How do you sort your eyeshadows?

[GlamQueen21]

Right now, my first palette is all mixed up and I should sort them by color family soon and I will do pinks/corals, purples, blues, greens/teals, oranges/yellow/golds, blacks/greys/silvers, browns/neutrals and highlighters. I might do a palette that has all of the Starflash e/s so that I can keep them separate from the other e/s.

Sidenote, I do label the bottoms of all my pans somewhat detailed, only when its been depotted because the vast majority of my perm shadows are propans. Color name, collection, and if it is LE, Perm but in perhaps a quad from a collection, or Pro and was too lazy to just go buy the refill from Pro nline and it was available at my freestanding.

::raises hand:: gradient - check, labeled - check, unlabeled lid - check...

For depots, I take the color sticker label from the box and put it on the bottom of the magnet. For some reason I have kept the stickers from the pot too but am not doing anything with them at the moment. And finally in my last bit of obsessiveness, I print out a shadow cover sheet thing on vellum listing the color, finish & manufacture code (ie. Blue Flame, Veluxe Pearl, A18). OTT? I'll have to dig out a picture I have somewhere.

I have a modest collection but right now I like to have a few quads where the e/s compliment go well with each other. And for my palette I go by colour but also keep my mattes grouped separately.

^ I really like the idea of sorting by color family/texture.

Here's a few pics of one of my palettes:

i used to keep mine in their pots but about 6 months ago i decided to start depotting so i could keep track of them a bit better! i have 2 mac palettes and 4 quads (plus a spare 15 palette)

in the quads i have a highlighter quad, purples quad, greens quad and blues quad. these have the 4 faves of each stated colour group in them!

then in one of my 15 palette is is neautrals - browns, golds, highlights as well as silver, black and yellow.

then in my other it makes sence to me but is probs jumbled to others! the top row is greens, then second row is teals and then the last row is purples and pinks

I only have 2 mac eyeshadow palettes, neutrals and bright colors. I don't think it's necessary to have more than 2!! (or at least for now, lol).

And I only have one blush palette, cause I prefer NARS blushes more than MACs.

I go by rainbow right now, but once I incorporate more mattes in.. I'm thinking I might seperate matte vs. anything with shimmer or glitter.
