Use Your Expensive Makeup!! 3 Looks 1 Palette - Pat McGrath Mothership V: Bronze Seduction

[@Sweetgotham]

One of my closest friends is a very well-cultured European who taught me, among other things, that champagne was for everyday and it really changed my mindset (along with Marie Kondo) about using the special and wonderful things in our lives all the time. I gladly wear my luxury makeup everyday, even to run basic errands, and I feel great doing it!

[@honeybellE24]

Jessica Cole what else has she taught you?? Sounds like a really good out look in life.

[@Sweetgotham]

[@LeeLee-vy1bq]

Hell ya!

[@YaiunicUP]

This is honestly the sentiment I have. You already bought it, and no matter what it's gonna last, so the uses are arguably free. Edit: reformatted a clause for better clarity

[@TheEtherny]

I'm trying to use this palette for everyday just to justify the spending, it's pretty versatile, I find even the more out there shades work, I can use it them more casually than I can use juvia's place, cause those are so vibrant, I seem like I'm going to a festival or something lol

[@bags_books_and_bowwows]

Love this concept! If the panning community has taught us one thing, it’s that it takes a lot of effort to use up products. So why save those luxury purchases for a special occasion, when all it means is more left when they’re finally too old to use? Plus, even through the course of this video you were learning how best to work with the specific formulas, so the more you dig into this palette, the more likely you are to bust it out for a special occasion and be really happy with the look you create.

[@blackathena1565]

I love this idea of USING the palettes instead of saving it for a "special" day. I've been enjoying the eye looks in your recent videos so I'm happy to see this one finally go up! I say, use the glitter shade - you already have it and you can't take it back now. As long as you don't buy any glitter in the future I think you're good!

[@adoptdontshop6283]

I dont think you should get rid of your palette ! You spent your hard earned money on it. Like you said maybe just dont use the amber shade and if you do just dispose of it responsibly ☺

[@spinstercatlady]

Absolute beautiful look, you're so creative! As far as the glitter goes, the palette is already made and you've already purchased it so I can't see what purpose it would serve to get rid of it. You've let your viewers know that it IS a plastic glitter, so everyone can make their own decision at this point 🤷‍♀️

[@madscientistbell]

I love how zoomed in you are for your tutorials. It makes it easier to see what you are actually doing. I don't have the palette but your looks have inspired some ideas for me.

[@JubileeChiu]

I sold the only PMG palette I ever bought after a few months of owning but never even touching it because it felt too ~precious~ to ruin!! I plan on buying the PMGXStar Wars red packaging 6-pan palette and actually using it. This video has encouraged me to use my more expensive makeup! I love these looks, especially the purple-green one 🤤

[@emlee1176]

Lol I thought I was just crazy. I have two pat mcgraths and just stare at them on my counter like “oh I love them so much” and never use them. Definitely need to use them!

[@lisanadile4688]

I recently had a heart attack at 51 and nearly died. It was out of the blue and stress induced, and I don't know how much time I have left. I learned many things, but I'd like to encourage everyone to use the "good" dishes, the "only for company" hand towels, the "holy grail" and luxe makeup. You deserve it, and the time to enjoy them is NOW. Sorry for the unasked for advice.

[@justrose6978]

Advise away! So happy you made it through. Loving thoughts headed your way.✨💖✨

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Hope you will be alright in the future..my late mum used to save all these nightie and pajamas for " going to hospital" ...unfortunately she never got to wear any of them as she passed away too quickly at the time ... I use my good things all the time now as you may as well enjoy what you have.

[@shaylaatiles]

Yes!! I never understood why people splurge on an expensive palette, just to use it on special occasions because they’re afraid of using it all up. One, you’ll most likely never finish an entire palette. And two, even if you did, you know you definitely got your money’s worth! Win-win.

[@nataliamaroldo5814]

You are still disposing of the thing that has the glitter- the damage is kind of already done. I think the best and least wasteful solution in this case would be to discontinue any future purchases with plastic glitter, not necessarily disposing of everything in your collection that contains it. :)

[@orianarojas4473]

i agree, she should not get rid of it! why waste something that you love? you already paid for it.

