Favorite ONE AND DONE Eyeshadows!

[@SmileLC100]

My all time favorite Eyeshadow was chanel d’ombre in epatant. I wore it for years. But, of course, it got discontinued. Every dupe I got, no one replaced that one. I miss it so much. Chanel really broke my heart. It was such a unique shade. I only wear single eyeshadow. It’s easy and quick. I don’t have time for 4 different eyeshadows to put on in the morning. And these single, sparkly ones always look soooo elegant. Unpopular opinion: I am a single eyeshadow person😆

[@swedishlina]

SmileLC100 It is my favourite eyeshadow too. When I found out that it was going to be discontinued I bought three backups. I'm currently on my last one right now. I find that since they are old they do tend to dry out a lot faster. I have not been able to replicate anything like it 😭

[@asomersk]

I still have that shadow! It's pretty dry but I refuse to get rid of it.

[@SmileLC100]

swedishlina Right? Such a unique one. I have two left but both dried out. I did try to “reactive” those with alcohol etc. But I am still heartbroken😆. There are some similar ones, Natasha Denona’s “Industrial” is similar but still, not just not the same. The sparkle, the texture, the shade.... Not replaceable😆 I am still hoping that Chanel will continue Epatant one day🤞🏽

[@kohk79]

My fave one was Emerveillé 😭

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

Have you tried the Nabla Single shadows? Their shimmers are THE BEST. Check out the live swatches on their website. Water Dream and Millennium are spectacular!

[@DrTaid]

🩺 I have watched this more than 10 times over the yrs since this was uploaded. Lots of these are my fav also.

[@sarajane_75]

I loved the story about the Nordstrom Tom Ford shadow; in my opinion that would be a good KZbin video idea - the stories behind purchasing the shades in person as compared to online; I still remember buying a MAC shade years ago from I think their "Hey, Sailor" collection and what influenced me was the artist's STUNNING eye look - included green eyeliner, and it was so crisp and so well done. I love shopping stories.

[@AntyTiff]

Thank you for all the swatching. I might buy the V.B. Mink.

[@sandyvandy6483]

That Victoria Beckham “Mink” looks fabulous on you.

[@veranicebishop7305]

I love to use eyeshadows as single, I am a person who does not know to much how to mix it together and above all I have hooded eyes. Thank you Michele for the swatches

[@MissReneeMichelle]

As I get older, the more I love single shadows. I started my makeup journey with a single shadow in a taupe, and I'll probably go full circle.

[@stacyketner]

Same!!!

[@Giannas1096]

Same. My most favourite is Dior Cosmopolite 🥰

[@blushfullyss]

omg same. haha, i feel exactly the same! and that hit me so hard this year and now im like, wheres all the single shadows at, instead of all the big palettes lols..

[@jiitkha]

That's so beautiful😽

[@Giannas1096]

@@jiitkha isn’t it? I’m totally in love with it.

[@LisaMonique]

My favorite shadow is a one and done! Thanks for the ideas!

[@rareplaid]

This is my favorite way to wear shadow! Colourpop in Amaze or Ofra in Bliss are my all time favorites.

[@eunicej]

The cosmopolite is beautiful! Love the surratt for one eyeshadow look. My faves are zibeline and cuivre

[@zusamy20]

I love shadows like this , a one shade all over the lid and a bold lip , it is so fresh and elegant!

[@normarodgers7033]

What color is that gorgeous lipstick please?

[@yokorivers5320]

Happy Friday, It is a very fun video. I love Chanel new moon and Chantecaille Copper shade. Have a great weekend❤️

[@di3486]

*Drooling* 😍 single shadow look is my fave. My eyes are so hooded that that’s usually all I can do but I have no complains. Those chantecaille ones are on my wish list for sure!😍

[@julieturner1541]

And my eyes are very deep set and one shadow is all I need.

[@Only2TRU]

OMG those Sisley ones are stunning, so stunning....the first two especially the silver and the pearl 💝💝

[@roxanneotto]

I am also doing the one and done eyeshadow more than ever before. I realized I need to pull my VB lid lustre in Mink back out! ;) Thanks, Michele!

[@catporter8417]

Roxanne Otto I love VB's lid lusters!

