The exact video I've been looking for!!! Like I just want to be able to swoosh my brush through the finishing powders and not worry about hitting a blush on the bottom row and oh look a random bronzer 🥴🙈

[@melbygrace]

Thank you for watching! This was a concern for me as well. Let me know how it goes for you.

Just found your channel and love your approach to products. I own very few palettes because I depot everything to make singles in large empty morphe palettes (I have about 15 of those). I bought the tiger edit, and wish it had a face powder for my medium skintone (i use the brown as bronzer..)

[@melbygrace]

Thank you sincerely for stopping by and for commenting. It means a lot to me. I am still playing with Tiger. It can be great in the summer but I am so very pale compared to my sunscreen free youth. 🤭 My fave powder is soft light and I always wish it came in a single.

I love this video. Out of all the depotting videos this was the most informative. Would you be able to do another video trying to take the dividers off the metal palette? Like TooFaced Kitty Likes To Scratch Palette. Or any other metal palette. I want the whole thing off. Can you figure out the best way to do it and show us a video how to? Would appreciate.

[@melbygrace]

Thank for taking the time to comment! I am glad my content helped you out. I have a second way I am depotting the hourglass. I hope to film and put up that video shortly. I could do a too faced possibly. The concern would be where they are made. If PRC, I do not find it to be worth the time. They break and the destruction is real. 🫣 Let me do some research and I will reply again. I would want to find one for cheap on Mercari to test my theories 😆

[@melbygrace]

@DrDropDeadAwesome I picked up Kitty Likes to Scratch. Working on a video now.

Do you think hair dryer will work at low speed?

[@melbygrace]

I do! I would do medium heat and more time to make sure that you really melt that glue.

[@ashleyr1886]

Great video! Do u have any links for the exacto knife or thin depotting tool?

[@melbygrace]

I definitely do! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/23QHRGFV69BEW?ref_=wl_share Thank you for watching and kindly commenting. I do not make any money from this link. I just made a list so that the items can be found easily

@@melbygrace I literally googled how to depot hourglass and this came up so I subscribed. Great timing

[@mercy7988]

@@melbygrace I wish they would stop putting the dim powders in the palettes and would do all blushes, and strobes haha

[@melbygrace]

@@mercy7988 I wish that they would do one dim powder in each palette but you could select that item. Even if the rest of the new is already set blushes, etc. I wear soft light and it is not sold as a single. I will use the one that I depotted until it is gone and then it will not repurchase. Laura Mercier has a candle glow powder that comes as a single and works just as well. I have Tiger coming today. You can check my IG next week if i depot/re organize.

[@melbygrace]

@@mercy7988 I googled and when I couldn’t find an answer, I researched as far as I could and then risked it

[@ae2948]

why are they different sizes at 20:20 ? I thought there were only 2 sizes - the mini/palette size, and the "full" size singles.

[@melbygrace]

Great question! There are actually 3 sizes in the squares. The quad/6 pan size, the 3 pan size, and the singles (full sized) and possibly the mini singles for a fourth (I don’t have a mini single. Cannot be sure on that one) It was frustrating because I thought they could all kinda arrange/rearrange. No dice.
