My favorite is the “limited edition tarteist pro custom magnetic palette” in the leopard print. It’s the most heavy duty one I’ve ever felt and is currently on sale for $12 on the tarte website. I no longer support the brand or shop from them but I do not regret buying it a few years ago. So good.
Oh I looked at that one for a long time! I kinda hate buying directly from a brand's website (and I'm not keen on supporting Tarte either) but thanks for the info - $12 is a great price for a palette that size and quality.
I ended up ordering one a couple of weeks ago. They were still offering free shipping and I had a discount code for it being my first order I bought a total of 2 empty palettes for under $20.
I love the 12 and 24 pan colourpop empty magnetic palettes. When ever I make a purchase at colourpop I like to add one or two to my cart and I like how they change or add new prints. They are super slim and easy to store and line up nicely in my Alex drawers.
Thanks for letting me know this! I don't often buy colourpop singles but I'll have to remember next time I'm making a general CP order to add an empty palette to the cart.
“ I love colorful makeup & colorful language” Omg, this just made my day.....I think we’re soul sisters! I love the shadow look, pastels are perfect for this too! Glad I happened to be searching for empty magnetic palettes and your video was first on the list! ....
I am absolutely kicking myself for not buying the clionadh magnetic palette on Jan 21st w my stained glass order, I think I might have to have to go back for it. (Shadows en route currently 😊 omg the wait has almost killed me and definitely bled my soul). As an atheist, I definitely don't go for a churchy vibe lol and was kinda thinking that maybe it was past my line, but it's just too gorgeous and I can't let my issues and preconceived notions deter me from appreciating art and beauty or that palette simply for what it is, that would be a shame and not a good look on me either. (Justification for palette purchase, done 😉)
Ooof that's a beautiful palette. I love the whole stained glass aesthetic and I'm not religious. I felt iffy on the super large packaging but I think if you have a substantail amount of clionadh shadows, it's just a perfect pairing.
Ps- if you ever do a follow up or future empty palette review mentioning the depth of the palettes is helpful (ie fits regular pans vs. domed pans...I have some domed milani or old baked LORAC & Laura geller shadows and and a ton of domed cheek products that only fit in very specific palettes)
Ooohoohoh, from one single shadow obsessed to another, fun video! Totally agree w you on the adept palettes, I have three different styles and love the quality but wish they weren't so heavy and bulky. I haven't had any problems w the integrity of shadows as a direct result of the palettes I don't think, but I am super careful w them. Love the shop miss a's for their price and functionality although they are a little cheapy looking. I like to keep a few empty for use in depotting and reorganizing projects and such. I've had bad luck w the colourpop ones that I've purchased empty or w a curated single bundle, they all warp and bend and end up not being able to fully close, won't be buying any more of the empties for sure. For some reason I really have a weird dislike for palettes w clear lids in general, although I do have a slightly rose goldy one that is so pretty and looks gorg w the square embossed wet n wild highlighters/blushes in it. Haaaaate the makeup forever ones, even the hinged. Have a great day Emily and thanks for sharing! 🌈
Thanks for the info across the board! Shop Miss A ones I like but they also do feel cheapy. I don't feel so bad if they get stained with shadows and stuff because they're so affordable. But Adept - I really can't wait for their new slim rectangular palettes. I'm so curious to see how heavy they are at this smaller size and if I find the size and format to be something I reach for. They're pricy but at the same time, I'm routing for them!
I really like my Z-Palettes (have had them for a very, very long time) and I have the double sided palette from them and I have never had an issue with it, as it benefits from the gravity issue you talked about from the Adept one. I’ve had it for years and the format is similar to how RawBeautyKristi did her PUR Cosmetic collaboration. I also like Z-Palette’s are weighted and very good quality (despite their customer service fiasco and little... tirade). I don’t mind palette not having mirrors because I use an old vanity and I use a hand-held mirror. In fact, using palette mirrors give me weirdly gives me anxiety... it makes my eyes strain and feel weird... Anyways, thank you for the amazing video!
Oh, just do it! I am 52 and am thinking of purple. You only live once, why not try it? I have seen grannies with colored streaks in their hair (even here in my little town). Whenever I do I think, now there is a lady who doesn't give a **** about what people think, lol.
