Minor flaws, but amazing quality anyways
This product was the first cream contouring kit I've ever purchased. Previously I was using Maybelline's Face Studio concealers, but after seeing the amazing deal of this kit, I had to buy it. The case it comes in is very chic! And reading all of the previous reviews I had a feeling my money would be well spent. I received my kit on time, no damage whatsoever. The colors are nicely pigmented, much better than say, using powders to contour. I have never had a problem with blending as this is a cream. The consistency is wonderful as well, not too creamy but not too stiff. The reason I am giving the kit 4 stars instead of a perfect 5 though is because the lightest shade (banana) doesn't seem to conceal and highlight that well. It's the only shade in the palette that I have to really dip my brush in so I can apply it to my face and actually see a significant difference. So I just mix both the banana shade and my Maybelline Face Studio concealer in Fair. The banana shade might work for someone who is looking for sheer coverage, but due to the natural redness of my skin I like using products that are heavier and can conceal my dark circles without having to load a bunch of product on a brush.<br /><br />Another reason I'm rating 4 stars is because there isn't much product in the pans. I usually do my makeup every other day or so and using this product every time to contour would cause me to run out fast. I also do not use the bottom two shades as I am very pale, but I just tried the first shade on the bottom row and it works great. I would suggest, if you want a more dramatic contour, to use one of the bottom shades, but beware if you are as pale as me! Blend blend blend!<br /><br />Shout-out to Lush too for sending me a .PDF of tips and tricks! I definitely learned a thing or two that I didn't know before, and that's a shock as most of my free time is spent reading up on makeup products and whatnot.<br /><br />Definitely a must for your makeup collection overall. Would recommend in a heartbeat (and I already have!)
Rating: 4 stars
