes with a price. Update on the Matte - I've been working with the mattes this week, the only matte that gave me some slight issue was the plum matte or Poet. I'd use a powdery base like ABH primer OR concealer, then set it with a regular setting powder (don't use Aura as your powdery base) and lightly build your color from there. Final thoughts...over all I do like the palette. I picked this up because I'm scheduled to do makeup for a vegan bride, we've been doing her test session this week and we're looking at different options. But to say that it's a good everyday palette it might be a mislead for a beginner. An every day palette is effortless, easy to blend and foolproof. There's a lot of texture in here, hence the name "Textures Vol 1", and even the mattes require some trick. Once you get the hang of the textures, you're good to go. I think if you're a fan of Tati, you'll love this regardless--nothing wrong with it, I'm a fan as well. If you are vegan--I'd rate this a 9 out of 10. If you've been collecting makeup and looking at picking this up, it might fall short of your expectations because everyone is describing this as "buttery, and creamy" and when you compare it to everything else in your collection, you'll find that might not be true. It's not a dis on the brand, I'm saying this is a great vegan/cruelty free formula. If you decide to pick this up, just know it's going to take some elbow grease but your final look will always be two thumbs up. The fact that I'm even comparing this to Pat McGrath is a compliment. Let me know what you think if you decided to add this to your collection.
