That seems to be the sweet spot for getting some value out of buying multiple shades all at once, giving up the ability to customize, etc. I don't think that palettes at $100+ are "worth it" in the sense that you're getting +$50 more in quality than a great palette at $50, but I think that the right set of colors, finishes, formula, and packaging can certainly make it justifiable to someone who has the disposable income to buy it.

That seems to be the sweet spot for getting some value out of buying multiple shades all at once, giving up the ability to customize, etc. I don’t think that palettes at $100+ are “worth it” in the sense that you’re getting +$50 more in quality than a great palette at $50, but I think that the right set of colors, finishes, formula, and packaging can certainly make it justifiable to someone who has the disposable income to buy it.

I could see myself spending quite a bit on a palette if the function was there for review purposes – e.g. if a brand came out with a $500 palette but it contained all of their permanent shades so I could review them at once (and that it would be cheaper than buying the shades individually). I think the most expensive single palette I’ve purchased was Make Up For Ever’s 30th Anniversary Palette ($250), which included 30 full-sized Artist Shadows (and I intended to review the whole line).

Please respect other members of this community who may spend more or less than you. It’s about discussing and thinking about own personal limits without judgment of others’ choices nor insulting someone who does or doesn’t want to spend more or less.
