What it is | A true “shadow” shade cream contour in a twist-up stick applicator. I have fair-to-light skin tone, so I include my exact shade as well, in case you have a similar skin tone to mine.īest for | Everyone, including drier skin types. These are my four favorite contouring products, the best formulas and the best cool tones for a true shadow contour. Researching for this post made me realize how many contour products are available now in 2023! It’s wild. Tarte Miracles From The Amazon 4 Piece Collection.Requested | Battle of the drugstore liquid liners.Introducing SoapNSkin - A British Natural Skincare.Review | Colourpop Lippie Stix In Brink.If I’m going for a warmer look I’ll first contour with shadowplay and then I’ll add a touch of this shade directly under the cheekbones (using a smaller brush) and my face instantly looks sharper and well defined! Subconscious: The deepest shade in the palette, obviously this will make a wonderful contour shade for all the deep-skin beauties out there! I LOVE that Kat Von D made sure that each of the shades would cater to a specific skintone in particular and also that the deepest shade doesn’t have a red or orange has a grey tone too! I find that a lot of the time when you get bronzers this deep they don’t have that vital grey undertone to form a shadow, but this shade does and although its a little too deep for me to pull off in a rush, I can make it work. It’s almost on par with my HG bronzer.almost! Again another gem of a shade and one that I use frequently. I’ll go for this shade if my foundation is quite light, one swipe of this will add definition and when it is blended around the perimeters of the face it gives me a healthy warm look. Shadowplay: Deeper and slightly warmer than Sombre, meaning you can get a great contour with this as well as a touch of warmth too. The lack of warmth means it’ll be very hard for you to get a smudgy or muddy looking nose which is always a good thing!! I love this shade so much, it is perfection! Plus it’ll work well for all skintones from fair-deep olive. Also for any of you who like to nose contour a little this will be your best friend. Oh and trust me, I have become quite a chubby bunny as of late so I’ve been putting this to the extra test and I LOVE it. Sombre: One of the best grey toned powders I have ever seen, its mimics a shadow so well that you can really achieve a chizeled look. The times I’ve used this are when my concealer is a little too light, it tones down the yellow a smidge and leaves a flawless finish. Although it is easier to use a corrector underneath your concealer, a touch of this works decently. Also the orange tone can work well at correcting dark/ashy tones. Levitation: A pale orange shade which swatches a lot less intensely than it looks in the pan! I think this would be the perfect setting shade for my beautiful deep skinned ladies. If I could change ONE thing about this palette it would be that the shade lyric is the same size as the contour/bronzing shades - know I’ll hit pan on it first. If I could buy this shade individually I 100% would. Lyric will work well for most skintones which are light-medium and deeper. Don’t get me wrong this can be overdone, so a little goes a long way and boy does this set concealer like a dream! It brightens up the face, keeps concealer in place and doesn’t look cakey at all, one tap is all you need. Yes I love this more than my much raved about Ben Nye Banana powder because it’s a lot less messy and the powder is super fine yet very pigmented. I sometimes like to mix this with the yellow shade next to it if I feel like my concealer is a touch too close to my skintone and if I can’t be bothered to get out a face powder, I also use a little of this shade around the nose and mouth - the places where my base tends to migrate from first! Lucid: A pale slightly pink/beige toned powder which’ll work better for brightening up the under-eye circles for those of you with pale/fair skin. Much to my delight I’ve actually used every single shade which makes me so happy because I really am getting my moneys worth! P.S Excuse the rubbish swatches, I’m sure you can google better ones D: The shade names are pretty unique and I’ll just run through each one with a brief description and how I’ve found them.
