This video makes me sooo happy! As someone on a budget, I have been such a supporter of pretties for your face as one of the only indie brands I could afford to explore. I am so glad you gave them another chance! Also fun fact: baby doll was born out of a makeup playtime where I swatched titan and asteroid next to each other, and how beautifully the pigments combined when I was removing them with micellar water. In my next sale order, I ordered one of the originally 10 dollar shadows (I cant remember which), but I put in the notes requesting instead a mix of the two shades if it was possible. Meg was so nice to fulfill that request, and we both loved the result. After I dmed thanking her, she said she wanted to add it to website and allowed me to name it. As someone who doesn't make content, I felt so flattered to still be credited on the website and listened to in general as a consumer.
Ah that means so much coming from the mother of my favorite shade haha! Baby Doll is amazing!!! It’s amazing to hear the story of how it was created! Meg is so great with customer service and loving on the community!
For recommendations and information on other shades: they have a purple in that big golden glitter formula that I love (formula like thankful), and it is called Nightshade. I know you don't really like blues but Glacier and Nitro are pretty amazingly unique and shifty, both I highly recommend. Ohm is a denim blue that somewhat goes a bit golden with a pink micro sparkle and is the more classic metallic formula. Another really unique color is frog fae which is a teal/emerald satin (almost like Mobi in texture) but I must warn that it is one of the worst with staining. Oberon is one of the really dark base shadows with flakey bronzy gold flakes on top. Supernova has a very very similar blue sparkle as Monet but has a grayish/neutral/purple-y base. I don't really know if you need both. Noel has a similar formula to elves with its goldish shimmer but in a very primary grey which isn't my personal preference but is pretty interesting. Also, I have Rogue Fey (one of the holo megachromes), and I much prefer the regular megachrome formula as I feel like the holo almost takes away from the shift and texture. Sorry for the long read but lastly, I know everyone does eyeshadow differently but I swear by applying PFYF shadows after wetting your lid/applicator with water or setting spray as they will go on so smoothly! I actually got the idea from learning that the pat McGrath blitz astral shades (also a dry formula) are meant to be applied wet.
Oooooo yay! So excited for some Kathryn content! 🤗💜✨ awww yay, ty for the shoutout! I'm so happy you ended up reaching out to Meg. I cannot wait to get your shade Roma! 😍✨ Oh & just so you know, glass coffin is a combo of Tru luv & icicle! So if someone wanted to recreate it...
I shattered my most Pretties for your face shades ,my palette fall of the ground but i do like most of their shades considering prices ! I would say for a beginner is a good start, of course some of their formulas are very dry so i would recommend glitter primer !
Thank you for this video! I ordered some singles from Pretties a couple weeks ago. Their swatches are very blurry to me and their descriptions don’t always seem to match what I’m seeing in the swatches. I love about 75% of my order, and I did place the order knowing was going based off of vibes😂
Thanks for all of your swatches - very helpful!! You mentioned briefly in your video that you’re not supporting Terra Moons atm and I’m curious as to why? Sorry if you mentioned the reason in another video and I missed it, but since the reason may impact whether or not I make future TM purchases, I’d really appreciate knowing (and I’d imagine other viewers may be curious as well). Thanks again for all your awesome content!!
Ah yes, I have a video on this that mostly remains true to why I don’t support! I know a lot of people accepted their apology though and that’s fine, too!
This is completely off topic and not about PFYF and your beautiful shadows, but I'm so frustrated I wanted to make sure you were aware of what's going on with Looxi. Looxi has reformulated a ton of their shadows. I wouldn't say anything if it wasn't a huge change but it's ridiculous at this point. They are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from what you purchased. I purchased Goody Goody Gumdrop and Glitz and Ritz based on your recommendation and it looks NOTHING like what your swatch videos show as well as Hannah's. I even accidentally bought a duplicate of Jawbreaker and it's laughable how different the new formula is, it's not even the same shade, it's like I had two different eyeshadows on my eyes. Old swatches are no longer reliable unfortunately it seems they're completely changing their eyeshadows formula, and sacrificing the uniqueness they once had and amazing quality that once existed. I'm so incredibly disappointed. I completely wasted my money. The shadows are dry, thin, and one dimensional. No sparkles or shifts at all. The shades aren't even the same. If I had known they were going to reformulate and completely change the formulas of their past shadows I wouldn't have bothered. I feel scammed. They should have said, "Hey we changed our formulas and some shadows aren't the same as they used to be. Buy at their own discretion," but nope they don't even bother to answer emails. I feel SCAMMED. Only spending my coin on PFYF from now on, they're transparent with their customers even as a small business and come out with such amazing eyeshadows at the same affordable price as Looxi.
Omg I’m so sorry to hear about your Looxi experience! I saw that they are changing to a factory formula and I’m so sad to hear that the quality has dropped so much! I still need to do a video on the most recent shadows I picked up because I have thoughts!

Omg thank you for the recommendations! I definitely have some new ones to add to my wishlist!

oh this is so good to know!! thanks for sharing how to recreate it! you deserve the shoutout and then some!

Omg that is so tragic! They definitely are some of my most fragile shades! I totally agree that a glitter primer helps a lot with some shades!
@@kathrynbbeauty i am on a low buy so i won't repurchase them in the near future but i was not disappointed 😎
Thank you for an interesting and useful video 😊😊😊
Glad you liked it!
I didn’t know glass coffin was even a collab shade. I would love if they renamed it bc I have it and it’s a beautiful shadow
Apparently combining Icicle and Tru Luv can give a similar result as per Cecily in the comments! It may be a good alternative!
Please do a dupe video, it would be super helpful
Thank you for including kitty pics!! I found that part extremely helpful 😸
Can’t wait to get your collab shades in the mail!! They look beauuutiful
Haha I’m glad you liked the pictures! I will use any excuse that I can to show off my kitties!
This was so helpful, thank you!!
I’m glad it was helpful!
I’m definitely using your code this Friday when I get paid 😂 I have 18 shades in my cart. I don’t have any from this brand yet.
I hope you love them since Looxi has let us down as our cheap single shadow option! 😭
@@kathrynbbeautyI know I was so bummed about them😢
Thanks been waiting this was long and good thanks for your review
I’m glad to finally be delivering it to you! Sorry it took so long!!!
Ooooh I have some new shadows for my wishlist.
There are definitely some hidden beauties!
I am. Absolutely picking up bamf ASAP & there are a few more that are going on the list. Like Arctic blast, entrancing & baby doll! 😮
Arctic Blast is so shifty IRL!

Haha yes they don’t always have the best swatches, but I’m glad you enjoyed the majority!
Is there a shade similar to rocky road from looxi? Its been my fave for years

What a great resource! Did you change your camera? The quality is insane!
Omg thank you!!! I did not, but I’ve been playing with the lighting to try and optimize my set up!
Where do you get your large magnetic palettes? Thanks!!
They are from Give Me Glow, though I’m not sure if they’re still offered!

Do you have duochromes or Multichromes from uk based brands ? I'd like to purchase some but l'm limited to UK shipping🥹🥹
I definitely placed a small order after watching this 🥸
Haha sorry to tempt you!