[@sydney58279]

Because washing the glitter down the drain hasn’t happened yet until it’s worn. Watch her glitter video.

[@bundrum10]

She also doesn't want to promote or give any advertising to a product that has plastic glitter

[@Creamy_Goodness]

There is a difference between disposing it as garbage (or unrecyclable) and then just washing it into the water and getting the micro plastics straight into the ocean....

[@Artliker1234]

Is there a way to take off glitter and be conscious of the environment? Because how would disposing it be more conscious of the environment

[@tarasaxby4387]

I’ve gotten hard pan a lot with the mattes in this palette. If you take some tape to it the hard pan does go away. Love this video!

[@jessicawhite3893]

I bought that palette as my first high end expensive af splurge when it came out. I was mad at myself and haven't even touched it all this time cuz as soon as I opened it I liked it but I had no idea how to use the colors. I'm sooo glad you showed us your 3 looks as you've inspired me to actually use it now. I like how you went into detail about application. Thanks so much!

[@jbbej428]

Jessica White there is a lady on KZbin called Kinkysweat, she has done many looks using all of Patmcgraths palettes . I think you will get a lot inspiration on the palette.

[@jessicawhite3893]

@@jbbej428 hi and thank you so much!

[@idreamofparis7233]

I applaud you for trying to not use makeup with the plastic glitter. It can be challenging when you think of how prolific plastic is in our lives. I recently stopped using trash bags and found a reusable bags that can be washed. I’ve also decided to remove plastic soap bottles.

[@SLashafrass]

Love how you describe infusing the color into the brush. Great detail most wouldn't think about. Just got this pallet so thanks for the hot tips! 😉

[@myburritobaby]

I bought this palette too but ended up returning it because I just didn’t reach for it. I liked the colors enough and it wasn’t “saving it” I just wasn’t drawn to it at all which was so sad. I really wanted to love it

[@stwberrymilk]

I feel the same way as like reserving certain pallets for certain occasions 😂 but you’re looks are stunning.

[@ashleyh1075]

Great video! So- if you decide to go on camera with this palette again, I would love to see you try and recreate some of pat’s tutorials in the techniques she uses. I can’t for the life of me copy it

[@melaniedavis6989]

I'm totally with you on this. I don't have the Pat McGrath palettes but I do have other EXPENSIVE palettes, and yes, I "save them for best", which in truth means "they rarely get used". What a waste of money!! So I'm joining you...I'm going to be using my expensive AF make up alongside my daily stuff...mix it up girl!! Love the colour of your jacket 😍 but I would sweat to death wearing it I think. Merry Christmas! 🎅

[@daryam.5647]

the way you use colours is super inspiring for me to use my palettes in different ways! your content is currently some of the best on beauty youtube truly, thank you

[@nisrinarnouk4373]

Keep the palette and use it! It’s been made and bought so the options now are you use it, someone else uses it or it gets thrown in the trash. If anyone is going to use it, it may as well be you the person who bought it!

[@AthaliahOpus]

please, quit apologizing for thinking that you are whining. Your not. Your amazing for spending your time with others here.

[@emilymorton1621]

In terms of the blendability of Pat McGrath matte shadows a senario that epitomises this is the other day when I used the dark brown from the divine rose on my outer corner and screwed up my placement and thought it would take ages to make it look good but it blended seamlessly and quickly and I was stunned by how easy and foolproof it was. In love with my palette! 😍🥰

[@merrilax1]

Re: the pewter brown, I felt pretty similarly to you (and still sort of do), but - also like you! - resolved to use this palette for more than just weddings and special occasions a few weeks back. In my opinion, it’s one of the most “work friendly” glitter shades in the palette. Like, I can’t show up to the office for client meetings with crimson eyeshadow on my eyes; however, if I’m mixing the two matte browns and using pewter brown to subtly zing up the look, it doesn’t look too bad (think something similar to your halo eye). I loved the theme of this video, so thank you! And I’ll def be experimenting with that second look for an upcoming event!

[@StephTho]

U are blending queen!!! Looks beautiful.

[@Amyleonhardt947]

Don’t beat yourself up about it! You are doing a good job bringing awareness to this issue, but it’s also already purchased. Enjoy!

