Choosing the right Vueset palette

If you're looking to lighten your kit but aren’t sure which palette to choose, start by asking yourself: What products do I want to depot? How many shades, and how much of each shade do you need? There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but a few key considerations can help you decide.

Lipsticks

For lipsticks, you can depot an entire bullet (on average) into each well of a Tahiti (24 wells) or Rio (48 wells). This means less frequent refills, saving you from the hassle of repeating the depotting process. A Tahiti palette is about the size of your hand and holds up to 24 shades of lipstick. If you need more capacity, the Rio is double the upgrade.

Pro tip: Storing foundations

Instead of lugging 50 bottles, use 10-20 wells of the Tahiti or Rio palette for your primary foundations. If neccessary, you can mix and match to create the shades you left behind on the fly. The remaining wells are perfect for storing color correctors like tangerine, mustard, pink, or yellow shades, offering you versatile options without the added bulk.

Cream Products

For cream products like foundations, blushes, bronzers, and concealers, King Jack (24 wells), Viking Jack (12 wells), or Mango (12 wells) are ideal. These palettes have larger wells to fit the majority of your product, making them perfect for depotting sticks, creams, and multi-use products.

Depotting Guidlines

1. Maintain Product Integrity

Ensure that the quality of the makeup is maintained during depotting by using sanitized tools and clean containers.

2. Ensure Proper Labeling

Properly label each container. A pro tip is to use the back of lipstick labels or other original packaging labels to avoid confusion.

3. Track Expiry Dates

Keep track of the product's expiration date, as depotting can sometimes make it harder to remember when items were purchased or when they might expire.

Portability

When a little goes a long way—lighten your MUA kit!


Depotting allows you to carry only what you need. Instead of lugging around entire palettes or foundation bottles, transfer just enough product into compact containers. This reduces the weight of your kit, making it easier to move, especially for jobs that involve travel.

Efficiency

When every second counts—dozens of shades in the palm of your hand.

Whether you're working with limited counter space or tight deadlines, Vueset makes it easier to find and select shades. It saves you time during applications, ensuring every second is spent perfecting the look rather than searching for products.

Durability

When traveling—Vueset offers peace of mind.

Vueset containers are known for their durability, making them the ideal depotting solution for makeup artists on the go. Designed to withstand the rigors of travel, whether you're on a plane, train, or on set for long hours, you can trust that your products will stay safe and secure, eliminating concerns about spills or breakage.

So, why Vueset?

Depotting containers are essential for any makeup artist looking to maximize efficiency, stay organized, and be prepared for every situation without the burden of a heavy, cumbersome kit.
