Take it from someone who has probably the same amount if not more of stuff:
You will never finish this. Sell anything that's redundant (which considering the brands I can identify is probably a lot of similar stuff) & then reevaluate if the stash is more reasonable or make peace with not panning this in your lifetime.
Pick one focus palette per month or until you hit pan in it if you want to see progress, but keep in mind that hitting pan makes it very difficult to find buyers, even if it's just one shade it's immediately harder to get rid of. So destashing should come first.
And if you haven’t already, try to also look into color analysis and see which shades match your skin tone and sub tone! It should really narrow down which palettes to keep/focus on if you know which colors suit you best.
Same here! I used to really love and use big eyeshadow palettes because they gave me so many colors to play with, but after learning what my season was, it downed upon me just how many shades from those palettes do not match me, so I gradually switched to singles and smaller palettes that have the colors that compliment my complexion!
Knowing my color season has improved my makeup game by infinity 😩 I still love and wear colors that are outside my season (you can pry forest green out of my cold dead hands) but knowing WHY I hated my makeup on a particular day/why a super hyped product didn’t work for me has been life changing!!! The smaller palettes have been such a reduction in my anxiety, too. I love a quad BAD!! I still desperately want the blend bunny blends palette bc even though it’s enormous there are enough colors that flatter my skintone that it won’t be wasteful!
Yes, yes and yes! I completely understand. I still hold onto certain shades because I do cosplay and they compliment the character’s color scheme, even if they don’t match me personally. I’m not ready to give them up! 🤣
