I do like palettes, but I find depotting too much hassle and I never seem to like the pre-made palettes MAC releases, accept Fafi eyes 1, so I keep everything in individual pots.

I do love Bobbi Browns palette system, where you can put foundation, e/s, blush and lipstick all in the same palette, you can also put the product back in the original package if you want to change colorcombo’s.

Why can’t all make-up brands come up with this idea ?!

I like the pots more, but the palettes do make more sense! The way I hvae my makeup organized, the palettes sort of hide and I reach for my pots more often though! But as the pots run out I switch to palettes (I buy perm colours in palette form, but sometimes I get some as gifts or whatever)

That’s so odd! I am usually really careful with my makeup, but every time I have dropped a quad it’s been completely undamaged, but I have ruined a couple of singles by dropping them!

I was always under the impression that the quads are safer becauese they have the ease to move around within the quad. The energy of the impact is partially absorbed by their ability to slide around. The singles have no lateral movement, so the energy cannot be as easilly dissispated and is more likely to result in fracture.

It’s so interesting you have had the opposite experience!

I buy the eyeshadows in special packaging…if they come in the basic mac packaging then I’ll just buy the pan and stick it in a palette.

Palettes are the way to go for me… except I can’t bring myself to depot Expensive Pink in the neo sci fi pot, because I think the orange is neat!
