My Ideal Palette Tag! (Created by Carah Amelie)

I’m so sorry for my absent on Wednesday. My day was really busy on Tuesday and I got so mixed up on my days I didn’t realize a post was due until Wednesday afternoon.

For today, though, I have a fun tag to share with you all. I tag everyone to do it — I enjoyed it!

Oh, also, a giveaway on my Facebook page just went live. If you want to win some sweet makeup products, go check it out!

This tag is pretty easy — all you have to do is create your own, ideal palette from the shadows you love. Make sure to follow these simple rules.

My Ideal Palette Tag!
2 Highlight Colors
My favorite eyeshadow to use as a highlighter is, without a doubt, the cream shade from Physicians Formula’s Eyeshadow Quad in Classic Canyon.

I use it on a daily basis, it works out perfectly for my skintone. My second choice for a highlight shade is from the Lorac Pro palette and is the shade called Cream.

It’s a bit lighter, but I just dab my brush into it really lightly and it works well to highlight under my brows or my inner corner.

2 Lid Colors
If I want to do a colorful eye look and I’m not sure what to do, I always grab for the Wet n Wild trio Walking on Eggshell‘s lid shade.

It’s the prettiest pigmented pink color that has a really nice shimmer to it once applied on the lid. The next shade would be one called Schitzo from the Balm’s Nude Tude palette.

It’s a beautiful shimmery brown shade that I love to use on my lid when I want a smokey look.
 
2 Crease Colors
Crease colors have to be my favorite, so this was definitely the hardest two to pick in this tag. 🙂 My top favorite, though, is definitely from Physician Formula’s Matte Collection Quad in Classic Canyon.

It doesn’t have a name, but it’s the shade right underneath my crease color. It’s just a few shades darker than my lid, looks natural, and blends like a dream. 🙂 The other shade would be from the Lorac Pro palette called Taupe.

This shade is pretty similar to my first crease color, but this one has more warmth in it, whereas the Physicians Formula one is a cooler tone. I love them both!

2 Outer Corner Shadows
My choice for the two corner colors are both from the Lorac Pro palette (I know, I love that palette!). First one is the color Black.

I have several shades of black, but this is the one I always reach for. It is so pigmented, I love it! The next shade is their Espresso.

This is the shade I reach for if I don’t want to use black in my crease. It’s really dark, but not as dark as black. And it works great for those natural days 🙂

2 Bonus Shadows
I’m so glad that Carah decided to put this option in this tag. 🙂 the first one I picked right away was from Wet n Wild’s Comfort Zone palette, the green lid shade. Green really compliments my eye color, so of course I had to include it in my ideal palette.

The great thing about the two Wet n Wild palettes I’ve mentioned are that they are incredibly soft and pigmented. It only takes a little bit to get a beautiful color on your eyelid. With this green shade it works best with a white base, as it really brings out the color. The next shade would be from Lorac’s Unzipped palette in the shade Unbridled. 

If I am doing an evening look with a pink eyelid, then I usually like to use this liberally in the outer V section and maybe just a touch of the black to give me a really pretty eye look for the evening.

Palette Packaging
I like streamline packaging, so out of all the palettes I own, Lorac’s Pro palette is definitely my favorite. 🙂

It’s really thin and has a nice size mirror inside, too. I also like how it feels. True, it can look a bit dirty, but I just wipe it down every now and then, I don’t mind it. 🙂

My Complete Palette

So here’s all the colors that would be in my Ideal Palette, if I was able to make one, that is. 🙂 Here’s what the swatches look like on my arm.

Whoever would like to do this tag is welcome to, so don’t feel like you can’t. But I am specifically  tagging the following people. If you don’t know them…go check them out! They’re awesome bloggers/vloggers. 🙂

I’ve never tagged a Youtuber before, but I love watching Dani’s videos and would LOVE to see what kind of palette she would put together. 🙂
