How to Refill/Customize a Face Palette

15Oct09

I LOVE to purchase face palettes. For one thing palettes are lightweight , great for on-site photo shoots and for on the go application. Personally, I usually rush out of the house and apply my make-up during my commute via on the bus, Bart, or in a cab. And face palettes are great for this reason because I don’t have to fuss with opening multiple compacts or pots of eye shadows while balancing it all on my lap.

My face palette pictured, in this How To is one that I’ve had for a long time. I love it because it’s basically the laptop of make-up. Super thin and portable. As you can see, most of the pans are empty or close to being empty because I’ve used it often. Instead, of leaving it empty I’ve figured out a way to fill them up at home and all the while customizing it to my liking. Recycle, reduce, reuse!

And that’s what I am going demonstrate today. How to create you own customize palette or refill the empty pan with product. (This demo also works for broken eye shadow or face powder as well).

Things You Need

Face Palette
Product that you want to transfer (In this case, I’m using blush powder).
Small spatula/ spoon ( You can get this at a MAC counter for free).
Rubbing Alcohol (70% or 90%).
Quarter (covered with foil for sanitary purposes).
Clean hand towel ( or piece of denim. This is to create that neat texture stamp).
