When it comes to eyeshadow palettes, I tend to be a bit of a control freak, so I frequently find that pre-designed options have shades that may be curated beautifully but aren't always what I want in terms of wearability. This is especially true of pre-designed options that come in kits. This is particularly true with regard to eyeshadow palettes. This is especially the case with choices that have already been pre-designed by the company.
The part of me that yearns for color aesthetic is irritated by the fact that there is always a split between shades that I know I will love and shadows that I know I will never touch. It seems that there is always a split between shades that I know I will love and shadows that I know I will never touch. Because of this, it shouldn't come as a surprise that one of my favorite things is when I am given complete discretion over the eyeshadows that I include in a palette. I absolutely adore that feeling. In point of fact, there is no reason for surprise in any way. Because there are currently so many businesses that offer these customization options, I have made the decision to talk about only four of the companies that I consider to be exceptional in terms of value, quality, and variety of available options for personalization.
It would be improper to talk about custom eyeshadow palettes without first mentioning MAC, as they were one of the companies that played an important role in the conception of the idea. The majority of their extensive product lineup, with the notable exception of their signature black compact, is offered for sale at a reduced price in single pans that have magnetic backings. This discount is applicable to all of the extensive product lineup, including both the Pro lineup and the rest of the lineup. The company also sells empty palettes in a variety of different multiples, making them an excellent choice whether you want just a couple of them or a whole collection arranged in an aesthetically pleasing color coding system (for an example, see the image of my Purple Palette above). The company also sells full palettes in a variety of different multiples, making them an excellent choice. Additionally, the company offers complete palettes for purchase in a wide range of multiples, which positions them as a very desirable option.
Because of how sleek they are, how portable they are, and how sturdy their packaging is, these products are great options for makeup artists as well as regular customers. Because of these characteristics, these products are inherently good alternatives to consider. Hold off on making any snap conclusions about me just yet; it's possible that I own more than one of those.
The packaging for Urban Decay's entire line of shadows was redesigned a few years ago so that it could be easily converted from a single shade to a palette without the need for time-consuming depotting or the purchase of individual eyeshadows in pan form. This feature allows the shadows to be used in a variety of ways, including as a standalone product, in a palette, or as part of a collection. Because of this characteristic, the eyeshadows can be utilized in a number of different contexts, including as a standalone product, as a component of a palette, and as a component of a collection. The company was able to successfully enter the market for customizable palettes as a direct result of this.
These palettes are only available in sets of four, but they are very sturdy, come with a mirror, and it is not difficult to add eyeshadow to or remove eyeshadow from the palette. The palettes are sold exclusively by the set. Because these fit into the palette with a plastic 'holder,' for lack of a better term, it means that they cannot be placed in magnetic palettes like Z-Palettes. This is because magnetic palettes prevent the plastic holder from falling out of the palette. Because of this, magnetic palettes prevent the plastic 'holder' from slipping out of the palette and being lost. In my opinion, this is one of the drawbacks that comes along with the utilization of these palettes. A wonderful alternative for someone who likes to switch between a few different colors depending on the ambiance that they are experiencing at the moment.
Since the beginning of time, the Freedom System has always been an essential component of Inglot's underlying infrastructure. Their extensive product line includes empty palettes that can be purchased in a variety of 'pan' quantities, each of which can hold a different amount of paint. You select the eyeshadows that you want to use to fill the palette before making the purchase. This step comes before the actual purchase.
A magnet system that is built into the palettes keeps the square shadows, as well as blushes, powders, bronzers, or pretty much any other powder product that can be put into a palette, in their proper places. This magnet system packs a tremendous amount of punch. The Inglot line of palettes is extremely versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes.
Once a product has been added to the palette, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to remove it again. This is my one and only complaint about the palette. The only disadvantage of the palette is this one. On the other hand, these are extremely trendy, and the more compact palettes are incredibly convenient for traveling.(it is not impossible to get, but it is not an easy task either)
The brand-new player on the custom palette scene, Buxom, comes in last but is by no means the least important of the bunch. Be sure to check out my most recent in-depth review, which was just published on the site and is about their Customizable Eyeshadow Bar. These individual shadows are packaged in a rectangular piece of plastic that also features a fantastic mirror, and the whole thing is sealed shut. These eyeshadows come in a box that is also rectangular in shape. The rectangle will first have to be slid into the carrier, and only after that will you be able to pop the carrier into the palette. These can be adjusted in and out with a great deal of ease, and despite the fact that the housing is kept relatively stylish and uncomplicated, it is quite sturdy. Additionally, the housing can be adjusted in and out.
Because it contains up to six distinct shades, this palette can easily fulfill all of your shadow requirements. These are great for packing in a toiletry bag or bringing along on a trip. These are fantastic items to pack in a toiletry bag or bring along on a trip because they are so portable.
These four brands each offer a comprehensive selection of empty palettes that can be customized to meet the particular requirements of the customers who buy their products and are therefore able to cater to the specific preferences of those customers. If you only use a small subset of the colors contained in a palette, it is not necessary for you to purchase the entire palette just because you enjoy working with those colors.
Have you given any of these a shot, and if so, what kind of results did you get? How would you recommend putting together a customized eyeshadow palette to ensure the best possible results?
