Highlighting and contouring is all the rage right now evident by the COUNTLESS number of contouring products available on the market, but my favorite thing and the reason I chose this one is because of it's affordability@ $24.99! This product has good pigmentation and it blends out wonderfully for me. It has three what I would classify as "highlighting" shades, one under eye setting powder(also great for brightening the under eye area), and it has four contouring/bronzing shades (three matte and one with shimmer).
Note: Don't judge my hairy arms or my scar(made by a hungry iguana!)
Shade One: A light shimmery pink champagne color, love this on tops of cheekbones.
Shade Two: A beige matte highlight, perfect for under the brow highlight!
Shade Three: A yellow matte powder perfect for setting and brightening the under eye concealer.
Shade Four: A shimmery yellow based champagne highlight, also great for tops of cheekbones!
Shade Five: A Light cool toned matte brown perfect for contouring.
Shade Six: A cool toned brown with some notable shimmers in it making it better for bronzing.
Shade Seven: A warm toned matte brown great for contouring.
Shade Eight: A deep warm toned matte brown good for contouring deeper skin tones.
Overall I LOVE LOVE LOVE this palette it's got great pigmentation and it blends well on my skin; it is a little powdery when you put your brush in it but it's manageable. I have been using the Real Techniques blush brush to apply and blend out. I have normal skin, not particularly oily nor dry and always apply this product after using a setting powder all over the face. Take that into consideration when thinking about your own product and experience. Everyone's skin is different.
Be The Best You,
