Mixing palettes

In their work, makeup artists often use the technique of combining different shades and textures to achieve the desired makeup effect. To do this, special cosmetic mixing palettes are needed. They are lightweight, compact, and convenient to take with you for on-site services. You can order them right now on the website. Zola mixing palettes are available in a variety of options — different sizes, shapes, and colors.

Why this accessory is in demand

Mixing cosmetics is a common technique among MUAs. Artists do this to achieve the desired shades and depth of color. In addition, mixing helps create a convenient texture for working with products.

All these manipulations require a texture mixing palette. Its versatility allows you to use it for mixing any formulas, whether it’s eyebrow tint, foundation, or decorative cosmetics. These accessories are a must-have for every makeup artist — often more than one — allowing them to work quickly with different products and colors. 

Varieties and differences

The palettes for cosmetics come in a wide range of types. Right now on the Zola website, you can order the following options:

• smooth ones — in the shape of a heart or lips;
• plastic palettes with wells for products;
• silicone mats — flexible and soft;
• with a finger hole for comfortable use.

They come in various sizes, so you can choose a foundation mixing palette or others for either studio use or carrying with you. There are small models that fit easily into a makeup bag.

Benefits of using palettes

Makeup artist palettes help solve three main problems:

• convenience when combining different types of cosmetics — no need to look for a container or try to mix products directly on the brush;
• compliance with sanitary and hygiene standards during makeup application;
• comfort while working — by placing all necessary products on the palette, there’s no need to hold multiple items of different shades and purposes in your hands.

Moreover, using a palette helps protect cosmetics from premature spoilage caused by oxidation, which often happens when bottles or palettes are left open for too long. With a special mixing mat, you can immediately portion out the required amount of product and close the main container.

It’s also worth noting that the cosmetic mixing palette itself is made from a hypoallergenic, chemically neutral material. It doesn’t affect the product formula or alter its key properties.

Features and nuances of working with a palette

Mixing palettes are very easy to use and don’t require special skills or knowledge. To work with them, simply place a small amount of product nearby, mix it with a brush, and proceed with your makeup.

Models with wells are more practical, as they allow you to create several combinations of shades and products separately. Thus, a foundation mixing palette can also be used for eyeshadows, lipstick, or tint. After use, simply wash it, dry it, or wipe it well with tissues. There are no special storage requirements — palettes can be kept in a drawer or makeup bag.