Hi Emily! Very informative video. I have thought about getting a magnetic palette and depotting shadows so this was a very helpful video. I can tell that you are very passionate about them and have put a lot of thought into what works and why. I appreciate that. Thanks for the great video and I hope you are doing well and avoiding corona. 💕
YES to the bold brows. They look soooo good on you. This video was super helpful!! I’m dipping my toes into the single shadow world and I only have 2 magnetic palette neither of which I am a huge fan. You’re the best!
This video is great & the 2nd time I'm watching this! I bought my first indie eyeshadows in March & plan to get a few more now during the TM sale. I haven't used my others because I need a palette but its like do I go with a mirror or not?
This is such a helpful video! I’m looking to get some more magnetic palettes because my single shadow collection has been growing ☺️ I love the smaller Adept ones I have! 💗
YOUR EYE LOOK IS SO GOOD! Thank you for the helpful video, I'm looking into getting my first magnetic palette and a thorough comparison from an experienced user is suuuper valuable.
LOVED THIS! 👌💜 I'm super into singles and creating my own color stories, so I'm always stockpiling magnetic palettes. I definitely agree that the $2 Make Up For Ever palettes are such a hidden gem at Sephora! They are so sturdy, and I can fit 7 standard shadows in the XL one so I love it for travel. Right now I have one that's a bronzer/contour shade, a highlight, and two eyeshadows that I use as blushes. It's like the world's smallest face palette and I freaking love it! 🙌 Funnily enough, my favorite palette I own is definitely the two sided Adept palette that you don't like. Lol! It's like home base storage where everything lives all safe and sound and then I just pull things from in there to build palettes. Best makeup collection investment I ever made! But I love that these days there's something for everybody since we all have such different preferences. 😊 The next magnetic palette on my wishlist is the Menagerie Cosmetics one with the little foxes on it. It's just too dang cute! 💙💚
Yes I need another one of the xl palettes - I think I gave mine away. But it's such a nice small but big(?) palette especially with the mirror. I have definitely set up an xl palette in that format, a little to-go face and eye palette.
I’ve been needing a small 9 pan magnetic palette for a trip I have coming up..... you’ve inspired sweet Emily and I just ordered the mermaid one from Amazon. Thanks chica 💋😍🥰💓
Thank you! I have been looking for a video like this as I've started to seriously expand my single eyeshadow collection (the only Shadows I really get I'm not a big premade palette girl)
I have 2 of the Adept 2 sided palettes in the white marble. The style is a bit different than the one you have, but I LOVE them. I ended up depotting all of my ND palettes and combined with the singles I have, the two palettes hold everything perfectly, and I find myself using all of my shadows so much more. No breakage issues, but I definitely agree the suckers get heavy AF when filled.
I've seen those like tri-fold adept palettes too. That almost won the debate between the croc palette and other options, but in the end I'm glad I went with the black croc. Glad to hear you love yours!
I was surprised, but I actually really liked the ABH magnetic palettes that they put out over the holiday. I ordered three of the glitter ones, and I've thought about picking up the rest (they were still available last time I checked, a couple of weeks ago). Right now I've got Lethal Cosmetics shadows in two of them (thanks to you and Theresa is Dead! lol) and the other one has Make Up For Ever and the Glitch palette shadows from Ofra….though I'm tempted to get that black croc palette from Adept to keep all of my Lethal shadows together. I never used to buy single shadows and I'm still sort of terrified of depotting anything that isn't magnetized, but I've been loving magnetic palettes....who am I?!
Theresa stores all her Lethal in the black croc palette. It's such a high quality palette. And I love discovering brands that make magnetic palettes for packaging - Melt Cosmetics, Kaleidos, Colourpop, Natasha Denona, etc. You could depot and play with like singles and then use them as whole palettes too.
Thank you for this. I’m about to make my first foray into depotting, strictly from a space saving standpoint. I can’t seem to find much info on the depth of these palettes. I use the ELF baked highlighter and need to know if this domed product will fit.
I really like this video. I was lucky enough to pick up 3 of the giant Coloured Raine palettes before they discontinued them. I wish they'd bring them back. I would prefer it to not have the mirror, but the mirror is giant, for those who like that. And it folds back completely. Why did they discontinue them?? I just got the Adept croc palette and I'll probably pick up another one or two as my collection grows. I thought about the double-sided ones, but thought that having some shadows upside-down might be problematic. Your lost shadows makes my heart hurt ❤️
Coloured Raine is completely out of the single eyeshadow game so it makes some sense that they would stop selling empty palettes. But OH. They were SO GOOD.
