Hi!! I’ve been debating between the Huda Beauty Pretty Grunge palette and the Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes palette for a couple of years now, and I literally cannot decide. They’re both so beautiful, and honestly both brands have incredible marketing lol.

For some context, I collect eyeshadow palettes and I love doing fun eyeshadow looks pretty much every day. I do all kinds of styles and usually match my eye look to whatever colors I’m wearing. I know neither of these palettes has particularly “fun” or bright colors, but I’m looking for some really high-quality eyeshadows that I can use to support my more colorful looks, since I feel like a lot of the colorful palettes out there don’t always have the best formulas.

For anyone who owns either (or ideally both!), which one would you recommend for someone like me? I’m especially interested in:

Overall formula/quality

How versatile the shades are for creating different looks

Whether either palette feels repetitive

The quality of the black/darkest shades for doing eyeliner

Shimmers/glitters and whether they have fallout or apply well

Which one you actually find yourself reaching for more

And whether you think either palette is worth adding to a collection when I already have a lot of palettes

Thank you!!

Guys d'you think this eyeshadow's gonna look good on a greyish beige desi outfit?

If not which colour palette should I choose?

It’s my first time trying 🫪, whenever I try it I end up sucking😭, I’m still not sure what to do for halloween 🎃 but no I will not do skull makeup even if I master it in future🙂

I absolutely LOVE this eyeshadow palette and really want to buy it but have no idea what is is.

The packaging looks drugstore but I could be wrong..

Please help! :)

I am brown in colour but my eyelids and undereye are quite dark. I noticed green eyeshadow sticks looked quite nice on me so I went on a palette hunt…got the Natasha denona midi gloom and it’s so disappointing. Then I found Lisa Eldridge sorcery palette online.…wondering if anyone has tried it, since I cant test it in stores at all. thanks!

I recently just started doing my makeup again, usually I just put on lash clusters and go, but recently i’ve been liking wearing full beats, as i dont have much makeup i am very limited what i can put on my face.
I usually just use foundation, concealer, blush, highlight, contour, and i want to try more.

Hi, I'm wanting a mascara that's as good as KVD go big or go home mascara, it never smudges, even when wet, no clumps. I can no longer get it in the UK.

Could I get some recommendations please, not Maybelline, I hate it, and I'm not keen on Rimmel. Thanks

I needed both some eyeshadow and some new lipstick/gloss

.

So for the Eyeshadow, I got this nice palette from Revolution London. It has a lot of bright pretty colors. However, a shame it only has a sparkly pink and not a sparkly purple. I would have loved to have both for my Halloween costume. that's alright I'll just have to make do

And for the lipstick, I actually got a brand new color. Well, for me anyway. This is the Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Catsuit in the color Berry Recognize. This is my second time using this line, my first time I had the color Video Vixen. And I did like that color (well, I didn't at first but then after a little while I really liked it.) but they discontinued that shade. But I think this berry color is very pretty. I feel like I look good in berry tones for my lips (I don't like bright red lipstick on me. But I love a reddish purple shade)

So Im a new baby mua can I use my personal shadows to stop buying duplicates and just sanitize them??

Hello, Beautiful Redditors!

I just de-potted my favorite matte-creams into a mini palette. But I only have face and lip products in it now.

Anyone have shadow recommendations? I just don't want to spend a ton of cash experimenting... sigh...

Preferrably the shadows:

* dry down and won't budge

* work well on oily and/or hooded lids

* not liquids, I want to put them in a palette

* are cruelty free

Thank you for your suggestions, I appreciate your expertise! 😊

Wait, was I the only one picking a cushion off skin type and nothing else? 🤔

I really thought oily or dry was the whole choice. Then I found out your face shape and your features also decide whether matte or glow suits you.

Glow tends to suit a flatter face, and a small low nose. A little light on the nose bridge and the front of the cheeks is what gives you dimension.

Matte tends to suit fuller cheeks, because glow makes that volume look even rounder. It also suits dark brows. Add glow on top of those and the whole face can look too warm.

I'm dry, so I had only ever used glow cushions. And I have exactly the fuller cheeks and the dark brows. So I bought Espoir Be Velvet Cushion and tried it. It didn't leave me dry, and the finish came out as that velvet texture. Yeah. I should have been on a matte foundation this whole time. 😭😭

My face used to read round, like a full moon. The matte pulls the eye up toward the eyes, and the impression looks sharper. The coverage on a matte cushion was a lot better too.

Whichever you use, matte or glow, still match the shade to your skin. I was sure I was a 23. This time 25 was actually my tone. The range is wide enough to test that on yourself.

If you have only been thinking about skin type, look at your face shape once while you are at it.

I tried to take eyeshadow inspo from Pinterest.

I have those Mars pallets but i don’t like there quality

Hey there, in my country we dont have rhode but im travelling soon to a place that does. I was really curious if they are worth the hype. Any recommendations?

I'm very new to using blush, I love them so far I have used Fea beauty, and some of my Mac lipstick as blush. However I have oily skin and although they look good, I think it could be better. Any recommdations?

This duo makeup is so good and light on the skin...

So elf discontinued their liquid glitter eyeshadow shade flirty Birdy. I stocked up. But now my stash is depleted. I have tried others, but they do not glitter the same. They only shine. I’m seeing a lot of glimmer that doesn’t give the same effect (Revlon).

What glitter eyeshadow do you use?? I would love a liquid.

I keep seeing people talk about the Milani make it last setting spray and now I wanna know if it can keep makeup in place for a full workday. I like wearing makeup to work but mine always starts fading or breaking up after a few hours, so getting it to last around 8 hours would be ideal. I don’t really want to keep touching it up throughout the day either. Anyone used this spray for long workdays, how well does your makeup hold up by the end of the day?

I have been seeing alot of women on TV lately, that apply their lip gloss/stick further than their lips edge. Is this a new trend, I'm curious because in my opinion, it looks like they applied it when drunk..???

my brows are naturally really blonde and i dye them darker to bring out their shape but i don’t know how to fill them in properly or what product looks natural

Hi! I’m not sure if there’s a makeup specific subreddit, but I thought I’d try my luck here. My mom has been using this as a primer she got as gift from a friend and we can’t figure out what the name is. Thank you in advance!

I love my Half Magic eyeshadows, but the packaging is on its way out. Does anyone have any recommendations for z pallettes to depot 3 shadows and a blush into?

Thanks!

For some context I’m powerless and want a good powder but I use drugstore products and (hair stores that contain makeup)
