The blue color from sorcery would have really made the Mars palette something special. IMHO And switching it for one of the brown shades and putting a brown shade in dynasty would’ve grounded that one much better. IMHO good show!
Obsessed with your artemis edit. I love Chartruse and purple/burgundy together. When you realized that Cinnebar was your whole jam, it was like the Pina Colada song of eyeshadow.
PSYCHED for this!! I haven’t slept in three days and am about to fall into a catatonic state, thank you for the entertainment as I embark on my fall down to the abyss
Amazing comprehensive video, I immediately subscribed! Especially love the thought process, I’ve never heard eyeshadow color theory articulated the way you did it and it made total sense. I also tend to look for a “velveteen bedroom eye bronzy color”-what was the palette you pulled out at the 29 minute mark? That color looked so lovely and creamy. 😍 TIA!
You and Alicia Archer are just the most eloquent on talking eyeshadow palette and colour theory/techniques (all makeup items in general, tbh)!! Love you loads!! Thanks for the awesome content, Kackie! ❤️
I love your final palette! It may lean a little warm for me, but after many iterations of HLP style disassembly and creation of custom palettes for myself I’ve come to realize my home palette is a pretty basic mix of browns, golds, the errant mustard, and sparkly neutrals. It’s basic, but it’s SO useful and when I have fun textures to play with it makes me happy. My “wild” shades are usually something adjacent to this - a mucky metallic bronze, or a rosewood shade that flirts with cranberry but has a firm foot in the brown camp. It’s so fun to watch your process and see how your color theory mind organizes these 💛
Oooh! Artemis! I love that one especially although all your combinations are lovely. I do think that the customizable palette from LE would be a wonderful addition.
Can you do an updated review on the Lisa Eldridge eyeshadows? They were such a sensation when they launched, but I haven't seen anyone use them consistently...
Still watching this in-between conference calls. But the MARS pallet you made I would 100% buy. Lisa needs to hire you to help with a section she can call 'inspiration to build your own 6 pan pallet'.
I have to rewatch this when I'm not distracted making cookies. You've put together palettes that are so beautiful, Artemis (e: and Calypso) gasped me. I didn't have any of these feelings looking at the original palette collections. And I love the names you gave them. So good!
Love that you tore them apart. It inspired me to become a bit reckless this morning, and do that with some recently purchased indie palettes of which I absolutely despise the packaging. The palettes were covered with puffy fabric, with the bigger logos feeling like they weighed about half of a roll of quarters, and they all have mirrors. They were not in any way practical. These are some of those "collector" palettes, but I do not feel bad that I utterly destroyed the packaging. The bummer side is that the pans are glued to inside plastic base with something that bends the pan before the pan pops out. It's ridiculous, especially when other pans in larger palettes from the same brand are set with a magnet, so can be popped out. I'd have to come from the backside with a glue gun to get these out. What I'll probably do for now is put them in a deeper palette akin to a z. With that said, I'm done buying premade palettes that are not magnetized and customizable. I don't care how conscious/clean/environmental the brand is. It is a waste of money, and product. **IF** I buy any premades it is because every single color is adored by me, and are easy to put into aother palette. GAH!!! Add one more tangent to that: I love my old metal aveda refillable palette for this reason. Sadly, they have mirrors, but were magnetized, and otherwise very conscious in construction for being 20+ yo palettes. I still think about removing the mirrors, and replacing with a magnet, to see if I can fit more in each case. Wish I could share pics here so for those who never saw the orginals (they were gold toned,) they could see where some older millennial, genx, and boomers were coming from with where we started with more conscious choices. Interesting, the "velveteen brown" you speak of would turn reddish on me, plus would stomp on the green in my eyes. It would make the grey in these peeps take over, though, but it would look more rusty than brown on my skin. And the vast majority of golds do not work well around my eyes. They are not complimentary due to my muted coloring; soft whites, silvers, and neutral creamy off whites are better choices. Thanks, Kackie!
so happy you made this video and i love your conclusions!! i know everyone wants to customize a palette and i totally get it, but i actually felt so much relief that i didn't have to make those decisions with this brand. i really do want lisa to tell me the entire concept and then maybe if there's a special shade i can add it later
This is the best review of these shadows that I’ve seen. I love that you took advantage of having all of the palettes and (literally and figuratively) broke them all down!
