Review (4/5): This is a good set of contouring colors
This is a good set of contouring colors. It has a huge range of colors needed for dark skin, to light skin, It even includes a white cream for highlighting along with some green and pinks to even out skin tone. Basically this set is a great set to start with and to have on hand for when your skin goes thru some funky changes. We all have that happen from time to time. Anyways my contouring kit is a cream set of 15 colors. Each color is very creamy and I had no issues with blending and rubbing in. However I always use a high quality primer with all makeup so that may add to the easy technique of blending into the mixture. Each color has its advantages along with its disadvantages. Like I said not every color is going to suit your needs so If you are looking for specific colors this is not the set for you, this is a range of colors for different shades of skin.
The makeup seemed to be long wearing but please dont forget that I used primer and that could have something to do with makeup wear length. I also did not break out with this cream as I have done with so many other colors. Of course I made sure to clean my face off each evening and I never slept in it at all. The plastic holding the makeup tins is a hard black plastic, I wouldnt call it super high quality but its not the cheapest I have come across. The reason for 4 stars is because I prefer mirrors in the compact as sometimes I like to have my makeup in hand while applying and it would be nice if a mirror was included. However it takes no value away from the makeup its just my personal preference. I also need to research some of these ingredients, (which I havent done as of yet while writing the review) I have not recongized a couple and usually most ingredients I am somewhat familiar with as I am a makeup fanatic. Nothing jumps out and screams do not put on your face though. I also wish the ingredients was listed on the hard plastic case so once you dispose of the box which everyone does you still have a list of ingredients in case you have some delayed reaction after long term use. Another reason for 4 stars. However overall I am pleased with this makeup palette. It seems to be well suited for a starter pack for those learning to contour, and those whose skin goes thru some weird skin tones from time to time. My only complaints were the ones listed above and no others. Makeup seems to spread smoothly and blends well. Which is what most women prefer when it comes to contouring. I did notice it did take several coats and more during application than what I am used to however compared to regular drug store kits its pretty comparable to it, may be a tad better in quality as it blends easily.
I received this makeup palette for free for testing and reviewing purposes, I have come to this conclusion by using and wearing this makeup for a few days myself.
