@07:16 ..With total respect and love, the term you may have been searching for, on the fly, as you narrated this video? "Secondary Green". You know: from art class/beauty school/college arts degrees...Colour Theory & The Beloved Colour Wheel! 1- Primary: Red, Yellow, Blue. Cannot be busted down any further to reveal new colours. OR! No new colours that we humans... (or possibly not *all* of us, but we'd have no way of knowing that because experience is subjective.) ...with our limited eyesight/brainpower, in the dimension we inhabit, can all experience, anyway.) 2- Secondary Colours: Green, Purple, and Orange. This is where you take a Primary, like Red, skip the colour clockwise to it, (orange) and mix it with the next one down. Yellow. Yeah: you just skipped a colour that, as-of-yet didn't exist, in order to MAKE it exist! Fun, huh? 3- Tertiary Colours: *deep breath* Red-Orange, Orange-Yellow, Yellow-Green, Green-Blue, Blue-Indigo, Indigo-Purple, and Purple-Red. Put all the slices of the pie together, in their proper order... (Y'know the triangle triad of pie shapes-in-a-circle-nuclear-symbol? Two primaries would be at the "top-sides", while the final primary would go in the bottom wedge.) .....and you get a whole-assed colour wheel. You could get really fancy and do 2-3× Tertiary colours, or create separate wheels of varying brightness, that fit together to show Value (how saturated a colour is). Or add "grunge" to one of the circles. Another cool trick! If you mix any one colour with its opposite on the wheel, you'll end up with "Complimentary Colours." A weird name, because they basically turn to muck, cancelling eachother out. (Like peach colour correcting to neutralize blue-violet undereye discolouration. You know the deal.) Another trippy thing about "Complimentary Colours", and the way they probably got their name. If you take them, and put them side-by-side, they make eachother POP! They look more vibrant next to eachother. Hence, one of the reasons why your Bloodstone Palette looks so breathtaking: the differing values, shades, and textures of blues and oranges. Complimentary colours. Plus you're rad at this! This the first video of yours I've seen. I found your artistry and talent amazing, but also, your voiceover was so soothing. I realize that *you're* aware AAALLLLLL of this Colour Science, Ash. I mostly wrote it for fun, and for anyone in the comments whom were unaware of the science of colour. Yes: I spell it with a U. It's a Canada thing. Or it was? We're a Commonwealth Country, but a weird one. Perhaps because we have the largest unprotected border (besides Russia and Mongolia) in the world. Make that with the trigger-happy, Military-Industrial-Complex-lovin' United Estadas. So, there's FAR more U.S. culture adaptation leakage into Canada than from UK. Some things stuck, though: mostly spelling and bad teeth because "Universal Healthcare" doesn't include ocular or dental care, unless you have money to go to a specialist. Or unless something is so infected it'll kill you. Then they'll yank the tooth. Or eye. Or both. I digress again. The switch from Imperial to Metric happened waaayyyy before I was born, so I have a weird melange going on. Spelling "Color" looks soooo wrong to me. I drive in Km/h, but I think of height/weight in Imperial. But other things i think of in ounces from my days as a stylist, and. .. other things. I use z a lot, whereas most Commonwealth Countries go out of their way not to. Especially Australia, I've noticed. In AU, it's "decolourisation." Whil(st)😅 I spell it "decolourization." ** **One of the many beauty euphemisms I learned, as opposed to "Bleaching" (also see "Lifting, High-Lighting.). Which, along with "Dyeing," (Tint or Low-Lighting!), "Perm/Chemical Straightening" (Chemical Texturization or de-texturization!) "Hairdresser"(Stylist/Colour and/or Texture Technician), and "Customer" (Client or Guest.) These terms were almost erased from my brain in hair school, and the following cult-like weirdness of that industry in the aughts. Anywaayyyyy! Gorgeous work! I'm stoked to go backwatch your other work! I'll L/S/C/S, so the algo can do what it do. Have a bitchin' day!