[@lydiam9836]

I am loving your content since you filmed the glitter video! I had never even considered microplastics in my makeup besides loose glitter. It had made me think more about my makeup collection and do some googling as to what is micro-plastic free! It has however led me to find out that highlighters can have microplastics in them too. This may break your heart (as it does mine) that, from what I have found out, I think Becca uses Nylon & Polyethylene in their highlighters *commence ugly crying* It makes me very sad to share this info with you :( but bottom line is that you're amazing for trying to reduce your microplastic consumption and have inspired me to do the same! xxx

[@lauraerowl]

Lol, I was so worried for you when starting out with that dark purple... but oh wait, she has SKILLS!

[@203azzopardi9]

Ffs glitter in this too! D: Love the looks though, don't get rid of the palette or depot it, it's so beautiful, just scowl at the one shade daily and hopefully glitter will get the message.

[@macannaud]

Very helpful video - I have this pallete and literally never use it, but now that you’ve given me ideas for easy daily looks so I may pull it out and give it another go. New to your channel- glad I found you!

[@OceansTreasure]

Omg idk why I never would’ve thought to use green and purple together cuz it sounds like it would be a mess but it’s such a gorgeous color combo with in this palette and gives me goth witch vibes👌🏻 can’t wait to recreate ty!!!

[@alishamarie3777]

Love the looks and how well you explained them. Never realized how hard the glitter thing would be

[@mandles.]

your tutorials are the only ones i really watch these days! and i dont even wear eye shadow! haha theres just something so satisfy about watching how well you apply the shadows and how amazing the looks turn out in the end!

[@AdventuresWithCarissa]

I don't have any expensive palettes, but I love your makeup looks so can't wait to see what Beautiful Looks you are going to do today. 😃

[@rachelhobbs6189]

I totally agree, I bought a PMG palette because I thought I could use it along with the rest of my collection for my everyday makeup use because that lets me justify the price I spent on the makeup (haha)-one thing that I love is that the PMG eyeshadows are so interesting that it has forced me to be more interesting with my everyday makeup! I’ve challenged myself to wear some color (which I never used to do) to use of some of the shades like the olive green. Now my makeup is something that I wear for self expression and I’m not wearing it for other people as much

[@samanthareed4185]

I complete agree w you on the topey shade in the palette, I feel it doesn’t have great pigment, has a weird texture, builds up weird, and gets hard pan super easy. I have to scrap off the top layer every time I go into use it. The look you created is beautiful on you!

[@mymagicemily]

K for real I need the deets on that jacket/sweater thing asap because I'm living for it.

[@garza2margarita]

Lol Me toooo!!! 😍 its absolutely amazing!!

[@pamelaseithel8057]

Oh Lauren.... I am a Nurse for over 25 + years , when I worked in the ER, I took care of a 28 year old girl and she came in with a copious amount of eye makeup on and she had been crying so it was all down her face and it had a lot of shimmer. She kept saying " My eye, my eye it was her left eye it was very red and blood shot. The ER Doctor looked at her eyes with a special lamp and she had a pretty severe corneal abrasion in her left eye and a small one in her right eye. This is a very painful condition she was given numbing eye drops and some pain medication and had to follow up with an Opthamologist ASAP. I think it is very brave of you that your spreading the word about glitter being potentially harmful .

[@MsAdrammelech]

I like duping your looks with my shadows and it is fun to try out if I can get the same result.

[@carolinemercer9779]

I agree, that pewter color is weird- I’ve always thought it could make a really pretty look but it never performs the way I want it to? It’s a weird one

[@carriesmith4308]

I agree thats the only shade in the palette I dont care for

[@pantherwest3369]

The shimmery browns in my palette don't get much love either. The halo eye look came out absolutely gorgeous, and I really like the combination of the aubergine and the green shimmer - will have to try that one out myself.

[@dawncl8409]

I don't know why but I've been so tempted to try a Pat McGrath palette lately. I almost got one with some LuxeTrance lipsticks when those were $10 Cyber Monday... but then I let it pass. I'm trying to spend my money on more indies & I feel like I could dupe that purple & duochrome green look - which is gorgeous! - with what I have.

