Chic of the Week: Tessa's DIY Makeup Palette

Oct 19, 2012 at 8:00am by LaurenConrad.com


Here at the LC.com offices, we're always looking for fun DIY projects to try post office hours or on lazy Sunday afternoons. While we admit that we have a guilty pleasure for Lauren's Crafty Creations and all things Pinterest, some of our favorite craft inspirations come from our very own LaurenConrad.com members. Enter: Tessa J., our latest Chic of the Week! Tessa's DIY makeup palette is a pretty project that's simple too...

We love how Tessa took a regular object--a CD case--and recycled it into something lovely and entirely different. To create this makeup palette, she removed the contents of an old CD case, glued scrapbook paper to the inside, then attached an old compact mirror and drugstore eye shadows to the inside of the case. Tessa's innovative thinking inspires us to see things in a whole new (crafty) way.

Congrats Tessa!

Would you try recreating this pretty palette? Do you have a creative DIY a la Tessa?

      I love this DIY idea! Very creative! I had a ton of old CD cases, but sadly, I already disposed of them..if I can find anymore leftover, I'll have to keep this project in mind :-)


      And, congrats to Tessa on chic of the week! Well deserved!

      What a creative idea! Your very own personalized palette! Mary Kay make up is like this too, (you can buy a palette & switch out your colors) but it's a little pricy! This is awesome! Good job, Tessa!
