2026 Eyeshadow collection

 So I have been counting my eyeshadows and updating the status since last time I updated was 2023. I mainly categorise into 3 part: Large palettes, small palettes and magnetic self made palettes from depotted eyeshadows. With 2 eyeshadow cream stick by the side. 

For magnetic palettes: I have 6. Now that I look at it a lot are neutral shades. To be honest I dunno how long it will take me to go thru these shadow. But I guess that’s how it is.

Large palettes I have 9. In compare to 2023, the newer additions are 3 flower knows palettes, dramo China brand colourful eyeshadow. HUDA beauty rose gold. I’m thinking I need to use more of these palette shadows. And hit more pan. List of large shadow palettes

1. Huda Beauty Rose Quartz
2. Tartelette in Bloom
3. Too Faced Sweet Peach
4. Flower Knows Angel Series
5. Flower Knows Shepperd Girl
6. Flower Knows Strawberry Roccoco

Over view and thoughts: I have so much eyeshadows that I start to feel overwhelm. As much as I would like to count how much I have used, or whether I have touch these shadows or not, it can feel a bit stress and I feel like I shouldn't be stress over these things that enlighten me in my daily life. So here's how I plan to use up/ pan eyeshadows while giving love to other palettes in general.

As I do my makeup without good lighting in my car during my work day, it's hard for me to experiment with different shadows that I'm not familiar with. So my plan is, during my work day, I stick to my regular magnetic tarte small palette that has the basic shades such as: cream base, 2 brown crease, one dark brown for outer eye and one for eyebrow. Which totals up to 5 shadow.   Meanwhile I will try to switch around for shimmer shadow and glitter topper. 

I will say to myself that it's ok that I don't use the larger palettes much as it add anxiety to me if I can't do my make up nice and suitable for daily work. I want to have my makeup done but still presentable.

Over the years, I have experiment much. On western eyeshadow, to popular Japan drugstore eyeshadow, maybe haven't try much on korean eyeshadow, maybe in the future? but for now, after trying out so much stuff, I would say am contented with where I am, and certainly not a big fans of overly pigmented eyeshadows as it can mess up easily. As I go thru the age of 30+, I certainly felt like I want to start to declutter stuff and keep my makeup collection more orientated.
