We Gave 6 Makeup Artists $100 to Spend at Sephora — Here's What They Bought

Use your hard-earned money wisely on the go-to makeup picks of industry pros.
"Buying a new eye shadow palette never fails to make me feel all bubbly inside. I can't get over the new Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Palette. It's been one of the hottest launches of the year, and I can see why. All the color selections coordinate with each other beautifully, and the shadows themselves blend so easily. The palette rings in at a pricey $65, but if you're going to splurge on one thing, make it this palette! I ended up a little over budget -- but let's be honest, that's what happens when you shop at Sephora."
