As I'm responding to these wonderful comments, I realized that one of the main reasons I had to include DR 2 on this list was because of its impeccable formulation. Perhaps with the exception of the first three Motherships, there's always a shade or two that needs some finessing. But in DR 2??? All the textures were S TIER. From the mattes to the astral shades. And every time I used it, the security I felt in knowing that whatever shade I used was going to deliver??? Yup.

[@kouzelnice]

Totally agree! Not my fav color story but the quality is amazing and beginner friendly! I keep reaching for it, even the metallics work amazingly in the crease!

[@vivianagbegha2712]

I just love your obvious passion for Pat’s motherships. Your descriptions are vivid and exciting.

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you, Vivian 🙆🏽‍♀️ And I have a blast sharing with you all because who else will I gush with 😂

[@andreamarksberry345]

YES! Well said! I was pretty much going to comment this exact thing but I’ll just second yours!❤

[@vivianagbegha2712]

@@andreamarksberry345 :-)

[@chunk1179]

exactly!!

[@RaelNikolaidis]

I had to tell you. I just got my very first PMG Mothership palette yesterday. Mothership X. I want to thank you for your extensive reviews. They helped me so much. I was able to choose the colour story that works for me. And OMG! I had very high expectations, of course. I was not disappointed. Opening the illustrated art packaging, then holding that black lacquer case, the weight of it surprised me. Then lifting the lid to reveal the eyeshadows. My mouth dropped open. I own ND and Huda palettes but PMG eyeshadows are a different level. It’s the most beautiful piece of makeup that I own. Thank you so much for the time and the work you put into all your vids. I just love your energy and personality. And now I have a Mothership. I giggle every time I look at it.😊

[@aliciaarcher]

Stevie!! I’m so happy you are enjoying Mothership X, and the overall experience it delivers. I too remember when I opened my first Mothership, it was like WHOA! They truly are in a league of their own, and we love to be apart of their enchantment 👑

[@miaboca58]

Nice to see Pat’s eyeshadows again. Midnight Sun is my ultimate favorite.

[@aliciaarcher]

I love her so much 😭

[@LocdAnnLuvly]

Yep! I do not know why people sleep on Midnight Sun...So creative and versatile...Midnight Sun, Iconic Illumination-quad, Warrior 2 or Nubian 2 from Juvia's place are my travel pallettes...but...Midnight Sun is my favorite pallette in my collection pallette...So creative and versatile...

[@sonnil3762]

Midnight sun is the most underrated palette in her entire collection it’s absolute perfection! My favourite of them all as well ❤

[@aliciaarcher]

Yes yes!! It’s magnificent 😮‍💨

[@adelinewaight]

I enjoy creators who have such passion for the products they’re talking about.

[@Kiyonce.Kartier]

I love how your love for Midnight Sun has NEVER wavered, no matter the general beauty community consensus. I love her! My top 5 1) DR2 2) Midnight Sun 3) Moonlit Seduction 4) Subliminal 5) Sublime

[@aliciaarcher]

Midnight Sun is HER!! DAS IT!! 🤣

[@LocdAnnLuvly]

