What you'll need:

*tin - I used a classic hardware tin I got off ebay really cheap!
*eyeshadows in throw away plastic containers
*a small flat heat screwdriver
*magnetic tape
*scissors








STEP TWO:

First, gather up all your eyeshadows that you use often. Start off with the ones that are sorta cheapie ones in case if you slip while getting the hang of prying them out. If you mess them up, it'll be no biggie. Carefully pry them all out (the corners are the easiest place to start at) Be patient! They'll come out! If you're having issues, try putting a hairdryer on high to soften up the glue.








STEP THREE:

Once you're all done, see if they all fit in the tin easily and kinda see how your layout will look. If they all fit fine, take them out and put them face side down. Take off all the excess glue, if there is any.









STEP FOUR:

Cut your magnetic tape to measure so its a bit smaller than each color of eyeshadow.
Remove the backing, and simply stick the adhesive side to the back, pressing firmly.









STEP FIVE:

The great thing about this is that you can do this to almost all your cosmetics, as long as they can fit in the tin! Blush, powder, eyeshadow, eyebrow filler, just about anything!

One note though, I would not do this with anything that you know is crumbly. While making this, I discovered one of my eyeshadows was very delicate and decided not to put it in the case. The rest held up incredibly well! Since everything is magnetic, you can trade anything out when you want!
