14 makeup palettes that died in tragic ways

Few things break a makeup lover's heart like a destroyed palette. An eye shadow single might make us pout. But a PALETTE?

That's a lip tremble followed by real tears. This list is a graveyard of palettes and it *will* shatter your heart into a million pieces.

Warning: You're gonna need a bigger tissue box.

Luckily, Jeffree Star Cosmetics has a fair return policy when these tragedies take place.

But the Kylie Cosmetics return policy isn't so merciful. You better hope your order doesn't ship to your house like this.
