How Many Eyeshadows Do You Use In One Look

So I was watching a video on YouTube (Makeup Just For Fun), it was a review for Urban Decay's Naked Palette (the purple one). The reviewer was doing a tutorial, I wasn't counting, but she must have used at least five of the shadows or more. It looked really good, I know I would never be able to duplicate that look myself. My limit is using three shadows, most of the time it's only two.

Generally, two.  

 

Five shadows is just trying too hard, IMO.

I am 70 years old.  I am not going to use 5 colors of shadow on my eyes.  I very seldom wear it but when I do it is a light swipe and I am done.  If I were in my 20's it would possibly be a different story but I never liked a really made up look.  Eye shadow using 4 or 5 colors is for night wear.

I just got that palette and used it yesterday.  I used 5 shadows but only because I'd been watching YT videos on it Smiley Happy  I usually use 3.

2-3 ...   I use one on the lid and 1-2 in the crease.  Since I'm working from home it's ususally just  2 ....

For a Sunday look 4-5.  For casual probably 2.  I'm 62.

@monicakm how do you like the palette? I was looking at it, but I don't know if it's for me.

@monicakm   What are your thoughts on this palette? I have green eyes and love a purple eyelook. 😊
