Which "Cheap" Pans Fit The Pro Palette?

[wmharmon]

Hi:

I want to press some piggies, but I don't have any empty pans. What drugstore brand shadows are a perfect fit for the Pro Pan Palette? I'm wondering if the new Cover Girl palette pans will. That would eliminate the need for depotting, which I've never done.

Thanks!

Annabelle pans fit MAC quads, but I'm not sure if they're sold in the states.

if you go to claire's their pans fit into mac palettes.

i agree with going to claires! i got this 21 pallet thing from icing for $10.50 (plus on there cosmetics its buy one, get the second one half off i believe) and i just scrape out all the shadows and then take the pans out with tweezers (theyre not glued in very strong, you could use your fingers if you want) clean them off and there you go! works perfectly for pressing pigments!

If you only want a few, try the refills for E.L.F quads

This is where I get my pans too. On the plus side, with these pans, they already have a magnet already attched to the pans.

Very helpful guys! Thanks a bunch!

I checked out the E.L.F. site. I'd never heard of them - thanks! Are their pans the same size as MAC though?

Yes, they are!

I use them all the time to press pigggies and then put them in the MAC palettes.

One thing that stood out to me, tho, is that Prescriptives changed theirs from round to square so they could force you to buy their containers. But this has a pretty good list of what fits what.
