Review (5/5): I'm a beginner at contouring. This kit was perfect for me.
I have a very fair skin tone - my foundation range is usually ivory, or light ivory, the lightest choices. I am no makeup guru, but am intrigued with all the contouring I see going on in social media and magazines. I wanted to know more, but needed a tutorial on how to do this for my face. I liked this set because it came with instructions on how to apply correctly for a contour effect.
Each palette in this set is made up of a blush like material - there is no foundation or creamy application to it. Each shade is also matte, and does not include any pearly or sheen tint to it. The directions state to apply your regular foundation FIRST, then use this contour kit, THEN follow up with your regular blush and bronzer.
I really loved the brush that was included in the kit. It gave me much better contouring effects than any brush I have used from my makeup set before. The brush is thick and flat. Because this is a powder/blush application, this gave me noticeable contouring on my face, without being too dramatic like a foundation contour product might do that requires sponge blending. I was able to blend this powder in as much as I liked, which softened the contour look. As I get more confident in my application, I won't need to blend it in as much, but will enjoy a little more drama in the application.
Overall, this was a great product for someone like me to try out that is just getting started with contouring. For a more advanced or skilled makeup artist, I'd assume you would want more dramatic effects than this powder supplies.
