Depotting Mac Eyeshadows


So, I shared that I recently purchased some new MAC Eyeshadows but I had some other MAC Eyeshadows that came in the full case and wanted to add them to the new palette.  Youtube is a wealth of information so I researched out to depot MAC Eyeshadows and a tutorial came up of how to do this without using heat.  There were some tutorials that show the use of heat but I think this can ruin the eyeshadow.  So I made a quick run to Home Depot and picked up a wire cutter (this was the only tool I was missing).  Below is the steps and end result….

Old Eyeshadow Case


Remove the color from the main base by using a nail file at the clasp (it pops out quite easily)

Use the wire cutter and snip the corners of the base with the color and peal back to reveal
the pan




Dab the nail file in the Isopropyl Alcohol and slide under the unsealed area going
going between the eyeshadow pan - this will release the glue

I added the above colors to my new Clear Cover MAC Eyeshadow Palette