Calypso is absolutely stunning. i wouldn't be able to pull those off on my skin tone but honestly it's my favourite colour combo that you created, aesthetically speaking, and i could gaze at it for days with stars in my eyes. It definitely gives me mermaid vibes but like, spicy mermaid. I also feel like Dynasty was a beautiful rehome for your least-favourites that did them lots of justice. Also, this project must've been so satisfying. i don't have enough makeup to do it with makeup, but i'm an artist and one of my favourite things to do is create colour palettes out of my supplies. In fact sometimes I'll just go with my sketchbook and whatever supplies, put on a favourite album, and swatch all the songs with vibe/mood colours and i love the combos i come up with. That's kind of the vibes this video gave me. Love it.
“I respect my one earth sign very, very much.”🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻 I’m mostly air and fire but I’m a Gemini Taurus cusp so I’ve got tiny unpredictable hints of Taurus in me and I relate hard lol
For the Artemis palette, that awesome metallic green is Madrigal, not Troubadour, but whatevs. I love this idea and the palettes you've curated! I also feel weirdly validated by your comments on how this isn't a full spectrum of color and it's okay if these color stories didn't speak to us. They spoke to me from an artistic standpoint, but not on a practical level. This collection has a lot, but is actually lacking the heart of what I'm drawn to and use on a regular basis: neutral bronzes, warm taupes, and dirty pewter-olivey shades.
I have all five palettes, and my favorite colorways are Vega and Myth. My least favorite overall is the super popular Sorcery. Perhaps the shades just need a bit of a remix. I ADORE what you’ve done with the palettes! I might have to give this a try 😅
I so understand You. I didn't buy any of the palettes because: The best color combination for me would be Cinnabar (but I have enough of this colors already). I have Your coloring, but darker (LE foundation n.6, hair color golden-brown around n.6). The Sorcery was attractive, but maybe too cool colors for me (I have UD Run - there are similar colors but warmer -still nit warm for me - when I have colorful mood, I can play with them). I like Your playing with the palletes and colors! It's fun!
Now I want each one of the pallets just to mix, match and play , I have Cinnabar and Myth and a couple singles Grotto and Smoke and mirrors , oh I need more ..... the struggle is real 🤗👍🏻
I love your custom palettes! Wow. But I LOVED your eye look even before you added the bronze. I liked it after too, but your eyes looked so big with just the light shade on the majority of your lid. Like you said it looked chic and effortless!
What a video! Bravo! Such a great idea. Super fun. I wanted to kind of do the same with the ND GLAM and the new pinky one I forgot the name but too expensive. I’m excited when she opens up the singles
Recent subscriber and love your sense of humor. I would love a video with your best bedroom browns eyeshadows. They are my absolute favorite and I rarely find something that lives up to what it actually looks like in the pan. Two favorites are ABH Teak in Sultry palette and Lap Of Lux in Colourpop Nude Mood. Also really appreciate someone who understands color theory coming from a commercial interior designer. My biggest pet peeve is when people say that blue reds make your teeth look whiter. That works for people with that tone of skin. I have found the opposite and orange yellow brown based reds do that for me.
I’m so happy that it ended up being cinnabar with only one different shade because cinnabar isn’t perfect but the addition of that shade from vega is incredible!! I really hope early in 2023 she creates the option of building your own palette
Can’t get over how amazing the concept and execution was of this video, wow! Haven’t purchased any if the palettes as none really spoke to me as it was, but this will give me some great ideas what to create later when I have the opportunity.