Thanks for giving us permission to write essays 😊 Top PMG favs: 1. M6--Midnight Sun 🌞 better known as "The One"... Favorite pallette in my collection and arguably the best PMG creation! From grocery shopping to office to After 5 and all life and living...If I could only have one pallette in my life...This would be it! 2. M4--Decadence: It only gets better as I age! Every "Chocolate Doll" or "Seasoned Lovely" should own this pallette! If I want to be edgy or glam this is it! 3. M3--Subversive: When I wanna be "Supah-Dupah Fly 😎" ...Plus I think it pairs well with Midnight Sun... 4. Blitz Astral Quad Nocturnal Nirvana! I absolutely love blue and green eyeshadows! The color story of this blue-green-indigo mini pallette is probably the best one for "chocolate girls" who love to play with blues and greens! The indigo-purple shadow is starting to hard pan but I revive it with a spritz of mix medium...I hope PMG brings her back. 5a. M5--Bronze Seduction--The door opener and...The Gateway pallette: This was my first PMG pallette. If it were not for this pallette I probably would not have considered making any investment in PMG/Mothership eyeshadow pallettes...When I saw it for the first time I said to myself "This is a pallette that is worth $125!" 5b. M10-Moonlight Seduction better known as "Bronze Seduction's little cousin!" Brilliantly ostentatious on so many levels-- exclusively After 5 or New Year's Eve! The downside is that she's little too light for deeper skin tones. The mattes would work better as blend out shadows on deeper tones, too...but..if you do not mind "the naughty-gaudy" go for it! Honorable mentions to: 6. Blitz Blitz Atral Quad Iconic Illumination--This is my "work horse PMG" pallette. She's a safe, reliable "get ready and be out the door in 15min " pallette! She's just a simple but pretty warm neutral...The Blitz Brown is great for either an outer corner shadow or eyebrow filler or even a transition shade for the deep skin tones! She's a great travel companion too! I hope PMG brings her back into the fold, too! 7. M2--Oh so Sublime! What hooked me was that gorgeous Blitz Green which is next to impossible to dupe! Otherwise she's another safe and familiar pallette with a color story that is all-inclusive--wearable for all skin tones and ages! She's good for the office, weddings, luncheons, or first dates (or court dates-can you say Not Guilty lol!) ...She's ideal for a nice gift, too! But the other shadows in het story are easy to dupe so...If I had a do over I'd buy her on sale... 8. M1-Subliminal: I do not own Subliminal yet, but, I really like the subdued and cool neutral color stories! These shades really make brown eyes stand out ...This pallette is appropriately named...I do not consider it a "must buy" because some of those mattes would seem too light for deeper skin tones plus...It has been on the market for a very long time so I am hoping that it will go on sale one day... 9. M8-Divine Rose 2: I do not own this pallette yet either because I am not all that crazy about pinks. I think this pallette was PMG's attempt to bring the "chocolate girls into the pink" She's another pretty but simple pallette that is great for bridal make up or high-teas and luncheons. I would only buy this pallette on sale though...The shadow formulas and its color stories are easy dupeable so...Why would I pay $125?

[@hadassahward7969]

After years of watching luxury makeup videos, this year I began to actually purchase… my first Mothership was Midnight Sun because of you… my second was Mothership 10 because of you also… I am stuck on number three… I also use Pat McGrath concealer, foundation, powder, lipgloss, highlighter, blush, lipliner… I will wait till the next sale to dive into the mascara, eyeliner, and bronzer! Again, all because of you! Every cent I have spent on the brand has been because of you! Thanks for the years of education and passion! You are a gift!

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you so much! And if you grab 3, that will be a killer trifecta. You’ll have a little bit of everything!

[@jamekatenort4123]

Subversive!!! Alicia Archer is responsible for that one for me! Lol

[@beautyisforfun5479]

This is what I came for…the gushing…the enthusiasm when describing Mother Pats creations! Love it! 😍❤️🙌🏾

[@aliciaarcher]

Hey Taunia!!! Now I’m committed to using them more, because they are incredible 😭

[@wl2414]

Midnight Sun is my one Mothership and I love it’s versatility. I use it for special occasions a for subtle looks just as well. I also love the variety of tones that aren’t pink!

[@aliciaarcher]

That’s definitely another reason that I failed to mention, and why it belongs on this list. In addition to Subliminal and Decadence, the only ones without pink!

[@cynthialees2760]

You are seriously a master at describing Pats exceptional Color stories! I love the inspiration your passion for her palettes creates! Thank you Alicia

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you, Cynthia! I appreciate that, and only hope to be successful in communicating her artistry!

[@mintkandi22]

Midnight Sun was my first Mothership palette and it is my FAVORITE! This palette is so slept on! It doesn't get the love and respect that it deserves!

[@tua82226]

MIDNIGHT SUN IS AMAZING!!!! I didn’t expect it to be my favorite 10 palette but it absolutely is!!!! Taboo alone. ALONE!!! Such a beautiful, pigmented medium tone brown. Not too warm, not too cool. Blends like a dream.

[@aliciaarcher]

RIGHT!? Taboo is THE ONE 😭

[@shans8635]

Midnight Sun is my absolute favorite. You can do so much with it!

[@aliciaarcher]

Right!? So many looks!!

