Well the concealor palette included shades that are permenant, it was just it was convineint that they were all together in a palette, and also a bit cheaper than buying 3 seperate shades. In reality, you probably only need 2 different shades to customize your concealor, and you could make your own concealor palette by depoting the pans of the concealors and putting them in a refillable quad. It thought about doing it a one point and I still might. Just an idea.
