Paw Palettes in a nutshell!

Paw Palettes are the worlds first hand-free makeup mixing palettes. All hand crafted in Southern California by a makeup artist that needed it, me. Made with a high grade acrylic called Lucite, a non-porous, non-staining material which is highly durable and ultra glossy.



THE PROCESS:

1st we cut sheets of acrylic into our cute shapes, then we hand sand the edges, then buff the edges, then polish the edges and then, yes there's more, we take and place protective paper on the side that is non-porous. The logo is then engraved onto the underside. Now they are ready to have the back piece (which holds the strap or magnet) machined on.



Once everything is cured, we then place straps in each Paw, close the strap and place a pyramid stud near the end, then the excess of strap is cut and fired by a BIC lighter so the ends have less fray.



Somewhere in between the last 2 steps, we stamp each Paw on the protective paper, basic instructions on how to use & clean your Paw.



Finally, we clean all of our fingerprints off with a special cloth and send them off to their new homes.



--Our super comfortable straps are outsourced from another Californian company!



THE PAWS:

There are 2 basic versions of the Paw Palettes and many shapes & colors to with.



1st version-Regular- The Paw Palette has a strap attached to itself.



2nd version-magnetic- The Paw Palette has a magnet attached to its underside & is detachable from the strap which also has a magnetic property. The 2 magnetic properties join together to create a bond strong enough to pull up to 4 pounds. Hairdressers seem to love holding their bobby-pins this way. The magnets I use are made with rare earth minerals making them incredibly light, but with strong pull force, keeping the Paws at a comfortable weight. These magnets are special in a way that no matter how many times you drop them (not recommended), they will never loose their strength. This version is also interchangeable with other magnetic Paws.



We also have Baby Paws, which are essentially smaller versions of the glorious regular Paws. They are also on adjustable metal bands that fit any size finger, rings!