@@imperfectlyEm it makes me so sad to see brands not selling singles! I don't want to have to destroy a perfectly good palette just because I want to play around with the shades as singles. Those magnetic palettes were perfection and I'm sad CR didn't realize they could keep making money off of them 😢
Sadly, the only option I have is the MAC palettes. So it's the best for me. I just add magnetic stickers to my shades and the MAC palette holds them so well when I do that. Those bitches STICK!
I bought empty 6-pan Sugarpill palettes for my JD Glow shadows and Devinah highlighters. They seem very sturdy and have successfully protected the shadows on long flights in checked baggage. I also really like the Tarte magnetic palettes- I got both of mine on sale. They’re very pretty (I opted for the sequined ones because I’m basically a crow who likes sparkly things) as well as functional, and the mirrors are good.
Emily Hanhan yes. I haven’t had issues with the shadows in my double sided Adept palette. I guess because I store it like a book so none of the shadows are upside down.
Love your video!! Thanks so much. I wanted to know the measurement of the magnetic part of the morphe palette. The website gives the measurements, but wants to make sure its the measurement of inside of the palette (the magnetic part) and not the overall size of the palette. Thanks so much, I hope i make sense lol
Hey, thanks! This was *exactly* what I came here looking for today. Looks like you have other interesting videos so I subscribed and liked and all that. I, too, enjoy colorful language. I'm looking forward to your "Ranting and Raving About the Most Expensive Makeup" collab. I am drawn to this theme... ;-P Two things - one, I feel you on the tile floors. They are so unforgiving. Easy to clean and look great but those tiles are very unforgiving. You should have seen my face when you told that story - I felt your agony. I'm so sorry. I love cats, I was raised with cats (and dogs) and what can you do? Two, have you tried Sydney Grace's empty palettes? They are my first and only empty palettes and I think they're great but that's compared with pre-filled palettes. I'd get more but they are doing their big sale and they're sold out of empty palettes, all sizes. Dammit. I will try Miss A for the small palettes and I don't know about that croc Adept. It's a beauty but it's ginormous. Do I care? I don't know. Must think. And browse. Anyway, thanks. Excellent reviews.
I have wanted that blue Adept palette since it came out but never could pull the trigger. When you said you thought about PoshMarking it, I got giddy. Let me know! 😂
The thing with the double sided Adept that I hate is it is so freaking hard to get open. I have to use something to jimmy it open every time. I have all of my depotted Morphe in there and some have broken from the jarring when I have to force the stupid thing open. Why not put a latch or something on there? The MAC one I have is ok but I notice that unless you get the pro palette shadows the magnetic strength is not there. I have the MAC that comes in it's own little compact and when I depotted and put in there, they barely stuck, so then I had to put magnets on them. Why would MAC do that? So stupid. Magnetic compacts are ridiculous. My favorite so far is my big Sydney Grace palette and I may order more. I would like for all of mine to be the same size, with just few small ones for travel. Sorry for the long comment. I enjoyed this video!
Oh yeah, the small MAC compacts are just built to hold MAC shadows only and aren't magnetic! Argh! And I agree about the Adept double sided palettes, they just..... the palette I had was so frustrating to me!
I like the mega makeup geek palettes. They are plastic so I’ve been able to sanitize them and they look like new. Never tried a cardboard box palette. Does it hold when you clean it?
It depends on the packaging. The more matte cardboard can be "cleaned" but if it's stained, it's stained. The glossier cardboard packaging can be cleaned. Plastic or metal are probably the easiest to clean though.
I’m surprised you don’t like the old school makeup forever palette. I hear other folks saying they love that design because it protects their stuff better. I feel like all my z palette palettes have broken stuff in them now and I’m hoping to find something better to de-pot pressed powder foundation etc. I don’t want everything breaking
IDK the makeup forever ones just felt cheap and clunky. I still like the single-layer adept croc palette the best, but I think my current/new fave are the palettes from TARTE!
I have some hourglass powders to depot. Do you think any of these would be deep enough for the dome shape of their finishing powders?! Im also trying to depot ALL of my jsc shadows. Ive spent some money on them so I want my moneys worth but want them out of the packaging so def need to look into some of these for those as well!!
Hmm, I'm not sure. Also some domed products are just on a netting and not in a proper pan because of how baked shadows are made. So you may not be able to just depot, FYI.
