simple and compact palette [SEP] i like how portable this is to take with me in my makeup bag when traveling the contour is subtle enough so i do not look like a clown i am not a makeup superhero so i am sure i could be better at contouring and highlighting the matte finish is nice but i wish the highlighter was more pronounced with a little shimmer each color is very compacted so it takes a little bit of pressure to get powder i do not use the middle color at all since it is a muddly color there is a small brush that comes with this setj which is nice it has soft bristles and a nice angle there is also a nice size mirror considering this is small
