Hey guys, welcome to today’s video! I’m back in action with more coffee and I haven’t stopped this trend, so cheers! Today, we’re going to get down and chatty with the makeup. We’re doing a declutter and as you can see, I have a massive amount of palettes behind me. We’re kicking off a declutter moment where I want to clean house and make room for new things. I don’t want to be stuck in makeup chaos with bins of old products. In this video, I’ll be going through my collection and sharing which palettes I’m keeping and which ones I’m getting rid of. I’ll also be discussing my preference for neutral and cool-tone palettes, and sharing my excitement for some new palettes I can’t wait to try and keep. So, let’s dive right in and declutter together!
Keeping Only 15 Palettes
Selecting Favorites
When it comes to selecting which eyeshadow palettes to keep, it can be a daunting task, especially if you’ve accumulated quite a collection over the years. However, by narrowing it down to just 15 palettes, you’re able to focus on the ones that truly bring you joy and provide you with a range of shades for any occasion.
Considering Different Brands
Choosing from a variety of brands can help ensure that you have a diverse selection of eyeshadow palettes in your collection. While some may prefer sticking with just one brand, exploring different options can introduce you to new and exciting formulas and color stories.
Mix of High-End and Drugstore
In order to have a well-rounded collection, it’s important to include a mix of high-end and drugstore eyeshadow palettes. High-end palettes often offer luxurious formulas and packaging, while drugstore options can provide affordable alternatives that still deliver impressive results. Striking the right balance between the two can give you the best of both worlds.
Eyeshadow Palettes to Keep
Natasha Denona Biba Palette
If there’s one eyeshadow palette that deserves a spot in your collection, it’s the Natasha Denona Biba Palette. Known for its stunning selection of neutral shades, this palette offers a range of matte and shimmer options perfect for creating versatile and timeless looks. The velvety smooth formula of Natasha Denona eyeshadows ensures effortless blending and pigmentation.
Scott Barnes Palettes
Scott Barnes, renowned makeup artist and creator of the iconic J.Lo glow, has recently released a line of eyeshadow palettes that are definitely worth keeping in your collection. From his neutral-toned “Snatural” palette to the vibrant and bold “Color Bomb” palette, Scott Barnes offers a diverse range of shades suitable for every mood and occasion.
Preference for Neutral and Cool-Tones
When selecting the palettes to keep, it’s important to consider your personal preferences in terms of color schemes. If you tend to gravitate towards neutral and cool-toned shades, it’s advisable to prioritize palettes that cater to these color families. This ensures that you will always have options that complement your style and preferences.
Eyeshadow Palettes to Get Rid Of
Drugstore Palettes
While drugstore palettes can be a great budget-friendly option, it’s important to assess their quality and usage before deciding which ones to let go of. Oftentimes, drugstore palettes may not have the same level of pigmentation, blendability, and longevity as their higher-end counterparts. Consider decluttering drugstore palettes that you rarely reach for, as they may not provide the desired results you’re looking for.
Considering Quality and Usage
When deciding which eyeshadow palettes to get rid of, it’s essential to assess their quality and how often you actually use them. If a palette has poor pigmentation or lacks versatility, it may be time to say goodbye. Moreover, if you find yourself consistently gravitating towards certain palettes while neglecting others, it’s a good sign that the neglected ones should find a new home.
Excitement for Trying New Palettes
Exploring New Releases
One of the perks of maintaining a curated eyeshadow palette collection is that it leaves room for trying out new releases and exciting collaborations. Staying up-to-date with the latest trends and releases in the beauty world allows you to expand your creativity and keep your makeup collection fresh and current. So, don’t be afraid to treat yourself to that new palette that catches your eye.
Expanding Makeup Collection
By keeping your eyeshadow palette collection limited to just 15, you create an opportunity to expand and diversify your makeup collection. This allows you to explore different color schemes, finishes, and formulas, ensuring a well-rounded collection that suits every occasion and mood. Embrace the excitement of discovering new palettes and watching your collection grow.

Face Palettes Considerations
While the focus of this article has been on eyeshadow palettes, it’s worth mentioning the importance of decluttering face palettes as well. Face palettes, including blush, bronzer, and highlighter palettes, play a crucial role in completing a makeup look. Therefore, it’s essential to assess their quality, usage, and suitability for your skin tone before deciding which ones to keep.
Assessing Usage and Quality
Decluttering face palettes requires a careful evaluation of their usage and quality. Consider whether you reach for certain palettes on a regular basis or if they have been sitting neglected in your collection. Additionally, assess the pigmentation, blendability, and longevity of the products to ensure that they meet your expectations. It’s important to prioritize face palettes that enhance your complexion and make you feel confident.
Settling into a New Home
Dealing with Challenges
Moving to a new home can pose various challenges, including organizing and setting up your makeup space. It’s important to plan ahead and consider the layout and storage options available in your new home. Invest in storage solutions like drawers, organizers, and vanity mirrors to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing makeup space. With a little bit of creativity and organization, you can conquer any challenge that comes your way.
Creating a Makeup Space
Setting up a dedicated makeup space in your new home is an exciting opportunity to create a personalized and inspiring environment. Consider your needs and preferences when it comes to lighting, storage, and organization. Ensure that your makeup space reflects your personality and provides a comfortable and enjoyable space to apply your makeup. Personalize it with decor and accessories that bring you joy and make it a space that you look forward to spending time in.
In conclusion, keeping only 15 eyeshadow palettes allows you to curate a collection of palettes that truly bring you joy. By considering different brands, mixing high-end and drugstore options, and prioritizing your preferences, you can create a versatile and well-rounded collection. Don’t forget to regularly assess the quality and usage of your palettes to ensure that you’re only keeping the ones that enhance your makeup routine. Additionally, embrace the excitement of trying new releases and expanding your collection. Remember to extend the decluttering process to face palettes and create a cozy and functional makeup space in your new home. Enjoy the journey of building a collection that reflects your unique style and brings endless inspiration to your makeup routine.
