Contour and Highlight Duo - Review

I still haven't got round to buying the Make Up For Ever Sculpting Kit but found this similar looking product on Ebay and decided to check it out...

The duo is packaged in matte black plastic casing which I really like. It clicks shut nicely and not flimsy and opening when you do not want it to.

It has a strong smell..which is due to the plastic and a little from the product too. I am hoping this calms down in time but it does not transfer onto your face when applied.

Both powders are matte which is what you want for shaping, sculpting and contouring your face. The brown is pretty dark and the white is similar to Vanilla eyeshadow from MAC. The contour is one of the darker ones I have and I swatched it next to some of the similar toned contour powders I own.

MAC Harmony, Ebay Contour Kit, Benefit Hoola!, Sleek Face Contour Kit

The contour shade applies well. It's pretty dark so need to be careful when using this, but a light hand or a fan brush solves this problem.

I am a little unsure about the highlight shade as it kind of blends into thin air into nothing! Lol.. I will work with it some more, but despite my dark skin tone, a few brush strokes and there's no sign of this left on the face and I found myself reaching for my other highlight powders.

Overall, the contour powder makes it worthwhile a try - it's cheap, does the job and the packaging makes it a good one to travel with in your makeup kit. The dark pigmentation of the contour powder also means it can be used on a variety of skin tones.

I bought this from Ebay for £2.99 and was shipped from Asia in about 28 days. These palettes are exactly the same and what is on for sale at Coastal Scents, only difference being these are unbranded so a fraction of the cost! product is the exact same!
