In April 2019 I chose five eyeshadows with a randomizer app that I'd use consistently until hitting pan. As I hit pan, I roll those shadows out and randomly choose others to replace them. Over the past month, I've had two eyeshadow looks I bounce back and forth between - super orange and super neutral. Once we get into the five eyeshadows I had to work with, you'll see why.
1) "Naked" from Urban Decay Naked
2) "Toasted" from Urban Decay Naked
3) "Burnt Orange" from Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam
4) "Chauffeur" from Colourpop Yes Please
5) the "definer" shade on the left side of Wet n Wild Comfort Zone
1) "Naked" - The saga continues. This lives here now.
2) "Toasted" - I think the dip is getting deeper? This was the lid shade for the neutral look, and I'm still enjoying this.
3) "Burnt Orange" - Why is this still here? Everyone who talks about how easy it is to pan ABH shadows - that has not been my experience with this shade. That being said, I've been more aggressive about using this shade this past month. I started using a more pointed, thicker brush to apply this to my crease and outer corner, so hopefully I'll start making quicker progress on this.
4) "Chauffeur" - In the pan and in a swatch, this looks like a ridiculous bright orange, and I was not ready for this. However, when I use a brush to apply it to my eyelid, it looks more like a gold-orange, and paired really nicely with "Burnt Orange." I may get sick of using this, but for now I'm pretty happy with it.
5) Left side "definer" - as a darker shadow, this fell into the category of shadows I would roll in for only one month at a time. I focused on the "D" area, but there's little to no progress to show. I'm glad I got to get this palette out, but am ready to not need to use this shade. It shows up black/gray on the eye, not sparkly brown, so meh.
Since I was able to cycle out the "definer" shade, I got to randomly choose another shade to add in. And I promise it was random. I got "Sin" from the Urban Decay Naked palette. Which you can see in the update picture for "Naked" but I'll put the photo below so you don't have to scroll.
I guess I know what shade is going in my inner corner for the rest of my life.
Since this is the third shade from the same palette, I randomized a few more times just to see what I would get. I randomly chose "Orange Soda" from Soft Glam, then "Champs" from Yes Please, and finally "Sweetheart" from Tartelette in Bloom before I gave up. The universe knows what it wants, apparently.
Here's the family photo of this coming month:

I did also hit a bonus pan this past month! I've been using "Tempera" from ABH Soft Glam to set my eyeshadow primer each day. Since hitting pan on this one, I've moved on to "Full Zip" in Yes Please (just to have some consistent use on something while this palette is in the project).
