I don’t think your custom palette is boring at all!!! Those are colors I would use all the time too! I found it inspiring and would make me excited to use it everyday!!!

[@zaria5785]

Bingo!

[@askalemuralia]

The final palette looks very soothing. I think we all underestimate how pleasant is on the eye if we see a cohesive colour gradient. I am pretty sure, that the makeup industry would make a lot more money if they produced such palettes and made it a big deal, too. Looking forward to your next massacre! :D

[@dinahlizett]

Some will never do that cause then we would see they are releasing the same palette for the 5th time (I'm looking at you colourpop lol)

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

@@dinahlizett Oh, you mean switching to a sustainable business model that promotes quality over quantity and encouraging repurchasing of favorites vs what's hot this microsecond.

[@crytalw2236]

Yes, but for me ....I like it when the palettes are setup in groups. With columns, rows, quads, etc. Otherwise I will put the same looks together 😁

[@froggerng]

These depotting and customizing videos are becoming my favorites! I love seeing you save the best shades and create palettes that are perfectly your style.

[@sveme5450]

i would watch hours upon hours of you just taking apart repetetive palettes and creating art. i am HERE for it

[@TikkaHorse]

My favorite technique so far has been using isopropyl alcohol in a syringe to get some underneath the pan so loosen the glue. Works like a charm on almost all I've tried it on, maybe like one failure on an elf blush I was depotting to make a full face daily palette. You have to let it set for a while, but not long enough for it to evaporate or the glue will re-set. Wiggle the pot a bit, use a bit more alcohol, wiggle a little more, works fantastic on mattes that break if the pan bends.

[@kuuaxus8070]

Is 70% isopropyl good enough? How long would you wait before you'd start to try and remove the pan?

[@TikkaHorse]

@@kuuaxus8070 For glue, I use at least 91 or preferably 99%. I find the lower ones aren't strong enough. I'll wait a couple of minutes, reapply, then about another minute before starting to wiggle on it. If you wait too long, and it evaporates, the glue will start sticking again so it has to still be wet with the alcohol while wiggling. After loosening it up a bit, I'll let it sit another minute to soften the newly exposed glue and reapply some more alcohol if it's getting dry. Most important is that you don't bend the pan or you'll likely break the product. Shimmers hold up better to incidental bending than mattes. Patience is a must, but it usually pays off. If you find out that a pan is not magnetic after you get it out, you can buy sticky back disks to use.

[@makeupbibs13]

Your wrong, this would totally sell well! Cohesive and versatile, very userfriendly.

[@oliviabeltran2099]

I agree! I would definitely buy a palette similar to that! Pretty close to perfect, actually! 😆

[@KitschSnitch]

It is also not inclusive and fairly repetitive so it would be cancelled

[@naesynaenae9385]

I think you could probably narrow it down to about a 9 pan, or maybe a couple of 6-8 pan palettes. Either way a couple of the browns are a little redundant all together like that

[@swethatelkar85]

When you mentioned about making your own palette in the previous video, I thought dang I wish I could see it right now 😊

[@Rpa-48]

Great job, appreciate all the effort you go into for your content! You inspired me to do this too. I got rid of a lot of old and unused single eyeshadows, and took only my faves from my ND Sunrise palette before getting rid of the palette. I ended up with a small palette of metallics and shimmers. I get so much joy opening it up and using it

[@TheJukeboxwidow]

I love this series & branch off, not only enjoyable, edge of the seat watching, but informative!

[@eimajffoh]

It feels like makeup breakup!

[@tharoxx9233]

This is genius! I have to try this since I only use four colors from 3 too faced palettes.

[@Yolanda8419]

I love what you are doing with this project. It will help you a lot to actually use your eyeshadows.

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

As soon as I saw the finished palette, I immediately thought, "That's a palette she's going to end up mostly panning in the next year or two." I actually think it's a really awesome palette. It's so nice having a palette that you know you can turn to for easy one and one looks as well as being able to "fancy it up" if you want to with some fun shades and they all speak to you on some level. It's freeing and much easier mentally. I think its awesome to have the courage to take apart palettes that don't easily come apart to create your own. I've actually stopped purchasing eyeshadow palettes and I'm actually considering doing this with a bunch of palettes because it really is cumbersome when you're like, I love this one and done shadow from this palette, and this one, and this one... and I love this shadow from this palette with this shadow from this other one. It just uses up a lot of mental energy and whether you're a busy parent, a busy career person, or a spoonie like me, if you're having to expend even more mental or physical energy to do your makeup, it just becomes that much easier to say F'it, even if you know you'll get joy and satisfaction out of the process of doing it or from feeling a little more "put together".

