Abstract: A cosmetic palette for retaining a cosmetic component includes a base and a non-metallic retention layer. The base includes a first side and an opposing second side. The retention layer is secured to and covers at least a portion of the first side. The retention layer removably secures the cosmetic component to inhibit movement of the cosmetic component relative to the first side. The retention layer is devoid of any predetermined locations that are adapted to secure the cosmetic component. Further, the retention layer can retain a cosmetic component that is formed from plastic or metal. The cosmetic palette can include a removable rim that is positioned so that a portion of the retention layer is positioned directly between the rim and the first side of the base. The retention layer can be formed from a plastic material or a vinyl compound.
