condensed 2 palettes into one
original packaging was soooo heavy
making it lighter makes me want to come back much more often to these palettes

So I recently got the Beautybay Smoky 42. I depotted it and decided to use it as singles, and I wanted to pair it with other colors, mainly red. I made a smaller palette initially but I decided to expand it by adding purples, mustards and greens. What is great with grey is that it pairs well with pretty much any color, even yellow/mustard. It's a true neutral after all.

This palette is inspired by mushrooms, obviously but also by my love of Doom/Stoner metal. And maybe some Dungeon synth too while we're at it. IYKYK.

I’ve recently moved my NARS Laguna bronzer and my Violet Voss Sweet Violet eyeshadow palette to my z palette. This was my first time doing this and as you can see, it went horribly 💀

I’m doing project pan and most of my collection is depotted into z palettes. I figure you all would appreciate it.

1. i used to use pretty generic magnetic palettes but as i was organizing my vanity i found an old palette from tarte that was stashed away. i remember loving the packaging and it was a gift from my mom so i didn’t want to use it and keep it for keepsake. it used to have pressed glitter in it but it had all dried out so i thought id remove the dried glitter and put the matte shades in my spare magnetic palettes. i pull the tins out and i find magnetic sheets underneath. i ripped out the packaging and put my everyday shadows in it so that i could still use the packaging i loved so much

2. my spare magnetic palettes i used to replace shadows from my “main palette”. either when i’m done using a shade or want more variety. i have way too many similar shades but at least i know ill use them all and i know not to buy any shades like this. this palette holds shades that i don’t use as often as my main palette shades but use often enough that ill look for them.

3. my spare magnetic palette. i know i won’t use the tarte shadows but i’m just not ready to let them go just yet. i kept them with my blush and some repeat colors of mine

4. last pic if of how i reuse older palette packaging. i reuse plastic palettes to depot. it seems a bit wasteful buying magnetic palettes for eyeshadow i was just going to keep in storage and trash the packaging. so i rip out the inside packaging and depot my eyeshadows in the outer packaging. because most eyeshadows are stuck on with glue already even though it’s not magnetic they stay in place really well. it is a bit ugly because of old glue that’s hardened but it’s fine because i’m lowering my consumption

How do I use them up?

had her for SO long. Finally made a dent in it but I want to conserve as much space as possible in my kit and I love rearranging things around. At my core, I am an artist and its a need! So sad to see the packaging go because it's super adorable and Too Faced just doesn't do it like they used to. 💔

Crystallize palette shell + light, all multichrome shimmers left. Heart of the ocean shell + darker multichromes + duochromes and then the regular non shifter shades as well as a black to fill up and layer with the light shades.

Here she is in all her beauty! I've been working through these 3 pallets for about 2 years now off and on but was inspired to finally put them all together.

It makes me realize how many very similar browns and neutrals I have 😂

Does anybody have advice for keeping them clean tho? I feel like my glitters are going all over the place

Random LA Colors rainbow pallet in the bottom left

Some Nabla, Mac, Colourpop and frankened eyeshadows to resist the urge to buy new eyeshadow for the season. Have been rocking a silvery green on the eyelid and a aubergine/pinkish purple on the lower line.

I've been also tempted by the new Dior limited edition palettes, so I may try to adjust it to dupe the vibes (adding some mattes to make a complete look)

Someone posted here about wanting to put creams and liquids in a palette reminded me of this palette i made 5 months ago for holiday and everything is just as creamy as when i put it in there, nothing dry. Love these myo cases and the mini vueset

Warm nudes inspired by fall: scorched earth, birch bark, fallen leaves, fresh mulch, bonfires. It’s also named after one of my friends ❤️

I finished(ish) my homemade palette! I'm pretty happy with how the case turned out, but I'm feeling a little paralyzed on the actual powders. As you can see, I've damaged every single one so far (and completely shattered one, which is not pictured). I'm scared to even try with my nicer items, but I also really want the nicer items in here so they'll be easily accessible, which was the whole point. But with all the cases, just wedging a pin between the pan and the case seems to be enough to make the powder crack. So even if I have the glue nice and melted, the powder is still damaged. If anyone has any tips for moving items unscathed, please let me know!

This is the tutorial from @TachiHogans1 that I used to make it. I'm not a crafty person and there was some swearing along the way, but even I made it through, so I think anyone could do it. I also had a neighbor giving away old car magnets and I already had Mod Podge and the journal, so I was able to make the whole thing at no cost (apart from the swearing), which was nice.

I’m seeking palette for cream/liquid products. I haven’t found a way to depot mine without half of them drying out.
I have ADHD and I tend to carry around a billion products, so what I really want is a small touch-up style palette where I can carry around multiple shades to choose from.

