What are the most versatile palettes for a MuA kit. I have a hard time building my own because I never know which colors I might need or may never use. I'm trying to be frugal yet shop effectively. Help?!
Coastal Scents palettes are really nice, because they're cheap with a huge variety of shades and finishes! Also, the "freedom system" at Inglot is perfect for building your kit!
Coastal scents palettes are great for building your kit! I love the neutral palette because it goes well with everyone's skin tone and has an amazing amount of colors.
Costal scents is good. They have a palette with all colors! So it's great to have in your kit. Also get a matte color palette with basic colors such as whites& browns! Loreal & Sonia kashuk have great palettes with all matte shades for blending... Now if you can spend the money go with urban decay's palettes!
I love the stila in the light palette! It's mostly neutrals, but there is a gorgeous blue shade thrown in. It is a good mix of sparkle and matte. The shadows are so soft and creamy feeling. It's pricey, but worth the money!
As a MUA it's good to have a little bit of everything- From neutrals (most requested for weddings) to fun vibrant colors for edgier events such as fashion photo shoots. All brands mentioned are very good.
Look into the Shany Cosmetics 7 layer palette has ! It has 5 trays of eyeshades (about the size of a Quarter each ) of a variety of colors in addiction to a concealer palette with tons of different skin tones and a contour/ blush palette . Haven't tried the contour blush but can honestly really recommend the rest of course with a good eyeshadow base ! It's around 60 $

I'm crazy about my BH palettes. I have the
Party Girl palette and the Smokey Eyes palette. A bunch of amazing neutrals in both.
