Thank you for this top tip!

Oh my goodness, this was so helpful! I did actually need to heat up my setting powder pan with my straightener first because there wasn't much space like in your pan. But once I was able to get a pin on the side, I got the floss in there and removed the pan!!

thanks for this! this is just what i need cuz i just want to put some shades in a magnetic palette that i use the most for travel but i wanna leave the others in the old palettes rather than destroy the whole palette!

This is a good hack! Unfortunately, for me the gaps in my eyeshadow palettes are too small to use floss so I've been using clothes pin, to leverage them out. The first one was cardboard so I just tore it apart. Takes forever, but I'm too worried about using heat to get them out as there can be many consequences of that.

Thank you!😂💄

Wow! This video is amazing! Thanks for sharing 😀

Thank you sooo much ❤ I was able to do this with a couple pans. The first one I took out worked with just the pin moving the pan slightly lol. Eternally grateful ;^; no risk of breaking shadows or accidentally hurting my hands 🎉

Super helpful

ive heard of the floss method but i couldn't visualize how it's done so thank you so much for posting this video!

i love this video !!!

Hilarious video, thank you great tutorial!

Amazing! This is *totally working* for my MAC lip palette!! I've never depotted anything before, and wanted to avoid using heat or other potentially dangerous or destructive methods - I want my Back2MAC, dang it! 😂 And holy crap this totally works!! Thank you for showing us how and for sharing this video in the first place, even several years ago ☺️ THANKS!

To get the eyeshadow tin out of the pallete I use the end of a metal nail file around the edges where you put the floss, be careful for it pinging out whatever method you use.

Omg this is probably the BEST way of doing this shit! I broke some of my blushes trying to depot and this right here is GOLD! I hate that I don't have any floss BUT I will get my butt off this bed and do this NEOWWW! TY!!!!

You are brilliant. I have 3 Clio pallets that I thought some colors were too similar. I just depot a couple colors and switch them around using your method. It was quick, I did stab a couple of them but it wasn’t hard or messy. Thank you.

useful tips even after 7 years :)

I actually ended up ripping my palette up to get to the main layer where the glue is 😂

Thank you!

This only works for cheaply packaged cardboard Otherwise ridiculously hard. Thank though because it does work on my cheap pallets

I stopped to click and like this video and comment because I saw #StopTheViolence and I thought that was so funny thank you for the laugh haha

This is an interesting method. I like it very much.👍🏼👍🏼

Such a greate trick. Thx a lot. I am ging to change eyeshadows in my Huda Desert Dusk because i hate the two violett ones so much, u can't look at it, but like the rest.😂

I tried this. I was skeptical because of the other comments. I’m depotting Ipsy singles like blush and highlighter, and I have a history of destroying them. I tried this with a needle and a slurpee straw to push into place... it worked like a CHARM!!! Seriously give it a try, take your time. It is a game changer!!

I shall try that. Don't want to use heat as it looks too too dangerous!!! Thank you for this video!

Great job!!!

does it work with pan lipsticks too?

Just gotta say thanks for this video- I seriously belly laughed when you poked the shadow with the needle, pointed it out, then proceeded to poke the shadow again. Seems like something I’d do 😂

you can store the round blending sponges behind the cubes, just put a small square of Velcro on the back and they attach and they are with the color you use it with

Your personality is so cute. I just had to subscribe 😂💖💞

Yay! Yours was the first tutorial for depoting then I found and I need to depot three Stila eyeshadow palettes. I would never have thought of doing it this way so thank you so much for the tutorial. 👍🏼

It's a method I never have thought off. Thank you! I will try it for my eyeshadow palettes that have enough space around the pan

This actually worked, thank you!!

HEY BABES!!!! Let me help you out real quick and make your "depotting" makeup life easier!!!!!! IIIIFFFFF the palette is CARDBOARD BASED.....wait for it....TEAR OFF THE CARBOARD FIRST!!!!!! start at the corners and slowly take it off.....or rip it off all in one go like i did for one of my UD palettes. it came off SO EASILY!!! and then i took a thin metal nail file and took each shadow off without cracking, bending, shattering, etc. taking of the glued piece of paper at the back of the pan was the most time consuming (about 7 minutes total...YES!). For plastic palettes.....not there yet. i can get back to you on that if you want!

Thank you so much! I´m about to go on holiday and I don´t really want to bring my Naked 2 Palette with me, instead I just wanted to swap some shadows from the Naked 2 with some from the Naked Basic. But every depotting-video I found destroyed the freaking packaging, when all I want is to just swap some shades. So thank you!!!

i'm hoping this trick will work when i try to depot all the shadows, cheek colors, and lip colors from the bazillion deck of scarlet palettes i've amassed over the months. the colors are great but i can rarely get one look out of a single palette so having them in my own magnetic palette would be a huge help.

The palette is literally cardboard.... Why not just tear it?

Lol this video is awesome!! Thank you for sharing!

Hello Allison, I am in love with the rolling carts. I feel they are the answer I have been waiting for. I have two, 4 tier ones and have 3 more in the cart at IKEA, but there system is down and I can’t order them yet, bummer... I see that you have the cups that hang off the side in black, but I don’t see them on the website, are yours from Ikea? If so before I order them I will ask customer service. Thanks, Peace Evelyn

Definitely a great video. I may end up depotting some eyeshadows next year and buy a Z palette to put them in and then toss the other eyeshadows in the palette(s) I don't want.

YAYYY!

very neat! love your humour lol! i never knew u could do it like this very awesome!

i really want to make my own little eye shadow palette with all the shadows I use... i have so many which i use for only 2-3 shades smh.... (naked, too faced, abh, etc)

OMG!! This is some witchcraft you have!!! Thank you so much!

Genius!

Using this trick on a cardboard urban decay cheek palette I’ve used up two of the shades and want to put the other two in my z palette but Oof my floss keep breaking when I tug I finally got one out though haha

GENIUS! This totally works on the new rectangle jordana shadows. THANK YOU!!

New SUB

but my palate has no mother flipping gaps between the pan and plastic caseeeeeee

Thats a card board package, why couldnt you just rip it off so you can have a better acces and puch the pan from the back of the main board?
