If you are a budding makeup artist from India and have absolutely no idea what the experts use, you have landed on just the right page. We have been there, boo. Splurging on high-end products only to be disappointed and met with zero colour payoff and a tonne of fallouts, not to forget patchy pigments that don't give the right amount of professionalism to our makeup looks. Let me tell you, the solution to all your woes is right here in this article. Today we will discuss all the makeup palettes needed by budding professional makeup artists that will hopefully not have them look any further.
The first thing I learned trying to do makeup that looks professional is: You absolutely can't spend money on the wrong brands. Forget those youtube tutorials or those palettes beauty gurus "swear by" that are "cult favourites". You need versatile products that will suit many people without breaking your bank or ending up in not-up-to-the-mark results. While you are a self-taught beginner, no one expects you to spend 6000 on one palette. Instead, research and invest in good products that will last you quite a while without making your work look any less professional.
Here are 10 palettes for you to invest in that are versatile, affordable and get the job done every single time. Not to mention, they look nothing short of HD makeup and can easily help you achieve both normal and HD eye-makeup looks.
Keep in mind, with so many dupes of these palettes in the market, it can be tempting to believe certain e-commerce platforms are selling authentic quality items at a much lower price, however that is not the case. Make sure to buy makeup from online stores that guarantee authenticity even if it costs you a little more. I will follow up each product with links to online stores that sell authentic makeup to keep you safe and make each penny you invest, count.
Best Versatile: UCANBE Mirror Palette
Ranging from soft neutrals to popping bold colours to dark smokey shades, this palette has pretty much everything to create most, if not all kinds of makeup looks. The shades in the square pans in the middle of the palette can be used as both transitional shades for eye makeup and even as blush and highlighters for the face. The palette has both matte and shimmer shades and even some pressed glitters. The shades are intensely pigmented and silky in texture and blend like a dream.
Price: INR 2899 (Look out for discounts)

2. Best Alternative: UCANBE Pretty All Set
Although not exactly just as versatile, this is, however, an excellent palette to get your job done. It has neutrals, bold and dark shades and even shades that can be used as blush, highlight and contour. There are both matte and soft shimmer shades and some pressed glitters as well. However, the neutral colours have more of a terracotta tone and will not exactly work your way if you want cool-toned nude looks. The pigmentation is simply amazing, however, the only con is you have to store it in a very secure dry place. Due to the packaging not being the best kind, the gaps between the folds of the palette will easily allow mold to grow in the pans and your money would go down the drain halfway through. So store the palette in an airtight container to keep it safe.

3. Best Nude: UCANBE 60 Colours Luxury Gathering Palette
This palette has 60 amazing shades for you to create any and every neutral-toned look. From neutral pinks to browns to gold, terracotta and even some smokey grey shades, you can depend on this palette to create any subtle look no matter the complexion or undertone of your client.
However, this might be a bit challenging to get your hands on, since Purplle is the only site as of now, selling this palette in authentic quality.

4. Best Colourful: Beauty Glazed Pastel Paradise Eyeshadow Palette
This is one of the few palettes that will seldom have you worry about the right colours. It contains mattes, shimmers and even pressed glitters. The pastel shades especially are unparalleled, to say the least. You also get some really intense and vibrant colours in this palette which is perfect for party looks. There are also three bigger pans that hold shades that can be used as highlight, blush and contour.

5. Best Glitter - Kingdom Of Lashes Delightful Surprise Glitter Palette
This palette from the Kingdom of Lashes is probably one of the few palettes available that have a shade of pressed glitter for any and every makeup look. This is especially a blessing if your client likes a lot of sparkles. The brand also has several loose eye glitters that range from ultra-fine to seriously chunky. You can always go to their website and choose your own affordable glitter shades as well as some of the best false eyelashes. They also have a collection of neon liners so consider them your go-to brand for all things extra.
Price: INR 2990

These were my favourite most pigmented eye palettes that I have witnessed professionals use. We hope they will help you gain momentum in your journey of becoming a makeup artist and a damn good one at that.