[@janatelfer7283]

Your descriptions are the gourmet dinner of makeup commentary. Midnight Sun gets use year-round, because I love blitz violet orchid with denim!

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you for that, Jana!! And yes! BVO with denim is a match made in heaven 😌

[@DannyJoy88]

Yes! Justice for Midnight Sun! It was my first Mothership and still remains my favorite for every day. ❤

[@jennabeganinjanuary]

Your Pat McGrath palette videos are the best on the internet. I love your passion and creativity! Thanks for being you and doing what you do. 💕

Thank you so much, Rena! I truly appreciate it 🥰

[@melina_m_makeup]

Mothership VI is so underrated. It was my very first Pat Mcgrath purchase and i have collected everything since! And im even going to Mercari for the 6 pans that are discontinued..... so every palette, blush, highlighter... im addicted. Your reviews are so extensive and descriptive and really help me choose my first palette. Now my top 5 1.) Mothership I Subliminal 2.) Mothership III Subversive 3.) Mothership VI Midnight Sun 4.) Mothership IX Huetopian Dream 5.) Mothership X Moonlit Seduction

[@aliciaarcher]

I was hopping back and forth between DR II and Huetopian Dream 😮‍💨 And you can’t go wrong with Subliminal: Classic!!

[@melina_m_makeup]

@Alicia Archer same! But lately I've been reaching for HD! They are both stunning! So hard to choose from all my babies!

[@minsooha2816]

Huetopian Dream is my top mothership! I know people were upset it was more rosy pinks but as someone who wasn’t interested in the Divine Rose 1&2 releases it was the perfect option for me. Also the astral amethyst moon is my absolute favorite astral shade from Pat!

[@aliciaarcher]

Oooooo yes! I had a hard time picking between Huetopian Dream and DR 2. I think overall DR 2 has the better formula. But it’s all good that Astra Amethyst is more flaky than Astral Pink Moon. I don’t mind it, especially if your conservative with the dose.

[@gabrielanoll9078]

I can't understand why Midnight Sun is so under rated....it is actually my favourite of the lot...although it's like picking out your favourite child...coz I do love them all❤

[@aliciaarcher]

I love them all too 😭 I think it’s because Midnight Sun came after Bronze Seduction. And that palette was show stopping, especially since it sold out quickly!

[@elizabethferguson6052]

I didn't get my first mothership until 2020. I weighed my options so carefully - and I chose midnight sun!! It just seemed like the most versatile.

[@MsSavvy9]

I got into this "I want them all" pattern. There were a few that I knew right away, were not for me, but if I thought it was pretty I had to buy it. There is a difference between "I love that it's so pretty!" and "I would wear the heck out of that!" There were some happy shoppers on Mercari when I eventually re-homed swatched one time palettes. Huetopian Dream and Midnight Sun are the two palettes that I kept... they must be my favorites. I couldn't let them go...

[@aliciaarcher]

I think Midnight Sun and Huetopian Dream compliment each other so well 🥰

[@adrian-rx8rg]

Alicia Archer X Pat McGrath content is always my favorite on the whole ‘Tube, especially Mothership rankingsss! I’m so glad Bronze Devotion got some love in this vid! I never understood Mother Pat’s obsession with bronze shades until that one debuted in Moonlit Seduction, it totally opened my eyes and now I appreciate all the bronzes in my collection more; it’s just so deliciously evocative and glowy but it also does all the heavy lifting for so many looks as a softer setup shade omg. It’s hard for me to rank the Motherships I have, I think Divine Rose II might narrowly make the number one spot just because it’s so stinkin’ versatile, but I agree with you about Moonlit Seduction wholeheartedly. It’s like a toy box of kaleidoscopic-but-also-surprisingly-neutral brilliance that continues to surprise me after 10 months of continual use. I was apprehensive about a few of the shades at first but somehow it feels nostalgic and futuristic at the same time now and weirdly calls to me every time I do my makeup, I’m transfixed😵‍💫😭🤩 Mother Pat really cooked up something so special and enigmatic with that one and I’m glad to see it in this ranking especially because I think it got a lot of flack at the time of release (though I don’t understand why because it’s not pink or gold leaning to my eye like everyone was whinging on about?? And the gold shade is one of the brand’s most neutral??) ANYWAY, love the content and love the rant encouragement. Obviously. Can’t wait for there to be five more Motherships for you to rank Alicia!

