Hi there. My name's Ash and I like to make fun little eyeshadow palettes in my limited free time. I made this one at 11:30 PM, after deciding that I could be more productive while avoiding going to bed (as opposed to simply doom scrolling through YouTube shorts).
One of my favorite things about color is how some contrast, yet compliment one another, and finding ways to bring those contrasting colors together in one palette. In this case, pastel green and bubblegum pink. Both are soft, bright colors at opposite sides of the color wheel. The somewhat muted, indigo-leaning blues sit in between pink and green, which I thought gave them an interesting way to connect.
And, yes, I could have used yellow. I tried putting yellow in, but it began to feel to close to a rainbow palette, so I instead opted for a matte white and an iridescent glitter with a white/clear base color. The matte white felt more versatile and, I feel, highlights the colors around it, instead of competing with them like the yellow did.
As for the metallics, I decided to go with a light green duochrome metallic that has a more subtle pink shift, a white duochrome with a really strong pink shift (also, the base color essentially disappears when applied, so it comes off more like a sheer metallic pink), and a multichrome that shifts pink, purple, blue, and green. In retrospect, the multichrome and green duochrome are probably too similar to warrant them being in the same palette, especially with how small it is, but I liked having a metallic with some blue in it without being a blue metallic. The glitter also adds an extra hint of blue.
(I have a slight tremor in my hands, and it apparently didn't like how I was trying to get a straight on picture of the palette. Apologies for the blurriness.)
Eyeshadows from top to bottom, left to right:
Flipper - Menagerie Cosmetics Pastel Pup palette
Firefly - Kaleidos Club Nebula palette
Lovesick - Beauty Bay Pastels palette
Ceres - Lethal Cosmetics multichrome
Cream and Sugar - Blend Bunny Blends palette
Pretend - Blend Bunny The Dollhouse palette
Void - Kaleidos Club Nebula palette
Deep - Beauty Bay Sunset Horizons palette
All Aura Again - ColourPop In A Trance palette
(Also, I do intend to repan my Lethal Cosmetics eyeshadow, so it won't stick out like a sore thumb in these palettes. I just haven't had time to get around to it yet.)

fuck the clean girl aesthetic.
I’m going for the 21 year old single mother of 2 in the 90s, that lives in a small flat complex, wears blue eyeshadow, smudged black eyeliner, and red nail polish, smokes Marlboro cigarettes, wears hair rollers all day, big hoop earrings, tramp stamp tattoo, low rise jeans, loves anything with leopard print, listens to Britney Spears and Madonna, and pours a shot of Vodka in her morning coffee

Is it too early to be thinking about Halloween? Probably
Do I care? Not in the slightest! 😂
I decided to do a quick makeup test for Morticia yesterday now that I have all of the main pieces in (Amazon lace front wig, whose lace will be trimmed back and Thredup dress). Once I finish my current project, I'm going to add a bunch of fun details and things to the dress that I'm pretty excited about 😍
(I'm thinking of combining some things and taking inspiration from Hannah Alexander, the original 60s tv show, the 90s movies with Angelica Huston as well as the musical)

*screaming from the rooftops* I love trans people who don’t “pass” and don’t care about passing!!
I love trans guys who like showing off their tits. I love trans girls who don’t shave their body or facial hair. I love nonbinary people who don’t care about looking “androgynous”. I love trans girls with deep voices and trans guys with high voices. I love short trans guys and tall trans girls that walk around in high heels so they can be even taller. I love trans girls that don’t tuck. I love trans guys with long hair. I love trans guys who like dressing feminine and wearing makeup. I love trans girls who like dressing masculine and flexing their muscles. I love trans girls that don’t look like a ‘traditional woman’ and I love trans guys that don’t look like a ‘traditional man’. I love nonbinary people that don’t feel the need to change anything about their appearance. I love trans people who keep their birth names, even if they’re not gender-neutral. I love nonbinary people who don’t fit into the mold of ‘skinny, white AFAB who dresses semi-masc’.
I love trans people who don’t give a shit about conforming to the cisgender binary in order to be seen as “real”. I love trans people whose very existence is confusing to cis people. I love trans people that can’t be easily categorized and don’t want to be. I love trans people who make a statement just by walking down the street, and I love trans people that aren’t trying to make a statement because they’re just trying to fucking live as themselves!! I love trans people!!!