your names for the palettes are fantastic. i think Artemis is my favorite but i really like all of them. also lmao @ "BuT mY mArS iS iN tAuRuS" aka "i will fight you if you make fun of my comfort zone by throwing dirt at you AFTER i make my eyes look beautiful 😤"
The biggest problem I see with her palettes is that they are overwhelmingly warm toned. The only ones I could actually wear would be myth and Vega. But Vega is not just cool tones, it’s also pretty gray/muted. A lot of companies think that if they do a cooler version of a warm color (like a cool orange) that that would work for cool toned people. It doesn’t. They also think that making a palettes with a bunch of grays and a pop of blue works for cool toned people. Also doesn’t unless you’re muted and with no olive undertone. There’s so few companies who get this right, I was really hoping Lisa Eldridge would, but as her complexion leans slightly warm, all of her makeup starts from a neutral point that is slightly warm. All of her “blue red” lipsticks are pretty neutral and her “neutral” lipsticks, that she claims would work on everybody look too warm and orangey on me. Natasha Denona does this, too. Her photography may make some of her palettes like Retro look cool, but in person they’re all just shades of orange and rusty brown. Cool oranges, but oranges nonetheless. Altar ego just made of dupe of it and their photography is more true to what the palette actually looks like in person. It’s very orange and rust.
Ahh, another fellow maybe more olive cool leaning fair make-up lover 😊 I can sooooo relate what you wrote!!! Are there any brands, palettes you came across which worked? Except of singles of course. I have the feeling single-wise Mac has some interesting ones and surprisingly the CT Quad, not Star Aura - the one with Hollywood and Stars on the lid is realllyyy beautiful on my eyes 😊
I’m only 14 minutes in, but I have to stop and say I’m loving this! It is so fun to watch and I imagine you had a blast putting these palettes together. Mars and Artemis- I die for those
Your reviews are always so articulate and well thought out! I love the combinations you created and the realization you had for your perfect palette. On a side note, I really liked your description of the perfect bedroom eyes brown. I'm a Lazy Lady when it comes to makeup and love finding "One Hit Wonders" to apply all over the eye. Maybe that's too simple a video concept, but if you make it I'll watch it!
It really depends on your skin tone and undertone. Cinnabar and Myth are my ideals along with Madrigal from the Sorcery pallet because I have an olive compaction and greens and coppers and purples look good on me.
This was so much fun!! 😂 basically, vega and cinnabor are perfection.. plus one or two other shades.. will add to cart once she restocks next year 😂 cool, done ❤
I ordered a couple of LE singles from cinnabar and I love them - did notice that ordering singles took quite a long time to ship. I reached out and since all singles are packed by hand, it does take quite a bit of time on the back end. This mayyyy be why fully customizable palettes are not an option (yet). Simply lack of manpower, which is no fault of Lisa! I do appreciate the personal touch of having a shade hand packaged for me lol
I love this video, and I am on the edge of my seat. I am so shocked with the outcome. I adore your findings, it actually makes so much sense to me. Also incredibly helpful for knowing what Ill buy. Drumroll- Cinnabar and Vega. yeah, the most practical and neutral. lol
This video is wonderful, thank you! I do not miss the gold at all, in fact it is wonderful not to have this very predictable shade (as a lot of other brands are concerned). I like your Mars palette, not at all for me, but stunning on you! My perfect palette is Vega, with the silvery shade from Sorcery and without Moonswirl. I love Supernova as well, I use it with the greens from Sorcery and the purples from Myth. I did not order Cinnebar and Muse as too warm and pink. I miss a base like French Grey which is perfect for me in winter when I am at my palest but it might be too cool / grey in summer. Perhaps mixing French Grey and Turbulence will work. We will see. I think the colourstories are well executed and I trust the artist. I exchanged only one shade just like you did for your perfect palette. The purpose about the singles is in my opinion about refills and not build your own palette. A wellmade palette which you can use for long time and refill the shadows which you use up first (French Grey, Supernova for me).
I'm soooo excited for this (even though I'm in a no buy - by the time I need eyeshadow again, my hope is that she makes them available for us to do what you did - without buying extra.) GREAT JOB!!!!!
This is so funny to me! I was initially set on buying sorcery with myth being my second favourite. But I'm doing this thing, where I wait 15 days before I buy something (as an adhd strategy). Long story short, sitting with the idea of these palettes for all this time I ended up ordering cinnabar (!) a few days ago with the addition of the chartreuse/olive liquid shadow for the green sparkle fantasy!
