Artistic Mix Palette | Mix + Layer + Create + Stainless Steel Pro Artist Palette

What is a mixing palette used for?

A mixing palette is where you blend and hold cream product before it touches a face — foundation, concealer, cream blush, lip color. Bodyography's stainless steel palette and spatula set lets you decant from the pan, mix a custom shade, and work hygienically without ever double-dipping into your product.

Why stainless steel rather than plastic?

Stainless steel stays cool, which stops cream and liquid formulas breaking down while you work, and it sanitizes completely between clients — a wipe with Anti-Bacterial Sanitizing Spray and you're clean. It also won't scratch, stain, or hold onto pigment the way plastic does over years of use.

Does the Artistic Mix Palette come with a spatula?

No, the spatula is sold separately. Be sure to add both to cart if you want the pair. The spatula lifts product cleanly out of a pan or off a stick foundation and onto the steel, which keeps a kit hygienic across multiple faces. Both pieces are stainless steel and embossed with the Bodyography logo.

How do I hold it while I'm working?

The slim, ergonomic design cradles in the palm, leaving your fingers free for a brush. Scoop what you need with the spatula, mix with the flat edge, and keep it in your non-dominant hand as you work. Wipe between shades so the next mix stays true.

Do I need a mixing palette if I'm not a professional?

Not strictly — but it changes how long your products last. Decanting onto a palette rather than dipping a used brush into the pan keeps bacteria out of the product, and mixing two foundation shades to your exact match is far easier on cool steel than on the back of your hand.

Is Bodyography cruelty-free and vegan?

Yes — Bodyography is 100% cruelty-free and has been for over 27 years. The majority of our products are also vegan; a few contain beeswax or other animal-derived ingredients (all cruelty-free). Check individual product pages for confirmed vegan status. Cruelty-free is a non-negotiable across the brand. Certified by PETA and LEAPING BUNNY.

Where is Bodyography made, and are ingredients ethically sourced?

Bodyography is a family-owned professional cosmetics brand, headquartered in California and manufactured primarily in the United States, along with partners in S. Korea, France, Spain, Taiwan, China and Italy. We source ingredients responsibly and formulate to our own clean-beauty standards rather than to a universal checklist. What we include is just as intentional as what we leave out.

What's Bodyography's return policy on opened makeup?

We offer returns on unused products within 30 days of purchase. Because of hygiene standards, we generally cannot accept returns on opened cosmetics unless the product is defective. If your product arrived damaged or you have a formulation concern, please reach out to our customer service team — we take every message seriously and want to make it right.

How can I get a free professional shade match?

We offer free shade matching for foundation, concealer, tinted moisturizer, and more. Email us with a clear, natural-light photo of your face and neck (no makeup, no filter), and one of our team members — many of whom are working makeup artists — will match you personally. It's one of the most-used services we offer.
