Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present to you… my MAGNETIC PALETTE COMPARISON! I know there are other options out there. I also have a bunch from MAC and one from MORPHE but these three are my favorites.
XL Z PALETTE ($28)- this is probably the most popular magnetic palette. It holds 35 regular eyeshadow pans and about* 18 large pans. *There’s more variation in the diameters of large pans. So it might hold 18 MUFE pans but only 16 SAUCEBOX pans.
PROS:
*LIGHTWEIGHT
*CLEAR LID
*SOLD BY MANY RETAILERS
CONS:
*PRICE
*SIZE
NARS CUSTOMIZABLE PALETTE ($18)- I hardly ever see people using these palettes and I’m not sure why?? They hold 46 standard pans and about 23 larger pans. These are sold on the NARS WEBSITE (don’t forget ebates!). I’m not sure if they’re sold anywhere else.
PROS:
*PRICE
*LIGHT WEIGHT
*SIZE
CONS:
*NOT AS STURDY
*BLACK LID
XL MUFE PALETTE ($14)- the highly sought MUFE palette holds 54 (!) regular pans and approximately 28 large pans. These are sold on SEPHORA’S WEBSITE and in some MUFE STORES. They’re always sold out at SEPHORA. Always!
PROS:
*PRICE
*SIZE
CONS:
*HEAVY AND BULKY
*HARD TO FIND
*BLACK LID
I hope you found this helpful! You should definitely check out the NARS palettes if you haven’t already. The design is much more sleek than the MUFE palettes and they hold nearly as much. Also Z PALETTES are kind of a rip off when you break it all down like this.
Now I’m going to attempt to organize my single shadow collection. Again. Wish me luck!
Yeah but on mine the 8 don’t fit across only 7

Weird. I don’t know. Maybe they changed the dimensions slightly?

Yeah most likely sucks that’s why I bought it 😂

I bought the large NARS pallet and mine can’t fit the 46 eye shadows

Hmmm… well you can see how mine are arranged in the top pic. The bottom 2 rows are slightly staggered