This was such a fun and informative video for me to watch as I tiptoe back into being excited by make up again. The partially customizable nature of these palettes really excites me and I've been enjoying smaller palettes lately, so these really peaked my interest. As an astrology enthusiast I felt the earthy Venusian energy of Taurus guiding the exciting Mars vibes and the palettes you designed really spoke to me, especially the pink and green moments. I am also an Aries with Mars in an earth sign (Virgo), but I think it was my Taurus moon that was really melting in admiration of the beautiful colors and looks you created. Subscribed!
11:37 so funny - I bought Mage as a single and it was the only power shadow I picked up in the release (I wanted them all, but that just wants a thing I could do to my poor credit card). I love that color! It’s got so much depth and nuance for being so unassuming in the pan, it’s a stunning effect, and it seems like it plays nicely with both cool and warm tones!
This is such a GREAT video! I LOVE your palettes. Dynasty is a no for me. But the other four are BOMB!!!! But now you know that you could have ordered Cinnabar and Vega and been done! I could have done the same thing, but also ordered all five. At heart, I’m just a basic woman. BTW, I’m also an Aries with Taurus risings - not the easiest way to go through life!
I got Vega, and Supernova is my favourite shade👌🏻🥰 im going to get rid of the smoke&mirror (blue steal shade) and the black and replace it with Mage & Deep Ochre - is that a Sun in Pisces with Mars in Aquarius move?!😂 Guess so! Cinnabar was your call along😊
Lately, If anything is close to expiring, I start disassembling my older eyeshadow palettes. Like Natasha Denona/ Viseart etc. it’s been so fun creating signature pallets. 🎉
Such a wonderful video, Kackie! I got the Vega and the Cinnabon, and while I LOVE Vega, Cinna pulls way too orange on me, so I was really excited to purchase three of the shades from Sorcery to replace the orange-y shades, but man o man, the site is sold out of the replacements and Sorcery itself. It's so frustrating! (I know I know, such a good problem to have!:):) But I do wonder about the thinking behind launching products with such a low inventory, especially around Christmastime. To me, it seems like such a terrible business move. I'm excited to eventually get my hands on those beautiful greenish colors! Something to look forward to:)
I believe my perfect palette would be eclipse & dynasty smooshed together. While I find Mars to be THE most boring thing ever I also 1mil % understand how & why you landed on it. It makes so much sense, for you. 🤭💕 If I loved warm tones or warm toned neutrals, I'd probably be drooling over that colorstory!
I got Myth and then the single Mercurial from Sorcery. I took out Nocturnal (that's not right but the deep purple one) in Myth and now I have my perfect purple palette with a duochrome shift shade!
Sorry 🙏 I've been MIA I've been working seasonal part time job at Macy's it was kinda hard for me cause I haven't worked before except hair salon back 20yrs ago due to my health and heart ♥ I'm trying but hey for $16 hr for fragrance and cosmetics dept why not try it was hell at first lots of people but they only had me working cleaning the counters that's OK 👌 I'm not on register don't know how to use them LOL 😂 it keeps me busy and not worry about anyone else but I like to help others customers what to do if need assistance... put a smile ☺ to their faces it makes my day ❤️
I am 36yo and have been struggling with acne for 25 years. I decided to try Curolgy like a year ago and it is the only thing that cleared up my skin. I also got a lot of pigmentation with my youngest who is now 3yo and it cleared up that too.
The blue color from sorcery would have really made the Mars palette something special. IMHO And switching it for one of the brown shades and putting a brown shade in dynasty would’ve grounded that one much better. IMHO good show!
Obsessed with your artemis edit. I love Chartruse and purple/burgundy together. When you realized that Cinnebar was your whole jam, it was like the Pina Colada song of eyeshadow.
THE PIÑA COLADA SONG OF EYESHADOW 😂
PSYCHED for this!! I haven’t slept in three days and am about to fall into a catatonic state, thank you for the entertainment as I embark on my fall down to the abyss
🤣
I couldn’t have commented any better!!! I live for my daily dose of kackie!
See ya in the abyss✌🏻I’m bringing snacks.
Amazing comprehensive video, I immediately subscribed! Especially love the thought process, I’ve never heard eyeshadow color theory articulated the way you did it and it made total sense. I also tend to look for a “velveteen bedroom eye bronzy color”-what was the palette you pulled out at the 29 minute mark? That color looked so lovely and creamy. 😍 TIA!
