While many makeup palettes are large and rectangular in shape, the slender design of the palette case is especially travel-friendly. The case can be fitted with [individual product pans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adapt-collection) for everything from eyeliner and eyeshadow to bronzer, concealer and setting powder, and four case configurations are available. In all, there are 50 [refillable makeup products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/411-cosmetics) that can be added to the palette case, offering a possible 734 million custom combinations. Additionally, at the end of their usable life, the [aluminum pan trays can be recycled](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suqqu).