I have two large morphes and two large juvias ( and hate the design, but think they are slim, sturdy and cheap), two large shop missa for blushes mostly (love the design but they are bulkier) one lethal ( love) and a few zpalettes ( hate the clear lid, and one of them broke while travelling, damaging my powders). I decluttered my mac and inglot ones, and have been reaching for those shadows more since Idid so. I depot everything except for my Nars palettes and Gemini. Might consider buying the adept crocodile one, and thank you for your opinion on the double-sided plastic one -I am team cardboard but was almost tempted by those! You saved me some money! How does the paint hold up on the morphe palettes? Is it acrylic? I might try that...
Hey Estelle, I've only had the morphe palette for a few months but it's held on just fine. It could be nice with a clear glossy topcoat because the matte texture is only ok. Also, did you know that the Melt Gemini palette is magnetized? So you could theoretically depot them and not ruin the packaging. AND put them back in the packaging if you want.
My favorite is the “limited edition tarteist pro custom magnetic palette” in the leopard print. It’s the most heavy duty one I’ve ever felt and is currently on sale for $12 on the tarte website. I no longer support the brand or shop from them but I do not regret buying it a few years ago. So good.

I ended up ordering one a couple of weeks ago. They were still offering free shipping and I had a discount code for it being my first order I bought a total of 2 empty palettes for under $20.
Sorry, just read this and I was wondering, if you don't mind me asking, why don't you support tarte anymore?? It's actually a really good brand.
Thanks I just picked up two for less than $12
I actually quite like the Colourpop empty palettes. You can get them on a good sale and they seem sturdy/protect my shadows nicely
I love the 12 and 24 pan colourpop empty magnetic palettes. When ever I make a purchase at colourpop I like to add one or two to my cart and I like how they change or add new prints. They are super slim and easy to store and line up nicely in my Alex drawers.

I would be super interested to see a video of what’s in your reject palette! Especially those square yellow pans. Menagerie?
Thank you for this video! I have zero empty magnetic palettes. So things helped give me ideas for good ones to get.
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Ps- if you ever do a follow up or future empty palette review mentioning the depth of the palettes is helpful (ie fits regular pans vs. domed pans...I have some domed milani or old baked LORAC & Laura geller shadows and and a ton of domed cheek products that only fit in very specific palettes)

Thank YOU for leaving that input! I don't think I've seen that style of Z Palette myself, but good to know.
Thanks! I have been looking for a new magnetic palette. I picked up the same yellow Coloured Raine pallet a while back and it's full now. 🙂
Thank you for covering the "folding back" portion - very important for me! ❤️
You are so welcome!
I’m so glad you’re keeping the wig...I love it! If I was younger,I’d soo do pink hair!(nobody should have to see a 55 year old with pink hair)
Hey, I think anyone, any age, any gender, can rock whatever color hair you want!!!
Oh, just do it! I am 52 and am thinking of purple. You only live once, why not try it? I have seen grannies with colored streaks in their hair (even here in my little town). Whenever I do I think, now there is a lady who doesn't give a **** about what people think, lol.
I literally gasped when you said “hard tile floor” Noooooooooooooo!!😱
If you want to cry, I'll send the photo on instagram. It was a saaaaaaaaaaad time.
I gasped when I heard this!
Hi Emily! Very informative video. I have thought about getting a magnetic palette and depotting shadows so this was a very helpful video.

YOUR EYE LOOK IS SO GOOD!
Thank you for the helpful video, I'm looking into getting my first magnetic palette and a thorough comparison from an experienced user is suuuper valuable.
You can also use the 3.50 off 15 for the ulta palletes. That's what I did when I bought one.
Yes! All the coupons!

I also really like the Tarte magnetic palettes- I got both of mine on sale. They’re very pretty (I opted for the sequined ones because I’m basically a crow who likes sparkly things) as well as functional, and the mirrors are good.
Those square Tarte palettes!!! I love the concept of those. The size and quality, and the shiny magpie sequins.
My favorite magnetic palettes are Adept and Shop Miss A. Coastal Scents also has good ones.
Absolutely, Adept and Shop Miss A are top two. So good for different reasons.
Emily Hanhan yes. I haven’t had issues with the shadows in my double sided Adept palette. I guess because I store it like a book so none of the shadows are upside down.
I freaking love the ABh ones that recently came out
Oh I forgot they came out with empty palettes! They had some 90s lisa frank vibes to them, tempting me to my core.
