Create smooth indented surface (like image attached)

[Lyndsey_Smith]

I’m trying to make a surface that mimics this eye shadow palette. I’ve tried patch after extracting points, draping, and lofting contour topo lines but I can’t get anything this precise. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks

Have you tried displacement?

Look at this video of @BrianJ

you can aso draw the center curves of the waves then offset both sides, trim the inner parts and sweep2 with a curve which you created by blend curve. for a smoother result use quadremesh, then you have the option to use the command smooth for a finer transition.
