MAKING A BAD-LOOKING EYESHADOW PALETTE FOR GOOD-LOOKING EYES

Peeps, I hope the sound is still ok! We are making some changes (i.e. Joe's never-ending crusade to improve production quality) and there's always an adjustment period with new tools and methods. Thank you so much for being here! xoxoxoxoxoxox

A good name for this personal palette could be “Dish Water Soap Bubbles” because many of the shadows have that multicolored sheen like bubbles in the sink as you wash dirty dishes

[@mandymouse1879]

Okay, so what you’ve done here reminds me of the Wayne Goss palettes and his approach to palette building. A lot of people on KZbin seem unimpressed with the “color story” he chooses, but I love it because its not really a color story as much as a collection of tools for developing an idea. It requires a vision rather than offering a visual inspiration up front. No one is really doing that with pre-made palettes because they don’t attract the average consumer. To me, its the perfect middle ground (or hybrid?) between Makeup Artist and Makeup Junkie!

[@kagitsune]

Ooohhh, good insight!

[@angelicahorsman5439]

now we need a video of looks using this pallet !!

[@whitevine9544]

I second that.

[@kagitsune]

Self-made Palette of the month series, perhaps? 😁💖

[@LindseyBedro]

Yes please!!!

[@olilianasanchez5026]

Siiiiii!

[@Olivina330]

#1 you have ethereal fairy hands if there is such a thing, #2 you're a visionary, and instead of duping the vibes of pre-made palettes, I always dupe the Hannah vibes on the month! 🥰

[@amyzing3603]

I do this as well!! 💃

[@norailves6823]

I got my first shot of the vaccine today and I'm feeling kinda dizzy and light-headed and it's so calming to listen to your soothing voice and looking at your beautiful singles collection. Takes the stress away. Thank you so much for your videos. Always gorgeous and inspiring.

[@ZovestaDark]

Building a palette as a "tool" rather than for a colour story is always how I build my palettes, so this was easily my favorite of your palettes!

[@river8142]

As a neutrals girl who doesn't use a lot of deepening shades, this palette speaks to me haha

[@sugaCat363]

I honestly love this. The palette looks so understated but still beautiful, but then the swatches reveal the layers (literally) of potential. As always I love listening to you talk about technique and color while digging your fingers into product.

[@kagitsune]

Yessss, it's like what I wish Tom Ford makeup actually was. The height of sophistication. Dang, now I need to make a dress based on these 😭👗🖤

[@jessicastakes-upshaw9575]

The potential of that color story speaks to me even if some people don’t see it. It’s attractive to the eye when you KNOW the colors individually and that’s all that matters. I dig it :).

[@MoonlitSunflower]

The most interesting thing to me about this palette is the blue layered over the red shade. Stunning neutrals like you chose can really be remarkable on the eye. I'm not as moved as you are by the swatches but I'm not sure that the swatch of the neutral shimmer in Ambiance would make people gaga, but it really does make me just stare at how remarkable it looks in my inner corner. I'll be interested to see your eye looks in the coming weeks.

[@KendraMorgan]

Audio sounds amazing Hannah. Joe, your art doesn't go unnoticed. Very very beautiful video. Truly inspirational both in content and also the audio and video quality. 👌

[@WishesHeritage]

This is the perfect cool edgy wedding makeup palette!

[@AvilaCranfill]

So helpful! my eye shadow stash is mostly singles and I love putting together palettes, but I don't spend enough time swatching and thinking about how they can be layered together 🤔🤩

[@nauticamelyn]

I love layering shadows! I'm also into the wet look right now, although I'm on a blue kick. I do crave those clionadh shadows tho, so stunning!

[@cjevans6365]

Thanks Hannah, I was hoping you’d do one of these videos soon. You inspire me to have some makeup play time with my singles.

[@SaminSays]

Okay I just discovered your channel through Samantha and had to subscribe because I'm binging this collection of curating custom palettes and it really shows the thinking that goes behind putting different shades together. It's really sharpening my eye as an artist. Thank you for these

[@brittanyfletcher434]

Love this type of video! Feel really inspired to try “wash” of shimmer and color eye looks now, will definitely go use more of my own eyeshadows now! Thank you for the new ideas 😊

[@linnealarsson2434]

To me it looks like a palette for doing something more than a bare lid but not much with the choice to take a few more steps if you so choose, so pretty! Perfect to complement/play with a red lip! As always a pleasure to watch 🌻🌻🌻

[@theIaurenshow]

Layering eyeshadow is so elegantly wild. I love it! Endless possibilities

[@lisadippity]

I miss the one week one palette videos. It would be amazing to see you do the one week one palette using the palettes you create!