@@imperfectlyEm they're not terribly expensive and are super solid. I really like them better than ANY others I've tried

Magnetic compacts are ridiculous. My favorite so far is my big Sydney Grace palette and I may order more. I would like for all of mine to be the same size, with just few small ones for travel.
Sorry for the long comment. I enjoyed this video!
Oh yeah, the small MAC compacts are just built to hold MAC shadows only and aren't magnetic! Argh! And I agree about the Adept double sided palettes, they just..... the palette I had was so frustrating to me!
I absolutely love your hair!
Thank you so much!
This is such a helpful video, thank you!!!
You're so welcome!
Love me a good magnetic palette, looking forward to hearing all your thoughts and feelings!
I def. need to buy another magnetic palette.
I like the mega makeup geek palettes. They are plastic so I’ve been able to sanitize them and they look like new. Never tried a cardboard box palette. Does it hold when you clean it?
It depends on the packaging. The more matte cardboard can be "cleaned" but if it's stained, it's stained. The glossier cardboard packaging can be cleaned. Plastic or metal are probably the easiest to clean though.
Super helpfull, thanks 😊
You’re welcome 😊
MAC is pretty nice
I’m surprised you don’t like the old school makeup forever palette. I hear other folks saying they love that design because it protects their stuff better.
I feel like all my z palette palettes have broken stuff in them now and I’m hoping to find something better to de-pot pressed powder foundation etc. I don’t want everything breaking
IDK the makeup forever ones just felt cheap and clunky. I still like the single-layer adept croc palette the best, but I think my current/new fave are the palettes from TARTE!
@@imperfectlyEm Alright it looks like I’ll be googling that just about…. Now!
@@imperfectlyEm okay I just looked it up. I’m only seeing a really small one. Do they sometimes have bigger ones?
Tarte's leopard palette holds about 30 shadows, so it's not giant but it's also not tiny!
Super helpful!
Do you have any opinions on Colourpop magnetic palettes? I picked some up, but don't have any comparison when it comes to quality
I don't own any of the empty Colourpop palettes. I'm wondering if they're close in quality to Shop Miss A palettes? Perhaps!
@@imperfectlyEm Ah damn! I hoped you had tried them since this video was posted haha.
I have some hourglass powders to depot. Do you think any of these would be deep enough for the dome shape of their finishing powders?! Im also trying to depot ALL of my jsc shadows. Ive spent some money on them so I want my moneys worth but want them out of the packaging so def need to look into some of these for those as well!!
Hmm, I'm not sure. Also some domed products are just on a netting and not in a proper pan because of how baked shadows are made. So you may not be able to just depot, FYI.
@@imperfectlyEm thank you so much for the tip! Thats good to know
I have two large morphes and two large juvias ( and hate the design, but think they are slim, sturdy and cheap), two large shop missa for blushes mostly (love the design but they are bulkier) one lethal ( love) and a few zpalettes ( hate the clear lid, and one of them broke while travelling, damaging my powders). I decluttered my mac and inglot ones, and have been reaching for those shadows more since Idid so. I depot everything except for my Nars palettes and Gemini. Might consider buying the adept crocodile one, and thank you for your opinion on the double-sided plastic one -I am team cardboard but was almost tempted by those! You saved me some money! How does the paint hold up on the morphe palettes? Is it acrylic? I might try that...
Hey Estelle, I've only had the morphe palette for a few months but it's held on just fine. It could be nice with a clear glossy topcoat because the matte texture is only ok. Also, did you know that the Melt Gemini palette is magnetized? So you could theoretically depot them and not ruin the packaging. AND put them back in the packaging if you want.
And the croc palette looks and feels soooooooooooooo nice.
Emily Hanhan did not know that! Thanks for the tip!!
Hi , loved the video, soooo helpful ! I have just one question : in the MAC one (the large) how many singles can you fit without the insert ?
It looks like it holds 24 of the "standard" 26mm pan but I don't know if adding magnetic tape to the bottom would affect that for any reason.
@@imperfectlyEm Thanks a lot ! I added (glued down ) a magnetic sheet in one of mine (different brand) and worked wonderfully!
@@CarolLoureiro-ew4vj where did you get your magnetic sheet? I did that with one of mine but I’m not crazy about the magnet.
Does anyone know how many give me glow size type shadows can a nine pan regular palette hold?
It will hold 4 of the larger 37mm size pans Give Me Glow and JD Glow use.
@@imperfectlyEm thank you!
I love you hair ❤️
Thank you!
Good Video! :)
