Ho to create a custom eye shadow palette with a pencil case

Is your makeup stash out of control? Are you having trouble finding the right product because there are so many little items to sift through? If you answered yes to either one of these questions, then it's time to create a system that works.

Eye shadow palettes are wonderful because all of the colors are in one location. You can create your own palette at home by using a pencil case. Pick up a magnetic sheet at your local office supply store, then cut it to fit inside your case. It costs a lot less than a store-bought magnetic palette, and you can fit different size pans inside, too.

Materials
- Pencil case
- Adhesive-backed magnetic sheet
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Individual eye shadow pans

1. Lay the pencil case on top of the magnetic sheet with the paper side up. Position the case in the corner, then use a pencil to outline the two remaining sides.

2. Use the scissors to cut out the magnet.

3. Peel the paper backing off the magnet, then firmly press it into the pencil case. Tip: You may need to trim the sides slightly to make it fit properly.

4. Place eye shadow pans into the case.

No more rifling through drawers in search of your favorite color. Enjoy your new palette!