[@aliciaarcher]

I love this analysis 😭 You outlined exactly why I adore Moonlit Seduction. Initially when you see it, it might scream monochromatic, but it’s much more. You truly need to throw away all assumptions and just play! Because the looks that can be created from that color story are simply glorious 🥹

[@alainiamorgan-james6896]

Mothership V in the Met Gala packaging was my first and will always have a special place in my heart. I also love subversive - best and boldest color story IMHO. Decadence - I got it on the first relaunch when it was in the Star Wars packaging...the height of the Pat McGrath launch shenanigans. I love midnight sun for its versatility. Lastly mothership II when I feel like playing it safe.

[@aliciaarcher]

That’s as a moment!!! ⚡️👑⚡️ Subversive is HER! I totally get it!

[@c.j.minster4292]

It’s impossible to watch your videos without buying at least one PMG palette… or most of them. 😅 started with Midnight Sun (& a 6-pan Lunar NY palette) because of your recommendations and it was my regular color story. Now that I have all the Motherships, I’d say my top 5 are Midnight Sun, Subliminal, Huetopian Dream, and Bronze Seduction. You’ve inspired me to play with DRII, Moonlit Seduction, and Sublime. I love that gold shade in Subversive - it helped me keep from buying a Lisa Eldridge palette. But most of the time. It’s too punk rock for my vocation. The mattes in Sublime seem disconnected and I prefer the shades in other palettes. I have to take the chance to trust the mattes in Moonlit Seduction like you do rather than reaching into my Viseart palettes and making my looks look like the 5 pan neutral holiday collection that is no longer available. Thank you so much for the inspiration!! I love your tutorials - I just rewatched your unboxing / 5 looks video w Midnight Sun and wore your Blood Moon / Jubilee / Blitz Violet Orchid combo on my day off.

[@aliciaarcher]

Hey C.J.! That’s how I feel about Bronze Seduction- it screams Holiday/Special Occassion, and I need to be in a particular mindset for that palette. I can understand how one wouldn’t think the mattes can work in Moonlit because of how impactful the metallics are, but they make lovely combinations. Although I realize that because of my skin tone, Plum Cabaret and Rosewood Romantique might not pull as warm/red on me. And they might appear like that on you, but I think the undertones lean more neutral.

[@sashawhyte7396]

I am so fighting the urge right now! No more “Mothership building” for me till the next sale😝🥲

[@c.j.minster4292]

@@sashawhyte7396 You can do it! The best is when the sale is higher than 30% plus you get a deeper discount for buying two at a time.. I mean, I was shocked to get Moonlit Seduction on sale close to launch because I bought it with another palette during a sale. PMG is the only eyeshadow I'm letting myself buy, since my collection is far too large for two eyes in one lifetime...but then, I keep coming back to Alicia's channel and remembering how much joy we share in this hobby...

[@sashaminium]

You’re the one who made me fall in love with Midnight Sun. I think I’ll have to use that one again soon ❤

[@aliciaarcher]

You and I both!!

[@CamilleRodriguez]

Midnight sun is literally the most stunning palette! I honestly got it for the olive shade but then appreciated and loved the rest of the shades. It’s perfect! 😍

[@princessncjaime]

midnight sun is also my favorite! i think the color story just MAKES SENSE. and the formulations are 💯. underrated for sure!!

[@kolleenf]

I absolutely ADORE Midnight Sun! It’s such a versatile palette that can go in a lot of different directions - daytime, nighttime, neutral, colorful, warm, cool. So many options! It’s just amazing. ❤

[@mayraholzer4542]

I only have 4 motherships, but adore each of them: Midnight Sun, Huetopian Dream, Moonlit Seduction, and Subliminal. The next one I plan to get is Divine Rose II

[@aliciaarcher]

Oooo those are fantastic 😍

I just bought Midnight Sun for my daughter and she loves it. One of my favorites too. 💜

[@aliciaarcher]

Hooray! I’m so happy to hear that 🥰

[@angelic_venom]

I agree. The Midnight Sun is my favourite and so underrated. I also love subliminal. Those are the ones I reach for, mainly becuase I seem to prefer cool tones. I need to reach for them more, I just find I want other palettes to add some more colour to the looks. Tomorrow is the day for midnight sun I think!! 💙

[@aliciaarcher]

Subliminal is classic! Those mattes are staple for sure-

[@marcalangdon8006]

I love midnight sun as well! I agree that the inspiration can be seen within the color story and have not regretted the purchase.

