A lot of you who are regular readers will know by now that I don't usually tend to contour my face. I don't like layers of makeup, stripes and all of that jazz, so when this palette from Contour Cosmetics arrived on my desk, I was sceptical...
That was until I heard that the Kardashians have used it, I'm sold already.
First off, there are six different shades which cover most skin tones. I would say there is one light enough for my complexion and one dark enough for very dark complexions, so it has a broad spectrum of shades (Thankfully!).
First off, I use the lightest shade for my concealer! I love it because like I said, it's light enough for my skin tone and is a good creamy texture with a medium/buildable to full coverage.
For contouring, I used the lightest of the darker shades and worked it in using a Niko Pro brush and applied the lightest shade above it. I blended it in to avoid the dreaded 'stripe' and it blended really nicely. I found if I worked with it quickly it blended easier because it didn't have time to 'set'.
I even took a really fine brush and (real techniques fine liner to be precise!) and used the second darkest shade to create freckles!
Here's the finished look...
I was pretty impressed with how it turned out!
Maybe I'm a contour convert afterall...
