To the ones that use this palette do you have all three. I can only afford just one to start with which one should I go with cool,warm,neutral. I'm thinking neutral but I don't know. What do you guys suggest?
I have all three. Neutral would be your best bet. I find the neutral leans warmer in some shades though.
If you like the foundation and have more funds in the future, I'd get the other two though- the range of deep shades is lovely.
I have slowly left my comfort zone of liquid foundation and crossed over to graftobian cream. Wow is all I can say! It is so much easier to use and it photographs wonderfully. I plan to eventually purchase all three palettes but so far I have the warm and I'm pretty pleased with it.
I can only afford one graftobian super palette as well. I was thinking my options were going to be
1. The warm super palette
2. The neutral super palette
3. Or getting the warm #1 and #3 5 color palette and the cold #1 palette for very pale girls.
I was figuring if I get the neutral palette I could use yellow, pink, and blue color adjusters that come with it to match the foundation to the clients undertones better. But the warm palette looks like it has a much better gradient of shades...but if I do stumble across a very cool tone model, the colors are going to really clash against their skin.
I use the Graftobian HD Creme Superpallette in 'warm' and I love it... dust it with some MUFE finishing powder and done. No liquid/powder foundation in my kit. I just reorder individual colors using the color info on the back of the palette when I run low.

No I don't agree ...Iv'e tried revlon colourstay and it's nice but isn't a patch on Graftobian. Graftobian is formulated for the camera making life a little easier when it comes to application. It's a medium coverage foundation+ ( I wouldn't say full but it's buildable). I have the warm palette and it goes on beautifully like a second skin.
I was using BB creams before which are great for a dewy finish but I usually want something matte that let's the skin through - graftobian is great for this. It's also alot more compact for your kit than Revlon foundations. Revlon has a good but basic colour range, meaning you'll need adjusters for more warm/cool tones. Also the darkest shade of revlon is not half way dark enough, I work in London which is very diverse so I really do need a variety of shades and undertones....
Saying that, you have to start somewhere right ? I don't think you can really skimp on foundations though, it's the base of your canvas.
Based on my experience with Graftobian foundation, which I love, I would get the warm palette, they're warm but not the most yellow I've seen (e.g. Face Atelier is warmer) so they work beautifully on neutral skintones as well.
Then get a few adjusters (Temptu makes a great starter pack) and you have any skintone covered, in a very compact size.

^Totally agree. I personally use Revlon Colorstay on myself for my day to day makeup and there is no comparison. Colorstay was not made for photography and as far as I know also contains some SPF which is a flash no, no.
Another thing about using consumer line products is that it makes you look really unprofessional IMO. The people who are paying me hundreds of dollars to do their makeup for photos or weddings don't want me to put out drug store makeup. It might sound snobby but it is the reality of things in this industry.
I have the neutral palette along with a couple couple of their loose colors and I have never had a problem with matching anyone. I think I have been using it for 4+ years on clients and re-filling.
as soon as i come up with the funds. I totally am not doing make up right now due to a damage in my kit & ive heard great reviews so I am going to replace most of my things with that!

+1
I don't do makeup all that often now, but the warm palette + adjusters usually work well for me on those occasions when I do. There are a couple of shades I have never used though, so I may actually replace those with a few neutrals to round things out.
and it photographs very nice.