You and Alicia Archer are just the most eloquent on talking eyeshadow palette and colour theory/techniques (all makeup items in general, tbh)!! Love you loads!! Thanks for the awesome content, Kackie! ❤️
Following!!! I hadn't heard of her
I love your final palette! It may lean a little warm for me, but after many iterations of HLP style disassembly and creation of custom palettes for myself I’ve come to realize my home palette is a pretty basic mix of browns, golds, the errant mustard, and sparkly neutrals.
It’s basic, but it’s SO useful and when I have fun textures to play with it makes me happy. My “wild” shades are usually something adjacent to this - a mucky metallic bronze, or a rosewood shade that flirts with cranberry but has a firm foot in the brown camp. It’s so fun to watch your process and see how your color theory mind organizes these 💛
Oooh! Artemis! I love that one especially although all your combinations are lovely. I do think that the customizable palette from LE would be a wonderful addition.
Can you do an updated review on the Lisa Eldridge eyeshadows? They were such a sensation when they launched, but I haven't seen anyone use them consistently...
As a designer, I always love it when you get into color theory. It’s such an interesting take!
Someone needs to collab with you on shadows. I’d buy everything. Your color theory is incredible. The best video
Wow - what a great idea! Loved Eclipse!!! And Calypso!!
Thank GOD! A Kackie video. I’m binging all the earlies to get me through uploads!
Hands down….brilliant video. This is what I watch RUclips for so thank you for this clever montage of such a fabulous and popular eyeshadow release.
omg i just have to share, that opulence reference made me laugh so so much 😂😂😂 that made my day thank you 🤣💖
idk when it happened but you’re now my comfort youtuber and it happened so naturally
Still watching this in-between conference calls. But the MARS pallet you made I would 100% buy. Lisa needs to hire you to help with a section she can call 'inspiration to build your own 6 pan pallet'.

I was so happy with your choice they're my favourite colour story 👌😍
Ahhh this is why your eyes were sore the other day! I love how you recalibrated these, the new stories are beautiful!
This is the best review of these shadows that I’ve seen. I love that you took advantage of having all of the palettes and (literally and figuratively) broke them all down!
Hi kackie look beautiful here I agree 👍 what you're saying especially for Lisa Eldiridge and her 🎨 palettes
Calypso is absolutely stunning. i wouldn't be able to pull those off on my skin tone but honestly it's my favourite colour combo that you created, aesthetically speaking, and i could gaze at it for days with stars in my eyes. It definitely gives me mermaid vibes but like, spicy mermaid. I also feel like Dynasty was a beautiful rehome for your least-favourites that did them lots of justice.

That's kind of the vibes this video gave me. Love it.
Our coloring is similar and I ALWAYS want that coolish shade with the neutral colors! You nailed this for me!!!
Calypso is breathtaking!!! This makes me want Sorcery again after I got over missing it this time... Great video - thank you!
“I respect my one earth sign very, very much.”🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻
I’m mostly air and fire but I’m a Gemini Taurus cusp so I’ve got tiny unpredictable hints of Taurus in me and I relate hard lol
For the Artemis palette, that awesome metallic green is Madrigal, not Troubadour, but whatevs. I love this idea and the palettes you've curated!

Yeah, she got both those shades (Madrigal and Troubador) mixed up.
I went through the whole video thinking Madrigal must be in the final palette because I was listening but was distracted from watching. 😄
It must've been wrong FROM THE JUMP because I wrote the names on them. 😂😂😂 which means there was never hope for me getting it right.
Your ideal palette is very flattering on you! This is a great concept, well executed!
I love your color stories & concepts! my favorite is actually Dynasty because it's so dynamic.
I so wish Lisa would release these as the Kackie Edits.
Love how you reorganized everything… I love sorcery so much, but I might try one of your green/pink combos, cause those are so pretty!