[@nics4338]

My fave for one and done are the Roen palettes 😍 super easy and quick for a polished look x

[@SeanKBeauty]

I love that you did this in a world where all of us are moving so fast to get things done… A video like this is super Duper helpful

[@aslbyweller]

Hi Michelle, perfect timing. I have been using a lot of single shadows. One of my favourites is Bobbi Brown Heat Ray, TF rose gold, CT STAR GOLD...uh oh I keep thinking of more. I have yet to buy any Chantecaille, it’s on my radar though.

[@Amber86queenbee]

Love this video. One and done is definitely my style. My favourite is Charlotte Tilbury in Jean / champagne. I also tend to buy eyeshadow palettes and treat them as a collection of singles (& mainly based on the shimmer shades). I know it is unusual but it is my style for work.

[@debbiek88]

I love this video! great for eyeshadow beginners too! Please do a one and done video with eyeshadow pallets i want to invest in a pallet that can give me a variety of one and done looks

[@vasanthimehta]

This was the video I have been wanting to see!! Thank you. I have simplified much of my eye makeup past 3 years due to eye sensitivity caused by hormonal changes and I don’t reach out to using heavy eyeshadow, eyeliner etc anymore. I have refined my shadow use to just veils of colors and liners using a gel pencil that I smudge out gently. Oh! This video was perfect for me and I appreciate how you detailed the textural feel, length of wear and ease of use!!

[@howtogirl]

Forgot to mention: I think you’d like the by terry ombré blackstar in misty rock. It’s similar to Chantecaille mermaid but a bit more dimensional and much longer lasting/safe from creasing. I’ve actually used one up and repurchased which I’ve never done with ANY other eyeshadow (cream or otherwise) before. Highly highly recommend it for a one and done!

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

OOOOHHH!!! Thank you Steph! I have actually had that on and off my wishlist forever, LOL! Now I'm just gonna buy it!

[@howtogirl]

Amy P and Dirty too ooh I hope you love it! It’s so handy when you’re in a hurry

[@catporter8417]

Terrific! I've been looking at both of these this week trying to decide! Thank you . Love these colors ❤️

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

Their Frozen Quartz shade is very similar to the Chantecaille Pangolin shade too, if you like that shade but in a creamy version.

[@catporter8417]

@@AnUrbanGypsy uh oh.....! LOL

[@sumansaran1]

I’m so excited that you mentioned Chanel’s Undertone and New Moon - two of my absolute favorites which aren’t talked about enough.

[@Elleffe]

This is exactly what I am doing now that I work from home and mostly have zoom calls. Thank you for always keeping your content so relevant! Love you as always, Michele

[@geraldlai9189]

laura mercier caviar stick in metallic taupe is the best one and done lid shimmer, so reflective and stays all day

[@coreym.9125]

I love this idea. I own the Roen 11:11 quad and I definitely use it more as a collection of 4 singles rather than a palette and I love using any one of them for single shadow looks. My Clionadh glitter shadow, Grisaille, is another great single shadow look. I just smudge it all over my lid, maybe fluff a buffing brush into the crease and that’s it. There’s enough pigment in it to create dimension but it’s still so glimmery.

[@victoriamyst4742]

What a fun video:)) 👍🏻 Chanel Undertone cream shadow is my absolute must have at all times, but I use it as a base for any eye makeup to last all day😉 Bronze patiné is gorgeous & looks multidimensional when worn alone! A great single powder shadow by Chanel is Talpa, sooo up your alley, taupe/mauvy/greyish... such a cool color. That Dior cosmopolite looks gorgeous ... yum.

[@bookgirl173]

Talpa + Silver Pink = ☺️

[@victoriamyst4742]

bookgirl173 must be bomb!!:))

[@bonniegeppert3912]

Love single shadow looks! Decorte makes great single shadow looks! Also love Tom Ford Emotionless and Charlotte Tillbury Eyes to mesmerize cream shadows as well.

[@christinaoconnell8288]

Whenever I can’t decide or am rushed to a zoom call, I grab the pale pink in the Ritualistic Rose ... it is somehow always right. But now this gives me so many other options ... wonderful!

[@cyncyn2688]

UGH this gave me SO much joy and enjoyment! I LOVE LOVE one and done shadows!! And for how much u are not a fan of using your fingers to apply shadows, honestly u did great and it was so quick too!

