When you get a new pallet or single how many times do you give a shade a try before you feel like you know you like it or that you probably won’t use it again? I was kinda curious how many chances people usually give a shade.

    If we are talking about a single shade in the palette, not the whole palette, then my answer is 1. If I did not like it, I will be wasting time on a nasty shade, when I could use something I like instead. Makeup expires, eyeshadows may change over time, better to use what I love. But usually I forget that I did not like something, and a year or so later I may try these shades again.

    If we are talking about a single eyeshadow - several times. I sometimes buy singles to try an eyeshadow formula of a different brand, and I want to form my opinion on it, to understand whether I should buy from them again or not.

    Regarding a palette - it depends. But I would try to use it at least a few times before deciding whether I like it.
