Questions and answers

Which kit is better for mature skin?

Both are built around baked powders made for mature skin and use the same Baked Balance-n-Brighten foundation. The Cult Classics kit adds a hydrating primer, which helps if dryness or fine lines are your main concern.

Which gives more for the money?

The Starter Kit. At recent lows it was $49.00 on November 2 against $69.00 for the Cult Classics kit, and it includes two more pieces, a palette and five brushes.

Do both include the same foundation?

Yes. Both include Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation in your shade, with light to medium buildable coverage that self-adjusts as you blend.

Which is better if I want eyeshadow?

The Starter Kit. Its Best of the Best palette includes baked eyeshadows in Sunstone, Almond and Oyster, plus bronzer. The Cult Classics kit has no eyeshadow.

Which is better for travel?

The Starter Kit comes with a quilted makeup bag and brush case. The Cult Classics kit's single retractable kabuki brush packs smaller if you want to carry less.

Is the Cult Classics kit worth the extra money?

Only if you want the primer and lipstick. If you mainly want foundation, blush, highlighter and brushes, the Starter Kit covers that for less.