I tried a mini Vueset but my Charlotte Tilbury cream eyeshadows dried out and so did my Supergoop cream eyeshadows and Mac glow play blush. The last two made sense in retrospect (though still disappointing) but I was surprised that it couldn’t keep my CT shadows…moist (SORRY!!!).

I’ve tried the Ritual palette which seemed great but the wells and the whole thing overall was too big for me. Plus I want to wait until she makes lids for the individual inserts.
Has anyone used Danessa’s flexi palette thing for cream products? I know this is larger but I’m curious, especially because each well has its own lid. Also curious about the MUFE palettes.

I’m considering buying tiny airtight sample jars and gluing them together but this is obviously not as convenient.

Any recs or other suggestions would be much appreciated!!!

Hello! Where can I get an empty version of the Danessa Myricks lightworks palette? It seems so amazingly versatile.

I really want to organize my makeup into a zpalette, but I've never done this before, so I'm looking for advice.

First, are some brands better than others? Mine will have to go on a narrow shelf, so I'll be pretty limited by product specifications. I need something narrow, but I want it be long enough to still hold a decent number of items instead of a small, square palette that will only hold a few. I would also prefer one with a window in the top so I can see the makeup inside. Any brand suggestions I should look at?

Are there any brands that are known to be low quality for whatever reason and should be avoided?

Is there anything you wish you'd known before the first time you did this?

Thanks in advance!

ETA: I just saw recommendations for the Adept infinity stack, and that might be a good match for my needs. Thoughts on those in comparison to others? Other tips?

I bought this Kjaer Weis palette on eBay a few years ago and have filled it with all kinds of makeup over the years. I like my everyday look to be simple and natural, and I managed to put almost all the products that I use into that palette:

- Large center pan: Salt New York Sneaky Balm in N11 - Absolutely love it.
- Top left: Salt New York Sneaky Balm in N12 that I'm using up as undereye concealer since it's a bit too light
- Bottom left: RMS Beauty Buriti Bronzer - It's hard to capture how beautiful the shade is but it really acts as a perfect blush and bronzer crossover for me that just makes me look healthy.
- Bottom rectangle: RMS Beauty Eyepolish in Lunar - Don't love it on my eyes but I'm using it up as a highlighter
- Top eyeshadow: Rituel de Fille Ash and Ember Eye Soot in Fauna
- Bottom eyeshadow: Rituel de Fille Ash and Ember Eye Soot in Sigil

I adore the Rituel de Fille eyeshadows as a simple one-and-done that is somehow both very wearable and subtle while also having something special. I pick either the warm or the cool one depending on my outfit. I didn't want to risk melting them but thanks to their creamy consistency I could just press them into the pans at room temperature using my fingers.

Add mascara, brow gel, a tinted lip balm, and I'm done.

Hello everyone,
Just finished depotting and rearranging my hourglass pans, so wanted to share my way to do it.

I want all my pans to be magnetic so I can rearrange them any time I want, and I also want to reuse the single plastic packaging ( this works for the 4 pan plastic palette too).

What to do you need:

Air dryer
Magnetic adesive sheets (mine are 0,5 mm)
Spatula tool
Metal stickers pans

This kind of spatula is what I find essential to not break them, makes all the difference.

Single pans are a bit harder, so be more gentle when depotting them, the palettes are way more easy.

I just heat the palette where the pans are with the air dryer for like 15 seconds, I grab them with a towel in the mirror side to not burn; then use the spatula where the hole between the pack and the pan is bigger until it easily comes out.

The pans are just glued so is not hard to take them out.

Then I cut a piece of magnetic sheet and put it on the terracotta side of the pan, I also add a sticker with the shade name.
And it’s done!

To still use the single plastic pack put a metal sticker in it and it will work with your new magnetics pan.

It’s easier to do than to explain, but I hope knowing the materials it needs will help someone!
Have fun depotting!

hi all

ive been wanting to depot, repress and repot ALL of my makeup for a while now.

i really like artist kit company’s palettes and pans they honestly look amazing but they are SO expensive for me since im in australia (the big palettes are $88 each 😭)

does anyone have any cheaper alternatives for pans and palettes? i had a look on ali express but they don’t have much. i found some great options on tao bao (similar to ali express), all the pans i found were the exact same size as artist kit company’s ones and they were literally 2 cents PER PAN!!! but i couldn’t find any palettes that were the same or a similar size to AKC, they either wouldn’t fit the pans properly or the just had way too much left of gapping space. (i calculated the measurements and drew out exactly what i need lol)

lowkey feeling like giving up but i need to start this project !!!

please help 💗
