A Glimpse in My Palettes

Here's a look into my current makeup palettes. I prefer depotted shades because 1) Palettes take up less room 2) I remember to use all the shades because they're there in plain view and 3) I don't have to rummage through a whole drawer looking for a specific shade. I do love special packaging, but I will ruin it to put that shade in a palette if I know it's a keeper forever.

One thing I love about Japanese or Japanese inspired brands is that they make depotting so easy. They have holes in the packaging and easy light glue. You can just pop the pan out by poking them through the hole in the back. You don't have to ruin the package depotting it and then you can put it back in the case if you want to in the future. Everyone else should learn from this and make their items easy to depot. It's the way makeup has been going for years, even with the non pro makeup artists.

I wasn't originally going to list the shades, but I figure I'll get asked so might as well. I'll do left to right, top row to bottom row. Yes I know it's a lot of browns and nudes and might be boring for those color adventurers. I love browns/nudes in every shape and form.
