Your skin tone/coloring: pale yellow-ish, teal hair, blue eyes

Oldest eyeshadow palette in your collection? PMG Bronze Seduction probably?

Newest eyeshadow palette in your collection? Shadow and blush palette from Joah beauty with flamingos. It’s so cute!

Least favorite eyeshadow palette in your collection? If I fall out of love with a palette I usually give it away. I’m sending Nubian Coral from Juvia’s to my mom. It’s cute and the quality is good, I just never reach for it even when I want a neutral look.

Oldest eyeshadow palette in your collection? The original UD Naked. 😬

Newest eyeshadow palette in your collection? Kaleidos Flowing Haze or Glossier Monochromes in Heather. I can’t remember which came first!

Least favorite eyeshadow palette in your collection? Oh, probably Huda Gemstone Obsessions. I should get rid of it.

Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone

Oldest eyeshadow palette in your collection? Urban Decay Naked 3 was my first big eyeshadow palette and I still have it, though it’s probably a decade old and I really should get rid of it.

Newest eyeshadow palette in your collection? Dior Five Couleur in Mitzah (love it!)

Least favorite eyeshadow palette in your collection? Too Faced White Chocolate Chip. The quality is absolute garbage, but it’s still sitting in my drawer.

UD Wired. I bought it on mega-markdown to do something else with the packaging (but still haven’t gotten around to it). Anyway, crappy palette.

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

Oldest eyeshadow palette in your collection? After having a few declutters in recent years, some of my oldies have gone. I would say the oldest eyeshadow palette in my collection would be Naked 1.

Newest eyeshadow palette in your collection? The newest addition to my stash is PMG’s Decadence.

Least favorite eyeshadow palette in your collection? I guess that’s the one I reach for the least – It would probably be Naked 3, although I should really use it because it is stunning. I just tend to go for my Smashbox Petal Metal palette when I want to use some rose golds.

Your skin tone/coloring: Fair-light with neutral undertones.
Oldest eyeshadow palette in your collection? Colourpop Chasing Rainbows.
Newest eyeshadow palette in your collection? Nabla Cutie palettes in Midnight and Platinum, Nabla Side by Side
Least favorite eyeshadow palette in your collection? Alter Ego Artemis, which is supposed to dupe ND Metropolis. Quality is ok (so many dupes in the shades though) but the color story does me no favors.

Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)

Oldest eyeshadow palette in your collection? If we’re talking about my first, and therefore oldest, higher end palette, then it has to be Lorac Unzipped!
But oldest “oldest” would be one of the Nyx Caribbean quints and a super old 10 pan smokey eye color story. Yes, I still have all of those!

Newest eyeshadow palette in your collection? Dior 5 Colour in Tutu. What a beautiful little palette that packs quite the punch!

Least favorite eyeshadow palette in your collection? Probably the UD Naked Smoky palette. Almost got electrocuted after buying it, too! Not worth almost getting killed. Come to think about it, no purchase is!

Your skin tone/coloring: Pale, pink, ashy light brown hair with greys and blonde highlights, blue eyes
Oldest eyeshadow palette in your collection? the original MAC Goldbit single
Newest eyeshadow palette in your collection? MAC Quinning palette
Least favorite eyeshadow palette in your collection? I just culled and discarded quite a few palettes which were not being used, the least favorite was probably TF Chocolate Bar palette. Lost its smell and most e/s were chalky. Also, I dislike MAC Carbon and they put it in quite a few palettes so it gets a raspberry from me.

Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green eyes, warm brown hair.

Oldest eyeshadow palette in your collection? I think it’s my ND 2016 Star palette.

Newest eyeshadow palette in your collection? Bella Beaute Bar Pastel Garden palette.

Least favorite eyeshadow palette in your collection? I think it might be my ND Zendo palette. That’s not to say I don’t like it, but it’s the one I reach for the least.

These questions are thought provoking! It’s like therapy for the eyeshadow palette hoarder: let’s look at my behavior . . .

Oldest palette is Tarte Make Believe in Yourself. I just put it and a few other 2017 palettes in a box to declutter. I have not decided if I’ll sell them on Poshmark or toss them. I’ve found that sometimes using old eyeshadow irritates my eyes. Not the skin, but my eyes themselves. I think it’s probably a preservative that goes off and causes irritation because I keep everything clean. So I try to get rid of palettes more than a few years old, because I get too scared to use them.

Newest palette is Colourpop Lost in Wonderland.

Least favorite palette is Urban Decay Naked Heat. I was so into it when it came out, but I’m not feeling those warm tones like red & orange so much these days. Soon I will need to declutter it and other old UD shadows, but it’s so hard to let them go because they are irreplaceable given the brand’s current performance!

Your skin tone/coloring: Above, dark brown hair, grey-green eyes.
Oldest eyeshadow palette in your collection? That would probably be a MAC palette, a 6 pan with a rose themed packaging in black and white, holographic, the other view is MAC over and over. I’m to lazy to go and check what it was called.
Newest eyeshadow palette in your collection? Vieve Ninetease.
Least favorite eyeshadow palette in your collection? PMG Bronze Seduction. I never use it, never. I find it dry, get a lot of fall down when I do try to use it, and I so dislike I fell for the hype. I like the two 6 pan palettes from her, but dislike the bigger ones, Bronze Seduction most of all.