[@KitschSnitch]

Thanks! Yeah I will likely pan it at some stage, not because I want it gone (I actually love the colour story and have been using it a lot since making it) but because some of the shades are so old and it would be a shame to see it go off. Yeah I agree, it does take up a lot of energy finding the right shades from the right palettes, and for me it takes too much time. I barely give myself 15min to do my makeup most days and I don't want to spend that time looking for the right eyeshadow. So it is MUCH easier having one palette that you like everything from and, more importantly, it works easily together without any effort

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

@@KitschSnitch I think, even without “panning with intent” you’ll just organically find yourself with big dips and visible pan just for the reasons you’ve said. You love the color story and cohesion, which makes it an easy “yes, that” option day to day. I was thinking a fun video idea might be talking about your favorite “one and done” shadows & exploring others your followers use that happen to also be in your collection. Maybe an idea for after you’ve worked through your collection.

[@appppppplecrumble6601]

Love that your love of cosmetics & that you play & think about and just enjoy what you are doing. How can you still be under a million subs?

[@jelenadjokic1462]

I love depotting and watching depotting videos. What works best for me is using those gaps between the pan and the packaging and putting a few drops of alcohol in them. Makes the glue loose so there is no heat needed Love the result you got! Would absolutely buy that if it was real 😁

[@TrustMeIKnowThings]

Oh I love a good depotting video! This one has a good little twist to it too! Takes me back to early days of KZbin makeup videos!

[@katehamilton7796]

Inspiring as always - I've got the chocolate bar and the sweet peach, plus a couple of the wee ones that they do so I'm hoping they're the same size pans. Cheers Kat

[@kjdang]

Yesss!!! Watching this palette be panned would be so much fun to watch!

[@martenevertse1292]

Depotting is such an amazing thing i love doing and seeing it

[@rabbiroz3806]

Anytime, I do de-potting, with or without heat, I lose many mattes.

[@montana1080]

Really? I don’t lose any eyeshadows. I deconstruct the palette as much as I can first.

[@kerrid.979]

Yay! I'm glad you liked the finished palette, and that you didn't have to dig into the gold one.

[@Mingkittish]

I know you said you weren’t going to be doing every time you upload your Eyemageddon video’s… but I secretly hope you will be continuing these custom pallet’s creations. Because they are ver enjoyable to watch 😊

[@sylviasadventures66]

I love the palette you ended up with sooooo much I'm half tempted to depot a few of my palettes

[@AllTheHappySquirrels]

Fun idea! Your custom palette looks so much better than the originals. I don't own any Too Faced palettes, but I did this with a couple of Norvina palettes and the formula was so brittle I had a fair number of casualties that didn't really repress well. I used magnetic tape to make them into magnetic palettes so I can use them as singles or rearrange them as I want.

[@annamaybourdon8507]

i so enjoy all of your videos! I happened upon the mole shaving procedure again this morning (I am in America) and wondered how you feel four years out. I would be interested in a follow up video, and, am sure your loyal followers would too! Best to the your family, especially that adorable toddler!

[@EarthIncompatible]

Any time I depot shadows, I take one of my BD syringes (I give myself allergy shots, so I have extra needles on hand) and fill it with rubbing alcohol. I inject the alcohol between the pan and the base so it dissolves the glue between the layers. Then it's easy to pop out the pans with no damage. Just keep a towel nearby to wipe off the pans before putting them in their new home.

[@JB_Fraulein_Kunst]

Ooof yes, perfect timing! Just finished tidying up after tea and wasn't sure what to do with what's left of the evening. Got a nice glass of red, some snacks and having a nice chill out while I watch this vid. 🍷🍫🥰

[@yelenagehtin]

I frickin love these videos 🤩 so satisfying to watch 🤤 that's a great idea for a video to end eyeshadow palettes testing 👍 please continue to do these kind of videos after palette testing 🙏 I know you said you don't want to do it every time 😕 but it is really worth it 😬🥰

[@uhoh5184]

I love this series and I think the end result is very pretty :) The only way I found to repress matte shadows is to not use any alcohol at all but to grind them down really fine and press it firmly. I did this after a shade hard panned with alcohol and it salvaged it somehow

[@KitschSnitch]

I think this was too old and dry to do that sadly

[@nd4856]

Reminds me of the peanutbutter and jelly palette on the left side and I wish this color story was something they would tell tbh. The colors aren’t all the same, they make sense, they are all useful and beautiful.

[@lizhart81]

Oof, I felt it when that first matte shade broke. The only matte shades I have a 100% de-pot success rate with are MAC singles from their black plastic outer packaging (which =de-potting on easy mode). Every other time I de-pot palettes or singles there are matte casualties left, right and centre! If it's something I really like and don't want to lose, I tend not to risk it any more, and just keep the packaging as it is. Given that there aren't many really special matte shades I feel that way about, so far the extra space taken up is negligible.

