mixing palette

[mzreyes]

I have a test shoot on sunday, and I'm wondering what you all use to mix stuff on? I saw this stainless palette on camerareadycosmetics.com, but I don't really have time to order it and have it shipped. I've looked all over for petri dishes, no luck! TIA!!

Those are good. You can also go to an arts n craft store and get regular plastic paint palettes as well. As long as it isn't a pourous material like wood, it should be ok.

I have a few stainless steel palettes. Ceramic tiles (glazed ones) work well. any plastic palette from art supply stores

I use a kitchen gadget that is generally used to scrape and or scoop up chopped food ingredients while cooking. I got it at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Here's a pic.

I love it because of the size (6" x 5") and the round end handle. The square shape stores nicely in my train case. And of course because it's stainless steel, it cleans up and sanitizes very quickly and easily.

I use a sheet of glass with rounded edges or wax paper

a few of the girls in my class are fond of paper palettes for acrylic and oil paints. Also, the last Makeup Artist Magazine had a blurb about an artist who uses clear DVD cases

I use glass tiles - the ones with rounded edges, my metal palette I got from CRC or those clear CDs that sit on top of CDrw stacks - I get these from my neighbour who works at a CD pressing plant.

One girl I knew used AOL CD's she got in the mail.

i picked up a round tray with little wells at the craft store when i was picking up some art supplies for my hubby. it was like 99 cents and it works well!

Ceramic sample tiles that I got from a hardware store. They're dishwasher safe, so once I'm done, they get cleaned, disinfected, run through a pots and pans cycle and then stored.