[@kirstenglae]

So interesting, now I think I will also have a broadened perspective regarding new palettes. If a palette came out like this, with a much more utilitarian purpose (for creating looks like you have been describing), I think I would absolutely be interested in it. I guess the utilitarian aspect would need to be defined somewhere (e.g., marketing, description), stating what looks specifically it is useful for.

[@cinemaocd1752]

I think to market something like this you would need amazing photography. I love the way Pat McGrath's eyeshadows are photographed, in very low light so that all the sparkles hit. It makes you feel like you are in a glamorous disco from a byegone era. Something like that would work to market your "bad-looking" palette.

[@Viennafly1]

The space cowboy on that black warrants a whole smoky eye makeup tutorial. Ugh SO pretty!!!!

[@LauPulstar]

Yay! I love these videos of DIY palettes. They are my favorite. I can imagine you making palettes inspired by books, movies, travel destinations, even tango. I love how you describe each choice and search for the right eyeshadows. Very enjoyable. Love form Argentina! (also, it could be fun to see three different looks with this new palette)

[@RaniaMich]

Ive recently sort of pressed some neutral pigments and been using them along with a neutral palette I'm panning, and this palette is soooo inspiring to me. I'll be using my basic panning shades along with some juicier clionadh shades and denona toppers, for sure! :)

[@sveme5450]

This is so fascinating, because i recently built a really similar palette out of necessity - i was doing some makeup for a theatre production - and it has been 3 or 4 weeks and i have yet to take her apart. Even though the palette is not even close to the colours i usually put together

[@teeganlester1656]

I could watch HLP's overhead vids all day long, I get so inspired to play with my own makeup when I watch!

[@sophielapierre8987]

These videos are so much fun to watch! Thanks Hannah!

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

Yayyyyy I love your BYOP videos! 💜✨ Also, Urban Decay Space Cowboy is such a gem! 🙌🏻 I top it over everything. I can definitely see myself eventually panning it and repurchasing. It's incredible. I'm curious about the other shades in that line.

[@happytrails699]

I wish Adept was making more single shades. They are so pretty.

[@cherrybearylemondrop]

I keep checking to see if they're back.

[@taniaquinones3447]

@@cherrybearylemondrop nothing is ever in stock I've been trying to make an order since Feb.

[@dapperfish]

Saaaame 😢 I had the chance to get some stuff from the US recently and was so disappointed to see none of their singles were available. What a missed opportunity for me! I only have one of their singles and it's one of my favourite eyeshadows ever, I've been lusting for more ever since, but living in Europe I have a hard time getting my hands on them.

[@Sassyglbeauty]

I feel like maybe they are trying to move towards palettes. But, hope I’m wrong.

[@KendraMorgan]

I actually know a content creator who interviewed business owner of Adept and yes, they are planning to release single eyeshadows again but they have reformulated (or rather sold their original formula) and are currently working on the restock of the palettes they currently have and then will go back to selling singles again. This was the jist of the conversation anyway. I'm not quite sure of the timeliness of the release will be though

[@heatherlee2967]

I duped the vibes of Em Cosmetics for the first time yesterday, and it helped me realize that I can’t exactly do it because I don’t have enough pinks and golds. Thank you for helping me have a healthier relationship with shopping.

[@fray-adjacent]

About to watch, I love the title! Some of my favourite self-made palettes aren't much to look at as such.

[@BineFold]

Yesssss! I was craving this kind of video the whole day! Thank you!!

[@BineFold]

Oh btw it's 7pm here :D

[@taniaquinones3447]

I also picked up space cowboy after wanting it for a while. Love mine.

[@thejulietocean]

This is exactly what I’ve been doing with eye looks recently!!! Love seeing this for inspiration

[@StevenForditude]

This video is really inspiring me to do something similar. Thanks for sharing.

[@shawnmomof2]

This is a very enjoyable video. I love your philosophy behind makeup

[@sara.fernandes]

I love to see you curate your own palettes! Such a relaxing video :)

[@justinelahure2156]

I’m looking forward for you to create an eyeshadow palette and fullfill my dream makeup possibilities 😍

[@whitevine9544]

I love this video and how you are so inspired to do something you have been in love with doing and not what would be predictable for a byop.

[@Reiliferei]

Love this concept. I suppose I kinda do this, making a palette to reach for as tools. I would like to try this on purpose.

[@disgruntledmoderate5331]

Your nailpolish is beautiful, and really vibes with the polish.

[@lj1610]

Space cowboy reminds me of cpop ritz

[@Sassyglbeauty]

I’ve been using the white Elf putty eye primer. It makes my shadows stay ALL day!