[@aliciaarcher]

I’m so happy to hear that!

[@BrownGirlBella]

Subversive was supposed to be my first as well (it was sold out) Night Creature and Gigabyte OH BABY! Every single one in Mothership 3 is a moment. These top 5 are really good… I might have to dust off my Top 5 Fridays and see which ones I would choose.

[@aliciaarcher]

Subversive I think holds the most iconic moments in one palette. They’re all so geeeeewwwd!!!

[@LisaCottnerTrepper]

I love seeing your love for Pat... I have them all as well. My husband made me quit buying them so he had ideas for gifts... Now I am waiting on a new Mothership LOL if it ever happens.. Love your passion and your nail polish ❤

Midnight Sun is definitely my favorite, as well! ✨🔥💥☀️💫

I love midnight sun. It's great for everyday looks when you just want a bit of something special. I also love mothership 1 and DR 1. I have DR2 and its My least reached form recently got moonlit seduction so playing with that at the moment.

[@aliciaarcher]

DR 2 is more punchy for sure, and Moonlit Seduction definitely has more subtlety to it.

[@shannantiffin8119]

I love your deep dives, breakdown and excitement over each palette...which gets me always so inspired❤

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you, Gabriela!!

[@loytoco]

You could sell a mothership to anybody, in my opinion. Divine Rose 2 was my first mothership. I then bought Midnight Sun after watching your videos. Midnight Sun may be the most versatile palette ever. I love it. It's just absolutely gorgeous and it serves you in any way you want. It's my favourite palette ut of all those I have, alongside Riviera by Dior. My next mothership will be Subversive. I am not getting eyeshadow at the moment, because I have enough and don't wanna be wasteful, but when I'll get Subversive sooner or later. I own 2 of the Christmas mega palettes and like them but, to me, nothing compares to a Mothership.

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you! You will love Subversive, and I think it will pair well with DR 2 and Midnight Sun!

[@loytoco]

@@aliciaarcher Thanks! I am sure I will! I thought I'd give you a heads up about the Eden Roc quint by Dior. Since you loved the fact that Midnight Sun actually represents the phenomenon, that palette also completely embraces the area and light at the Eden Roc hotel in France. Maybe look the hotel and its history up and then check the palette out, if that may interest you. Some similar tones to MS as well.

[@capuccino0075]

Wow ! The way you describe the palettes, the different colors and nuances, I love it. You’re a real artist, you have a really poetic vision. Your videos and advice are the reason I own all the mothership palettes. I remember the first time I wore a mothership eyeshadow at work, everyone, and I mean every single person I met, complimented me (I was like: what did I put on this morning? Oh yeah, Pat McGrath…). Even my patients we’re wowing me (I’m a doctor). Thank you so much, I loved this video !

[@Bodenesque]

Midnight Sun is my darling too, yes I love Subversive, but this just makes my heart sing!

[@amandapatterson1695]

Midnight sun and bronze seduction are my two favorite mothership palettes. ✌️

[@marytarpley6217]

Great video! I own all of the Mothership pallets and I just want to say thank you for your reviews and super in depth information and swatches of each and every pallet. I always look for your Pat videos before I make my purchase. Thank you again.

Thank you for the message, Mary! I appreciate it!

When you said the gradation….. I got all the feels! Love you Alicia!❤

I seem to recall combining green and gold for my (Australian) middle school recital moment. I could actually reimagine it with Midnight Sun, couldn’t I? 😂

[@aliciaarcher]

That you can!! 🙆🏽‍♀️

[@SarahB1133]

My firsts PMG palettes were Hutopian dream and Bronze 😁 I got them for sale, it was now or never :p and i love them so much, i just ordered the Moonlit seduction. I can't wait to receive it !😍

[@angyeliz]

Midnight sun has always been your favorite since it came out. I really need to get it.

