This is such an amazing video! I love grungy palettes and I've never seen anyone actually analysing and showing this many of them! For me an absolute number 1 is Venus II by Lime Crime!

[nothingburger]

Thank you for making content like this that shows off interesting parts of your collection! It’s fascinating to see so many different color stories compared and contrasted, and more so to hear your take on the aesthetics of them.

[hayleylongster]

Lol ofc the palette video that most suits me is the one I watch the last 😄

(Maybe I was saving the best

I'm sure this will be my fave.
This has been a great series tho 👍

[lenac]

I love what you did with your fave shades in the Wilderness palette in the Kaleidos packaging!
I also love that this video is really long! I adore watching all about eyeshadow palettes.

Hi Maaike I don't think the grungy vibe is really my thing as far as most of these go. I love a smoky eye and have worn that look for most of my life. I did the goth thing in my late teens and I've genuinely been a rock chick/biker for the majority of my adult life. However the acidic yellows and swampy greens are not my vibe at all and there is a big difference between a grungy look and a smoky look. Smoky looks are easy to do on pale skin and for me are very cool toned looks eg grey, navy, dark teal, deep green, deep purples and even a dark taupe. Berry shades can be difficult to wear as an overall predominant colour, but can be a beautiful accent shade. Khaki type murky green is also something that's more of an accent colour for me. Antique golds work better than bright/warm golds, but they're still more of an accent shade for me. I'm never ever going to wear all those murky tones blended together and my smoky looks have a gradient/blended effect with some lightness/brightness - otherwise it looks like I have been punched in the eyes. I'm also someone who doesn't wear warm tones hardly at all and if I do it's very specific in placement/more of an accent or contrast. Maybe it's because I'm a bit older now and at 50 feel I need a softer daytime look, but my smoky eyes are reserved for evening/event makeup where I want that drama and the lighting isn't as bright. I'm never going to give up the black mascara and my eyeliner, but too much murkiness on the eye isn't flattering on me nowadays. I can still rock a smoky eye and do, but murky is a different thing entirely. However seeing the different palettes compared was interesting (as always) and I enjoy the viseart palette shown, but very few of these are something I would buy. Surprisingly what did catch my eye was the Melt millenial pinks palette and before this video Melt wasn't a brand I thought might work for me - their palettes are predominantly dark toned, or warm/bright. This one however is much lighter looking and I love greys with pinks. Best wishes.

fulfilling all my grungy dreams ❤❤❤😊😊😊. Great recs !

[ginaharold]

Thank you for telling me about Glamshop! I am placing an order for some the nine pan palettes that I want! Also, I tried ordering from Meesha Lou but all they have is the warm toned palette.

[leahmiranda]

I can't believe how fast this month has gone! I've loved everything you've posted. 💛
This video was a lot of work, and I thank you for it. It definitely seemed to be a labor of love for you....
Can't wait to see your entire collection! 😁

[d.m.]

You have such a great collection of grungy palettes! I want that fall magic palette so bad! I’m really thinking about it. I have never ordered indie makeup before. I want to try Melt too. I just haven’t found the right one. The palettes available are either too dark, too colorful or too warm……all things that make Melt Melt! 😂. Gemini 2 is most appealing to me.

[mariannemilkshines]

I was so happy to be able to Pick up the Muerte palette when it came back and I recently got the Arcana and Batty Beans palettes.

[jenniferfarris]

Such a fun video! I loved seeing all your examples. I need to analyze my collection now, ha ha!

[lolaphearse]

Thank you for reminding me of so many beautiful palettes I have, I will bring them out to use more!

[Brilliantnash]

Looks to me like you had a lot of fun filming this. Absolutely love me some grunge and love it even better when palettes are versatile enough to pull very different ways. Must admit I don't mind pulling in other palettes or singles to create a look.

[Jennifer_Ann]

I just subscribed to your channel and I’m loving all of your content. It’s fun to talk about makeup sometimes with fellow enthusiasts 😻

[elizabethreeves]

I'm panning the makeup rev dupe of the lorac Pro 2... I have 4 shades left 2 of which have pan... I saved my favourite shade for towards the end which is... the grungy green 😁😁

[xmodnbm]

I’m kinda sad Zoeva doesnt sell larger palettes anymore, they stopped before I got my hands on them. They might not be the most trendy palettes, but they seem to have been a solid budget option for neutrals + subtle color

[halcyonmoon]

I love grungy palettes

that said, I am glad the SGxT quintessence is dark and clear vs dark and murky because it's really easy to find grungy palettes but dark and clear is hard to find (imo)

also I feel like warm tones suit grunge well!

[slazary]

I don't really like the Kaleidos formula, so I might copy your idea and put some shades that I like in there cause the packaging is gorgeous!

[suzque]

I only have one grungy palette,
Ashley Strong Morphe. I haven’t even tried it . I have never worn grunge before so I worry about what I will look like in it.

[janetparson]

I'm thinking of buying nabla blush lola. I have acne prone skin. Does the blush show texture on your skin? Does the blush have a little bit of sheen or alot of shimmer. Is the tower 28 blush happy hour close to nabla lola?
