Turns Out, You Don’t Need That 12th Palette

As a makeup artist, here’s a hot take you won’t hear in Sephora: eyeshadow is optional. Yep, I said it. Most people don’t need five shades on the lid to look good. What they do need is smart structure—maybe a little depth in the crease, a lift at the outer corner, done. It’s not about the color. It’s about the shape. But do I still love eyeshadow? Deeply. Obsessively. The textures, the color stories, the sheer drama of opening a new palette—it’s an art form. And on some days, painting lids feels like therapy with glitter. Still, I’ve cried over eyeshadow. Not because of bad blending—because of my bank account. Turns out, creativity isn’t in the buying. It’s in the using. So here’s your friendly PSA from a pro: love your palettes. But maybe stop collecting them like Pokémon. Welcome to my eyeshadow breakdown zone. You’re in good (blending) hands. #beauty #makeup #LessIsMore

Now I just focus on: Daily sunscreen ☀️ A gentle retinol ✨ A solid moisturizer 💧 That’s it. Keeping my routine simple and consistent cleared up so many of the issues I used to stress about. Sometimes, less really is more when it comes to skincare. Just wanted to share this reminder in case anyone else needed to hear it! What’s the ONE thing that made the biggest difference in your skin?