[@aliciaarcher]

I love it beyond the stars 😮‍💨

[@madlovesu34]

Yes! I would say top 3 for me are Huetopian Dream, Midnight Sun, and Sublime. I feel like I gravitate to them most for my day to day.

[@ilsecontreras7467]

So glad you mentioned moonlit seduction, feel like everyone hates on it 😅 I love it

[@aliciaarcher]

I adore It 🙆🏽‍♀️ It’s so good, but you have to be willing to experiment and get in there. If you just take it for face value, then you’ll miss out!

WEEEEEEEE!!!

[@juliagutierrez7816]

I never get tired of talking about, or hearing about, Mothership palettes. Thank you for this!

[@anjulirivera9332]

I love watching your videos, because of you I took the plunge and picked up quite a few mothership palettes. My favorite hands down is Midnight Sun. Something about that palette just drool worthy.

[@earlgreyknits1178]

Goodness I love watching you geek out on makeup! 😊 your passion is infectious!

[@cai_nwa_ogu]

My favorite: 5. Subversive#3 4. Sublime #2 3. Bronze Seduction #5 2. Moonlit Seduction #10 1. Huetopian Dream #9 I have deep olive/nuetral skin tone and huetopian dream and moonlit seduction do amazing things for my skintone. Heutopian dreams has amazing versatility and i can wear it day and night; granted my skin is dark. But that coral matte has become an unlikely favorite for a warm transition shade for daytime looks to smoky eyes. Such an amazing palette. Once people finally get over it not being a rainbow palette they will be able to appreciate it fully. Moonlit seduction is such a technical and creative palette. Its the palette were people compliment you on your overall makeup not just specific eyeshadow colors. Its a red carpet palette. The magic lies in the choices in textures, finishes, and shadow bases. Its amazing and the shades are ver flattering for those with olive/ neutral skin tones or for people looking for a neutral ish palette that can take them from grunge to red carpet and back. 33:33 33:33 33:33

[@aliciaarcher]

Agreed about both! Moonlit Seduction is classic with a twist!

[@nightxnight]

Same!! Fellow Olive girl here and #9 and #10 are magic.

[@mayraholzer4542]

Thank you for the fun and informative video. I feel inspired to play with my Motherships!! also loved the sound effects :)

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you! 🤣 Sometimes when my vocabulary hits a wall, I have to use the voice box 😅

[@vinczemarti]

So thankful for all of these ideas on how and where to use each shade! Super helpful! 😊

[@tania9746]

thank you for your magical way at describing every palette for us. Love it

[@LindseyBedro]

Mothership X was the first mothership palette I wanted enough…to purchase on sale. Since then I’ve purchased 3 others (all on sale). My ranking: Mothership X, Midnight Sun, Bronze Seduction and Heutopian Dreams

[@aliciaarcher]

Huetopian Dream was in heavy contention with DR II, but if ranked, RIGHT before it 😂

[@sparklingsia7279]

I absolutely LOVE my Midnight sun as well… Its one of my Top 3 for sure. My least favourite is actually Bronze seduction, I just don’t reach for it that often… Didn’t really get the hype on that one. Can’t wait for your quad video❤🫶🏼🙌🏽 Thank you, agan, for your awesome content❤

[@JadesMom743]

Good video thanks much🎉 helps to choose one,we need a duo chrome/multi chrome fall, Pat McGrath, mothership palette 😃!

[@clareflatley2018]

Decided I want to splash out on a mothership, it's a big decision! Thanks so much for this, so helpful❤

[@juliette.j]

Midnight sun is my favorite also. I am Asian with pale olive skin and the color story just works for me. My second favorite is the first divine rose and then moonlit seduction.

[@jebl8888]

Would have never thought of purchasing MTHRSHP X before this, thanks! Looks like a nice addition with Natasha Denona's Glam (as cool-toned palettes).

[@VinDieselsWifey]

My top five are Bronze Seduction, Subversive, Subliminal, Divine Rose II, and Midnight Sun

[@aliciaarcher]

Love it!

