Since this is an eyeshadow collection and someone mentioned depotting, I got to wondering how many palettes I would need if I depotted all of my shadows. Hmmmm? I think I will count my shadows. The number will most likely be humourous and a bit horrifying all at once.

You want to know for the same reason I want to know. We have the MAC sickness. It leaves us susceptible to boughts of random eye shadow curiousities.

Strap on your seatbelt (all MAC listed below):

Shadows in the pot:

Greens: 42
Neutrals/highlight: 49
Purples: 47
Pinks: 49
Whites: 12
Yellows/Oranges/Golds: 33
Blues: 66
Browns: 63
Burgundies/Cranberries: 21
Blacks/Greys/Silvers: 36
Screw Tops: 16
MES: 21 (No palette-Can't depot)
Colour Theory: 9 (No palette-Too big)

Other MAC shadows:

38 quads = 152 shadows
31 palettes = 160 shadows (no palettes)
3 liquid shadows (No palette)
Solar Bits = 4 (No palette)
Metal X = 7 (No palette)
Pigments = 127 (No palette)

So...palette-able shadows = 586 and palettes needed = 39 (probably add 10 more for odd numbered colours as I like to palette colour families together) so 49 palettes.

Total shadows (palette-able and otherwise, including pigments): 917

Want to really be scared? Take that potted shadow number and third it. That is how many backups I probably have. Oh, scary fact #2....this isn't even counting my crapload of non-MAC shadows.

Oh God, I didn't even count Shadesticks, Paints or Paint Pots!

Eeeks.

I know. I kind of did the same thing!

I was then thinking that by the end of the year, I will probably be over 1,000 shadows. Frightening.

You know it took me about a half an hour to count all those out. My cat was staring at me the whole time like, "Woman, you are crazy!"
