What would help others is what skintone/eye color/haircolor you have. That would tailor a palette perfect to your looks.

Cheers but what I'm looking for is a universal palette (to be used with all skin types, hair types, eye types). I thought someone who does Wedding Make-ups often may have constructed one of these
ie. using A few browns, a few caramels, taupes, a few pales, a few purple / burgendys, a few pinks
Just neutrals I suppose, as I find most of the wedding make-ups I do it is more suitable to down play the colours to bring out the natural beauty of the brides ie the eyes. This is what I was taught, for example it would be very unusual for me to use a blue eyeshadow while doing a wedding make-up
Normally I would just select the colours myself but it's hard to tell over the internet and I don't have a MAC near me

Ah! Gotcha! Now I understand--you want a palette that you can use for weddings for others as an artist, not for yourself. Does anyone out there have a photo of their kit?

Quote:
for pales - Naked Lunch, Shroom and Jest (also a pink)
browns - definitely Mulch, maybe Mystery, can't think of a 3rd - Woodwinked (also caramel)
taupe - Coquette, Concrete
pinks - Mink Pink, Sweet Lust
purple - Shale - most others have too much red in them
burgundy - Sketch or Cranberry
i would pick one versatile green like Sumptuous Olive or Swimming, one medium-light blue like Fade and one very dark blue like Contrast or Plumage - because you never know when someone will ask for blue or green and you won't have it and a blue liner colour can make a nice change from dark brown, especially if the bride you're working on has dark brown eyes.
hope that helps!
