BEST CONTOUR PALETTE 2015 HOW TO

However, for me, the lighter shades on the kit just don’t work as well. I really like the 3 darker shades, and these create a subtle but buildable shadow effect.

They are quite thick, and some people might find it a bit daunting when they first apply shade 6 in particular, but just remember to keep blending and all will be well. The instructions suggest using an angled contour brush to blend, but I’ve been alternating between my buffing brush and a blending sponge – I’d say using the sponge takes a little longer but leaves a more seamless blending result. So it’s all good in principle, but what’s the contour kit like in practice? Firstly, despite what you might think looking at that weird bubbling in the above photo, the creams are nice to use and easy to work with.

Here are the Sleek kit instructions on how to use each shade, thus getting the most from the full palette: You don’t want your temples to look sunken-in and sharp, after all. very hollow, borderline skeleton-like – isn’t the same as the shadow you want to create down the side of your nose, or around your temples. And it finally made sense to me! Of course the shadow that you want to create underneath your cheekbones – ie. Howev er the Sleek kit comes with a handy little guide to contouring that actually explained to me the point of using all six shades. Now, one of my issues with the ABH kit was that I didn’t understand why I needed six shades, and assumed I would only use two of the shades and thus waste the other four (which would be like £26.60 worth of product – NAH, not happening). I opted for the Sleek Cream Contour Kit in the shade Medium, but it’s also available in Light and Dark. The kit contains six shades, ranging from light to dark. At £10.99, the Sleek dupe was much more up my (skint) street, so I couldn’t resist snapping it up. Like most of other females on the planet, I’d lusted over the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit for a long time, but could never quite bring myself to fork out the £40 to buy it. So of course when I saw that Sleek were releasing their Cream Contour Kit, I nearly piddled with excitement. Like, ‘burn all photos of me before 2013 because I can’t stand looking at my natural moon face’ into my contouring. If you’ve read my bog for a while then you’ll know I’m into my contouring.
