i am a beginner at contouring this kit was perfect for me [SEP] i have a very fair skin tone my foundation range is usually ivory or light ivory the lightest choices i am no makeup guru but am intrigued with all the contouring i see going on in social media and magazines i wanted to know more but needed a tutorial on how to do this for my face i liked this set because it came with instructions on how to apply correctly for a contour effecteach palette in this set is made up of a blush like material there is no foundation or creamy application to it each shade is also matte and does not include any pearly or sheen tint to it the directions state to apply your regular foundation first then use this contour kit then follow up with your regular blush and bronzeri really loved the brush that was included in the kit it gave me much better contouring effects than any brush i have used from my makeup set before the brush is thick and flat because this is a powder blush application this gave me noticeable contouring on my face without being too dramatic like a foundation contour product might do that requires sponge blending i was able to blend this powder in as much as i liked which softened the contour look as i get more confident in my application i will not need to blend it in as much but will enjoy a little more drama in the applicationoverall this was a great product for someone like me to try out that is just getting started with contouring for a more advanced or skilled makeup artist i would assume you would want more dramatic effects than this powder suppliespromotional discount offered for review purposes