9:05 i haven’t finished the video but I had to comment and mention the big Rococo vibes I’m getting from Calypso!!! gorgeous I’m in love
This video is amazing, and it makes me so sad that these aren’t the original combos of the palettes. ❤
This is so cool!!! I looove your new combinations and it got me even more excited for when she releases the empty palettes 🤩
I have all five palettes, and my favorite colorways are Vega and Myth. My least favorite overall is the super popular Sorcery. Perhaps the shades just need a bit of a remix. I ADORE what you’ve done with the palettes! I might have to give this a try 😅
Similar! :D Myth and Vega were the most interesting looking and the green sorcery just no for me. (I just have Myth)
Hehe, same! I got Myth and will spring for Vega when I use up my current roster of greys/cool browns! God, I love a mole / taupe!
I so understand You. I didn't buy any of the palettes because: The best color combination for me would be Cinnabar (but I have enough of this colors already). I have Your coloring, but darker (LE foundation n.6, hair color golden-brown around n.6). The Sorcery was attractive, but maybe too cool colors for me (I have UD Run - there are similar colors but warmer -still nit warm for me - when I have colorful mood, I can play with them).

😂😂😂
Oooh, nice job on these and the looks you created with them!
So fun to watch !
this is great news for me...i ordered cinnabar only. love how the other ones look too though. i just knew i would get the most use out of cinnabar
You did an amazing job on them , love it!

I reached out and since all singles are packed by hand, it does take quite a bit of time on the back end. This mayyyy be why fully customizable palettes are not an option (yet). Simply lack of manpower, which is no fault of Lisa! I do appreciate the personal touch of having a shade hand packaged for me lol
Very interesting. Now I can see why buying her singles is more expensive than buying an already made palette !
I love this video, and I am on the edge of my seat. I am so shocked with the outcome. I adore your findings, it actually makes so much sense to me. Also incredibly helpful for knowing what Ill buy. Drumroll- Cinnabar and Vega. yeah, the most practical and neutral. lol
This video is wonderful, thank you! I do not miss the gold at all, in fact it is wonderful not to have this very predictable shade (as a lot of other brands are concerned). I like your Mars palette, not at all for me, but stunning on you! My perfect palette is Vega, with the silvery shade from Sorcery and without Moonswirl. I love Supernova as well, I use it with the greens from Sorcery and the purples from Myth. I did not order Cinnebar and Muse as too warm and pink. I miss a base like French Grey which is perfect for me in winter when I am at my palest but it might be too cool / grey in summer. Perhaps mixing French Grey and Turbulence will work. We will see. I think the colourstories are well executed and I trust the artist. I exchanged only one shade just like you did for your perfect palette.
The purpose about the singles is in my opinion about refills and not build your own palette. A wellmade palette which you can use for long time and refill the shadows which you use up first (French Grey, Supernova for me).
So fun to play! Calypso is SO late70s. I dig that vibe so much!
I absolutely love your take on these🥰, I did notice that you mixed up Madrigal and Troubadour. Just an FYI for your records of the names! ☺
I'm soooo excited for this (even though I'm in a no buy - by the time I need eyeshadow again, my hope is that she makes them available for us to do what you did - without buying extra.) GREAT JOB!!!!!
This was so enlightening and fun. Thank you!!
This is so funny to me! I was initially set on buying sorcery with myth being my second favourite. But I'm doing this thing, where I wait 15 days before I buy something (as an adhd strategy). Long story short, sitting with the idea of these palettes for all this time I ended up ordering cinnabar (!) a few days ago with the addition of the chartreuse/olive liquid shadow for the green sparkle fantasy!
It's the descriptions of the palettes that I love the most 😂
This was such a fun and informative video for me to watch as I tiptoe back into being excited by make up again. The partially customizable nature of these palettes really excites me and I've been enjoying smaller palettes lately, so these really peaked my interest. As an astrology enthusiast I felt the earthy Venusian energy of Taurus guiding the exciting Mars vibes and the palettes you designed really spoke to me, especially the pink and green moments. I am also an Aries with Mars in an earth sign (Virgo), but I think it was my Taurus moon that was really melting in admiration of the beautiful colors and looks you created. Subscribed!
I LOVE the names!
🤣🤣🤣 this was hilarious, thank you for putting this together
I have been soo excited to hear about your ideal Lisa palette!! 🎉
I am so inspired by the combos you made!
