How To Depot Eyeshadows (Into the Mac Pro Palette W/O inserts)

Hey lovelies....! 

I'm full of smiles today cause when I woke up, I told myself I'd stay happy, come what may! :D

Here's a step by step post on how you can depot eyeshadows into the MAC pro palette. 

There are several palettes out there all for you to have loads of colours at a go! It reduces all the bulky stuff you have to move around with, especially as a make up artist.  

This is what the Pro palette i'm using today looks like.     

Most people get inserts to fit in this palette so they can then use it for whatever makeup they decide. If you get the lipstick insert, then you have a lipstick palette. 

The inserts with the highest pots for eyeshadows from MAC has15 pots. 

15 to me is too little and then my favourite eyeshadows aren't all from MAC Cosmetics. 

With that in mind, I decided to get the palette anyway but without the inserts. 

All I'm working with today

  

What you need...

The palette

Nail file (you can use a very flat knife if you find one)

Glue

Candle and a match Box or a lighter

Then your eyeshadow

Here's how

For the mac shadows depot

 

Locate where you have that line, push in the file and twist. 

You'll hear a click sound. 

Take out the insert and hold with a lash holder (like me) or you could use a tweezer.  

Hold over flame in a fast swinging motion so the insert doesn't flame up nor melt. 

After a few seconds, turn insert over and use the file to push out the pan. 

All these can be done carefully, without damaging the case. 

The insert should still fit in and make a click sound. 

Why take care when you don't need the case?

I heard MAC gives a free lipstick with every 5 empty MAC cosmetics case you return. So there!

Next thing you want to do is name your pot. 

Hold over flame for 2 seconds without burning, it gets really easy to peel off. 

You either stick this to the bottom of the pan if you're not glueing it to the palette OR you stick the name to the approximate opposite part of the palette lid where that pot would be glued. 

Repeat steps for as many shadows that can fit in. Mind you, MAC has refill  shadows (you don't have to depot) at an even cheaper rate.

The depoting is quite different but easy anyway. 

(The shadows don't come with those blue strips. It was just a form of identification back in makeup school. So nobody "mistakenly" keeps my property X_X LOL!)

Hehe....!

I'm totally about these particular shadows these days. 

That's already 12 shadows and space for more.

Have a happy-happy weekend!

Bemi. 

Mwah!