-first of, yeah the mattes are amazing it's true I do not know why some people, famous and less famous, reached the consensus that they are "okay"... i mean, ok snob! lol -Blendbunny is amazing she never did anything wrong in her life! -i am self taught. and I think until recently I wasn't aware/smart enough to fully appreciate the artistry behind the design of this palette. but yeah, you are absolutly correct the 6 normal shades are bulding blocks for the special shades. -I get what you say when you say they arent the best. And it's true they aren't THAT special. I think we need to talk about the intensity of the spark. Indie shadow are more intense and cheaper (more affordable). Don't get me wrong, I get compliments on my eyes each time I use those shades . -and they are sooooo expensive! toooooo expensive, ma'am! Wait on the sales! -loved the swatch party! Now for me these palette weren't about the special shade. I am immune to the hype, I never quite suffer from FOMO, so I hadn't heard of the special shade until I bought the palette myself, hahahaha! I think we've reach point in time and culture where the eyeshadow palette is polymorph. (art object, useable, collectible, merch, etc...) So for me Motherships are piece of art that have a very special place in my collection. They encapsulate the time and the artistry of a bygone era (look at me being all Tolkien and shit) but yeah they are very good but not 120$ good; not in this economy! again thank for the inspo with the looks! see you on motherships 2/5/6 (those that I have) take care 💚

I treasure my Mothership collection but I think they're massively overhyped and overpriced (except for Midnight Sun which is underhyped, but still overpriced, in my opinion). I will always recommend buying these palettes on sale, or just buy singles that dupe the special shades, if that's what you're after. Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️❤️

Love your channel: the pallette building, using them and showing looks. Very on par with what I like to do, though I've mostly duped palettes. You've inspired me to create my own. I also have depotted all my eyeshadows and store in magnetic pallettes or turn original packaging into a magnetic palette. I've had lots of success repressing shimmers, glitters and satins into new pans but not so much with mattes. Suggestions?

Thank you so much! And I've personally found making my own palettes more enjoyable than creating dupes, so I hope you find it enjoyable too! And for repressing mattes, I would recommend breaking them up as much as possible and using isopropyl alcohol to help reconstitute them in the new pan. I'm still learning the best way to repress eyeshadows myself, so I'm not sure other than that. I hope that's helpful! Thank you for watching ❤️❤️❤️

NailTube found its way to my algorithm this time last year and I can see it fueling an addiction. I've been close to that. I feel the vibe of this video so much. My mom has a shopping addiction. I think seeing what this addiction has done to her has really helped reel me in. My dad passed in 2020 and my mom did not properly deal with her grief. She owed 20,000 dollars to HSN. She had to sell the house she lived in since 1995. Another way I don't go down that path is by holding myself accountable to my own anti- capitalist political beliefs. I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. When you started this channel, what were your goals?
@the_ash_tree
@the_ash_tree Ай бұрын
First and foremost, I'm so sorry for your loss, and I'm sorry for what your mom is going through. Grief can be so hard to deal with, and I know from my own experiences how easy it is to fall into your addictions in search of comfort and escape, so I feel for your mom. I hope she's doing better and getting help for what she's dealing with. I wish I could blame NailTube for my sudden obsession with buying nail polish, but really, it happened because I got bored with the little collection of nail polish I already had. If I had been smarter about it, I would have given myself a limit on how many nail polishes or how much money I could spend, but hindsight is twenty-twenty. And whether it's nail polish, or books, or makeup, it's so easy to buy too much, especially with online ordering. When I started the channel, I didn't really have a goal beyond finally making videos, which is something I'd wanted do since I was 17 (about eight years before I started posting). Nowadays, the goal is just to make content I enjoy watching, which consists of BYOPs, no-buys/low-buys, anti-hauls, and panning projects. Thank you for watching, and for your comment ❤️❤️❤️
