#HOW TO USE MAC PRO PALETTE LARGE 2 INSERT MAC#
If you're planning on buying inserts, I'm sure the MAC eyeshadows will be a little more secure, but if you aren't, I wouldn't recommend putting your eyeshadows in this palette - unless you are extremely careful. The palette is very well crafted and I don't find it overly heavy for travel.īottom line - I think this is a great palette for every product, except for eyeshadows without the insert. $24 might seem like a lot, but you're basically getting two palettes in one, so I think it's pretty justifiable. I think the overall quality of the palette is really good and worth the price tag. Without the insert in the old MAC palette, it holds 26 eyeshadows - so I don't find it to be significant enough to make the change. Even with the inserts, it will hold 30 eyeshadows. Holding 48 MAC Eyeshadows in one palette is like a dream to me, but to me it's not worth the risk of breaking eyeshadows, so I don't think I'll be going the route of using one of these to store my eyeshadows in. I wish MAC would have put that aspect into consideration and made the magnet stronger. With this duo palette, half of the shadows would be stored upside down, and there is plenty of space for them to fall. It's not any less strong than the old MAC palette, but with the old MAC palette, once shut, there wouldn't be any space for any of the shadows to fall out. I put some eyeshadows in the palette to show you, and they didn't feel very secure. I wouldn't doubt it one bit as the magnet isn't super strong. It hasn't fallen out, but I won't doubt it would with lots of handling.įrom every review I've read on this particular palette, those who decided to fill it up with eyeshadows have had eyeshadows fall out and land on the clear divider lid, and have sometimes broken.

I only have one pro pan blush, and the hold is super weak. The larger magnets also have a stronger hold than some of the smaller magnets. Many of my magnets are cut out from business magnets (you know, the ones businesses give you to stick on your fridge) and I found that the thicker the magnet was, the much stronger hold it has to the palette. Most of my blushes are depotted, which means I have my own magnets on them. Sometimes I have trouble with it, which can be slightly annoying, but you can just tilt the palette to get the divider to swing to the other side.
If you have nails, the clear middle divider is easy to lift up. Nevertheless, it does hold 8 blushes with a little shifting around.
What dissapointed me about the duo palette is because it's slightly shorter, it doesn't hold 8 blushes nicely and uniform like the old palette. The old palettes held 8 blushes side by side with no divider. It shuts with a magnetic closure, which is really nice. Some may find it to be bulky, but I love the fact that the palette is deeper than the old palettes, so there are no issues closing it, unlike the older MAC palettes. The palette itself is slightly shorter in length than the old style palettes and almost three times the height. I never use the inserts on any of my palettes, so I took the route of skipping purchasing any inserts for the time being to see how I like the palette as is. So, if you were to purchase the palette and two inserts, it would cost you $43. You have the option of purchasing a 15-eyeshadow insert, 6-blush insert, 12-customizable insert (usually for cream foundations, concealers, etc) and 24-customizable insert (for lipsticks and other cream products). For example, you could turn it into an every-day palette and put blushes, bronzers, etc on one side and eyeshadows on the other.Īll of the inserts are sold separately, and they all retail for $9 each. What's cool about this palette is that you can customize it any way you want. It has a see-through lid/divider so you can view all of your shades at once while keeping them secure and protected. MAC Large/Duo Pro Palette MAC Large Duo Pro Palette ($25) is a new double-sided pro palette that accommodates two inserts.