11:37 so funny - I bought Mage as a single and it was the only power shadow I picked up in the release (I wanted them all, but that just wants a thing I could do to my poor credit card). I love that color! It’s got so much depth and nuance for being so unassuming in the pan, it’s a stunning effect, and it seems like it plays nicely with both cool and warm tones!
Amazing video Kackie!,
This is such a GREAT video! I LOVE your palettes. Dynasty is a no for me. But the other four are BOMB!!!! But now you know that you could have ordered Cinnabar and Vega and been done! I could have done the same thing, but also ordered all five. At heart, I’m just a basic woman. BTW, I’m also an Aries with Taurus risings - not the easiest way to go through life!
Love this sponsor. Curology is how I was able to get hormonal acne under control. It has made all of the difference for me.
They have stood the test of time for a reason. They're not a gimmick.
I like how the Dynasty curation wound up as basically three columns of two shadow looks. Serendipity!
Hi, this is very creative and you did a great job mix colours. Have you used Lisa’s brushes? Would love to see a review.
I got Vega, and Supernova is my favourite shade👌🏻🥰 im going to get rid of the smoke&mirror (blue steal shade) and the black and replace it with Mage & Deep Ochre - is that a Sun in Pisces with Mars in Aquarius move?!😂 Guess so!
Cinnabar was your call along😊
Your pallet combinations are beautiful 😍
Lately, If anything is close to expiring, I start disassembling my older eyeshadow palettes. Like Natasha Denona/ Viseart etc. it’s been so fun creating signature pallets. 🎉
Such a wonderful video, Kackie! I got the Vega and the Cinnabon, and while I LOVE Vega, Cinna pulls way too orange on me, so I was really excited to purchase three of the shades from Sorcery to replace the orange-y shades, but man o man, the site is sold out of the replacements and Sorcery itself. It's so frustrating! (I know I know, such a good problem to have!:):) But I do wonder about the thinking behind launching products with such a low inventory, especially around Christmastime. To me, it seems like such a terrible business move. I'm excited to eventually get my hands on those beautiful greenish colors! Something to look forward to:)
I believe my perfect palette would be eclipse & dynasty smooshed together. While I find Mars to be THE most boring thing ever I also 1mil % understand how & why you landed on it. It makes so much sense, for you. 🤭💕
If I loved warm tones or warm toned neutrals, I'd probably be drooling over that colorstory!
I’ve been waitinggg for this!!! 🤩
Love your videos! They really speak to me! 😊 Thank you always Coming in hot with the brains and beauty 🥰👏🏻🧠
I got Myth and then the single Mercurial from Sorcery. I took out Nocturnal (that's not right but the deep purple one) in Myth and now I have my perfect purple palette with a duochrome shift shade!
have you ever used Sydney Grace shadows? would love to see you build a palette with their singles!
Really interesting and fun!
ARTEMIS THOUGH!!!!?!? 🤩. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Sorry 🙏 I've been MIA I've been working seasonal part time job at Macy's it was kinda hard for me cause I haven't worked before except hair salon back 20yrs ago due to my health and heart ♥ I'm trying but hey for $16 hr for fragrance and cosmetics dept why not try it was hell at first lots of people but they only had me working cleaning the counters that's OK 👌 I'm not on register don't know how to use them LOL 😂 it keeps me busy and not worry about anyone else but I like to help others customers what to do if need assistance... put a smile ☺ to their faces it makes my day ❤️
I took them all out and put them in a Salt NYC palette. I’m so much happier.
Super video!
The sorcery shade in the artemins palette is actually madrigal :)
Just got here and I’m nervous I might need to purchase the other palettes 😮
I am 36yo and have been struggling with acne for 25 years. I decided to try Curolgy like a year ago and it is the only thing that cleared up my skin. I also got a lot of pigmentation with my youngest who is now 3yo and it cleared up that too.
ooooh i live calypso!! reminds me of the most recent ND palette
And that sweater is so darn cute. Is it one of your spendy ones?? Like the shirt you and Hannah have?? love and drool
Dynasty is such a great name for that palette and totally looks like "high class lady of the 80s"
So creative! Fun.
orange is my no go, but mars looks gorgeous on you.