[@twannapermenter8229]

I love this video. There are so few woc doing a one-and-done eyeshadow swatch. Thank you. You swatched colors that i could use on my med-deep, warm, brown skin tone. I look forward to viewing more of your videos.

[@eimearmorrissey7236]

That Dior eyeshadow blended into a full glam eye look in a matter of seconds, I had to do a double-take! Can it do my tax return too? Great video Michele!! Any chance to peek inside your beautiful collection is a good day :)

I let out a loud OH when she put it on!

Yes! I think I might have to order that one! 😍

[@Ashpanlil77]

I love this video I really needed it! I have hooded eyes and too many colours can be pointless & lost on me - one colour eyes is my way forward - Thank You Michelle x

[@daviscg54]

I bought the Chantecaille luminescent Mare. It is a beautiful shimmery green. I never thought I would like it as much as I do. I use it as a single shadow, and I have never seen a such a simple but gorgeous color. It is a special edition.

[@vickycorey8195]

I love this! I'm disabled and some days I just don't feel like going all out with my make-up, so this is wonderful.

[@killianjones8453]

Burberry mono shadows in Shell and Nude (this one especially) - you will love these!

[@paulineenewman]

This is fantastic. Single shadows are just so easy to toss in your bag and get ready at a moment’s notice. The shades you selected are perfect for every day and especially for virtual meetings. Thank you for sharing Michele. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@TheMicheleWang]

You too Pauline

[@LavenderLife007]

I love Charlotte's. The one i was surprised by was dior i think. Gorgeous. Great video. Tom Ford was really beautiful too.

[@AVA-MARIA]

I love this video, my favorite of all time! Chanel New Moon is my go to shadow! I use it alone or as a base for other shadows! You gave me so many more options to try, thanks!! The Victoria Beckham has insane pigmentation, might have to try it!

[@jacquelinecurley9443]

Omg these shades are so gorgeous so hard to chose. I’m fair skin blue eyes and yes I have some aging on my lids So I like Sisley idea of having aging benefits. But the really liked the chantille duo right below it. so many choices.

[@bannailee]

love chanel ombre premiere, my Undertone dried up too but I saw a makeup artist spritzing UD all night spray straight into the pot and it totally revived it. It works for me too, of course it'll need spraying each time I use it but it's no big deal tbh, I plan to really use up my pots!

[@brendaf1033]

Thank you for the "one and done" roundup. I've definitely been going the route lately. So easy and pretty.

[@broadcastneo5289]

I think hooded eye lid is much cooler than a deep set eye especially using a single eyeshadow.. eyeshadow look obvious on it I love it.

[@kimberlyklug8191]

The Chantecaille Tibet duo is my new favorite! It is soooo beautiful on the eyes!

[@mememelane7170]

As a mom of 4 and going back to work I get more and more into one and done shades. I just ordered Tom Ford Platinum and Naked Bronze. Today I wear Misty Rock (by Terry) like mentioned in a comment below.

[@mscalucas]

Thank you for bringing out VB Mink - it is truly a marvelous rich color and I love your application for a day-time smokey eye look. I just put it on along with my Kosas Electra lipstick on the lips (and a bit on the checks). Fabulous if I do say so myself.

[@bleujeen]

My fave cream shadows are the Ellis Faas ones that come in a wand. One small swipe, blend with finger...they are beautiful for one and done! Great color options too - not just neutrals. :)

[@theresag1969]

Thanks Michele. I must say this One and Done selection is very exciting.

[@cynthiasolomon885]

I resisted getting Sisley eye shadows for a long time as they’re so expensive. But finally splurged and they are beautiful and really worth it. The right balance of glisten and tone. Not as shimmery as they look in the pan but a beautiful subtle luster on that gives them depth and richness. I’m over 40 and finding shadow that really works is not easy as the matte and shiny options are often heavy or unflattering but these are just perfect. I’ve been using the Chanel les beiges palette in medium for a year as it’s the only one that always worked before these ( that’s a great one , too ). I got the sparking topaz, a soft pink and plum color. Thank you, Michelle for highlighting their products. They’re so pricey, but for these shadows it’s been worth it.

[@missaiwen3973]

omg I love your choice! Especially the Dior one, so stunning! And your rings get me every time I watch your video!