[@ella3796]

Hi Alicia, I could watch you talk about PMG all dayyyy! I just want you to know that before watching you I did not own a single PMG product and now I have 8/10 Motherships haha

[@joanneleib5887]

I absolutely love your detailed videos. Thanks! Love that you swatch the colors,so helpful

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

I need to follow and swatch with you my mothership I have to is so much satisfaction ❤I enjoy swatches ❤

[@aliciaarcher]

Yes! It will be so much fun!!

[@cforgie4734]

As a super fair lady (lol!), I use Astral Solstice alllll the time! I pull it out and use it with almost all of my eyeshadow looks!

[@aliciaarcher]

It’s fantastic! It’s like the universal star dust shade 😭

[@stephaniec4766]

Just got my Moonlit Seduction today and this video is pumping me up, so excited to use it!!

[@aliciaarcher]

Woohoo!! I hope this helps!

[@SheriMorgan]

WOW WOW WOW!!! Thank you Alicia! I’m so saving this video for inspiration on top of picking up that Submersive palette!! Thank you so freaking much! Absolutely beautiful! Love&light from California 🤍💜

[@rebeccawainwright4515]

I waited til her latest sale, but this video convinced me to buy DR2, and I do NOT regret it! It’s formulation is beautiful as you said and the shades are gorgeous! It’s really perfect for fun summertime looks. Can’t wait for the reveal of Mothership XI tomorrow!

[@sarahgalatea]

It's so fun to watch you Alicia! You're lovely

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you, Sarah!!

[@JesusLopez-lj4hb]

Alicia!!!! Thanks for the video. I gots IX & I - and I juuust had to get III & VI with this current sale. They were the original two I wanted to get and I cannot wait to finally play with them. SO EXCITED!

[@Anne-MarieLeBlanc]

if i want to buy anything Pat Mcgrath i watch your video first! i love how u explain everything and i trust you! I do miss your friday night livestream...

[@aliciaarcher]

It’s been so long! It’s because I’ve become so particular about light exposure, that having a glamcor on high after 7pm isn’t an option anymore 😅

[@VenusNovember]

Midnight sun is still the top one for me as well

[@aliciaarcher]

Das It!!!

[@kayla4702]

Loved seeing these! I haven't tried PM yet, but I definitely have Midnight Sun and Divine Rose II on my wish list out of the mothership palettes. Thank you for sharing. I plan on doing a dive into your PM Playlist to find out more about them all though, of what I've missed. Not fully familiar with older collections of hers (from before last year), but I'm so intrigued. 😊❤

[@aliciaarcher]

We’ll definitely get into the older 6-pan palettes on the next list, but yes I have plenty to watch 😅

[@jebl8888]

You've come a long way for me (and I don't mean that to mean you weren't good before, this is just sooo pro! Your explanations, deep passion without being too much and detailed explanation of colors, textures and examples of combos, etc. are very helpful. I really enjoyed this video! It's been a while since I've been on YT listening to anyone about any palette, and this was worth my time today, Thank you!

[@evelinashteynberg9221]

Hi darling ❤. Absolutely in love with your in depth videos 📹 ❤️. Thank you 😊 😘 ❤️

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you, Evelina 🥰

[@ChiNYC1]

My top 5 list is so similar to yours. In no particular order: III: Subversive (gigabyte & night creature have my heart) VII: Divine rose I X: Moonlit seduction VI: Midnight sun X: Heutopian (or on another day VIII: divine rose II)

[@aliciaarcher]

Huetopian could be easily swapped with DR II for me. I had a hard time choosing between the two, but I just remember how much fun I had with DR II. Huetopian Dream isn’t too far behind!

[@bodey2693]

What a treat! Alicia talking about Pat McGrath always my favourite content😁

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you, friend!! 🙆🏽‍♀️💕

[@anishaebrahim6649]

Hi Alicia ! I really love your content ! I was hoping you could do a video on duo-chrome eyeshadows or palettes or techno chrome flakes that you could suggest ! Thank you so much and keep rocking ❤🥰❤️💜

[@Queenb.90]

Your enthusiasm for pml palettes just hyped me up!!! Im about to go play with my motherships 😂😍 thank you for such awesome videos!!

