My Go To Palette

I put a picture of my "Go To" palette on Instagram and it got a ton of likes on it. So I thought it might be interesting to show what colors are in it. I rarely use pre-made palettes anymore. I have a rule about palettes anyway that I will share with you, if I'm not going to use 80% of the palette I won't buy it. I refuse to buy a palette that costs around $50 usually just for 2 or 3 colors. Palettes always take up a lot of space too. Also, especially lately they're repetitive in their colors. I don't need 4 palettes that have the color "Toasted" or "Carbon" in it. I finally broke down and bought a z palette. I was using a double sided MAC Pro Palette but it wasn't strong enough to hold the shadows. I had to lay down extra magnetic sheets in it to help and even that didn't work as good. A Z Palette is kinda pricey I think. They're $20 for the large one I got, it comes in other colors. Especially Makeup Geek has some really pretty colors, very pastel and bright. A large one holds 27 shadows that are standard size. There's a small palette which is $14 and it holds 9 colors. There is a domed one that holds baked powders and blushes it's a bit deeper. It's $25. So yea it's a little pricey but it's definitely worth it because making your own palette is so much more convenient.

Lets get into the shadows. They're about half Makeup Geek and half Anastasia Beverly Hills. This isn't all the shadows I have of each brand this is just all the ones I use the most and the biggest color range. Makeup Geek is slowly taking over though. I love both brands but I think I'm a little more partial to Makeup Geek. However I do love the ABH Velvet line. There just isn't many colors they offer in that formula.

So the top two rows are the swatches on the right side from top to bottom.
Mango Tango MUG
Razzleberry MUG
Chickadee MUG
Envy MUG
Poolside MUG
Shark Bait MUG 
Twilight MUG

2nd row
Bitten MUG
Peach Smoothie MUG
Yellow Brick Road MUG
Pixie Dust MUG
Appletini MUG
Mermaid MUG
Wisteria MUG


So bottom two rows are the left side of swatches top to bottom
Blanc ABH
Corrupt MUG
Mocha MUG
Smoke ABH
Red Earth ABH
Deep Plum ABH
Violet ABH


last row
Bengal ABH
Dusty Rose ABH
Fresh Peach ABH
Dragonfly ABH
China Rose ABH
Electro ABH


Now Wisteria and Electro look alike but Wisteria is matte finish and Electro is the same purple with a blue duo chrome and pearlescent finish. I have several browns in this but it's just because I have both warm and cool toned browns depending on what tone I want the look to be. I also have pretty much all the colors of the rainbow too which I love color so that's why I have to have them. I also can do pretty much any look with this palette too, there is a nice mix of matte, satin, metallic, duo chrome, and glittery shadows but also with every color you may need. I am going to get another Z Palette soon though because I'll probably break the brands up next and have one entire Makeup Geek palette and one Anastasia Palette because I could easily do that now and I'm a little OCD too. lol
