Sugarpill Pro Palette — $20
This is more of a “customize your own palette,” but we highly suggest taking a look at Sugarpill’s pressed shadows. Their true matte white, “Tako,” and matte black, “Bulletproof,” are cult favorites in the makeup world and absolute must-haves.
Apocalyptic Beauty Cosmetics “Vacations in Hell” Collection — $56