[@saroya]

How are you depotting the mac singles? I don‘t use them as they are always so hard to open so I would love to get them out

[@lizhart81]

@@saroya I just popped the inner plastic part out of the lid and base using tweezers, then heated the back of that until the glue softened and it was easy to lift out the metal pan. Finally I peeled the shade name sticker from the original plastic packaging and stuck it onto the metal pan.

[@kendradiane8262]

I love the palette you customized. It would make me feel more inspired to use it

[@makaylapaulone6693]

That’s a beautiful color story!

[@FR-oz9px]

Thank you 😊 Needed a reminder on what I was planning to do with my maybe-pile of Nabla palettes. I only like their mattes and light shimmers.

[@tdsollog]

I don’t think it’s boring at all. It works for you and that’s what matters.

[@moctezumacadenas1510]

OMG what a hot MESS!!! And I am here for it!

[@kabs1734]

With the tool, you can dip the tip into that alcohol stuff and drop a little drop into the packaging (between the eyeshadow pan and packaging)…. Leave it a bit and then try and pop it out with the tool, it pops out with less trouble. You keep adding drops down the side and it dissolves the glue.

[@StephLyons]

Oh I love the new palette and would love to see you pan it🤗

[@KitschSnitch]

I definitely will pan it at some point in the future, I don't want to see it go but I also don't want it to go off... so I am sure I will be panned down the track.

[@LilyLewis771]

I really like these videos, it’s interesting to see which shades are my favorites and which are yours! And it gives me ideas for making my own custom/z palettes :D

[@cobaltandblack9]

I used mini swiss army knife blade (the one you put on a keychain) it's a quality steel with a very thin blade which is great at going into the flat edges of the squares. It also worked on my colourpop palettes.

[@renees3820]

Your custom palette is AMAZING! I would buy it in a heartbeat

[@melissapeirson7000]

That was very satisfying to watch and I would 100% buy your ‘boring’ palette! 😂

[@nuchzara97]

Very good idea :). That palette makes sense for my liking too. Thx

[@maddiek963]

Oh my god it’s so pretty!!

[@Katie_Woo]

The right hand side is the better version of that MAC palette Feast Your Eyes. when I do custom palettes I sway towards functional shades and cohesive layouts like this, it's so visually pleasing 10/10

[@paulathais_]

The fenty beauty sticks are magnetic and really helps removing eyeshadow from magnetic palettes

[@beautyunboxed530]

I love it when you customise your pallets. Please keep doing it. 😍

[@sarahwheeler4353]

I love the final result so much

[@BlessedLifeLoveandFaith]

I really love this! I think you did a great job. For me, I find it hard to depot if the shades are not magnetic, like a Colourpop palette. Unfortunately, I've tried this before with my Sleek palettes and it was not pleasant. But, thank you for sharing! (:

[@KitschSnitch]

yeah some palettes are harder than others, which is why I would never do it with a palette I like. The way I see this video is that if I don't depot it, I will declutter it... so anything I save is a win.

[@xpinkpyr0x]

this would be so extra, but could you do a 1 Week 1 Palette with your custom palettes from this series as the finale? Or at least this one? I would LOVE to see how you use this palette!

[@mistytells]

OMG! YESSSSS! I WANNA DO THAT!

[@bridgetdorian6126]

Watching you depoting these palettes was more exciting than any modern action movie.

[@goharmartirosyan15]

I would buy that palette all that i would want in that is a cool tone brown/ grey for that olive shade. Its basically the perfect everyday palette for me

[@KitschSnitch]

Yeah there are some gaps that I would have loved to fill with olive and cooler toned shades, but I was limited haha

[@celinaantony914]

I might have to go do this with all mine!

[@christineg6123]

Love this new frankenpalette you made!

[@beque3668]

I've really enjoyed watching you depot and customise your own palettes! Watching your PML one inspired me to do the same!

[@TheMissBeki]

Honestly, it really didn't look boring. It looked freakin practical. I love what you did here .. It's giving me ... thoughts :) Love youse

[@Rainbopagn]

For future reference: sit the palette on the table prior to prying or depotting 😂😂 it’ll be a bit sturdier that way

[@KitschSnitch]

Sturdier yes, but harder to show on camera. Sadly not everything is so logical when you’re trying to keep things in frame without blocking the camera 😊

[@mrssabre2946]

I love these kind of videos

[@peggys4038]

I'd suggest using a flat tool instead of a round punch. Fits in the spaces easier and does less damage to the shadow. I have done that with some Mac shades before so I could use them in a custom palette, instead of the little pots. Love this idea and will be doing this with my Too Faced palettes!

