makeup.. palette?

you know those artists palettes where you hold onto it and it holds little tubs of paint or whatever?

can you get those for makeup at all?

if so where and how much

yeah. you essentially use artists palettes, usually metal ones. try any craft store. not sure about price.

excellent!
back to the art store!

try a quick online search too. if your local art stores have websites, check em out before wasting time rummaging in the store.

Would you have to get make up that was the right size to fit in?
Just curious

I think I might be thinking of the wrong kind of palette...

Medusa's Makeup has a really cool one.

thats what i meant

but i wonder how the thingies are attached o.O

soraya- i have no idea o.O i'm still a bit of a noob.

er, they arent attached. that's just an effect for the photo.

whats the point of the pallete if i can't attach my shadows to it :/

i think i'll just get the metal thing from the academy

That's what I was thinking when I first read the post haha. Unless they made brand specific ones, basically like a regular palette except in that shape.. but I don't think I've ever seen make up palettes shaped like that.. Meh who knows.

I thought you meant pallettes, before I read your first post, as in huge mac ones where you can put lots of shadows in.

I havent seen palettes shaped like that, either. quite strange.

i figured ot what im gonna do

i'll buy a regular palette, and then stick florists foam on it. That way i can press whatever i want into my palette, and if it leave the centre clear i can mix there.

Good idea! O_O
I might copy you.
If I find cash.
And time.

lol

its pretty cheap really

find some old scrap wood thats nice n thin

cut it into desired shape

obtain florists foam (about $10 at a craft store i think, or just make puppy eyes at a florist)

glue foam to palette!

wooo!!! party!

You mean like that?

sort of but without the lid and with something to hold it by and maybe a section for mixing on

What kind of make up are you going to mix? Cus if it was cream stuff or loose eyeshadow then you couldd do that on a regular artist's palette.

uhm...lil...it sounds as if you're just speaking of a regular makeup artist's palette, which is what you SHOULD get. if you want something for eye shadows, just get a huge MAC palette and depot your shadows in there. it will save you lots of time. taping shadows to wood with the foam would look unprofessional.

but i want it to be able to be hand hel without a lid, and the shadows to be able to be taken off and swapped around...

not a container...

you can swap shadows in a palette, too. you have to use magnets and labels on the underside of them for it to be possible, though.

i'll figure something out

thanks girls

Maybe if you got a really BIG palette, it'd be big enough to cut into the shape you want and leave room to hold it?

Quite a difficult one, tell me what you do in the end cus I'm intrigued now

I think this will be a lot of help for you.

**revive since I don't see the need to make a new topic**

I'm finally gonna depot my MAC eyeshadows and put them in a palette.

Does anyone know where I can get some of those cool 15 pan palettes from MAC? They're not on the website and they weren't at the MAC counter I went to today.

I'm totally okie with buying them offline just as long as it isn't eBay or a site like that.

Thanks lovelies!

i was -just- about to suggest ebay and then i reread your post.

im going shopping today, so i'll have a look at my local MAC counter