[@nattyjuneart]

i love this so so so much. will you do a similar video when you go to build your next palette? i love seeing your eyeshadow singles collection 😍

[@katieodonnell2100]

Water dream from nabla is similar to space cowboy if you want an alternative x

[@ashlovesblush13]

I just made a palette with a bunch of single one and done/topper shades too! Love this girl!

[@dapperfish]

I totally disagree, the palette spoke to me from the thumbnail and I hadn't even seen those gorgeous swatches! It's stunning! I want it, and I'm not an eyeshadow palette person, much less neutral looking - I'm much more of a colourful exciting singles kind of person. If this was your collab eyeshadow palette I'd be all over it!

[@Quit3Cut3]

Lost my voice do laryngitis.. not COVID I got swabbed Friday and it was negative. But I’m bored in bed and can’t talk, so this video definitely boosted my mood!

[@fray-adjacent]

This was me last week! I was pretty salty about it because not getting random colds etc was the one unambiguous upside to the pandemic for me.

[@abidavies154]

It's so weird that you're doing this eyelook this week and I was doing that eyelook this week 😂 I guess we both got the same idea. Such a cute quick look at the moment!

[@gdimu23]

Your palette reminds me of Urban Decay Stoned Vibes! Beautiful useful colors and all the pretty glitters and sparkle!

[@dinasourprincessparty]

Honestly, if you ever do a collab it should be exactly this. Sure it would be harder to market, but not impossible if you made the layering aspect selling point. Hell you could even call it Layering and show different layered combination in the PR swatches.

[@melbygrace]

Another gem from HLP! Lovely. I did a custom 10 pan with what I own last night. I REALLY wanted the PMGL divine rose. I totally duped the vibes. If anyone in the community has suggestions for a dupe of the glitter topper shade, I would be grateful!

[@persephonegrail1995]

I really think Bernovich x 02 in their sparkly shades (not glitters) is very much like that. A neutral-to-cool sparkly light champagne topper!

[@melbygrace]

@@persephonegrail1995 ooh! Thank you. I haven’t heard of the brand. I will go check it out now. I appreciate the suggestion!

[@persephonegrail1995]

Mias Virtual Vanity has a video swatching all of the shadows she has from them! They're from EU, but the shipping is super reasonable. :)

[@evoks_1]

This reminds me of UD Distortion palette but with better topper shades. I still love that palette even though it got mediocre reviews. This is really pretty and inspiring to me. Lovely picks.

[@curlymakeup1601]

This combination of colors really speaks to me 😍

[@BeautywithElodie]

These are my favorite sort of videos from you ♥️

[@ndeluca77]

As soon as the video started I noticed the audio. It sounds great!

[@kagitsune]

All I can say about this video is: yes. All of it. Singles forever. Or even little "teaching" quads. Like, "here is a beige, a black, a satin red, and a glimmering topper. Go wild." 😁🖤💖

[@paulboard8221]

This gives me like if the duece and saharan palettes had a kid that went to Juilliard tbh in both color scheme and lack of immediate coherence If I were to market this I'd cheat and add a matte deep blue and brick red to appeal to the unwashed masses

[@Vivinglavida]

Tiene una vibra a la ultima paleta de urban decay ( vi que hiciste otro video) pero esta te quedo como con ese concepto de una paleta de colores neutros con buenos toppers , en los swatches se ven increibles los tonos

[@kalipsoo18]

I love this type of videos! 🥰

[@jnobrega_9802]

I would buy a palette like that! Gorgeous! Maybe, UD have tried to do something like that with Ciber...but they weren't successful...

19:12 that wet glossy deep black spoke to me…. 👀 WOW It’s just 2 shadows but it feels as if it were the surface that guards the deepest part of the ocean. i could dive in that Thank you for the clear swatches and for explaining the idea behind the selection! 🥰

[@ivyb4351]

Zoeva did this with the opulence palette and it did not sale the best

[@RaniaMich]

Your videos always made me want to try adept but I've asked several times if they plan to start shipping to more locations and never got an answer, and after the latest fiasco with the presale etc, I'm really disappointed with them... :( Haven't watched the video yet, just had a sneak peek at the thumbnail!

[@SaucerJess]

[@RocaillewritesBlogspotcom]

2 days ago I decided to dismantle my palette of singles, reorganize my shadows to get reacquainted with my collection and thus get inspired to play with makeup again. In the process, I settled on a smaller (12 pan) palette and opted just for simple mid tone bronzes with sparkly toppers from Devinah and Looxi - almost exactly like your idea but a slightly different base color. So now I'm thinking maybe I subconsciously dupe HLP makeup aesthetic before it's even articulated (clearly through watching too many Hannah's videos ;), or it's a sign of a broader trend that can be seen in the new Patrick Ta palette as an example. Interesting!

[@kalipsoo18]

I love this type of videos! 🥰
