MAC FAQ: Palettes and Pan-form products
What are palettes?
MAC palettes are slim, black, hard plastic cases that can house multiple pans of eye shadow, blush or sheer shimmer powder.
What palettes are available through MAC?
MAC makes three types of palettes at this time, 4 pan eye shadow, 15 pan eye shadow, and six pan blush. MAC in the past made an 8 pan large eye shadow, when the company still produced eye shadows in both a large and small size. The price for these items seems to vary depending on location, however the prices when purchased through the 1-800 number for MAC are: - 4 pan eye shadow $3.50
- 15 pan eye shadow $12.50
- 6 pan blush $14.50
What is a pan-form blush/eye shadow?
All eye shadows and blushes that are part of the permanent line with MAC are available in PRO pan form. This means that the product is not housed in the normal flip-top compact as you are used to seeing at the stores and counters, but rather is just the little metal pan that houses the pressed product itself. PRO pan form products are sold in a small cardstock sleeve, and have a magnet and label on the back. PRO pan labels state the color and batch number, but do not indicate texture as the labels on the pots do.
The prices for pan form items are: - PRO pan eye shadow $10.00
- PRO pan blush $14.50
- PRO pan blushcreme $14.50

Pro Palette Question
I want to start depoting my eyeshowes but before I do I was wondering if the whole palette is magnetic or is just the bottom where the eyeshaows go? I wanted to get magnetic strips to put on the inside of the lid to label my eye shadows.

Due to the height of the mineralize products, there are not palettes which will accomidate them.

That's what I thought. MAC should really come out with one though.

question about the 800#:
What is the right number to call from the US, and can anyone call it to order?
I need to buy some 15 palettes soon.
Thank you!
edit: nevermind, I found it myself. And for those that wonder, yes, anyone can call the number to order. I ordered a few 15 palettes from them last Friday.
The number and times available:
1-800-387-6707 available Monday through Friday 9:00am - 5:00pm Eastern Time

Can you get a pan-form eyeshadow anywhere? Even a MAC counter?

Great deal if you don't live up here though.

I believe that MAC PRO and ordering via the PRO hotline charges a flat shipping rate, however I do not recall what it is.

I'm a total newbie so no one kill me...
The palettes and the shadows themselves are sold separately? Like, you can't just buy a set of, for example, neutral colored shadows in a palette?
