By introducing a blank compact which you fill with what you need and what you want, the Korean cosmetics brand has officially ended the cycle of makeup palettes that pile up unused, unsuitable, with tons of unnecessary, what-were-they-thinking colours. My Palette works in a more democratic way.
First, decide what you want in your compact. Choose from 134 colours of makeup in seven categories – eyebrow powder, eyeshadow, blusher, highlighter, contour powder, colour corrector and concealer. Then, pick the size of palette you need to hold four, eight or 18 items (a magnetic base keeps everything in place).
