Hi just a question going to buy the larger of the graftobian found palette, which would I get the most use out of in general lets say. I looking to do a variety of things film print etc. It comes in cool warm and neutral which do you think is the most versitale and that I will get a lot of use from. If I need to I'll buy two but I can't swing all three at once.

Hi Mallory, I am a professional makeup artist and I follow a lot of the best of the best professionals in the industry. Kevin Bennett who is a professional posts his tops picks and I printed out the sheet and on there he talked about the "graftobian" foundation. He recommends the 18 color super palettes in warm and neutral (skip cool).

Hope this helps.

I adore the Graftobian palette! I use the cool one and love it. It comes in handy in so many ways. I'm not a pro-MUA, but I saw my MUA bestie using it and bought one because of that. Since then, I'm obsessed! I like using it with their blue sponge to apply. Since it's so versatile, you probably can't go wrong if you get two of them, whichever two you end up with. Then when you get a bit more cash, spring for the third.

I def will Kim! What foundation palette, air brush etc do you use?

I am a professional makeup artist for film and television. I use the warm and cool palettes. In fact I have 2 of each. One I keep on my station and the other stays in my set bag. I tried the neutral and it is good, but the cool has a couple of colors that are invaluable when it comes to darker skintones, bronzing, correction or when the director unexpectantly wants dirt added to the actor! The neutral pallet is actually a combination of the some of the warm colors and some of the cool colors. I also use the Bobbi Brown foundation palette. For airbrush foundations I use the Temptu pods and if i am using my traditional airbrush machine, the Revlon Colorstay with MUF 246 thinner. Hope this helps!

Layna wow! So much information! Thank you so much that really helps me, I found a store not too far from me in nj that sell all the palettes so I'm going to check them out this weekend so I can swatch and play with them and have a better idea in person, but all this advice is really helping!

Hi Mallory, since I do a lot of weddings and special events, I use a variety of foundations brands. I do like the Bobbi Brown, Makeup Forever, Cinema Secrets and many other well known brands. I am always open to adding new brands in my kit.

Hey Mari its a store in westwood nj that carries a lot of pro items, its called the make up artist shop they also have a website with all their items on it. Their number is 201-383-0301 if you want to see if they have any items you may want in stock, I usually do because its a little bit of a drive for me and it sucks going there and if it may not be in stock.
