Acrylic mixing palettes are lightweight and clear, so you can see colors against your skin or a surface, and foldable versions pack easily. Stainless steel palettes feel sturdier and have a smooth metal surface. Both work for mixing foundation and cream products; the better choice depends on whether you care more about portability or a heavier, metal feel.
