Hey! I want to do bridal/ special occasion/ and everyday make-up for all different skin types and shades of women, what is a really good make-up kit to by in whole? or is it better to buy individual pieces??????

I find it better to buy seperately, as pre-made kits don't cater to all skin-types, colors or application needs. You may get a few good staples from buying a pre-made kit from one brand, but you'll be lacking in some areas w/ the other useless items they add on to jack up the price. Figure out what your target demographic is VS. what type of clients you'll probably be able to bring in realistically as your first few projects. You can use that as a starting point to guide you in what you need and don't need. Hope that helps.  =)

Try Coastal Scents' website they have a blush palette and concealer palette, both of which contain shades for every skin tone. The 88 warm palette would be good for bridal makeup.

NYX has pre-mad starter kits as well as ELF too... Thats if you want it to be a one stop shop.

Sleek to a starter kit at a good price but their PR is poor they never bother to reply to people in my experience. I have built my kit with some MAC essentials such as foundation, basic shadows and concealers + some drug store products too like the 120 palette and GOSH Primer etc :)

NYX, E.L.F. and Coastal Scents definitely have great palettes for starters. I love NYX's sets because they also look great! Just pick the sets with the most colors you'll use.
