Who knew when I created the Stick With It® palette it would morph into a multi-purpose, multi-useful little case! This video demonstrates using the Stick With It® as a portable painters palette.
This use can be very handy for artists that work with acrylic and watercolor paints. Also, it sure is a great way to mix makeup foundation and concealers. Not only is this handy for mixing, but now you can reserve your product by closing the lid- Tah Dah!!

In my testing we did mix a variety of water-based paints and glues directly on the sticky surface without harm. Once the product dries it washed off with warm soapy water or it just peeled right off. On my site you can look here and scroll down to see #2 that lists the products we tested, and some that we don't recommend that can damage the surface.

For a super easy and convenient way to clean up your case you can use palette paper, parchment paper or vellum paper. Simply place the paper on to the Clingfinity® surface, mix away and when ready for clean up, peel the paper off and throw away. On my Store page I do offer a custom-cut packet of vellum paper that fits perfectly into your case. 

Enjoy!

I created the Stick With It Palette to help me organize and store my eyeshadows and blush pans without the hassle of magnets. However, people are discovering other uses for the palette! Here are some ideas and our latest video that may spark ideas for you.

Any componentry will stick! Use the palette in the open position as a temporary surface to work from. Set in your individual clamshells of makeup, pop open the lids and go to town using it as an easy, accessible palette.  I had a flight attendant tell me she did not want to empty out her makeup bag on the airplane bathroom countertop, so she sets her items on the palette. Because it clings, she did not have to worry about things falling onto the floor. 

Here double-ended makeup brushes and stainless steel implements stay secure (no worries, the brush bristles will not stick to the surface). Use a palette to keep hair clips, bobby pins and plastic combs handy and sanitary.

Need easy access to office supplies? I keep mine in the car. If you are into arts and crafts that require storing beads, crystals or any small parts the palette is ideal for these projects.  Enjoy the video and please share your ideas!

I've recently teamed up with my friend's daughter, Kiley to create instruction videos on how to use and clean your Stick With It palette, as well as how to depot your makeup. She's 13 and and already a pro at shooting and editing. Plus, she's a budding beauty blogger. Here's our first video on how to depot.

We recently spoke to professional makeup artist Erin Winter to learn a few of her favorite tips & tricks. Here are three gems:

1. Start with good quality brushes. The tools you use will only enhance the makeup's ability.
2. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Yes, even if you have oily skin (use an oil control lotion). You want to give the foundation something to stick to so it soaks a little into the skin and keeps you looking youthful and glowing!
3. Go bold for a night out! Try a new shade of lipstick or an eyeshadow you normally wouldn't wear, I guarantee you will get compliments!

Thanks for the tips Erin! And if you're interested, visit Erin's website at www.erinwinter.com for a look at her incredible work in fashion magazines!