[@spaxton15]

Oh my goodness!! I LOVE this video! Your excitement and descriptions of the palettes just makes me so excited to use mine! Thanks for always being so amazing!!! I love your videos!

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you so much! I need to use mine more often, and I look forward to filming the next for the 6-pans!

[@SP-be6xl]

@@aliciaarcher Admittedly, I haven't been watching KZbin much - but this video is what I so so missed!! Your excitement and beautifully selected descriptions of the shadows - man, this is what I miss. I am so thankful for your channel and I hope to see more of these videos, because I sure do miss this excitement and just fun with shadows. I'm sort of tired of the new releases because we've seen it and we have it. It's like there's nothing new - even though there is new releases, we have it... I am not so much interested in the new releases anymore as I am for the excitement of the beauty we already have and how to use them!! Thank you so much. I hope to make it to NY sometime to maybe be able to meet you and give you a hug. I am in MD so it's not too far!! Def on the bucket list. I know you have critics, we all do - but you are amazing, don't let the crowd of critics be so loud that they make you forget how amazing you are.

[@christahodges]

Good afternoon Alicia! I absolutely love your Pat McGrath videos! Currently, only own are Sublime, Divine Rose II, and Moonlit Seduction. I'm slowly building my PM mothership collection 😁 Im only purchasing when they are on sale. Slow process, for sure😊

[@aliciaarcher]

Definitely take your time! Especially since Pat has a bunch of sales during the year!

[@CiciliaAHarun]

Love this, Alicia.❤ with updates tutorial please 😅

[@ineselarfa]

Thank you thank you for these video it is so easy now to understand what I really what. Sometimes it’s overwhelming with all those colors and choices since I am a minimal person but you made it so easy for me. I love your energy. Much love for your work and your passion.

[@aliciaarcher]

I’m happy this helped, Ines! Thank you for watching!

[@bethanybsoprano]

I love seeing Sublime get some love! I feel like people always rank it in the bottom half. It was my first mothership, and it's the perfect first mothership because you can create all kinds of looks and have those neutrals and some excitement still! It also looks good on everybody.

[@Dana-712FifthAve]

Thanks, hon, I’ve missed these!

[@aliciaarcher]

Hey Dana! And I’ll probably skip the Adept release, because all these Astral shades cover me and more.

[@Dana-712FifthAve]

@@aliciaarcher exactly!

[@thankful516]

I love my Sublime palette.. I swear I have panned most the colors in that one and probably need to buy it again. I use the green with mehron as an eye liner.. magnificent! I have also panned just about everything in my Bronze Seduction palette.. it has the most perfect neutrals - of course the Huetopia is another fave. You talk about moonlight seduction so much I am going to HAVE to buy it!

[@blendofdays]

I love you so much Alicia! I still don't own any pmg & I want to, but it's just not in the cards yet. If/when I do get to buy one of the motherships, it's either going to be midnight sun, moonlit seduction or huetopia. I'm leaning towards moonlit seduction for now. I just love watching you/your content Alicia 🫶

[@aliciaarcher]

Take your time! And with all the sales Pat has, it will be worth the wait!

[@ciclallisilva4441]

My favorite 5 are 1,3,6,8and 9

[@aliciaarcher]

Great list!

[@nydia7566]

I love alicia swatches because her nails are alwayss on point! ❤ I wouldnt mind to watch a full video of alicia speaking about her favorite holo topers and nail polish 👀👀💅

[@aliciaarcher]

My goodness! I need to see what’s in my collection, but the nail polish has gotten out of control 👀🤣

[@sarahgalatea]

I would love to see your top 5 quads from Pat! I have the Blitz Quads and they still inspire me and it gets me sooo happy!! Alicia, would you say that the Astral Gold Allure from Iconic Illumination has a similar power in shine compared to Astral Solstice? I always wondered that

[@aliciaarcher]

Yes, but it’s probably a touch warmer. Like, maybe more champagne!

[@sarahgalatea]

@@aliciaarcher Ohh, thank you Alicia!

[@makeupnmedicine]

I just ordered sublime and subliminal ( I think the palettes are #1 and #2?) and I am so excited to get them. They are so dang expensive they better be wonderful. I’ve only ever had Mac and colourpop eyeshadows so this should be next level…
