Pat McGrath Divine Rose palette

I love eyeshadow palettes - I love the color stories, packaging, the feel of the shadows, & the performance of the shadows. I love the inspiration and creativity that can be driven from an eyeshadow palette. And I can say with confidence that Pat McGrath Labs is #2 on my list of favorite eyeshadow formula on the market. If you’re into makeup and don’t know who Pat McGrath is, then please, just stop here. Pat McGrath is a world renowned artist who is famous for creating trends on the catwalk of fashion shows. She has worked with some of the biggest names in the fashion world. And now she is making a name for herself as a creator with her brand Pat McGrath Labs. Her products deliver quality, through & through. From the packaging, to the component, to the product / formula itself - you can feel the love and passion behind it all. This is my first Mothership palette from her brand and I am so happy it is this one. The color story is absolutely stunning - it is the duo chrome shades that are the real stars of the show though. The way they shift in the light & how reflective they are is truly breathtaking. The matters are not to be forgotten about though - they are some of the creamiest and most pigmented mattes I have ever felt & worked with. The shadows literally blend out themselves. The level of quality that she delivers makes makeup be easy - no matter what your level of experience is. I think what turns off people at face value about Pat McGrath Labs’ products is definitely the price point. And hey, I hear ya - $125 is definitely a lot of money to drop on one product. BUT - you need to ask yourself: would you rather spend $125 on a solid, beautiful product, or $125 on two $60 mediocre palettes? PAT McGRATH LABS - Mothership VII Eyeshadow Palette
