If you want to press your own pigments into pans, where do you get the empty pans that fit into the MAC palette?

I (and a friend of mine) each ordered the same day from ecrater.com (previously suggested by other people on this board), and though it took a couple weeks to get here (we also live in Canada and they were coming from the states), they are so nice and uniform, clean and shiny!! They fit PERFECTLY whereas yaby pans are apparently a few mm smaller than MAC pans.

Here's the link: http://starauctions.ecrater.com/
I'm totally recommending them to any and everyone. So easy too, I just paid through Paypal.

Good luck, have fun!

I remember reading a tutorial on here where someone bought one of those 12-15-18-something pallettes from Claire's. She just scraped out the shadow and used the pans.

I actually found a 21-pan pallette at Claire's (that I had to buy because it was $10). I depotted it, put in my MAC, NYX, and others and saved and cleaned out some of the pans and saved them for later.

Hope this helps!

Just keep in mind the Yaby ones are 20mm in diameter, which is 6 mms smaller than MAC's (26mm) so if you use Yaby's I'm told there is going to be a gap, whereas above the ones from Ecrater are the same size as MAC's and fit perfectly into the palettes!
