Where can I get a full professional quality makeup up kit (like MAC, Sephora) for a good/discounted price?

MAC doesn't sell full kits of any sort, really. And most websites that say they sell ';complete MAC kits'; of any sort are most likely selling fakes. (Fake makeup can be VERY unsafe, because you have no idea what's in it!) If your heart is set on MAC makeup, the best way to get your hands on the inexpensive stuff would either be to get a Pro card (if you're a professional makeup artist or a model) or to check out a Cosmetics Company Outlet (or CCO).





I know Sephora puts out kits from time to time, especially their Blockbuster sets. Ulta has some really great kits too. They go on sale from time to time, or if you get on their mailing list/discount card doo-dad, those are usually good ways to score some pretty sweet discounts as well.





If you are interested in a full kit, NYX cosmetics does offer two different complete starter kits that come with makeup, a solid train case, and some brushes:

Here is a site with some swatches of their products. They're actually REALLY good, for the price.

you can check out your local CCO (cosmetic company outlet), they sell MAC, clinique, and other pricey brands @at discounted prices. but they have a limited variety of things, they usually get extra items that get stocked up @MAC stores, i think. but i buy alot of my MAC over @the CCO's. hope that helped :)Where can I get a full professional quality makeup up kit (like MAC, Sephora) for a good/discounted price?
For professional quality and a good range of industry-standard colours and products, I would try Camera Ready Cosmetics:

They sell complete kits, as well as a range of palettes, etc. La Femme and Nixie are both good quality brands that are a lot easier on the wallet than MAC or Sephora.
You can certainly try eBay or your local cosmetics outlet stores; just be very careful because many outlets are selling discontinued items that may (often) be expired. Just know what is currently available at the MAC counter and shop accordingly.


Also, use caution with eBay as they are notorious for selling fake MAC products, especially the pigments.


Good Luck!
Try ebay, but currently sephora has a really nice set for $22.
