BALETTE ROYALE: Showdown of the Shadows

[danielledanielle]

Greetings everyone, we're doing a bit of battle as Ambassadors and we would love some help.  We're curious to find the eyeshadow palette of all palettes.  We're doing a BATTLE ROYALE, or shall we call it a BALETTE ROYALE 😂🙃

 

DUN

DUN

DUN...

Background:

1.  Select three eyeshadow palettes of your choosing to create a look from the theme of the week.  Try to stick with one palette for the entire challenge.
2. For four weeks there's a theme. Try to create the most looks you can within that theme.  I will try to post a hint before the week starts.  You can ask for additional details once the theme is posted
3. The other two palettes, though?  You can use them, it's a palette battle.  You can make a switch to your other palettes .But, one time only.
4. You must select palettes from three different brands.*
5. *If you have a "megapalette" like a Natasha Denona 28 pan, Danessa Light works, a Morphe, etc. you can use them, but I'm requesting you select 10-12 shades to use.  (Keeps it fairly similar amongst others and this also to get you to use your stash. )
6.   Keep it respectful.

How to join:

• Check the thread each week for the theme.
  Post a look, or tag/post the palette you chose
• Remember, the challenge is to try to choose one palette to take you through the battle.
• I'll say it again.  Keep it respectful.  This is about using your stash and possibly finding new ways to use them.  If someone doesn't like your favorite, well, show them how your favorite works and post-up, otherwise keep it polite and keep it moving.
• If it helps think of the additional palettes are like "lives".  You can switch to another palette, but once you've used a palette add moved on, it's out.   For example, if I use Pat McGrath Labs Mothership I for the 1st and 2nd challenge.  But then week 3 I switch to Natasha's Golden, I've used 2 palettes.  I can't go back to Pat, and I have only one more "life" left so I can continue with Golden, or make one more switch.

At the end, the tally will be for the ten most used palettes.

Week 1: (Feb 10-16) NATURE

Week 2 (Feb 18-23) RED CARPET READY (OR RUNWAY READY VIA NYFW)

Week 3 (Feb 24 -2) 20th Century

Week 4 (Mar 3-9) Avant Garde!

Lovely palette selections, @AMK721!! Love the shimmers in all of them!! 

Beautiful look, @AMK721!! 💖 I agree about the theme being so versatile 

[makeitup305]

@AMK721 super pretty look @AMK721 . It suits you really well!

@AMK721  Beautiful look! Those palettes look amazing! 

[CynthieLu]

I love what you said @AMK721. This theme really has an openness to interpretation that is going to be unique to each of us, It will be fun to see what this becomes for everyone. 

The direction your palettes took you, towards a spring day and being in your garden is such a happy picture to paint. Your look really captured that feeling. 👌🌷 It's very fresh and light and spring day beautiful. 

[AMK721]

@CynthieLu thank you! I'm a nature lover and really enjoy digging in the dirt. 

[danielledanielle]

I love what you chose! You look so pretty @AMK721 

[itsfi]

You look great @AMK721! Your eye look is very pretty and I love how you described it the tie in to the nature theme.

btw, I know this is all about the palette but that’s a beautiful lip color you have on! 

[AMK721]

@itsfi thank you so much, now I'm blushing 😊 lol. Lip color is MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil Creamy Non-Skipping and Non-Dragging Precise Lip Liner Soar and HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA PhD Hybrid Lip Glaze Plumping Gloss Cocoa 

[itsfi]

Thank you @AMK721! I have MAC Soar and like the consistency and formula on the Haus Labs lip glazes. Adding this Cocoa shade to my list now.

[AMK721]

@itsfi I must have clicked on the wrong shade for the lip glaze, it's actually Persimmon. Sorry about that. 

[itsfi]

Ahhh, so now I’ll have to get persimmon and cocoa. Thanks so much for letting me know @AMK721. My wallet and no / low buy aspirations don’t seem to be as pleased with my plans for 2 new lippies. 😉 

[AMK721]

@itsfi I feel ya, I'm on a no/low buy for a while. New lippies are hard to pass up. 

[itsfi]

@AMK721, there’s a lot of newness coming out too. I’ve been working through what I already have including a few things I forgot I had 😬 so that has been good and helpful with being more mindful of what I do buy or will buy.

I will take pictures and edit but wanted to pick my palettes now.

I had a *hard* time picking and even more so keeping it to smaller palettes. I think 12-15 is my middle ground.

1. Sydney Grace x Mel Thompson Tiny Marvels palette (a perfect for me color story)

2. Violet Voss Lile A Boss palette (my OG fave palette) 

3. Danessa Myricks Lightwork III (still my fave Lightwork palette I think)

[danielledanielle]

Heh, I had a hard time picking my third/final one , too @haleyvvvv 

I'm excited to see what you do with the three that you chose!

[haleyvvvv]

It was surprisingly hard to pick, @danielledanielle. also I have too many palettes . Thank you for putting the challenge together!! 

[itsfi]

Ahhhh, the Tiny Marvels palette ... Mel Thompson! That palette was such a beautiful collab @haleyvvvv. Oooouh, I recall seeing some of the looks you've created with the duochromes and multichromes from Lightworks III - gorgeous! 

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @itsfi!! I've been trying to use my collection more, so it's nice to have a reason to go back to some oldies but goodies. I'm glad they still sell Tiny Marvel's as well, and it's ongoing support to Mel's family.

My palette choices will be:

Danessa Myricks Lightwork V5 1st & 3rd row

Pat McGrath Mothership 3

Dior Backstage Smokey Essentials
