When it comes to refillable beauty products, it’s the liquid variety that usually gets the most attention. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap – we can save a lot of plastic packaging if we keep topping up bathroom dispensers instead of buying a new bottle every time, and that’s excellent news for the environment.
Make-up, on the other hand, doesn’t always spring to mind when considering sustainable lifestyle choices we can make. But did you know refillable palettes are actually a great way to reduce waste?

Because, let’s be honest, no one really uses every single shade of eyeshadow or blusher in a multi-pan set, so you always end up throwing away a bunch of product along with the case, and there’s a lot of plastic that goes into making those, plus metal if it comes with a mirror.
With a customisable, reusable set you can curate your own ideal selection and swap shades whenever you like, making it a much more eco-friendly option. To mark World Refill Day (June 16), here are four of our favourites…
1. MAC Pro Palette Eyeshadow/Concealer X6, £2.50
Create your perfect eye make-up edit with this six-pan case, which gives you the option of seven Studio Fix Concealer shades (£13.50 each) and 14 Powder Kiss Soft Matte Eyeshadow shades (£12 each).
2. Tropic Colour Palette with five trays, £68
Allowing you to choose from 13 different cream and powder products (including concealer, eyeliner, eyeshadow and highlighter) in three pan sizes, this travel-friendly palette offers tonnes of different combinations. Usually £16, the case is free when you create a complete palette, while refills start from £8.