Ooo really Victoria Beckham's eyeshadow blending looks amazing - the transition it made

[@mariazak37]

as single eyeshadow, I personally love the chanel fawne but I think is dismiss ..... love also the dior one gorgeous!!!!

[@asomersk]

Tom Ford Platinum cream shadow is my favorite one and done shadow of all time. Hourglass Scattered Lights are gorgeous, also Roen shadows work best (IMO) as one and done. Love your picks too.

[@pennycameron1003]

chanel New Moon is so beautiful

[@muddledwords8150]

Oh my, pangolin is so gorgeous and unique. Will definitely have to look into it! Single shadow eye looks are too underrated on youtube.

[@simonelehner7421]

This video is SO JUST IN TIME! I agree with all of your mentioned eye shadows. I also love CT Marie Antoinette (now Oyster Pearl) or the pink highlight in TF INCANDESCENT!

[@Purplenpinkk]

Gosh, this is an amazing and comprehensive video on the one eyeshadow look. I love these swatches. I have hooded lids and smaller almond shaped eyes, and I just cannot get the whole multiple shadow blending thing to work for me. It just ends up being a heavy and dark shadow mess - no differentiation of colors can be seen - that makes my eyes look smaller. I've decided I need to go the one shadow look with just a highlight on the brow bone and the corners of my eyes.

[@mitziedoll]

I completely agree about cosmopolite. I wear that one all the time. I also love the sisley single shadow formula. I actually hit pan on Topaz and the shadows have not been out that long. I also love glow pearl but it isn't one I love by itself with my eyeshape. I have the glow coral which kind of looks like the second eye. What I also do with sisley, especially lately because I have been lazy is using the orchidee blushes as either single shadows or with one of mine. Both the pink and coral one have a subtle shimmer and I like taking a small blush/contour brush and sweeping it so that it is heavier on the lid fading toward the brow. With the coral one I like using patting a bit of the glow coral on the lid or the topaz. The pink one is more of a monochromatic look for me. I love it on the cheeks and eyes with a sheer wash of the same tone gloss on the lips.

[@tammyeaton4791]

For those who have a collection of the Mercier caviar sticks I highly recommend laying down a layer of Cobblestone and then going over that with Intense Amethyst.

[@KL-gu4nw]

This video Michele was fantastic! Thank you. What do you think about stick shadows from Bobbi Brown or Laura Mercier for single shadow looks?

[@TheMicheleWang]

They're lovely! I haven't tried the BB, but have the LM and they're great. I forgot about my stick shadows for this video.

[@scottandmatt1]

I also like the Chanel liquid shadows especially the light pink

[@minniemadonmakeup]

Enjoyed this! Loved your recommendations. Im def picking up Chanel New Moon and Pangolin from Chantecaille 😍 x

Thanks. I really can only do single shadow now because of my aging eyes. I used to have a lot more lid space, but my lids are sagging now, so I'm keeping eyes simple.

[@sharakirkby2744]

This is such a good idea. Any frosted colour would be spectacular to me.

Back in the day I bough a couple of Ritual de Fille cream shadows but they creased on me and made little white heads (?) appear on my lid, so I swore never to buy cream shadows again. But you are tempting me...

My go too everyday look is a one and done shadow look .. My favorite rosey nude shade is Lolita from KVD it is a multipurpose pigment that makes a beautiful blush and nude lip when you use it with lipbalm.. I am drawn to rosey nudes, reds, plums, maroons, wines and cranberry shades .. I love the Lancome Monochromatique shadows in soiree, french affair and haute coture they are also multipurpose pigments for eyes, lips and cheeks .. I use a wet brush with these same pigments to use as a liner .. Dose of Colors has a stunning deep red shadow with silver flakes that looks so beautiful on brown eyes either as a wash of color or applied darker with your fingers ..More people should know how wonderful this technique looks on eyes ..

[@TheMocao]

I used to love the metallic tube cream shadows by Laura Mercier - anyone remember those? Lately I’ve been using the taupe shade in the Wayne Goss palette - okay, ya got me...I do deepen my crease too.

[@cynthiasstylemua9822]

Hi Michelle, I've heard that you can add a bit of Duraline to your potted shadows to revive them if they dry up.
