How to Choose a Makeup Book Palette: 3 Styles to Compare

A makeup book palette keeps several colors together in one fold-out case. Before choosing one, think about the looks you make most often and which products you want in the same palette. The three options below have different color ranges and formats.

Start with the makeup you actually use

If you mainly want more eye looks, check the number of shades and finishes. If you want one case for a fuller look, check whether the product includes colors intended for the face and lips. Read each product page and use every section only as directed on its packaging.

For eye, face and lip color in one case

Quick checklist before ordering

  • Which colors and finishes will you use regularly?
  • Do you want eye color only or a palette with face and lip sections?
  • Have you checked the current options, price and availability on the product page?
  • Have you checked the delivery estimate and total cost at checkout?

Colors can look different under different lighting and on different screens. For ideas on using a multi-page palette, read our Makeup Book Palette Guide.
