I was just wondering how you decide what eye shadows to put in your kit and what colors to use on clients. I have so many colors (which I all love) but makes it difficult to decide when packing my kit which colors to take. How do you decide? Any tips are very much appreciated!

Ask the client what she wears, what is her regular makeup look. How she likes the eyeshadow kind like that then you can decide what you should bring. Neutral colour always comes in handy or purple.

Try to pick a variety of different ones and stick with natural/light ones. Hope that helps!

It's best to offer free consultations, or take the price of her consultation off the total price , it gives you a chance to ask what she would like, and what kind of look she is trying to achieve to help you better decide what to bring.

Pick colors they like and that also compliment their skin tone.

I usually ask what look are they going for. Dramatic, Bold, Natural, Colorful, Balanced.
Then I ask them if there's any look in particular. A smokey eye, a colorful eye, a neutral eye, etc. if they don't have an answer or are too shy to say I ask what celebrity's make up they like.
I like to ask what their make up routine is and what products they use and if there is anything they prefer for me to do. I usually do just one eye and when I am finished that one eye I ask if they like it or not and anything they like to be changed. Remember it's all about them... Your personal choices should be kept personal because they're wearing it.

My question is not so much about makeup style, but more about the actual colors to use. I do all of the above. But say I know she wants purple/neutral whatever color it is. I have SO MAY of these colors, how do you decide which purple/browns to use? I have tons of Inglot, Makeup Atelier France (which are superb btw), UD, Mac. How do you decide WHICH purple/blue etc... to bring along and actually use on the client. thanks!

During the consult you should be able to get a feel for which colours of the shade she wants, and narrow it down to a few of each shade, depending on her skin tone, how much depth you want to add, you could also create pallets that are filled with different shades of one colour and bring those so you can decide as you go, try swatching a few colours on her , and deciding from there, and make sure you know what and where you want to go with each colour will make it much easier

Take her arm, right underneath her hand. And whatever area matches her face/eyes mostly, apply the shades there. You're swatching it, but you're swatching it on her arm. This is better because she can see how it'll look with her skin tone. Kind of like when you go shopping for lipsticks and you grab a bunch of reds per say in different shades, usually when you swatch them you can narrow it down to one.
