As much as I DREAM of disappearing into my bathroom – surrounding myself with unspeakably expensive coloured makeup powders, shadows, primers and brushes; individually opening up every single eye shadow pot; spending HOURS mixing, blending, sweeping, sprinkling, sashaying to my heart’s content –

I face the reality of my life – I’m a mother and there are children banging on the door.

However, it’s not an excuse to turn up to an event looking crap!

These are my favourite of favourites makeup colour palettes –

Bobbi Brown Velvet Plum Metallics

MAC Smoking Eyes : Shadow X 4

Revlon ColorStay Quads - Nude Elements

Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Duo

Fresh Bloom Allover Colour

Shu Uemura Golden Summer Pressed Eye Shadow Palette
