For the fair skinned….
I am very fair skinned. It is hard to find light colors in contour for us! I saw this and thought the price was right to just try it. Also it is dye free. I am allergic to red dye and finding makeup is not that easy for me. It arrived in a nicely packed box. It was intact. As you can see, there are four colors. I have only used two of those. The lightest colors – obviously. I am always up to try new things with my makeup but I wasn’t for sure I could pull this of. I wore it to a wedding shower and got compliments on how good my skin looked! I am sure it was the contouring. I used a stiff thin brush for each of the highlighting and the shadowing. It does not come with a brush nor is there anywhere to store even a little brush. A little does go along way with a bit of this. I had learned how to contour a couple of years ago but could never find the right shades me. This is it! Don’t be afraid to try it because it is not that hard. Look for YouTube videos or just a diagram of how to contour your shape of face. It is easy to do once you know what shape of face you have. I don’t know that I will put the time in to wearing this everyday – but when I have the time I definitely will. I would say that once you get the hang of it – you can do it in about 5 -6 minutes. I highly recommend this product.

Good palette for the price
For the price, this is good but not great. I appreciate that the pans have a decent amount of product and are large enough to easily get a brush in to them. I also really like that the pans can be easily removed so you can put them in something like a Z palette. The mirror is large and I think that’s a great positive aspect of this palette. It travels well and I like that.The highlighting shade (top left) is a bit glittery for my taste. I’m extremely fair and even on my light skin, it gives a bit of a chalky cast as well. But it’s functional and if blended out really well, you get a very subtle, natural highlight.The light yellowish powder (top right) is good for setting the undereye area, although I find I need a light hand or it can get chunky. It does oxidize a bit on me, but it’s definitely not bad. This powder and the bronzing powder are definitely my favorites.The bronzing powder (bottom left) was a pleasant surprise. It’s a neutral tone that seems to work well on a variety of skin tones (I had a few friends who wanted to try it), although it’s fairly subtle and would probably be too light for anyone darker than a medium skin tone. It’s buildable and there is no shimmer in it, which I appreciate.The contouring powder (bottom right) was a disappointment. I love the color, as it’s a cool-toned but not ashy color that would be ideal for my fair skin. The issue is that it’s really patchy and streaky. It sticks to the spot where you first put it and for the life of me, I can’t get it to blend out. When I tried using this for contouring my cheeks, I ended up with muddy looking dark patches after blending heavily with a brush. I removed all my makeup and tried again, this time blending it out with a damp makeup sponge. Still no luck. I will save this for contouring under my chin, where the patchiness won’t be as noticeable. But this will never go on my cheeks again.

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED
I was very eager to get this pallet and was anticipating that it was going to be absolutely perfect for my coloring. According to the marketing photos, this palette looks like it ought to flatter someone with pink undertones, which I have. However, in reality, this is more flattering to someone with yellow undertones. Very disappointing. However I was impressed by the packaging. It came in a nice box that also has an interlining, and the case is black plastic and feels very sturdy. The colors are quite pigmented so a little bit is going to go a long way. It is very sad that this pallet does not match my complexion at all. Great great value for the money, if this matches your complexion.

Nice options for contour
Bought this for a wedding, it went on smoothly and looked great!