[@monicavelasco845]

I love your tutorial, please make more easy and simples looks with Mother ship palettes! 🥰

[@sevenoctobers7471]

They all look good!! Purple shades/formulas are notorious for being a bit finicky. I get strong pre-fall Chloe vibes from the last one. The second one looks like something that Pat or her team would come up with and the first one is just so so unquestionably pretty.

[@TheAshleybruno]

I love this palette; and this series idea.

[@lllouiser]

Came here from your favourites revisited video because that purple and green look is STUNNING!

[@baddie1shoe]

Thank you for the tutorials. It really shows how you can have fun and try different combinations and experiment-and it’s ok. I like when you use darker and more experimental looks.

[@sollinsnayadennis181]

Thank you for this video, I have this palette and honestly find myself doing the same boring look over and over, so Im going to try now this fun looks you did to get the most out of my palette!

[@megnix10]

Thanks for making this video! I have this palette but I feel like I never use it bc it's a "special occasion" palette, but i wanna use it bc i spent coin on it. I loved your looks, so thanks for the inspiration

[@lisanguyen869]

Yessss, more everyday looks!!! Thank you so much

[@bobettemccann8497]

Thank you for uploading!! Mine is coming in the mail today and I'm so excited for it

[@pamelaseithel8057]

Lauren, I forgot to mention that some, not all glitter glue is safe for use around the eye area. There should be a disclaimer on the packaging or tube, many of them say for use on the skin but say nothing about the eye area. Something to be mindful about using.

[@skomix8346]

Waiting for this palette on the mail and you made me realize how many things I can do with it!!! I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

I think the tiny lil brush you used in the 2nd look is from the dose of colors palette

[@itslikehistory]

If anyone has the Fenty galaxy palette I think it has a similar aesthetic to some of the PMG shades, a good palette for recreating some of these looks.

[@rv7788]

[@amydement.]

I LOVE ❤️ this! YES - Please let’s use the GOOD stuff!

[@tashaa7251]

Love these looks ❤️❤️

[@tdsollog]

I love all the looks you made, even though I don’t own this palette.

[@MilwaukeeWoman]

I'm wondering if the best thing to do with plastic glitter that we already own wouldn't be to use it in a craft or permanent decoration. I have a small amount of resin crafting supplies and once the glitter gets encapsulated in resin then it never comes back out to get into the water. It's probably best to never but it, but at least this way the glitter is contained and it's not just enjoyed once.

[@JessieBanana]

It's particularly sad cause I think it's the only Mothership palette with glitter and that particular shade isn't extraordinarily glittery or shimmery compared to her other shades which are mostly made with mica and synthetic mica. I am personally keeping mine, but I do hopes she continues to use mica in the future and it's just a blip.

[@lubazak636]

Great looks and ideas. Thanks.

[@kaystarlo]

[@justsiobhan1658]

I have the same problem with the purple in my bronze seduction too....it is so hard and dry...and is not improving over time...I thought I was the only one!

[@MsAntigonaki]

I love this! These looks are great. Plus, the more you pay for something, the more you need to use it to make it worth your coin.

[@Draculiana]

Don't depot the palette, the mattes will crack and the special shades don't have a regular pan (they seem to be baked onto a plastick backing). I think the best is to just ignore that shade, i don't even use it because it fells gritty and not as nice and smooth as other eyeshadows she has.

[@Michelle-il2cf]

You already bought the makeup, whether you throw it in the landfill or use it, it goes into the environment, right? I guess I don't know how to dispose responsibly ?

You already bought the Palette, you might as well use the glitter. It’s already out in the world.🤷🏽‍♀️

[@mirageprincess2768]

I would keep the palette as it is even though you don’t like that one shade has the glitter. We know you’re trying not to use plastic glitter anymore but don’t be too hard on yourself. You don’t have to do everything perfectly immediately. Somehow nowadays that’s expected, but I think it’s already great even if you aren’t doing things ‘perfectly’. Just remove the glittery shade in a way where you don’t flush it through the sink and if you were to buy another pat mcgrath palette in the future check for the glitter. Making the effort todo better is what matters, doing it perfect isn’t and comes with time I guess.
