Did you know that you can apply for a MAC Pro card? So you can receive discount. This may be a good option if you love MAC but are concerned about the cost. In my kit, I have a selection of brands-all high end and professional. When I started out, to keep costs down, I bought a small selection of shades in light and darker foundations, and mixed them to create other shades. Once working with clients you will soon find what shades tend to be more popular and what you need to add more of to your kit.

Also, Artdeco do a great range of make-up, and you can get a good little kit together from them.
You could also add a couple of MAC products to your Artdeco kit, and add on more MAC products as you earn.

I would buy the best you can afford for now, and when you start to get more booking invest in more expensive brands.

Grimas do Creme foundation palettes for around £50 for 24 shades.

I have used them myself along with other pro brands and they are very good and a little goes a long way!

I would recommend carrying a few different brands ( I carry 4 different foundation brands) as different skin types need different types of foundations

I recommend the @LeMaqPro student kits as this is the makeup that pros use on Film & TV. It is also manufactured into the most transportable packaging. You can grow the range by adding some of the 3000 products covering every possible shade. It is also the first #4KCertifiedMakeup, paraben free, cruelty free and uniquely it is actually made in France as opposed to assembled.

As CharlieE mentioned above you can get a 'MAC Cosmetics' Pro Card for 40% off or you can start off with the professional makeup palettes by 'Mash Up London' they are cheaper.