[@KitschSnitch]

I'm just working with tools I already have :)

[@Lillogicaallegria]

I definitely would buy your FrankenFace palette over any previous single ones. Good job girl!

[@Tylersmakeupcorner]

I love this kind of vid so much!

[@ocdgirl115]

I wish all eyeshadow palettes were magnetic so we could customize to our heart's content. It's something I was thinking about recently since I have so many too faced and TBH I rarely use them

[@eimajffoh]

This feels like mubu. I’m so glad to be watching! Much love.

[@inesalmeidabraz]

I would buy this palette! Like..right now! Loving this series

[@anaquezia5532]

The custom palette reminds me of the Nars Bijoux palette!

[@Naedlj]

Woohoo! I’m packing, I’m stressed, I’m recovering from the flu and I NEED THIS!

[@karishmadesai1408]

When I depotted my TF Chocolate Bar palette, I also ended up accidentally destroying the Salted Caramel shade. There was one salvageable chunk and the rest was crumbled. I set aside the chunk and put it in an empty mini powder jar, just in case repressing wasn't going to work. But I did manage to repress the crumbled parts by crushing them into a fine powder and then doing the whole alcohol and pressing thing. It works just as good as the chunk that wasn't repressed. Same thing happened with the white chocolate shade. I know I had that hard pan issue with an Inglot shadow that broke when I was moving a few years ago. Parts of it came out and I tried to repress it on top of the rest of the pan that still had eyeshadow like you did with the Salted Caramel shade. The parts that were repressed had extreme hard pan and were ruined. So I think the key might be that it needs to be completely crushed and pressed on its own. But just a hunch. Either way, you ended up with a gorgeous custom palette. And I agree, the Chocolate Gold is the best!

[@lilspod]

LOVE THIS! It looks great Kat 😍

[@nycapplesJH]

I love these!

[@TrustMeIKnowThings]

Mattes are always best repaired via dry repress. Chopping it up really fine, to a loose powder type of consistency, then placing it back into its pan. Lay your tissue/paper towel down, then use an empty pan that’s the same size to press very firmly/evenly. It takes a bit of force, to press it so it rebinds. I know you guys do a ton of repressing on beauty news, but I wanted to reiterate it for anyone who encounters this situation themselves.

[@Naedlj]

I wish all palettes came with the little hole in the back that makes it easy to pop them out. Like the Natasha Denona palettes.

[@KitschSnitch]

I agree, but those extra features cost more and generally makeup artists brands do it (because they encourage customisation and replacing used up shades), but most consumer brands don't want people deconstructing their palettes haha

[@Naedlj]

@@KitschSnitch You’re definitely right! Thank you for the comment! I just geeked out a bit when I saw it! Love ya!

[@paulathais_]

I really enjoy customizing palettes! I did with my colourpop ones !

[@han__nya]

You shouldn't use alcohol to repress mattes, they almost always get hard pan as a result. You should try dry pressing it, as in grounding the eyeshadow finely and repressing it without alcohol.

[@KitschSnitch]

In my experience they rarely get hard pan, but I suppose it just comes down to the formula. I’m not too invested in these eyeshadows so whatever happens happens 😊

[@swethatelkar85]

When you mentioned about making your own palette in the previous video, I thought I wish I could she is now 😉

[@Amber86queenbee]

I couldn’t help but wonder what it smells like now 😉 this was helpful as I want to do it to my chocolate bar to keep only marzipan

[@tiiti2003]

Love the palette you made😍

[@jenniferjsaracino]

There are tome I want to do this with all my collection, if only it was easier to do!

[@KitschSnitch]

It isn't that hard (it was harder to do while showing it on camera) but it just takes some practice. I wouldn't recommend doing it with eyeshadows you love, but if you have a few palettes that you are on the fence about keeping or that you want to get rid of, they might be a good place to practice.

[@marylove909]

Thank you, Kat!!!

[@bethandavies1905]

I love the palette! I get what you're saying about it being boring but I'd use it every day.

[@katia.luna213]

SATISFYING 💜💜💜

[@JoannaSelvan]

I just find colour and light to dark gradient makes so much more sense when it comes to eyeshadow palettes. Most palettes have colours in a random order and while it makes colour story look more interesting it definitely is not user friendly. Your finished palette may be boring but it is good type of boring. It is just cohesive. For sure it will make creating looks easier :) I think I might need to do this with my Norvina pro palettes.

[@LuvLeahMe]

Nice job💜

[@judyaguinada3235]

The final result reminds me a little of the too faced cinnamon swirl palette

[@KitschSnitch]

Minus all the pink... I hate pink and TF is notorious for always adding in pink haha

I love the way you laid out the colors. The way most makeup companies decide to organize palettes makes my autistic brain want to explode.
